Project Name: kidney
Project Link: Crocheted kidney
Brief Description: I made this for my surgeon. I’ll give it to him when I have the first of two surgeries in a few weeks. I’ve been less crafty and fairly absent for the last few months because of kidney pain. Hopefully once I have the two surgeries (which I’ve been told will not be fun and will be pretty painful after… but once I heal I shouldn’t have any further problems!) I will bounce back and get my crafty mojo going. :clinking_glasses: to the future! :blush:

Project Name: Pretzels

Brief Description: I’ve never made pretzels from scratch. I read about it and was in wonder about the process and baking soda bath - what science wizardry. Anyway, I decided to make some. They were surprisingly fun and delicious! I followed this process: Homemade Hard Pretzel Rods Recipe | Girl Versus Dough

Project Name: Embroidery
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked up a little embroidery kit on clearance for $1. Umm, it took me steady work over about two and a half weeks. I’ve done some embroidery here and there, but this is probably my biggest project ever. I’m not that great at it, and many of the stitches were new to me so I had a lot of trial and error. Overall, though, it’s finished and cute enough!
