Good grief, I must be getting old. I think I need to invest in a magnifier, because I was going cross eyed on this one. This is for @QueenHobo Project Photo(s):

Prompt:Battle Royale - February - Squirrels Team:Bits and Bobs Project Name:Cub Scouts Core Badges Project Link:n/a Brief Description: *The wonderful situation of having both Twins in the Scout Organisation. They have just been invested in the Cub Scouts before Christmas, and I didn’t feel up for sewing on two sets of 5 (!!!) core badges onto their new jumpers… But I knew I had to do it, and so tonight it was … while waiting for the Super Bowl LIV to start.
You probably think “why squirrels?” Well, last year at our Leaders (yup, I’m a Beaver leader) we got the news that a new age group would be added to the Scouting Movement, for 4-6 year olds. They are called “Squirrels” and are currently getting trialled in Ireland and England. So that’s my pick for/link to “Squirrels” - doing some work for Scouts.
It took me 1.5 hours to sew these on… and they’re not straight … who thought up the whole thing of sewing them on the arms?!!*

Prompt: February - Battle - Squirrels Team: Knotty by Nature Project Name: Owl Biscornu Project Link:Woodland Creature Biscornu Brief Description: I decided to use this for the battle, and put it under squirrel because I’m not the biggest fan of birds. I love owls, and a few other birds are cool, but I’m allergic to them, and I find most songbirds highly annoying. The little hedgehog on the toadstool may not be a squirrel, but I bet they could be friends. Project Photo(s):

Yay for no longer lurking!
I went to Whitby Steampunk festival today and one of the stall holders was running mini workshops on using Powertex. I’d never heard of it, but it looked fun and who doesn’t want yet another technique to use?
I made my kids sit on the floor (there wasn’t room for chairs for them, and they had tablets so were happy) while I played.
This is a very bad picture of the result

Project Link: Dragonbreath Chili
Brief Description: My favorite chili recipe (which contains water - and you will need water to drink!!!)
This chili sounds amazing. I also like beans in my chili… in fact, I never add meat to mine. I want to try this now. I used to be the biggest wimp when it came to spicy foods. Living in Arizona has really upped my heat palate.
