I’ll be away from my craft supplies for a couple of weeks but then on holiday, yay! Today I did a bit of collecting and I’ll work on my cards/letters until I get back to the studio.

Anybody who has not received their partner’s Q please let me know and I’ll hook you up!

I have an idea that’s proooobably too complicated for a small :sweat_smile:

Me too. The fabric store was having a sale. I may have spent a little more money than intended. Whoops!

Check in time, how is everybody doing? Are you managing to keep some light in your life during these dark days? Share something good if you can so we can all feel a little uplifted.

Mine is a mixed bag, Rob’s away for a whole month as of last Saturday! We don’t spend much time apart so this will be a big shift for everybody, the dog is not happy already. But he’s going to be in lovely, warm places and I am so happy for him. It’s easy to feel happy when you’re feeling it for someone you love :revolving_hearts:

I’m still brainstorming. Will start making tomorrow.

A funny share… my cat that died in 2022 loved SMELLING roses (she’d seriously sit under the rose bushes and sniff them). My new cat, Miss Rosa, who I rescued from the pound 2 weeks after Sassy died… she apparently loves EATING roses. Found out during our work meeting today and had to take a break after to clean up the mess as she knocked a bunch of stuff off the shelf while munching.

I’ve started on my project. :blush:

Some happy news: My family and I are completely safe amidst the awful weather we’ve been having.

Aw. This is my absolute favorite time of year. We got about a foot of snow over the weekend and that is 100% my happy. :snowflake: :evergreen_tree: :milky_way:

Also. I got flowers from my husband last week and they are still beautifying our home.

Rose sniffing & rose eating cats is a fun story!

I’m liking the ridiculous snow as well. Being warm & safe keeps it enjoyable for sure.

Your flowers are so gorgeous.

My good thing: Puttering around in my whatever journal has been bringing me a lot of joy.

I haven’t physically started on my swap project, but I have a pretty good idea where I’m going with it (& the result looks really cool in my head :laughing:).

I haven’t started yet but I will soon. Thankfully my wrist is doing much better which also is less limiting for crafting!!

I haven’t started yet, bit did settle on a main idea for each of my partners.

My good thing: last night I painted for the first time in a couple months.

Still nailing down exactly what to craft, but I have several good leads. Next step is checking if I need any supplies. I’ll be near a craft store and several second hand stores on friday :smiley: I mostly looked for patterns and read a lot this weekend.

Sadly I haven’t decided what to do yet, currently trying to figure out where all the craft supplies are (as I’m turning the house upside down) and then I need to decide a medium, and also what affirmation I want :joy:

And snow is pretty consistent here where I live in Norway, as is the cold, so I’m happy, not too bad seeing as I need to get around for work, but also have to walk my dog

Just checking, but you know this swap is for a small right?

Just a small, folks. About an hour of crafting time.

Ridiculously busy here with tons of assignments, and I’m really looking forward to a few hours of happy crafting towards the end of this week :sparkling_heart:

Please send me some! The temperature is going to reach 43 degrees C here today (that’s 109 F) :sun_with_face: :melting_face:
