Project Link: Crochet Pocket Shawl
Brief Description: I’m still crocheting everyday! I finished this pocket shawl. Despite my newbie troubles, I think it still turned out really cute. First time using several new stitches, and sewing on pockets, and actually reading a pattern. I think it was probably around 30 hours, but I wasn’t really keep track after the first 20. 
There’s a little more info in the link.

Welcome back, @appledainty! As always, your jewelry is gorgeous. This is all resin work and silk?
I am impressed with your shawl, @LovelyMiss! What gorgeous work. Making clothing garments can be hard to do since gauge is important. You did amazing!

Brief Description: I wanted to work on customizing some dolls but the clothes were boring. I realized I needed some patterns. I decided to design my own. It was harder than I thought! It took me several hours to make these. I need to remake the center one as it didn’t turn out the way I wanted, but I needed a break. I can draw by hand but on the computer is frustrating!

Brief Description: I wanted to create a new obidome for an art show/convention I attended and had some art pieces in. I’ve always been a fan of the butterfly motif, and I’d never made one a big tsumami zaiku butterfly before. Most of my insects have resin wings instead.

Project Name: Churros x2
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: I wanted to try making churros, as they’re probably my favorite dessert. The first batch was a total fail. The oil was too hot, and while they looked good on the outside, they were very raw. I covered them in all of the cinnamon and sugar for more fail. 
I was determined, and tried another batch the next day. They turned out great!
