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!

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

Brief Description: These were sent with the Galentines. No idea where all of my pics went… I made 6 for my partners and one for myself. They were each about 2 feet long so they could be wrapped if used as bracelets or they could be used as trims in other projects if my partners preferred that option. Each one took about 1.5 hours to make.

Brief Description: This jean jacket nearly killed me. It took just under five hours. It’s cute, though. It’s a mix of machine and hand-stitched. I adapted the pattern to better fit the doll, and also decided at the last minute to add a turned collar with the seam allowance fabric (which is why it’s so small). It’s blue.

The fabric is a heavy, thick twill I originally bought to make shawl wraps, but then scrapped because I cut out all of them THE WRONG SIZE. Oops. Anyway, the fabric is white and black.

Project Name: “Window Wanderland - Display”
Project Link: n/a
Brief Description: We have a community thing in our part of the city, the so called “Window Wanderland” - people who sign up decorate their windows for a weekend and keep their lights on so people can see the creativity. You walk around the houses who have signed up (or drive by car - they are usually very spread out).
We did our first one in 2022 - Ghost Busters themed, and this year it was Lord of The Rings.
There was no Wanderland in 2023. And I think my area of the city started this during Lockdown (2021 maybe?), at least we didn’t hear about it until 2021.
I made the 3 panels for our kitchen window all by myself, and then helped Doug and the twins to do the two Velux Windows (middle and top floor). They are beautiful (ok, beauty is in the eye of the beholder 
) and using very delicate sugar paper which rips easily!!
Project Photo(s): Photo will appear in a bit, need to open this post on my phone to do so. 
Ok, my work (all by myself):
The full display is here, the whole family’s work…
And let’s see if I can find our display from 2022…
