These are neat! I’ve had some fun using mulberry washi paper scraps with light stitching designs on my embroidery machine.

Finally managed to settle down and get some college work done this evening.
A sample for my 2nd idea for exam project. This time I’m looking at using recycled fabric (scraps/old clothes etc) to upcycle a denim jacket. I had a go at using various scraps and soluble stabilizer to make ‘new’ fabric that could be used to decorate or mend a jacket (or anything else you fancy).
Love that there’s shimmer and shine
Back not too shabby either

How did you like it? I am tempted to buy a kit and try this…any tips?
I enjoyed it! It was easy and relaxing. The only tip I have is if you are doing a larger one with lots of colors is to get some type of containers to store the diamonds in.

I’ve been busy crafting and not keeping up with my list of finished projects.
I made a baby blanket for my niece and nephew’s baby girl (due this Spring), still need to weave in the ends (I’ll take more pics and give it its own post when I do).
I’m working on a shawl for myself, and when questioned by DS2 about it, he demanded a new scarf for himself. Adorable little tyrant. I made this bandana cowl out of yarn I spun myself.
DS2 has a birthday coming up, and is a big Minions fan, so I made him this weekender bag. It was a fun project.

Love the colors on the baby afghan…it will last a long time as the baby gets older!
Your son knows how to take advantage of his talented mom’s skills! How cool is that bandana!
Of course, the bag…is it just amazing!

I made a couple zip pouches. The first is a hummingbird zipper pouch which was my offering for the Feb stitchalong and the second was a *youre pouch which used up fabric purchased years ago that I’m using as a Nerd Games zap.

@Lynx Lovely pouches! The fabric for the hummingbird looks like bubble-wrap.
Next batch of doll dresses for the list.
Plus another one for my bigger dolls. This is actually a muslin for reworking a pattern I tried last year. It still needs some work but turned out relatively well.

I know you told us in previous years, but how big are these dolls?
Thanks…I thought the little ones were about six inches…wow…that is why their dresses are so darned cute!!!
Regarding the Diamond Art/Painting
I have a friend that has done a bunch of them. She said to make sure to leave something heavy (books, heavy framed print with maybe more books?) atop it following completion to help the crystals adhere well.
I also ordered myself a diamond painting ruler online. Another friend said she could’ve used it because some of her lines weren’t straight. I bought myself a partial kit at the first of December, with Santa, and haven’t started on it yet. Of course then later saw them for 80% off.

Ooh, @wereradletshug do you have a picture of your fussy cut sampler? I’d love to see it (sorry if you posted it further down in this thread, I’m still at the very top reading through everything)!
@AudiobookLover I’ll be photographing it today, so I’ll be sure to tag you when I post it here as well as the post link
