I got a special feature in the fiber and textile category. It was so much fun to fill out the questionnaire. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Congratulations! You are a crochet and cross stitch rock star!

Okay, I donā€™t know if I technically have the right to ask this, but I know many people have been impacted by Hurricane Ian. Is it possible to get a weekend extension on this round?

I wasnā€™t directly impacted, but my mom in FL was, and Iā€™ve been a bit stressed by that because I hadnā€™t heard from her, and now that I finally have (sheā€™s okayā€¦ floodwaters encroached upon the house, but she had about 10 feet to spare, and the tree that fell, fell away from her house), I am communication central for family & friends.

We can keep the season open until 11:59pm Central time Sunday evening.

Thank you! That is a relief!

And, I hope that you and everyone else in the path of the storm are safe- I saw that tornados are also a concern with this storm, so itā€™s extra scary. I was watching a video that had the noise of the wind in the background, and I started to get the shakes so I had to shut it off. I canā€™t imagine how terrifying this storm was for everyone going through it.

We had a lot of wind yesterday and today. The rain started earlier this afternoon. Itā€™s supposed to get heavier a little later. But mostly it isnā€™t too bad in the inland upstate SC.

Sorry I was so late! The beginning of October is tough on me, itā€™s my 3 5Ks weekend, and with everything going on the prompts justā€¦ yeah, I forgot. But they are up now! Spoop on, fellow nerds! (that will make sense when you see the promptsā€¦)

Have you done the 5 Ks already? Or are you training?

Did them this weekend, two yesterday at 9am and 4pm, and one this morning at 8am. I didnā€™t do very well this year, but I didnā€™t prepare much. Next year! :smiley:

I love the prompts for the new season! And, the advent prompts are always so fun! I refuse to say that Iā€™m going to complete ALL the prompts, because lately, if I say that, I just canā€™t seem to manage it.

I do have plans for a solo craft weekend during the approaching long weekend, so Iā€™m hoping to get a bunch of things made. Hopefully, Iā€™ll be able to use most of them in upcoming prompts!

I made something before the prompts came out and unfortunately it fits. Itā€™s a craft that didnā€™t work out. LOL

Has anyone guessed whodunnit yet? Iā€™m still waiting for my final clues before I put in an official guess because the ever generous @Smeddley asked if I was REALLY SURE I wanted to put in my initial guess with a grimace emoji and told me I made a good choice when I decided to wait for my clues :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :rofl:
