Just discovered another unposted project, so my third item is …
Towards the end of 2021, it seemed like a number of LC members were making C2C blankets in varying sizes so I gave it a try myself and realized I never posted the finished project.

It’s been hanging around my studio, not sure what my plan was for it. I have a new grandson but I made him a quilt and his other gramma and great-gramma both knit him blankets.

Here are two projects from the IYP swap.
Ever since @jemimah moved into her new house I knew I wanted to weave her some towels and was thrilled to get the chance for the IYP swap. I was so excited to send them off that I didn’t get proper pictures so I’m borrowing some of hers

Here are some on loom pics

Here’s what they looked like when I cut them off the loom.

And I’ll admit to loving the last towel so much that I had or weave a matching one …
I made this painted canvas journal for @jemimah in the IYP swap. I was so excited to send that I forgot to take pictures so I’m using one of hers

Here’s a pic of it closed. I reenforced the inside of the spine with tyvek to keep the holes for the elastic from expanding.

This was really fun to make because I painted a larger piece or canvas then got to decide which part to rip out for the journal cover. Thanks for looking!
I’ll have to look through my photos for a third project.

I found a third project
A couple months ago I did a long gelli printing session and loved how the over paper looked and decided to turn it into wall art! I made myself a little view finder to find the part I liked the most then wrapped it around an 8x8 canvas.

I love everything about this piece (the shapes, translucency of the layers, colors, asymmetry) and have been studying it to see what I can use in future art work.
Thanks for organizing this challenge, it was fun to look back through past projects and finally make some dedicated posts for them

It has been so fun seeing all the projects that somehow missed their chance at a starring role earlier!

I have posted a second project - Quilt as you go bags .
@Kwality570 , I bet you have a ton of projects that you haven’t created individual posts for. If you have time, you should definitely share some of those creative endeavors!

This is not an entry because I already have 3 in the mix. But my friend sent me this photo today and it prompted a post
I recently started using my Instagram account and one of my friends has sent a picture of this bag I made some years ago. Proves I did use some of the huge denim stash I managed to accumulate!!

Nothing would ever get done around here if it weren’t for the last minute…
Some highlights from the ongoing household mending piles:
Problem: “This shirt is too scratchy! No, it’s pretty, you can’t give it away!”
[IMG_1045 1]
Problem: too many short sleeves, not enough long sleeves, plus a child who has decided to chew thumb holes into longer sleeves that haven’t got them already.

Problem: too many t-shirts, not enough cute dresses (especially that protect the back of my shoulders from getting sunburnt!)

I managed to convince my kid that she should have prehistoric art as part of her birthday party theme this year, so I got to make paints for favors!
Here they are, in “action”:

Seashells are the oldest recorded paint cups. (they were also used like this in the middle ages)

I have a bad habit of spending too much time making party things for kids who enjoy them for twenty seconds before moving on, so I ordered pre-ground ocher and lamp-black. I also got powdered…
