If these ones don’t work out, try this pattern Reusable water balloons. I use chenille yarn for maximum water retention. :grin:

Whenever I see chenille, I always think of Chenille O’Neil from The Office (American version).

I finished another three, quick projects. Necklaces all from stash, so that’s a bonus.

For some reason I didn’t post as many things as I made last year. :grimacing:
I went over my goal but gave most of the items away or sold them and forgot to take pictures beforehand. (if I counted correctly then my total was 78 items)
This year I’ll try to post more.
My goal is to buy only thread if I need it.
My stash is getting overwhelmingly big :sweat:

No list this year I’ll just add when I finish something
