Ahh, so beautiful! To know that space is there, waiting quietly by itself, with a fabric stash, no less. Your grandma keeps loving, helping and sharing through what she left!

For all of you working on making masks, thereās a new LC Challengeā¦
Since the challenge is in the Craftalongs board, I am allowing people to enter masks that they may have previously posted here on LC. I am accepting items made from March 1, 2020, onward.

You know what would be cool to see?
In NY, at least, people are putting rainbows in their windows to bring smiles to peopleās faces when they see them.
I am finishing up a crocheted rainbow item to hang on the front door, and another rainbow yarn project to hang from our upstairs window.
I would love to see if other people are doing the rainbow thing as well, and how they have done it: i.e.-paint, yarn, sewn, etcā¦
(I also heard something about teddy bears but I havenāt seen any of those.)

This sounds fun! Iāve already completed so many projects that I thought would never get finished lol! I tend to craft when stressed or boredā¦ So far Iāve started by watching Blueprint (previously Craftsy) classes (they are free right now, till the 16th!) and checked out a crochet e-book from my library ā¦ there are so many ways to crochet that I missed! āpaintedā crochet (crocheting with 3+ sewing threads and gradually changing colors), woven crochet (double crochet a filet crochet like blanket, then weave in longe threads through the work), and some others that I forget off the top of my head. Still not finished with my summer dress or quilt, but thatās the goal!

My mom and my daughter made signs to hang (I helped a bit).
One says āit will be alrightā (not exact translation, itās a saying in Hebrew).
The other says happy holiday, since it is now Passover.

Here (Belgium) they do the bear hunt, many stores and people with street facing houses have them, to make it fun for kids to go on walks with their parents.
A bit on an late March update.
I did two things, that I will both do again in the future
Actually make videoās for the diy youtube channel I want to start
It is a secret storage/token holder from magic the gathering cards.
Do something with those mini embroidery hoops
I made it a little too big, the tiny hoop could not take the extra width. Really love the challenge of working small
Now I have to focus on my study some more, I am a bit behind with all the distractions going on

My daughter is 25 and Iām lucky that she is gone with us through all this.
Weāre donāt practice any religion, so for us Easter is chocolate. To make it different, (I think we need difference in the monotony of lockdown) I am going to do an Easter egg treasure hunt for her. Iāve about 25 small eggs, but Iām not really sure how to start with clues. Anyone got any ideas or resources for generating treasure hunt clues?

When I did it for my 2 I just hid them around the garden, and let them look.

Our auntie does the best thing with eggs printed on paper which she colours on one side and writers clue on the other. Things like āYour next clue is in the place where the things are kept that dry you offā (bath towels) etc. The kids all love it, even teenmanboy!

Oohh I like that idea.

Edel, you could do 5-10 with clues, where you make it difficult to find them. But then do the rest without clues, in easier to find locations. I did an egg hunt for my college kids a few years ago. I hid one color for each of my students, and the kids found all but ONE! We found the missing egg a full year later, totally by accident.

I finished one of my rainbow projects last night. Iāll see if I can post a pic of it.
I did a crochet rainbow for my window too!
Iāve also heard to put Easter eggs in your window for kids to search for on Sunday
