@heroichatchling – those jellyfish and portion cards are so cute! The coat turned out very well, good for pushing yourself! (I read the Myth series in college getting to book 11 pretty soon after it was released. I lived with the Gleep cliffhanger for NINE YEARS… still scarred by that) Also I really like the Discworld tracker, I have to admit I’ve never read the Tiffany Aching ones…
@craftaddchick – the mailboxes are so cute, I might need to steal that idea for next year! (and I love There’s a Hair in My Dirt)
@tapestry – adore the hedgehog fabric, those look lovely. I’m sure the hedgehogs appreciated it! And I need that crow hoop. Love it! And your dragon painting and the mini Dr Who shelf…. Eeeehhhhhh! (The Thursday Murder Club books are a new favorite series of mine!) The Hedgehog painting is so cute!
@megwell – animals in clothes will make me smile every time. 
@lindyblues – ah, you really are inspiring me to go back to making ATCs!
@silky_bee – amazing bike makeover!
@audiobooklover – That sticker is adorable, and I love the bee cards!
@graverobbergirl – lovely bag!
@ezrib – I do like fermented foods (mmmmm, sauerkraut) but I’m not brave enough to try to do it myself. And amazing work on the mending and altering clothes, I have a pile that I will tackle some day…
@lindyblues – wonderful journal pages!
@bunny1kenobi – so many wonderful ATCs!
@mistressjennie – wow, that quilt is gorgeous! I like quilting as I go, because otherwise it never happens… I love the colors of the potholders.
@mountains_and_clouds – fantastic hen watercolors!

Project Name: Granny Square Chair
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: Last year when we moved back into our offices, there was… a to-do about the chairs. We were mostly making due with what we had, but there was a lot of grief about matching chairs and people not wanting the “ugly” chairs… so I took it upon myself to just cover mine in the most obnoxious way possible. This is the first one done (50+ hours later) and one more to go…

BOOKLIST: (This was such a cool idea; I’ve already added to my to-read list from everyone sharing!)
CHILDHOOD BOOKS:
- Poinsettia & Her Family by Felicia Bond - This was my favorite children’s book. It was supposed to be a message about appreciating your family, but the imagery and joy the main character experiences in the house when her family is gone… I guess I always knew I’d love living on my own.
- The Moon Bridge by Marcia Savin - I read this in 3rd or 4th grade and have never forgotten it. It’s about two friends, one who is Japanese-American and is sent to an internment camp with her family during WWII.
- Starfleet Academy books - These were a series of Star Trek books for middle-grade, and being a child trekkie before the days when we had internet in our homes (not until I was a teenager) they provided me joy and connection with my nerd-side that I was lacking since there were no other trekkie kids in my class.
ADULT BOOKS:
- Under the Dome by Stephen King - This was the first story by Stephen King I’d ever read. And I was surprised that his writing is not at all what pop culture paints it as. His work (to me) is more character study than anything else, and I was hooked.
- Metatropolis by John Scalzi - This was an intriguing anthology (series, actually) with stories by sci-fi authors imagining what cities of the future may look like, taking into account current climate, classist, etc. issues but also offering hopeful perspectives. Greenspace was my favorite, actually.
- Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez - Nonfiction and extremely interesting. Very factual, sometimes frustrating and terrifying (not because of the tone/language of the book; it tends to be quite neutral) how the world is not only more difficult to navigate but outright dangerous (ex: motor vehicle design) for women simply because so many things were designed without taking the existence of women into account.

Brief Description: Before the 2024 election, after Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away, I found this pre-printed panel on Spoonflower. I didn’t get it finished in time due to a family emergency, and it got tucked away after the election. But, it fits the prompt because it’s mostly black & white.

I just opened my phone and saw the browser hung while posting these last night before bed. 
Happy to be vetoed on the submission! I know it was my fault for not double-checking. 
@craftADDchick What a creative and fun way to encourage participation! The fortune cookies look so accurate/cool, too! I think we all could use some RBG presence rn!
@LovelyMiss Those baked good look so yummy… now I’m thinking it might need to be baking day!

@LovelyMiss - those look scruptious and I personally think the fact they posted a few hours late is no big deal. The games are for fun and motivation, afterall. Plus, who hasn’t had their phone or computer betray them at some point? My work computer does things out of pure spite!
