Brief Description: Every month, a group of us come up with goals (though I think we may be going from a trio to a pair…) and I make little goal sheets for us to check off and keep us motivated… I say these are “reproductions” because the art on them are pieces of clipart I look up and try to recreate!

Project Name: Crochet Coozie (Frisbee)
Project Link: (coming as soon as I have internet access on my computer)
Brief Description: This is a (poor) reproduction of the free Lion Brand pattern (L0577) for a crocheted frisbee (they call it a Coozie). While I changed the yarn, and messed up somewhere along the way so the design is a bit wonky, it’s still an attempt at reproducing the pattern.

Prompt: August Battle -Vacuum-

Project Name: Blue Snowflake Sugar Cookie
Brief Description: I started making little felted ornaments and SBC came up with the idea of making sugar cookies. I’m using this cookie for the battle and chose vacuum because I had to repeatedly move and adjust the lines, which really sucked

Project Name: Beryl’s Pot
Brief Description: As you’ve all seen, SBC has been making the cutest little monsters to protect people from monsters under their beds. I’m also sure you’ve already seen Beryl, but I was asked to make the pot for her. This thing is HARD. I could probably knock one of my kids out with this thing if I swung hard enough.

Brief Description: I began this project intending on making a reindeer. However, I was in a bad mood and all I could see was a potato. When I complained to SBC about it, she suggested I just go with it and make a potato, so I did and gave it a festive little Santa hat. I am stretching this because it is not a real potato, but you typically use potatoes in the kitchen.

Hey there! I’ve finally found some time in my crazy summer to jump in! 
I haven’t done a ton of crafting, but I do a question. Does cooking & baking count as crafting? Because I do a ton of that! I love cooking and baking! Well, anyway, I’m going to join team Sherlock! To start, here is my Anniversary Post/Retrospective
I joined craftster in, I think, 2011. I’ve done just a TON of swaps and crafting for my lovely crafting friends! Though, my crafting time went down after having kiddos. My first was born in 2013, and she is about to turn 10 this year! So, bittersweet 10 years of crafting for me!
In no particular order, here are 10 of my most favorite projects I’ve ever made:
After my first was born, I got REALLY into painting shoes for toddlers. Pretty much just her birth month friends that I was in a group on Facebook with. I painted just an insane amount of shoes. It helped keep my sanity.
I made this outfit for my niece, for her first birthday outfit.
I made all these little peg people for my nephew. There were many many more.
I made these mermaid outfits for my girls for Halloween.
I made a teapot!!! I absolutely adore pottery, and try to join classes when I can!
I cross-stitch quite a bit, though I’m terrible at finishing projects. 
Once a year I pretend to be a professional baker and make a dessert for auction at a big fund raiser dinner! I do love baking, though.
A cake I made for my sister for her 30th birthday. Also, the picture. I’m a photographer! I made the cake to go with a photoshoot I did with her for her birthday.
My oldest chose to be “fox in socks” for her Dr. Seuss dress-up day. So I made her ears, tail, socks & mittens. It was also, unbeknownst to everyone, the last day of in-person school for her when she was in kindergarten, thanks to covid. No one knew that they weren’t coming back to school that year when they left. Went out with a bang!

Brief Description: I love making pies, and this pie is one of my favorites. It fits with the realism because it is very true to life and would be excellent to eat everyday, though I probably shouldn’t. Actually, this is probably the best blackberry pie I’ve ever made! It turned out just perfect and it was absolutely delicious! I made this at the beginning of July for my D&D friends who traveled across the US to visit! Here is the recipe I used for the filling and baking times:
And this is the pie crust recipe I ALWAYS use:

Brief Description: I think its funny that this circular paella fits into the cubism prompt, but it does have many elements! I just started making paella a couple months ago, and had my FIRST paella in March. They are so delicious! This one has chicken, shrimp, and muscles! Its actually not as hard as I thought it would be to make, either! This is such an adaptable recipe, too. You can really add what you like!

Brief Description: I made these mini pumpkin scones Monday night for a tea party we had with my sister, niece (age 3), and my girls. They smelled SOOO good when they were baking! They have a delicious maple glaze. I recently started making scones, my first batch was blueberry lemon scones, earlier this summer. I’m definitely hooked! There is only one little scone left, and my husband and I will have to fight over it. I’m planning on making some savory scones this weekend.

Brief Description: I made these bats using my embroidery machine. I learned that a magnetic hoop is a bad choice when stitching a project with such dense stitching. The stabilizer shifted over the course of the stitch out and some of the bats didn’t come out right. I’ll be using two of these bats to complete another project.
