50 Projects, More or Less, 2024

This does not surprise me. I’m trying to get better with it, but I can do pretty much anything else instead of putting away laundry.

@irid3sc3nt , @AIMR both of those can also be linked to anxiety hand up here

Also our wedding photographer disappeared after our wedding, she popped up a while later - she had been sick and her husband had been busy looking after their toddler and no one had contacted the clients… not what I would do, but I guess when life gets you, sometimes it gets you good

Those are fun. It’d have to be certain records because my husband has a nice vinyl collection. I’d have to thrift it. Maybe one of the millions of copies of the same album by Herb Alpert.

That or find something that’s scratched up or played until it wears down the grooves.

This fabric is just perfect.

That’s fantastic fabric and looks like a really handy way to do a lot of kinds of pressing!

Nice! I have a couple wreaths that look like this only, you know, in a circle. I use the green one for St. Patrick’s Day… slowly adding more elements to it.

I made these socks for my youngest. I found the pattern on Ravelry. It’s called When Worlds Collide. The left sock is a view of the top to show off the lace pattern.

Hark! Project #4

Darling! Your work on these is just beautiful.

I have 2 more projects completed (bringing my total to 3).

First up is a flower hot pad. The pattern is a free pattern from Ravelry. I think I will just use it as a trivet because it’s so open I’ll burn myself if I use it to grab hot stuff.

Next up is some rudimentary embroidery. My puppy attacked my shirt while I was doing yoga, and left a hole. I don’t really like the shirt at all, but it is new from Christmas. So . . . I attempted to repair it with something pretty. If it still falls apart I’ll just try again until I figure out this style of repair for myself.

The embroidery mending is such a great idea, it looks so good!

Haven’t gotten a picture of project #5 yet (more doll dresses) but here’s a book for project #6. Quarto-Legal size and about 190 pages. Mostly new materials, which is unusual for me.
