This is absolutely beautiful. Pillbox hats are so underappreciated. I would love to see a tutorial on how you did that flower!

Thank you! The stars and moon have some metallic watercolor on them so they are shiny and reflective.

Brief Description: I originally made this to be a sort of pillowy ornament, similar to a biscornu. It didn’t work out as planned, however, so I turned it into a patch. @QueenHobo has claimed it, and is planning to add it to a jean jacket she has. I’ll try again soon. This has blue in it.

Awesome! I was an Air Force brat, so I lived in several places. The Seahawks have always been my dad’s team. I lived in the Fairbanks area twice. For three years on Eielson AFB as a kid, and in Fairbanks for a year in 2008.

After getting myself on track, I have fallen behind again!
@appledainty, what a clever way to use the lilies on the headband, and the butterflies are beautiful! I also love the clutch purse! I never think to make one, but I never have one when I need one for something like a wedding. Tucking that idea into my brain. The obidome is stunning (actually, both of them are!) and I love the combination of materials. The resin technique for your butterfly wings is gorgeous! Your kanzashi set is so lovely- I was a bit put off by how trendy they were a little bit ago, but after seeing yours, I might have to give them a try. Also, your dragonfly brooch is just wow! The eyes are just the perfect touch! And, I’ve been following the progress of your Ho-Ou fascinator, so it’s nice to see the final product- as expected, it’s amazing.
@gozer, your felt stuffies are just great, and I’m impressed that they’re your first one! And, your mushroom drawing is gorgeous- the yellow and gray combo again- so totally works! And, again, I love the fabrics you use for your masks. And, it was nice of you too break form and use a solid grey for the guys Your “The Child” ATCs are amazing- I was behind the curve in watching the series, but once I did, I understood why so many were in love with him!
@GMPNQ, once I get myself back home and settled, I would consider a trade for a penguin imprint or two! It’ll be at least a month, though. Thanks for thinking of me!
@megwell, I think I commented over in the Blitz #4 thread, but I like your metallic/masterboard ATCs. And, with an abundance of cake mixes at home, I have a feeling I’ll be checking out your cake mix muffins. And, I don’t think I commented on the Blitz #5 thread, but you were very clever in your incorporation of lyrics from the song “Under the Sea” as your overall theme!
@storerboughtcreation, your Tortoro biscornu is a.ma.zing!! I don’t think I ever saw the movie. but it’s a character that always brings a smile to my face whenever I see a crafty representation. Same with Hello Kitty! So cute, and the coordinating button is the perfect touch! And, while I’m not a Seahawks fan, I love how you incorporated the logo with the skyline and the state outline. It’s just fantastic. When you do get it to work for a biscornu, I’m sure it’ll be fabulous.
@QueenHobo, your Bartleby cat is so cute- I love the large, cartoon eyes! And, how sweet of you to make a unicorn buddy for your newphew’s unicorn! It’s so great when you have the skills to fulfill a special request. But, chocolate coffee cardamom cake? Sounds (and looks) delicious! It’s not a combination I would have thought to try.
@roler, nice job on the surgical masks! I haven’t made the pleated versions because the pleats seemed too fussy, but yours look nice and even! I love the fabrics you used on the other style. When I get home, I’ll be digging into my stash to find some fun ones. I have a feeling masks will be necessary for a while. And, I “heart” the sheep brooch! When I was in middle school, my very curly hair earned me the somewhat dubious nickname “sheephead” so I developed a fondness for them. You did a great job on the big toe drawing. Fingers and toes are not easy to draw, but you did a very accurate representation! Cabbage soup and cabbage pie? I’m not a huge fan of cabbage, but they both look delicious, as does your quiche. Right before I had to travel to FL for a family emergency, I made a fritatta that I never even got to try because I had to pop it into the freezer (I had a marathon cooking session to use up as much of the food in my fridge as I could). And rice pudding… I’m craving it right now, and love the idea of putting it in a parfait!
@kwyltaholic, I love wreaths with a bit of interest, and the natural theme of this one just checks all of the boxes for me. It’s beautiful! Welcom aboard, too!
@Bunny1kenobi, great job on the curtains! I could use something like that in my house. My neighbors have a SUPER bright motion sensor light in their driveway, and a lined curtain would most definitely help to block that out. And, I really do love your mermaid ATCs. It was a great theme to carry through all of your Blitz cards! And, wrapping your charging cord is a great way to extend the life of it, while making it pretty at the same time! Your monster greeting cards are so fun. I love how the monsters pop against the backgrounds, and they’re just so cute! But not as cute as your “wee one” in her newest little headband! I swear that pictures of my friends’ kids and pets are helping me through this social isolation. And, I forgot to mention that “Chewbarka” is also a favorite.
@Mortuum, welcome to the games! A cross stitched rat is a good way to commemorate the sighting of the wild rat, yet use it for your pet ones! I love your crocheted crab, too! The eyestalks are the perfect touch!
@Tanath, I love how fun your curly hair thingies are! We have crazy hat and hair day at school at least once a year, and I think I need some of those to clip in. Or, maybe I’ll make a hat with them all over it!
@BatsAndBrownies, your Textually Active is fantastic! And, so appropriate for your jobs both past and present!
@bluebird, great set of potion bottle ATCs. I’m always impressed when people can convey the look of glass so well! I love the softness of your moon and stars card, too.
@Smeddley, great mask, and it’s a fun way to photograph it! It’s funny, though, that just knowing your frog is called Mr. Creepy Frog automatically makes me detect a sinister look to his eyes!
@geekgirl, I love the fabrics that you used on your cloth napkins and how well they coordinate. It’s great to have different fabrics so everyone knows which one is theirs. I really like the stitch pattern on your towel.I’m heading over to the post to check it out more!
@Lynx, I loveyour pocket letter set- the black borders really make them pop, and I love the quote that you used. And, another excellent use for your fabric twine! I like how the color changes as you go up the jar. And, I love cinnamon rolls, but I never make them because I would eat them all in one day! But now, my mouth is watering…
