I have not really felt all that inspired to make things lately…I am pretty sure that some of it is just feeling lethargic from allergies to pollen and other spring nasties!
I did manage to get distracted while doing a bit of supplies clean up…these are made with embroidery thread that has to be over 10 years old from some forgotten or abandoned project…
Another month, another project dump. But I’m still catching up with stuff I made in February, so this may take a while…
A batch of dresses for a 6 inch doll. (Featuring the pleated skirt from project 11) Fun fact - three of these dresses are from the first fabrics I’d bought for doll sewing in over a year.
Tis the season to find great buys on woolens. I bought this zip cardigan, used, online specifically to decorate. My ancient zip cardigan bit the dust 2 years ago and I have felt lost without it.
I chose an embellishment that required many tiny stitches in case it would curl up when wet, but it was worth it. I love the little flowers and even tho I have a bit more braid, I am choosing NOT to just ‘use it up’ by adding it to the pockets. Anyone out there think that was a good decision, to leave as it is?

Lovely way to make the cardigan yours!
I would leave the trim off the pockets…I like the look of the zipper and the trim both being vertical…I think having the horizontal pockets decorated would be a bit distracting. Nice find!
I agree, I don’t think it needs anything on the pockets - it would make the trim less of a special feature

I really miss my friend Andrea…and her wonderful Italian meals…she sure spoiled us with her lavish dinners and Christmas Party…maybe this year we will be able to enjoy a dinner or two with her and her family! I have been making her aprons since we were young married women…it has been a few years since I made her one. I had this fabric in my stash and thought it would be perfect for an apron. All of the aprons I have made her have been in the theme of some of the dishes she makes.
This is project makes my total so far 63 projects…I think I am going to have a banner year this year!
So fun to see what you all have been up to! This is such a comforting and inspiring craftalong and I’m just so grateful that it keeps coming every year and so lucky to get to participate.
I’ve just added my 42nd project to my list and am started cutting my 43rd this afternoon! I’m not yet caught up creating topics, but should be in a few days. I LOVE THIS PLACE!

I am so glad to see those made up as pillows…just so adorable! They will be great as you camp around the country…a little bit of home always goes with you!
So nothing gets me out of a creative slump like a lettuce craft swap and the deadline involved!
I made a box, a miniature bedside lamp and cross stitched a little butterfly and put it in this miniature frame for the fill a box with whimsies swap. I’m wondering if these count as one project or 3?

I would count them as three since each one was different and required different supplies, techniques and loads of time! I love that tiny cross stitch but the lamp is my absolute favorite…
Everyone’s projects look great! I’ve been busy with life things and lots of non crafting relaxing. But I finally got myself to finish this dish cloth yesterday. I’m a pretty slow knitter/crocheter so any time I do a project with one of those I know it will be awhile. But I got it done. I used a regular sugar and cream type yarn and I also used a strand of this scrubby type yarn so this dish cloth is super thick feeling.
