@appledainty, I really love your style! You must have a lot of patience to make all of those tiny components! How big is each fish?

@megwell, I never thought to alter a coloring book page, but I love how yours came out! Such a fun image!

@storerboughtcreation, another beautiful biscornu! I love everything about this one, right down to the red heart button- the perfect finishing touch! I hope that your finger is healing well!

I’m getting a late start joining this season, but here are a few little things I’ve managed to make so far!

Prompt: July - Clover
Team: Running with Scissors
Project Name: Red Crocheted Hangers
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description:
This set is made up of THREE hangers because that’s how many this skein of pretty red mottled yarn happened to make. This is a relaxing thing to do with my hands when I’m watching TV or video chatting with friends. Also, I’m not sure how we’re doing the bingo, but I’ve picked Card #9 (completely at random), and am using this for the “Metal” square, because I sewed the crocheted part around metal hangers.
