Gnomey pals! So cute.

I sent #1 today & made claim #3, and should send #2 this weekend!

My momentum got sideswiped by the husband being unwell. Nothing too-too serious, but put things out of whack around here big time. (Looks like either gout or lyme.) Looking to the weekend to make up lost time and get sent by my due date.

Another ornament is on it’s way, this time to @Lynx, and now I’m gonna whip up another one in between finishing costume details this weekend.

Yesterday I received this lovely package from @endymion! She is such a great pinterest stalker. :wink: I think that we both wrote the same thing in our notes to each other… great minds right?

I am in love with this wee paintbrush! Now I have to think of where I will hang it year round. Thank you Pam!

Me: oooh i want a supply item from the store for this next ornament. I think i will pop out for it & takeout dinner now!
Mother Nature: how about a storm that could be the worst in local recorded history?
Me: Yup, staying home & making a sandwich!!!

We’re fine & will likely miss most of the storm, just high winds here so power outages & roads blocked from trees down. The coast is getting really slammed though. I will just get the supply tomorrow! Power flickering now so i am charging everything & I have all my emergency supplies ready to go.

You can see the storm winds here: Wind map I love this earth wind map tool!

I didn’t ever appreciate that map until working this summer in Norway.

Continue to stay safe!

Wow! Cool map! By all means, stay safe and get your craft supplies later, @Camelama. Glad you liked the rainbow paint brush, @lifeinpigtails. I had fun deciding which trims to use on it. And sequins, of course.
:wink:

The storm blew itself out here. At least we hope, we shall see what overnight brings us. Living in a valley near the Puget Sound Convergence Zone and the Cascade Mountains and Canada and Puget Sound itself means we never know whose weather we will have!

I have mine ready to send but I may not make it to the post office in time. Fingers crossed!

Ok so i got myself confused. How do we do the #/#/# thing? If I have actually claimed 3, and sent 1 …is it 3/1, or 2/1?

Claims, in transit, received, so 3/1/0…

when received, 3/0/1

It really only matters when you claim so our organizer knows that you are not over claiming and have sent…

I received the cutest gnome for my tree (and collection) from @photojenn !

She mailed him in one of her beautiful gelli printed/copied cards—what a great idea to make copies of our art in paper or fabric…I feel like I got a 2 for 1!

Such tiny stitches…fine work, Jenn! Thank you so much!

Even though our organizer has been a slacker and not yet updated that portion…shhhh!! (Thank you all for being honest!)

OOOH, how neat! The ornament is cool and the card is pretty!
