I’m binding a quilt right now! We can be binding buddies!

I’ll have to get my butt in gear, then. I still have to quilt this thing! 
I did make my binding already, though. I’m really hoping to get started tomorrow, but, we’ll see. I have felt almost frozen for the past few days. Once I get started, I’m usually okay, but getting started is hard.

For now, still going to work (I don’t really have a work-from-home kind of job), but that could change any day now. And then the need to craft full-time will kick in. Well, almost full-time - there’s years of reading to catch up on!

We’re a pair of mountain hermits up here, so our life will likely not change too much. I am used to popping down to a food seller of some sort a couple times/week, so that might change a bit. What might open up more extra crafting time is two sets of planned houseguests might not visit.
I’d like to:
Do a spring bottle brush tree decoration. 
Make a jackalope! 
Finish up some xmas bottle brush tree decorations for an Xmas in July thing. 
Finish up a tee shirt quilt project for a friend. 
Mount 6 frames worth of the foreign toothpaste collection.

posted the photo to my insta this morning. I made it 'cause I was annoyed I didn’t have a decent container for these crayon/pencils:
Also made a repeating pattern for Halloween of bones and skulls 
cause I apparently have a super morbid sense of humor…
And I did this too: ATC Personal Challenge - corona virus work from days

There’s plenty of Corona beer close to the empty toilet paper shelves here! 
I’m up for the challenge and look forward to making some things over the next few weeks. Thanks for the inspiration!

My husband and son got their essentials - magic cards and the like. They asked what I was going to get and I’m “uh, my craft closet is packed - I’m all set.”
Today - painters palette earrings

The pencil cup is pretty! I think I may have that paper… Is it from a book of Asian-inspired scrapbook paper?

Hahaha! My son also ordered some Magic cards. Love your artiste earrings!

Today I made six of these little wallets. I usually hate carrying a purse and just grab my ID and some cash.
And then I experimented with some theatre scraps and some key fob hardward6 and made these.
And then I caught up on my daily quilt blocks.
And decided that this would be a great time to actually take the three monstrous tubs of fabric scrap and iron and organise and actually trim to a uniform sizes. And I realise that I will need to be socially isolated for eleventy million years to get thru all the scrap.

I mean magic cards are pretty important!
Love the earrings!

I managed 2 rows in my shawl after dinner last night. If dinner hadn’t had such a rocky cooking process, I would have been able to do 3, but oh well.

I love these. I haven’t quite mastered using this forum so forgive me if this is a duplicate comment.

Your shawl is so lovely! I will look into that pattern…It looks similar to the Mimosa shawl that I am doing but the solid breaks make this much more appealing to me…
I’m definitely going to be crafting-along! But, I’m not committing to a specific list. But, in general, I’ll be tackling some of my many WIPs, working on prompts for the Nerd Games, trying out something for the Paper & Mixed Media Craftalong, and tackling the continuation of my rubber stamp organizing project.
I am currently making some progress on my Granny Rectangle afghan. While I’m missing one of the colors that I started with (I probably pulled it out of the bag to use in another project… and I haven’t located it), it’s not worth venturing out for.
In non-craft things, I also need to work on digging myself out from a mountain of grading for school and cleaning/organizing my house. I made a dent in the latter yesterday. And, hopefully, now that I’m home, I’ll be able to keep things organized (I have the tendency to put things down for “later” and then I don’t pick them up again).
And, for everyone who is feeling the huge amount of stress that comes with a mandated stretch of not working, I hope that there will be some sort of plan put in place to help ease that strain. In the meantime, virtual hugs to you all!

I made my curried lentil and veggie stew as I planned. Yum!
I also made a small crocheted basket, about 5" in diameter, from t-shirt thread. I needed somewhere to throw odds and ends from my pockets at the end of the work day.

I started embroidering the different chakra signs. I got the root one done. I need to take a picture of it.

I’m in. It’s all I have right now, the making. (Like I still have family and all that, but I’m sure you all understand what I mean)
My goals:
Batts… many many batts until I run out of fibre (That’s gonna be a while)
Felted foam chunks… This’ll be a learning thing. I did something insane and bought a rediculous bag of foam off cuts that I plan on covering in felt)
Spin all the yarn
Keep stitching my series of Boreal Forest inspired landscapes.
Deep breaths folks. Love and light. Thanks for being a place I can come to feel safe.
