@geekgirl You’re on a roll! I especially love the almost hidden textural elements in the palette and the bottom row of magnets
@gozer I have basically no drawing skills, so I’m totally in awe of the likeness you captured in those ATCs.
@Lynx I love the variegation you got in the twine and the way you incorporated the hummingbird. (Unrelated to your project, I also love your phrase “oatmeal cookie chasers.”)

Project Name: Pizza sauce
Project Link: Pizza sauce
Description - made pizza sauce in my quest to go garlic free. Chose the prompt “Verily, is that a Funnel Cloud?” because no matter how careful I am I always end up with red splatters all over my stove when I cook with tomato sauce.

I love these! Thanks for swapping them! I have to apologize to you, though, as I mis-named one. It’s rose- breasted, not rosy- throated grosbeak. Totally my mistake!! (Pretty sure I wrote it wrong on my posts, too!) The more we know, amiright?
Prompt: Quarantine – Verily, is that a funnel cloud? Team: Running with Scissors Project Name: Felt Black Cat Project Link:Dahlia the cat Brief Description: I love making these felt little creatures. This one is based on my real cat Dahlia. I didn’t realize that the black felt would absorb so much light. She’s still cute. I had to make up the pattern for her shoes and dress. Project Photo(s):
Prompt: May - Battle - Jedi Team: Project Name: pizzas Project Link: Brief Description: I made pizzas last week for dinner. My BIL (@QueenHobo’s husband) made the dough and put the pizza in and out of the oven for me (I’m afraid of the oven… I tend to burn myself), but I constructed each pizza. We got a round of mmmmmmm’s, some nommy’s from Grumpy Frog (the highest praise she gives), and in fact I never even got a pic or a slice of the pepperoni and olive pizza, which was devoured in about two minutes. So it was good, like Jedi.
I made a pepperoni and black olive, a four cheese with olives on half, a Hawaiian, a bbq chicken pizza, and my calzone. Mmmmmm Project Photo(s):

Prompt: R2D2 (May) Team: Running with Scissors Project Name: Sweet Potato Taco Pasta Project Link: N/A Brief Description: I made this for dinner the other night. It was useful for satisfying both my hunger and the vision I had for it. (Ideally, the sweet potato/corn/bean mix would have been a taco filling, but I didn’t have anything resembling a taco shell, so I settled for mixing it w/leftover pasta.) Project Photo(s):
