Thank you so much! 
It was a joint project between my now-husband and myself. I am also delighted with how it turned out.

Thank you so much, @AntBee and @tendstowardschaos! It was so different from how it was planned, but I loved and appreciated every minute! 
I’m SOOOOO glad that I didn’t try to make my own dress in the end, though. I think that would have actually caused some kind of breakdown…

Another project dump! Listed in the order in which I managed to get pictures of the project rather than any sort of chronology of when they were made, because time has no meaning, pandemic time doubly so (with apologies to Douglas Adams).
- A batch of doll dresses (surprise!). I managed to get 5 dresses out of a quarter yard of batik - there were two of the smallest size originally.
- Three dresses in various sizes from this yellow star print
-
Tiny but mighty Itty Bitty Boxy Pouch
-
Blythe Sweater (made with this pattern) that doesn’t actually fit a Blythe

I want to knit tiny sweaters…I have so much sock yarn…
Covid 19: the Universe’s longest lunch!
Amazing tiny things… you’re a marvel! What are the dimensions on that wee box pouch?

Or (to switch universe) perhaps the Long Dark Teatime of Social Isolation? But yes time is definitely an illusion especially now. (we’re at what, March 370th 2020?)
That sweater is super cute, even if you had to switch what doll size it fit-- what did you knit with? (One of my old BJD friends used to knit tiny sweaters with needles made of piano wire)

I have no concept of time since I retired…we have six calendars posted all over our house just so I know what day it is! The only reason it matters for me, really, is that I don’t like to go anywhere during a workday lunch period (crowded food places!) or end up stuck in work traffic at the end of the day…they say it gets some getting used to!
I knit Barbie and Blythe sweaters using size 0, 1 and 2’s…I had to get metal needles because I kept breaking the tiny bamboo ones.

@AIMR have a set of circulars with really short tips that works well for knitting doll sweaters, but otherwise all my bamboo dpns in that size are very curved. Thankfully only one or two has broken.
-
A skirt for a larger size than I normally craft for (45cm ish)
-
And then I learned to make pleats (not pictured - the rather mangled prototype that’s an unholy mash-up between this skirt and the one above)

98 cent Curtain

The tiny pleated skirt is so cute…and I looked up that fork method…I use a fork to make bows and pompoms, so it made sense! A fork is in my tool jar on my sewing table…lol
thank you for that sweet offer. I am overloaded with commitments so will decline.
It’s making me a bit crackers that I have finished, like, 6 things that I can’t post (yet)! I’ll be shipping my IYP Swap package tomorrow, so hopefully by the end of the week I can open the gates and flood my list! I also have a “set” WIP that is half done and is waiting on something so I can complete it. ARRRRRRRG!

Trillian-I love that doll sweater.
ErChanHime-I particularly adore your hairpin. My daughter is just learning to use resin, I never have. I can’t imagine how you get the movement with the wires while using resin. Very pretty.

Thank you! It’s not actually resin. It’s glue and nail polish!! I used this tutorial mostly, and then some experimentation.

Well, I FINALLY get to add pics from a swap package I made, because it’s going to be delivered today! I am going on the assumption that my parnter won’t be checking my post for updates on this thread, of course, so I haven’t made them their own topics, yet. But while I was at it, I realized I hadn’t updated with a few other projects. I’ve hit (I think?) the halfway mark! Well, if 50 is the finish line, which it isn’t really. And you count a couple of placeholders. Ahem.

Hi
Figured this would be a good place to come out of lurking and start with blaming my sister (@Tanath) for getting me on here.
Haven’t done much art since becoming a parent a few years ago up until Sep 1st of last year. In order to battle the pandemic induced brain rot, I decided to dedicate at least 15 minutes to art every day.
A good portion of the projects I’ve worked on have been drawing (something I never thought I was good at) but I have been trying to explore other forms of creation as well.
I’ll go by list formats I saw above and try to keep this up to date 
.

I have a few projects in addition to the items I made for the IYP swap to add to my list.
The oldest…this afghan I made for our camper. I started it more than a year ago, and it sat, almost finished, for a few months because weaving in the ends is my least favorite part (old picture…see all those awful strings?!).
A pair of dog collars:
I crocheted a pair of fruit hammocks to hang under my kitchen cabinets. The other is a doily and hangs under this one (forgot to take a picture). I used up the last of my cotton yarn, too.
I 3D-printed, then painted, a pair of needle cases. The one for @Bunny1kenobi got some bling, too:
A simple needle minder made from fabric-covered buttons:
A pearl and crystal bracelet:
A mini book necklace:
And some hand dyed, handspun yarn:
