Prompt:Aug – Shark Attack Team: Running with Scissors Project Name: More masks for a coworker Project Link: -0- Brief Description: I made a couple masks for a co-worker and he asked for a couple more so he didn’t have to wash the three he had so often. Has anyone else been asked to make masks and then have the person tell you something about their wife or mom or someone else close to them sewing? Happens to me ALL the time. Grrr. Anyways, masks are useful everywhere now. Project Photo(s):

Prompt: Big Time #1 Team: Running with Scissors Project Name: Halloween towels Project Link: Brief Description: My DIL requested these towels a couple of months ago. It took me a while to get them done…a bit longer than expected, even, since my silhouette machine decided to go on strike midway through cutting all my stencils!
