@bunny1kenobi - Your jack-a-lope is absolutely adorable. I love its little face and chubby body. The background is nice too. Pretty colors. I like the masterboards! I can’t wait to see where they pop up in your work. I think I like the top one best. I like the colors and the pink with the hearts on it.
@storerboughtcreation – Those potatoes are making me drool. Being in quarantine, I am saving all the good food for later on. These are making me question that logic.
@geekgirl – Very cool backgrounds. They remind me of awesome street graffiti in NY. Great sayings too. “It probably could get worse” is my favorite and made me laugh. I tell my sister that whenever she is complaining about being stuck inside.
I’m claiming this as a craft. It took all of my transferable skills (which in this particular area was zero), and infinite patience, to get this finished. If it’s not allowed, fair enough, just let me know
Prompt: April Battle - phone call Team: B n B Project Name: Child Transformation Project LinkPost here Brief Description: DS2 wanted his hair cut. I’m used to trimming dogs (just at home, with scissors, nothing fancy), or using clippers on people, but no clippers here since years. It would have been a lot quicker (a zap) and a lot easier if he had sat still. Him sitting still is unheard of, so why should he start when having his hair cut?
Phone call because we were talking while I was cutting (even if it was along the lines of “sit still”, “don’t move!”, “why did you move my head?” …etc ) Project Photo

Prompt: April Battle - Phone Call Team: Running with Scissors Project Name: First Three Masks Project Link:First Three Masks Brief Description: I called around to a few different local hospitals and clinics to see who is accepting handmade masks. Some places aren’t, but many others are, to be used when helping patients who do NOT have Covid-19, so that the more heavy-duty ones can be saved for the Covid wards. My parents and I have started making masks, and here are our first three. Project Photo(s):
I can’t eat walnuts, but this still makes me wanna make brownies! I may just have to do that today!
Also, omg, I love Owlbert!! He’s SO cute with his bright eyebrows, mismatched eyes, dapper cape, and gorgeous mottled fur! Gah!
I just left the taco pie post open in another tab to look at later; I am literally drooling right now.
Your bird ATCs are beautiful! I am getting really excited for the rest of the swaps to pick up again, so I can join my first ATC swap!
I really really like your journal pages! Your teacher was right; the white in the middle works really well!
This piece is so impressive! Her face is really expressive, and the yellow shape makes the whole thing really pop!
Wow. I just made a banana cake with cream cheese frosting last month that I thought was pretty darn delicious, but I never thought of adding peanut butter to the mix! That’s genius!
This looks gorgeous!! After trying kumihimo for the first time last year, I’m hoping to do some more in the future. It’s great to see real evidence that it can look just as pretty with that style of tool!
Awww, it’s so cute and chubby!! Darling baby cryptid.
I like the masterboards a lot. Once I finish the swaps I’m currently in, I think I’ll try a similar technique.
Argh, you guys are all making me way too hungry!!! These look scrumptious.
Hahaha, hey, it used scissors and created something (a new look!) that wasn’t there before, so well done! XD Your kiddo looks adorable too!

project name- Plague Doctor w/TP & Bunny Ear Accessories
project link- Crochet Plague Doctor w/Accessories
Description- Over the phone, I asked my son if he needed a shopping mask, he told me he wanted a plague doctor mask. I made him a plague doctor for Easter with removable ears & hat & a couple of spare rolls of tp as well. (he got a Mario mask, see below)
Prompt: April- Facebook
Team: knotty by nature
Project Name Mario Mask
Description Made a face mask for one of my adult sons. He’s “essential” and has to be out and about far more than my husband and I. It has a pocket in the back to put an extra filter and a spot on top for a removable nose wire. He didn’t want the “ear saver” but I have a feeling he will in the future.
Prompt: April- Free Range
Team: knotty by nature
Project Name Yellow Facemask
Description - My other son’s girlfriend is also “essential” so I made her a mask as well. Again it has the extra filter spot and removable nose wire. She already has ear savers that I made her.

@roler – The Kirby hoop is so bright and fun! I love the design. It’s so clean and perfectly executed. Your masks are great and it’s awesome that you are helping out.
@appledainty – I love that you made something so different than what we normally see in the Games, or on this site for that matter. I don’t think I have ever seen another Pillbox hat made. You did a phenomenal job. Love the dragonfly too. The whole piece is gorgeous.
@ezrib – Eeps! I love me some Plague Doctors! Yours is so fun! Love the big eyes and the bunny ears. The toilet paper rolls crack me up! Nice of you to make the masks for your family. I like the fabric prints.
@bunny1kenobi – Love the fabric and style of your masks. I like that they sunflower ones match the elastic bands. I think your kiddo’s masks are fun. I like the American flag one a lot. The Punisher one is cool. I love the sayings and humor.
