Prompt: Good Luck Charm (March)
Team: Bits & Bobs
Project Name: Punched Stars
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: I broke out my new star punch during the LC Zoom this afternoon and made a big old pile. Seriously, I may have gotten carried away. Stars are a Lucky Charms marshmallow shape (one of the original 4, a thing I learned because adulthood has made me forget important info like the Lucky Charms shapes & I had to Google them).

That jellyfish is an excellent addition your menagerie! Love those colors!

Thanks! I am stress crafting right now. Just got out of a tornado warning. An active tornado just passed 20 miles south of Mr SBC at his work. Going to be a fun night :roll_eyes:

Look forward to a turtle tonight… unless I run out of the green I’m using :blush:

Project Name: Sea turtle

Brief Description: I just finished this turtle. I think it took close to 30 hours to finish. It’s 23 inches long. It was a pain, and I won’t make this pattern again. It was too finicky.
