Project Name: Mended coat pocket lining
Project Link:
Brief Description: My partner’s favorite coat has been well used. I did what I could to mend various holes in the pockets without brining new fabric or deconstruction into the mix (that will probably be next time). They’ve been holding up well so far. No more lost items or phone swimming in the coat lining.

LovelyMiss wanted to make a AIR-themed craft (the blossom petals blowing in the wind)
using or inspired by PAPER.
It featured a variety of colors including
TEAL and PINK.
Everyone remarked how
MYTHICAL and COZY (the dragon and castle, person leaning on tree and sitting by a fire)
it looked when they gazed upon the finished project.

Project Name: Black bag
Project Link:
Brief Description: I had a hand-stitching marathon in January to make some bags for the gift buffet. I made each one over a day or two while binge rewatching Kath & Kim twice all the way through (including movies). They were from pre-cut kits. They still took A LONG time. I was not prepared. Like each one is easily a Big Time. This one I accidentally ripped a small section when trying to fix a couple wonky stitches, so it didn’t make the cut and I kept it. Bags store other things.

Brief Description: These feature white cream and red berries.
Bunny1kenobi wanted to make a math-themed craft
using or inspired by metal.
It featured a variety of colors including
Tan and purple.
Everyone remarked how
Peculiar and dazzling
it looked when they gazed upon the finished project.
I made chaffles for the first time! I had to do math to figure out how many carbs were in each waffle (2 carbs!) and I used a metal waffle iron. The chaffles are tan (golden brown and delicious!) with white whipped cream (no sugar) and a few slices of strawberries along with some purple blueberries. To me, waffles made primarily with eggs and cheese are a bit peculiar, but the end result was both dazzling and delicious!

My first thought was to make pie for Pi day but I wasn’t confident in my ability to make a low carb version.
