I had a rare sun-day today! One of the cats was shouting at me on my lunch break so I put her harness on and gave her (and me) a short break in the sun.
In other news. Not much happening on the embellishment front. I found a useable pattern in one of my books and I spent one training session and a project meeting winding yarn. Nearly done with that part. Hopefully this yarn will work as intended, otherwise it’s back to stash shopping.
Spring flowers!
Ooh, the mention of spring flowers made me think of all the bright orange poppies that I recently saw popping up alongside the freeway. That is definitely one of my spring favorites! A bit of beauty along a drive is always a nice thing!
My mug rug is going well so far! Going to make some more progress tonight during some well deserved sewing machine time. 
I have my mug rug packaged up and almost ready to go. I just need to go to pirateship and print a postage label.
HEY EV-ERY-BODY! It’s time to vote in the Spring Is In The Air Challenge! Get on over there before the poll closes on March 27, 2023!
I started constructing the different elements for the embellisment. Thing 1 of at least four done. Might as well make it eight or twelve… We’ll see. The pattern appears to be working so far.
I made decent progress today. Ran it by a co-conspirator and got the thumbs up so hopefully that’s good! Brainstorming another component for another day…maybe tomorrow!
I am in the studio but it’s freezing in here, brrr! My fingers feel too cold to sew.
I look forward to the longer days in spring, and the blossoms on trees 
I hate when I feel too cold to be productive! I picked up an ‘XL Extra-Long Back & Neck Heating Pad’ for times when I feel chilly. I think l’ve worn it in the intended style once, now it just sits on the seat of my chair and I turn it on any time I want a little extra warmth. It’s helped me craft on nights when I normally would have declared it too chilly to work.
I tripped a breaker, space heater + computer + iron = oops!
80 degrees here…I might be done with mine by this afternoon… 
I am done! I kind of want to keep it, lol, even though I’m not into the same fandom. I hope it’s “phishy” enough!
I’m sure it will be great! He’s going to be so surprised, I can’t wait to see his face.
One down, one to go!
I’m nearly done, just finishing touches to do, whilst I wait for a last minute purchase to arrive!
Mine is packed and going into the mail tomorrow!
I’m done! Going to pack up and send tomorrow. I love these flat crafts that can go as lettermail.
Hey, what size did y’all go with? I read the description and was totally shocked at how large they can be. Before this I always just made them like an extra long coaster.
I put a mug and saucer plate on mine…a drink and a snack…so, I usually make mine about 12x8 or so. I try not to make them placemat size…more narrow and long . I think it depends on what you want to embellish with.
