I couldn’t stand it. I made another claim. I have two great ideas that I am going to work on this weekend.

I’m halfway through my 1st claim. Going to TRY to be strong and not make another claim until I’m done. We’ll see!

So what are “orchard apples”? google just shows me apple orchards. Pretty sure that isn’t what you are asking for.
Maybe something like an oak gall, where a wasp does something to a tree (sting comes to mind, but that seems unlikely) to form a cosy place for her eggs to incubate?

Nope, genuinely want fresh apples from an orchard. I visited a friend in NJ in November and she took me to an orchard and those were the best apples I’ve had in my life. Nothing I can get local compares, alas.

I’ve gone to some apple orchard in upstate NY and the apple were pretty good. The fresh cider was amazing though. Along with the fresh apple donuts!

Oh. Thanks for explaining! I always think I’m too literal,then something like this comes along and I overthink it.

I love a good apple. I haven’t found any that I’m impressed with yet here in Vermont.
I’m excited to go through my fabric stash to find something special for Manders’ kiddo.

I love a good apple too. We have a columnar apple tree. It doesn’t get vert big and the apples are so floral sweet. There is an apple that is pink-I can’t remember the name of the apple, but I am dying to try it. The Pacific NW has a variety of apples.

On the original post, I put the due date, but what Tapestry said, two weeks from the claim date.

I HATE all but one tiny aspect of the art piece I was working on for @Manders. Sigh. I’m currently debating trying to redeem my current mess or going with a different subject altogether. It drives me crazy when my mental picture and the execution are so wildly different and extra crazy when my art looks like something a hyperactive toddler vomitted on the page. Ugh. I may have to burn this piece in effigy. It would be cathartic.

Makes me wonder, you weren’t happy with your froggy at first either but the frog was cute in the original.

I still don’t like the original of that frog, but I adore the reworked version. Which is why I’m hoping I can redeem this art. Or I can start a new piece, show you the one I despise passionately, and send it your way as an extra if you like it. At least I have options and a week left to craft!

Options are always good. I liked your old frog before you added the other things, but I’ll admit I thought it was even better after you reworked it. 
I just sent out @sheepBlue bleach dye hoody!
