I had planned on doing some machine embroidery while LittleBookLover was at school, but I sat down in front of the computer and next thing I knew, I was creating a project mockup. I still have a little time before picking him up, but now I’m thinking of working on this pennant flag and doing the embroidery (that I’ve been meaning to do for the past 3 days) another day.

ICAD happens June 1 to July 31 so a 61-day project. daisy yellow/Tammy Garcia used to host it as a thing on Flickr and Instagram but last year she stepped back and didn’t have a dedicated space for it. She still put out themes and prompts.

@Smmarrt That’s pretty much what I thought it was; I’ve been doing two backgrounds a day so I (theoretically) get pretty close by the end of the month assuming I don’t abandon it.

Speaking of, here’s 2/2.

Tiredness and a sore throat put a damper on my energy the last two days but I still managed to do something creative …

Feb 1st - looked through patterns and decided on my next loom project.

Feb 2 - worked on a Wonky Bird atc for myself.

Picked up 6 of these sweet napkins at a thrift store by our cottage last summer. They came in a bag, nice but not so useful.


That bag was a perfect size to cut & hem for 2 more napkins tho, yay!

You can’t even tell which one is the original.

I also fixed a torn seam in my coworker’s top but that’s not very interesting for anybody but her so no pics :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I have no idea how you went from scratched plastic to this, but these are stunning!

I’m still dogsitting and crocheting scrappy granny squares. I need 32 to add another round to an existing blanket so I won’t get bored this weekend!

I have been thwarted for days one and two, hopefully day 3 will make up for it. :crossed_fingers:

Everyone is doing great!

I can’t share a picture of what I’m actually working on so I’ll share a picture of my setup complete with water jar coaster made by @Kwality570 (I use it every time I paint!)

Everyone’s work is so inspiring! Does it count as making a thing a day when you make something one day, and then rip it out and re-do it the next?

Those trees :heart_eyes: you did a really good job with making them look “tree like” and not uniform. The black and white one is so moody, I love it.
