I have wrapped 2 wreaths (they are not finished), and cut and stabilized a ton of soccer jerseys for eventual quilts.
Today, I finished The Adventures of Soft Kitty Turned Magnet)

MARCH CONTEST
A simple contest with everyone having a chance to win. It will be a random drawing but here is how to up your chances.
You can enter only ONE (1) project per week. If you make small items, it will be counted as one project if you post as one…you will be given up to 5 points if you make 5 of them. The most you can get is 5 points per week.
If you enter all 4 weeks, you can pick another project to enter for a total of 5.
Each project you enter will get points:
Small (<1 hour) = 1 point
Medium (1-3 hrs.)=2 points
Large (3-6 hrs.)=3 points
X-large (>6 hours)=5 points
You must state how many points you are going for on your project.
Example: Shawl - 5 points
At the end of the month, you will get one “ticket” for each point. I will do a random drawing from the tickets, so the more you have, the greater your chances! Pick your best projects with the higher point values or make a lot of little projects, etc. Your choice!
You can exchange one project previous submitted because I know how you guys like to randomly do a project that was not planned! 
The prize will be a $25 gift card from Amazon or any other online store you would like. International members will get the equivalent of $25 via paypal or online store.
Get crafting! March is a long month so plenty of time to rack up points!

I’m playing catch-up and have some pics to share of February projects.
Some duds for the 19cm doll:
A batch of dresses for the 16cm crew:
Something for the 12cm gal. This was my first time using lawn and with such tiny seam allowances I spent a lot of time fishing fabric out of my sewing machine’s feed-dogs. This itty-bitty thing caused enough frustration that I’m going to count it as a separate project rather than wait for a batch of three.
A test pattern for the 60cm doll. This girl is huge! After my usual tiny dresses the mind boggles at how much fabric she’s going to use.
That’s all for now, I think. There are a few stragglers still waiting to be batched up, but they’ll probably be caught up in future updates for March.

…faintly boggled at the idea of a standard SD-sized doll using up a lot of fabric. (Ok, I mostly sew for humans.)
Most of my last week was swap stuff, so nothing to show until I actually sort out pictures of birthday party crafts which are still in the bag that came home from the nature center while this Cold of Doom tries to weaken our lungs before the coronavirus even gets here. 
(I tried to walk my child to school this morning, got to the top of the hill, & had to sit down b/c I’d run out of oxygen. Ugh.)

You are just cruising along with these projects, at #43 already! It is a lovely shawl. I’m currently practicing my crochet skills on a doily.

I was just thinking he’s a lot bigger than the last pic you saw of him!
I can’t say I love it either! But now I know I can do it!

I did a little start-and-finish project today. My sister and I do our grocery shopping together at Aldi each week and she lamented not having a thing to keep her cart quarter attached to her reusable bags so today I dove into (one of) the apothecary jars of remnant yarns, pulled a keyring from my salvaged odds and ends and made her this:

No photo? Did you post before it loaded?
I was juggling posting from the chromebook then fast-edit from the phone to add a pic- you caught me! lol
Then it took me waaaay to long to do it because I was trying to be a cool kid like @AIMR and make it smaller after getting it in the post haha!

Oh, I do that too sometimes! Hah! Anyway, that is super cool and a very helpful idea for the quarter storage situation.

How cool that you whipped something up so quickly! I am seriously thinking of making a bunch of quarter holders and handing them out at Aldi this weekend…Great idea to attach them to a shopping bag…

Haven’t done too much. But on Saturday a friend had the idea that we should make (and by we should make meant I should make cus she doesn’t know how to do a lot of crafting) a couple small gifts for these guys we know through DnD. We “met” these guys on a DnD Discord server and at least four of us want to do a meet up sometime. It sounds like the guy are wanting to drive to us so we thought some small gifts made sense.
Anyway one of them is nicknamed Moon Will. So I decided a circle dice bag would make sense. It is pretty big so he can fit a lot of dice in there. I cut the circle 10inches diameter and lost maybe an inch from seams. Both in the little boxes and loose. Where the embroidery is there is a pocket. I might sew in a little Velcro so it can stay closed. But haven’t decided yet.
