The eyemasks are great! I especially love the fabric you used for the fabric fetish mask one. :slight_smile:

I do love that fabric. I was glad to have enough of it left to make a mask!

Project Name: Brioche
Project Link:
Brief Description: Dropping in to post the Battle and will have more soon! I had leftover egg yolks and tried to make brioche. I’m going with Foolish because I quickly realized I seriously under-kneaded the dough and my instant yeast was a bit of a dud. It fell apart into something like dinner rolls, but still tasted good - more like a biscuit. Whomp whomp.

I’m a sucker for dinner rolls, but I love biscuits too! I beg these were yummy @LovelyMiss!

@storerboughtcreation you have become this pattern maven! I especially like the fairy tale one. I’d love to see the completed versions of all of these!

Peach crumble sounds delicious @ezrib!

Project Link: Sublimation print shirts
Brief Description:
I can’t believe I’m picking serious, my kid says I’m never serious. But, this shirt took a lot of patient concentration, getting all those little lines traced. Also, I’m seriously happy with the result, and keep showing it to anyone I can :grin:
This is a sublimation print shirt that I made in a workshop at a sci-fi con earlier this month.

Now I will go back and look at all the other wonderful art here.

Project Name: Crocheted Yip Yips
Project Link: Crocheted Yip Yips - #20 by craftADDchick
Brief Description: I saw these on Repeat Crafter Me back when she originally posted them, and bought the googly eye rings immediately. But, I haven’t had much time to craft, so they sat in my bag. When I saw the ones @ezrib posted, it reminded me that I needed to make some! They are quick to make (I had to make 2, since one took under 30 minutes), and I had planned to make a bunch this weekend. But, I never transferred the package of googly eye rings from my school bag to my craft bag when I packed up for a mini craft weekend. I was already in another state when I realized! So, when I got home, I knocked out the green one. It’s a smidgen smaller because it’s made with Caron Simply Soft, instead of Red Heart Super Saver. So silly and fun!

Here’s the finished product of the blanket I’ve been making from the pattern @storerboughtcreation made up. Took forever thanks to my cat and his constant need for attention

Three of my testers finished over the weekend. Two others are still working on theirs, but I decided to release the pattern today. Here are the three finished blankets:

Kimberly’s Blanket

and the back of hers

Joke’s blanket:

And Susan’s blanket

The last two decided to do the blanket in tapestry mosaic. The first person did regular overlay mosaic. I love how all of them look

Oooh they are all awesome! I have to say the top one is my fave, though. :heart:
