And so it begins… another yarn cat.
That’s, like, all of them. Basically. Sorry, sis.
Alvin in a yarn/thread eater. My cat Rocket is not at all interested and would gladly sleep in my project bag. Hide the yarn…I saw a FB from our emergency vet where they removed almost a half skein of yarn from a cat’s tummy!
Omg! That poor cat!
I got a few craft kits for Christmas. I’m taking time out from work, so intend to get some projects finished…

I did some fun amateur mending on my “play” jeans. Since I wear them to Kidlet’s garden club meetings I decided to embrace the theme:
A hole at a worn crease in the thigh got a carrot garden fabric peek-through patch job and a splitting side seam got an embroidery thread loose carrot. It amuses me.
How fun to have a theme for repairing those jeans! The carrot is funny and nicely done!
Thank you! That means a lot from you folks that are accomplished embroidery floss users. ![]()
I forgot to get pictures when I finished this last month.
My arms get cold at work when I’m resting them on my desk, so I came up with this mat from pieced jean scraps.
Love that and what a great solution and reuse of scraps.
Oh wow, that’s so pretty! And from jeans! Did you have to use one of those special needles I hear about for sewing?
Thanks! I probably should use a special needle, but I just kept with my all-purpose. It was fine for what I needed.
Dang this is cool! What a great solution for your discomfort, too.
Just a quick in between project.
My man bought this lighthouse decoration for his mother’s birthday and asked me to change the color.

After:
Here’s another quick weekend project.
We connected a large pipe ring to the garden water system and drilled 16 tiny holes into it.
Fun sprinkler for my little one to play in the last days of the current heat wave
That’s a great idea. I keep wanting to do something with a sprinkler, but our water is so expensive here. So, no fun stuff. ![]()
This looks like a great way to cool off on a hot day for people of all ages!
Lunch time wire wrapping workshop at work 3 ladies & 2 gents participated, 9 pairs of earrings created!
Here are mine:
I think they did good work for beginners!
Well, that sounds super fun! These are cute! I don’t know if I could make one pair in an hour, let alone 6.
