How is March already half over!? We are leaving this week… Which is sure to be an interesting experience what with everything closing down due to covid-19 concerns.
I just finished catching up with tracking. I look forward to seeing the flood of new projects that people will be finishing due to self-quarantining. Stay healthy friends, and craft on!

Oh my goodness, people, I have been watching and admiring this thread the whole time and thinking I’ll get around to commenting but I’m busy right now and… here we are two months since the last time I really commented! There is SO MUCH to catch up on but I love it all so I’m gonna give it a go…
@AcadianDriftwood
Mmmm, deviled eggs. I love them too! I made them for an Easter party I held with my Japanese friends and no one had had them before, so it was a special treat! I also sprinkle paprika the way you do; it’s the best way! XD Also, I D&D too! I wonder what percentage of the Nerd Games people do…? 
@FrizzyTyger
Those bagels may be slightly misshapen but they look DELICIOUS! I have never made sourdough OR bagels so this is so impressive to me! Onions, garlic, and sesame sound like a perfect match/flavor too. 
@gozer
Your coin purses! They are all SO CUTE and elegant too! And the lettuce one really made me smile. I’m having trouble choosing a favorite but… yup, it’s the cat and dog one. XD
Aaaand, I barely started commenting but I’ve gotta go make dinner. Back later!

I love your glaze on the bowl. The different shades of blues are just gorgeous with the clay color peeking through.
@AcadianDriftwood
Your lemon art is so cheery! And is that part of a library check-out card in one of the sections? Love all the variety and details!
@storerboughtcreation
You know how much I looooooooooooove the eel biscornu!! It’s gotten loads of likes and comments on Katsuyuki’s blog too! The hummingbird you made is so charming; I would use it as a Christmas ornament, or hang it in a window! Definitely the right choice to do the unicorn biscornu on a black background; it makes it pop so much.
@appledainty
I echo the amazement of others that you embroidered all that yourself on those sleeves! So intricate! And WOW that butterfly earcuff is gorgeous!!! I’m imagining it with a yukata I have; it would go so perfectly!
@QueenHobo
That shawl is breathtaking. The hombre yarn is so subtle and beautiful, which goes really well with the lovely intricate pattern!
I play Hackmaster off and on - same general idea!

Project Name: Quarantine Juice (AKA Fruit Infused Water Using the Instant Pot)
Project Link: Quarantine Juice (AKA Fruit Infused Water Using the Instant Pot)
Brief Description: SInce I’ve been home because school is cancelled, I haven’t been drinking enough water. Our tap water doesn’t taste the greatest, so I decided to use up some of the bags of very icy fruit that are occupying precious space in my freezer. I made 2 batches- cranberry & pineapple, and blueberry & mango. Even though they only process for 5 minutes, the whole thing took over an hour per batch. Water + fruit= a natural flavor concentrate!
Project Photo(s):
I got almost 2 quarts of each batch. They’re not canned, so they’re being kept in the fridge.

And now back to my loooong overdue comments!
@Bunny1kenobi
Your garage sale notecards are so cool! I love the vintage feel. Super classy.
@geekgirl
Pretty sure I commented on your Mushroom Demon thread before but it just made me smile all over again. Beautiful even knit stitches on your dishcloth, and I like the variegated colors too! You can take out stitches?! That is one thing I have NEVER figured out how to do with knitting; basically if I mess up, I have to unravel the entire project and start again. Just did that yesterday with a panel representing hours of work. ToT I love your masterboards! I love the projects you do with them, too, but I would have so much trouble putting them to use, since they’re already so awesome as they are!
@Lynx
Very cool that you made your own cider! I used to make some once a year when I was a kid, at a family friend’s farm. They had a big cider press and would throw a HUGE annual party and we would all take turns manning the crank, producing scads of gallons of cider in just a day! Good times.
@Tanath
What a fun puppy pawprint ring! Do you use special equipment for that? Like a loom type thing? The color choice is great; really makes the pawprint pop!
@Smeddley
Your little bat is tooooo cuuuuuute! If we ever do a swap, just know I would always love one. XD The hoop is so creative, especially the nest with the bead eggs! What a sweet motif! D’awww, your tiny bear is adorable! I have a book of patterns for sea creatures made of embroidery floss, and I can’t wait to get good enough at crochet to try the challenge of working so small!
@craftADDchick
Your dishcloth is so bright and cheery! Good thing you were already planning to work through your stash this year, as it’s sure getting harder to acquire supplies at the moment!
@AcadianDriftwood
I have mentioned your wifi password embroidery in at least two conversations since seeing it I LOVE the idea!! And you got the LotR font spot-on. And sesame garlic ginger sounds like a wining combination for salad dressing!
@storerboughtcreation
If you hadn’t made the eel biscornu, I’d have said the fox one was your best one yet. But as it is, the eel can never be topped! (probably)
@gozer
Wonderful shark ATCs! They actually look quite gentle, despite the pointy teeth! I think your use of color is so soft and appealing.

Project Link: 4 Day ATC Blitz Challenge! Starts Wednesday evening-March 18
Brief Description: I decided to give the 4 Day ATC Blitz Challenge a go and one of the prompts was “Ephemera.” I pulled out my box of paper ephemera (several years ago, I had a brief ATC making stint) and picked out a few things (a chocolate box package {the frog}, some tissue paper, a piece of an origami paper package, a tag) and added in some embroidery floss and paper. My Frog Prince card is the result!

Project Name: Watercolor ATC
Project Link: 4 Day ATC Blitz Challenge! Starts Wednesday evening-March 18
Brief Description: Here’s another for the 4 Day ATC Blitz Challenge. The prompt was “Rainbow” and I found a card that had the doodle sketched out on it already (I think it was supposed to be a Zentangle ATC). So, I colored it in with watercolor pencils and then put the border around it. It was very relaxing to make!
