The colors on these are wonderful! They just make them look so cheerful!
I’m so excited that we’re already getting new members right off the bat! So happy to have you!
I’ve never worked with herbs like that, but I have heard it can be way cheaper and just as nice as commercial cosmetics! Probably better for the environment too! Also, your rose water is just pretty.
Oh my, I’ve always heard this is quite the rabbit hole!! :: But I so admire people who paint miniatures!! I just received an amazing going-away present from my former DM, a custom-made box to hold a brand new set of metal dice, plus the four minis I’d used in his campaigns over the years, all of which he’d painted.
Your minis are SO well done!! The detail is truly amazing; I understand why it takes up a lot of time; I don’t understand how you keep your hand so steady and accurate!!
lol, is it now The Site that Must Not be Named?
Good to see you here!
That’s a beautiful e-reader case! I’m always at a loss for what to do with large prints like that, but that showcases it beautifully!
Hahaha, for those who weren’t Skyping with me while I made this guy, I was looking at a picture online for inspiration, and it had pink cheeks, but I only had deep red felt handy.
And thank you, SBC! ::
Mountains_and_Clouds – Yarn is my nemesis but I am addicted to using them in the kitchen. You are right, they work wonderful and are better for the environment. I often trade for them or get them at craft shows. Yours are so vibrant and fun.
Tanyia – Welcome to the Games! I love the idea of the rose water. Do you just spritz it on your face? Sorry, I don’t know much about toner. I bet it smells amazing though!
Jillybeans – Hey Girl! So happy to see you here! Thirty? Did I read that right? 30?! Yikes. But yours are looking so amazing. I like that you are taking your time and doing each one up right. You’re going to have an incredible set! All that detail and such a tiny scale. My eyes are hurting just thinking about all the squinting I would be doing!
Acadian Driftwood – I love the large print of the ereader cover and the way you covered the elastic.
Roler – Awe. Sorry to hear the change is turbulent. I hope it all levels out soon. The panda is adorable, and I always love your felt work. It’s something I don’t have the patience for but adore.
You can, sure I’m using a round cotton face pad with a little bit of raised edges on one side for a little scrubbing action. It’s a great face cleaner.

Team: Bits and Bobs
Project Name: Together We Make A Home
Project Link: January “Home” stitchalong
Brief description: The January stitchalong theme was “Home” and I found a wonderful coloring page online (activityvilliage) that I stitched up. I chose Status Quo because even though we have moved into Lettuce Craft now, we are still the same amazing family community. (I have not created it’s own post yet because I think this will end up being part of a larger project, but for the purpose of the Games, this part is complete.)
Prompt: January - Save Money/Eliminate Debt Team: Bits and Bobs Project Name: Beaver Feltie Project Link:Felt Magnets Brief Description: This little guy was made entirely from the very limited stash I was able to scrounge up at my parents’ house (mostly left over from the last time I was here)! Project Photo(s):
Thanks, SBC! The tiny stitching is probably part of why I am so slooooow. I do like his little face though!

Prompt: January - Learn a New Skill Team: Bits and Bobs Project Name: Alcohol Inked Inchies Project Link:Alcohol Inked Inchies Brief Description: I haven’t made inchies in YEARS and the inchie swap on Discord was the perfect place for more practice with my new medium of alcohol inks.

Brief Description: I have a busy month coming up and was trying to come up with something I could make and carry around as a snack that is not sweet. I threw a bunch of stuff together (oats, quinoa, protein flour, nuts, soy milk, and some spices) and came up with these little bars that are kind of like spicy cookies.
I finally finished a few projects I can post. Next up are a few items for a personal swap I’m doing, and I can’t wait to get started!
Prompt: January - Battle - Status Quo Team: Knotty by Nature Project Name: Koala Project Link:Koala Cuteness Brief Description: I chose to go with status quo, because I pretty much stick with crochet as my craft of choice. This pattern was a new one to me. I made a few notes in the community post about some pattern issues, but overall it was easy to make. I love how it turned out. Project Photo(s):
Prompt: January - Save Money/Eliminate Debt Team: Knotty by Nature Project Name: Chubby Unicorn Project Link:Chubby Unicorn Brief Description: This pattern was also a new one to me. I made this using entirely stash items. I love how it turned out. Like I mentioned in the community post, my bff from my freshman year of high school self-published a book and named the main character after me. I just got my signed copy of her book. I am going to make a unicorn based on the description of one of the characters in the book for her as a thank you/congratulations on publishing your first book gift. This one was the trial run of the pattern. Project Photo(s):
