ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Each season this year, we’re having extra events to celebrate 10 years of nerdy crafting and our awesome community.

This season, we’re doing a Crafty Scavenger Hunt! You’ll receive a small physical reward if you complete the post during the current season. The Crafty Scavenger Hunt post is for the prize event only and will not earn any points. (If you use items you made this season, be sure to submit them for points!)

Crafty Scavenger Hunt

Let’s go exploring! Find 10 items the fit the following guidelines. Items must be something you made, but not necessarily this season. Find all of your images and submit them all in ONE POST in the thread. Submit the claim form after you’ve posted your finds!

  1. A project you made that makes you smile.
  2. A project that was the first time you used a particular skill.
  3. A project you made that you think is weird or cool.
  4. A project you made that makes you reflect on how much you’ve grown or developed as a crafter.
  5. A project you made that starts with the first letter of your name or username.
  6. A project that uses a skill/supply/tool you don’t use often, but may like to return to again at some point.
  7. A project you think was the most time-consuming.
  8. A project you made that you gifted or created for someone else.
  9. A project you made that you didn’t think you would finish.

Prompt: April Battle - Foolish
Team: Bits and Bobos
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 Name: Not so sudden hedgehog shirt
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!
