I hope I’m doing this right, August has sapped out my motivation and most of my brain power. Hopefully a new month will help reset it.
Prompt: August - Bridge - Marta - Battle
Team: Berserker Barbarian
Project Name: Chinese fast food style beef

Brief Description:
I first tried this recipe a couple months ago, and it has since been a hit in our house and made a few appearances all summer long. I found it on a popular Israeli food blog, she has a lot of really good simple recipes.
Here’s the recipe link, run through Google translate (it did an ok job on the translation):
https://nikib-co-il.translate.goog/main-course/129803/?_x_tr_sl=iw&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
I made some variations based on what I had in my kitchen and the cooking time was longer for me than what is written in the recipe. The original recipe uses red bell peppers, and those are nice and a good way of using peppers that are no longer nice enough for a salad. But I’ve also made it a few times with mushrooms, and that’s yummy too.
Of course, talking with Marta, who is a cook, I had to share some food.

Prompt: August Battle: (Ambrose) - Forest/Wendy the Human Fighter Seamstress
Team: Team Berserker Barbarian
Project Name: Lion Blood Drop
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: My new coworkers are keeping me busy requesting blood drops! Which is nice, but wow are some of them more work than others… this one isn’t hard, exactly, but the mane is troublesome if you’re not willing to cut the yarn too long to make it easy to pull through the blood drop stitches (which of course I’m not, I don’t want to waste yarn!).
Simba lived in the forest, and in the end he was quite the fighter, so… Forest and Fighter it is!

Project Name: Craft Hat (Fail)
Project Link: n/a
Brief Description: I had planned an activity today where my students would look at my (unexpectedly large) collection of hats (baseball and bucket hats… I left my extra fun hats at home) and try to figure out one fact about me. I realized that my hat collection didn’t have anything to represent my craft-loving side, so I decided to make one. Unfortunately, it came out awful. For some reason, bits of flocking and adhesive stuck onto the hat from the area that I weeded. And, parts of the design just wouldn’t stick. I’ve had this flocked HTV for a while, so I’m wondering if that contributed to the lack of success. In any case, I couldn’t use it for my activity, but at least now I have a year to make another one! And, I used a design with scissors because a seamstress just can’t live without scissors!

Okay, so I lied about it being tomorrow, I was thinking I was going to have to write 12 sets of prompts, and wasn’t done organizing them, but then I realized that I was WAY overdoing it and you (hopefully) wouldn’t mind it being a little simpler? There really wasn’t a great way to organize the prompts to not make it as confusing, sorry, I didn’t think this all the way through! But I hope you enjoy, August clues will be out soon! I will do my best to give everyone a shot at figuring out the culprit, so long as you turn in enough projects to get enough clues!

FYI FOR EVERYONE!
If you are unsure which two people you can craft for, I have put up your choices on your tracking sheet. If you haven’t posted a September project yet, I can help you figure out who you can craft for once you do.
