Project Name: TARDIS Biscornu
Brief Description: SBC taught me how to make a biscornu and it took me FOREVER to finish stitching this thing! Those of you who know me from craftster may remember I have two children, and Grumpy Frog is going to be 2 in May, she is ahead of schedule on her TERRIBLE twos which makes all my crafting go much slower! It fits this battle cause… its a phone box…

Brief Description: I made this biscornu for the One Tiny Thing swap. After stalking @lifeinpigtails Pinterest boards, I decided to make her this. 
Including stalking… er, research time, stitching, designing the back panel, and finishing, this took me about 25 hours to complete.

Project Name: Pants fix
Project Link: -0-
Brief Description: We found these pants for the ultra-picky Toad and he loved them- EXCEPT for the weird ruching from knee to ankle. Because my kid is long and skinny, it’s hard to find pants that fit around his waist and hips and don’t end mid-calf on him. So, finding a long enough pair that he actually would wear is a rarity! So I ripped out the elastic along the side seams and removed the cuffs, then cut about 4 inches off the bottom (all that ruching! Bizarre…) and sewed the cuffs back on. He’s over the moon for these pants now!
Though I prefer a phone call, I am going with Text. Texts tend to be shorter. I shortened the pants.
Oh, and about halfway through ripping off the elastic, I realized I should have taken a “before” photo.

My son has been hoarding real estate with my computer while he’s using it for school, so I haven’t had the opportunity to look through and see all the cool prompts fulfilled yet.
I finally was able to figure out most my prompts for April. I’m waiting for a couple swap packages to be posted before I can post a few of them, but I’m going to get this part started and then come back later and finally look and comment. I’m too sleepy to enjoy that part right now.
I think I’ll just stay with team Bits and Bobs this time, too.

Project Name: Floral Arrangement 2.0
Project Link: n/a
Brief Description: For some reason, I have been itching to play around with floral arranging. I always see the bunches of flowers at the supermarket as I walk in, but never remember to grab them before I hit the checkout. So, when I received an email about a small flower business that was struggling to figure out how to survive through the state shutdown, I decided to order myself a bouquet. It arrived two weeks ago, and today, I finally decided that the roses and lilies had had it. So, I salvaged what I could (sadly, the ranunculus fell apart as I moved them), cut the hyacinths from my yard, and played around with a new “arrangement.” I definitely dont have a future as a floral designer, but it was very relaxing to play around with the flowers, and I spent almost 45 minutes putting it together. I think it could fit the prompt because Instagram is loaded with photos of flowers, and some of the flowers are pink!

Brief Description: my first attempt at a mask
This fits the Twitter prompt because I made the ‘small’ sized mask and the main colour is light blue.
Ha, just realised, his t-shirt matches perfectly- same colour and a shark!

Project Name: Paper Chain from Scrap Paper
Brief Description: I had 1 1/2 by 12 inch scraps from making notecards. I just don’t have space to keep all scraps, but before they went in our burn pile, I had an idea! I’ll just link them together and have a little more color in a corner of the living room. (I’m sure my family will “love” this.) Paper chains are a special memory with my grandma who I only saw a few times in my life (we once made a chain that was probably up to a few tenths of a mile, maybe up to a quarter), and a recent experiment my son’s science teacher sent home (who can make the longest chain with only one piece of printer paper.)

Project Name: Yet Another Masterboard
Project Link: Challenge chain, post your completed challenges here, and chat about the challenges
Brief Description: And, here’s my masterboard from the Challenge Chain- I had the challenge of Books. I used a random page from Around the House With Heloise (I have no idea where it came from), and used it in the background, along with some B & W scrapbook paper, some gray pieces from a tissue paper wrapper, and some chevron washi tape. Then, I went over it with some metallic silver paint. I dipped a kitchen scrubber in black and dabbed it all over, then used some white fabric paint to layer a flower stencil over that. It still didn’f feel finished, so this morning, I separated some strands of silver metallic floss and glued the pieces down. It counts for the Battle because the book page has text on it.
