New year, where did it’s first month go?
Jumping in again.
Prompt: January Battle - Tortoise 
Team: Bits and Bobs
Project Name: Stuffed Veggies
Project Link: Stuffed Veggies
Brief Description:
I made a big pot of stuffed vegetables for a family dinner this month. The process is somewhat lengthy, and it cooks slowly over low heat. So, it’s slow and steady, but I feel like a winner when I serve and eat it.

Prompt: January Battle- Hare
Team: Bits and Bobs
Project Name: Crocheted Sponge
Project Link: coming soon
Brief Description: I needed something quick to make tonight so I could get a project done for the Battle! And, while I’m not the fastest at crocheting, I was able to knock this out in about an hour and a half (while talking on the phone). So, that’s speedy for me 
I stitched up a strip that was 15 stitches across (I used half double crochet), and a length that would be sponge-sized when folded in thirds. Once I hit that length, I crocheted the layers together with a single crochet border (adding a little loop for hanging, too!).

These look and sound tasty! My mom and I were at a street fair once and the vendor with the longest line was selling Navajo tacos. Everyone swore up and down that they were worth the wait. Sadly, they were not, lol. Yours on the other hand do look worth the wait, especially with that homemade naan!

Prompt: Research project #1
Team: Running with Scissors
Project Name: Family Valentines
Project Link: Family Valentines- pic heavy-ish
Brief Description: I made 6 Valentines, and a total of 7 magnets, each with a hand cut envelope. It took about 2 hours for each magnet, about 1.5 hours to prepare the mailboxes and their backings (cutting paper, cutting the doors, attaching the flags- especially since I made errors and had to do some of them twice), about 2 hours to create the envelope template and cut & assemble the envelopes, and another 2 hours to put all of them together and write messages on all of them.

Here’s how I’m displaying my pins so far. I’m pretty sure I’ll change this display to something wearable eventually, but for now they hang on my office wall, reminding me of all the fun I’ve had since discovering this site. I’m truly, really grateful for it
