Thank you. 
@gozer - I really like the patchwork look you did for the coasters. I’m really partial to the ghost patchwork. And the ghosts and kitties are very cute.

@gozer, I love all the cute cat coasters; the scribble one is such a neat pattern! I really like the black ones too; I love the way you arranged the different patches. And your ghosts are so cute 
I also really like your bats; and those notebooks look so well put together! Did you stitch them by hand?
@bluebird those pumpking earrings 
So cute!!! And wow; that tree looks like it took a lot of work, but it’ll be so pretty on the tree, especially as it reflects light, as @storerboughtcreation said
@storerboughtcreation Ooooh, another reason to try to work towards returning to South Caroline at some point. I’ve only been to Charleston and nearby towns, but I loved it so much. Swings by the ocean, great food, and it looks like the perfect place for a nice writing retreat. Some day I’d like to come by with extra money and stay at a fancy hotel and eat at fancy restaurants, too lol! And then go skating, too! Funnily enough, I think roller blading would actually be great for me—the boots hold up my unstable ankles, and as long as I’ve got my knee trackers on, I shouldn’t have an issue. Because the knees have to constantly have a bend in them, I wouldn’t run the risk of hyperextending them backwards (at least I think)… I’ve been wanting to buy myself new inline skates forever… but alas, we have other priorities.
@Smeddley A cactus scratching post!!! That’s absolutely amazing (and adorable). And wow; the lady is beautiful! I love the eyes! I have such a hard time with drawing faces; this is an inspiraiton! The crocheted piggy bank!!! So cute!!! I love things that are adorable and functional, too! tee hee, the little ghost! so cute The pumpkins are adorable, too! And for a cake that had you really frustrated, this turned out pretty awesome!
Also @Smeddley re: Inktober, don’t feel too bad about falling behind… I basically did October 1-6 and then fell off the wagon completely. I’m seriously considering doing a mashup drawing of the rest of Inktober’s days for the heck of it 
Or using the prompts for inspiration for more ATCs. I love making ATCs. Thank you for your kind words!
@Bunny1kenobi I love your cross stitch!!! The tiny books are also really great!

I forgot to take a picture when they were fresh, so this was after a whole day of wearing them at work, lol. They held up okay!

Brief Description: I made these for the BINGO prizes last season. I still had the screen from some shirts I made back in 2018 (I think?) and pulled it out to print again. The tote material was a little more lumpy and thin that I expected, but it still worked out alright. I ended up with 8 okay ones out of 12 bags (various mishaps, like accidently flicking paint.)

Brief Description: I took another wheel pottery class and continued to grow my skills. I liked some of the glazing more this time, and some of my pots are a bit more round. I ended with six finished items. The one with the blue bottom has crushed glass in the glaze and it looks pretty cool (though is not food safe). My schedule means I won’t be able to take another class for quite a while and I’m worried I’m going to lose my meager skill! Hopefully it’s like riding a bike, lol.

Project Name: Care Bear Ears
Project Link: n/a
Brief Description: At school this year, my team decided to dress as Care Bears (Wearing sweats to school will always get a yes!). My coworker bought headbands to make ears, but she was just going to use pipe cleaners to make an “outline” of the ears. Well, that just wouldn’t do. So, I volunteered to make them. Most of them are felt, but the pink ones are fun foam, and the gray ones are fun foam that I colored with a gray Sharpie. Then, 2 people unexpectedly needed black ones, so I made those during morning homeroom using black construction paper. I couldn’t find any of my glue guns at home, so I had to get up extra early (5:30) to get to school before 7 (I have a 30 minute drive and I had to beat the parent drop off line) so I could use the glue gun in my desk.

@megwell, that mysterious man cracks me up as well, lol! I like the “masterboard flavoured” candy, and I think the running lips are funny, too. And that junk journal is just I love seeing how everyone has bound theirs; so neat! And I like how you altered the cards to provide some writing space, too. And that’s too bad the post ate your first greeting card, but this second one is beautiful!
@Bunny1kenobi what a beautiful ATC (I also read your community post), and a beautiful, loving story to go along with it. It’s so wonderful to have some art to remember that special moment. I also love your ghost robe; that’s really well made!
@craftADDchick Care Bears! So cute I grew up with them, not on TV but as toys, I remember having at least 2 stuffies. I love your dedication to help your team look its best
@LovelyMiss Your felted wool ball trivets are so pretty and colourful! Ad wow; you did a great job with the fabric marker on those socks; they look like they came that way from the store! What cute gnomes, too I think I missed a post about your gift buffet and I’m very intrigued—could you share the link where you explain it? The pottery is just gorgeous; I would love to learn some day, too. Have you done both wheel and hand thrown? If so, which one do you like best?
