Gorgeous @tendstowardschaos! @TheMistressT I believe we all deserve adult merit badges any time we do something productive these days. And doing such an important tasks months ahead of time is a truly responsible thing! It’s way more important than something mundane as doing laundry.

Thanks!
No. But, I’ll figure something out.

I finally finished my It-Felt-Never-Ending blanket project. I decided not to do a plaid border all the way around once I did the top and bottom edges because I really liked it. I wanted the blanket to have a cool edging not the edging to have a neat blanket, if that makes sense.
I made the project up using a screen grab of my friend’s very favorite characters and stitch fiddle to make a chart. My original plan was “a nice throw blanket” and ended up with a 7’ square-ish beast. Hopefully she likes it cuz it’s taking over her apartment later today haha. It’s not at all square, I flare out a bit as it works upward from accidental added stitches… but I think that… adds to the charm. Yes, yes. Charm. She and I are yarning buddies and we always say you dont want to make a perfect project and anger any gods so it actually works for this gift. 
It is due to be delivered today so I feel comfortable posting now. I dont think she will bump into this post while at work.

This is flat out adorable! I love the plaid on the top and bottom and think it was a great choice to do a simple thing on the sides. This will be treasured.

In the last OWS swap, @jillybeans sent me the cutest wooden cutouts to make a bunting… perfect for Halloween!
I painted them black and the added some silver sparkly paint to half of them. I tied Halloween fabric scraps between them…when I hung it up, I decided they needed googly eyes…what a fun and fast little project for my favorite holiday…I got it done for the Zoom meeting yesterday!

They turned out great!
So many great projects here! I’ve been somewhere between a daze and a slump, I made a few things but did not always take pictures. Especially not when it was masks, they start to look the same at some point. But I’m going to be making a few more for myself, trying a new pattern or two. I found that while I love wearing the one I’ve been using (adapted from the @Magpie pattern) usually, for work now I need something different. Six straight hours of lugging stuff around and talking to customers just makes them slip up or down. Mostly the talking. Yawning also not recommended. So that’s my current project, plus a few more from my list, as usual. I can post a few pretty pictures soonish too –– depending on how fast or slow the mail to New Zealand is from Germany.

Ooh, pretty bias tape! I just got a bias tape folder this year, and I can’t figure out what took me so long. I love custom tapes.
I’m almost up to 200 projects this year 
and I’ll probably get there. Here’s the latest batch:
A handspun earwarmer for my SIL.
A couple book covers.
A blank recipe book.
And an embroidered bookmark.

I was a few months behind on this thread, but I’m going to work on updating my list right now. I’m also going to change the thread settings so I can get notifications and stay updated on all the great work everyone is doing.
@jemimah I love the artwork you created! The lady and the bird is my favorite. Your watercolor skills are very impressive and the mixed media aspect really adds to the beauty of your picture.
@coryjo I love that you turned your grandma’s shirt into a pillow and that shawl is beautiful! I was curious about what it was going to look like when I read the name, ‘hotel for bees.’ It is a great bee representation both in color and pattern.
