@Abbeeroad That twine is beautiful! I have a bag of twine and fabric strips for adding to it. I only use mine for tying gift bags though, nothing fancy
Today I made clean laundry, unsuccessfully stalked the mail box (will check again later…), made a “template” (aka the plan didn’t turn out perfect) for some 4"x6" art, and made one ATC!
Will probably do more later but now I’m hungry

The roads were bad from our ice storm, so I had to reschudule my sinus surgery again. We were without power since 8 pm last night. It didn’t come back on until an hour ago. Even though I didn’t really craft anything today, I took more bird pictures with my new camera (with our icy background), edited them, and uploaded and ordered prints from Snapfish for more bird cards! I also ordered more fabric for my mountain quilt.

I love the fabric twine…and making those ornaments (balls) might be what my bored cats would play with!
I got up very early this morning to put some pork into the crock pot…I am making shredded pork to try out @Abbeeroad’s recommendation for Banh Mi sandwiches! While it was cooking away, I went to a seafood market down the street to pick up shrimp and oysters for tonight…Fat Tuesday, so we had to have Po Boy Sandwiches New Orleans style! While I was out (I rarely go out and only within about 5 miles from home), I picked up French bread and cookies at the bakery and did some grocery shopping at the Asian market. It was nearly 70 degress here, so it was a lovely day to be out.
I also sewed on a few more patches on my big project…ugh…hand stitching on heavy canvas is rough on the hands.

I am sorry about your fingers, but there is something about a sweater covered with cool bubbles that is just amazing to me…like painting on clothing…
Well, following @magpie’s lead, my little embroidery floss holders arrived yesterday…all 200 of them…what was I thinking? I am not going to let myself get overwhelmed by this task…a few a day and I should be done by year 2025…lol
He really loves it but it matches my pants so well I may be wearing it myself sometimes!
The floss winding is slow going but I do it in bed at night while watching (mostly just listening to) silly tv if I haven’t got a more interesting craft I want to work on. It’s ok I don’t mind the bin of floss sitting out, it’s full of pretty colours. I consider it a decoration

I had just enough of this fun camera washi tape to decorate a set of these bird prints (not the new dslr shots yet).
Went to pick up some new pots for the plants that will be delivered tomorrow, for my windowsill jungle. One pot is too big for the windowsill so I have to figure out where I’m going to put it.
Day 17: Not feeling super crafty today, but I realized it had been a while since I’d Powerpuffed myself, so I played around on that site for a bit. (“Myself” being a relative term; I took some artistic liberties.)
Not the prettiest but gets the job done. Now taking bets on how long it will last.

I finished sewing all of the patches onto my tote bag project…tomorrow, I will iron it and make a separate post. I did a total of 38 patches embroidered onto canvas over a couple of day…my elbow and fingers hurt from stitching, but I really wanted to get this one done.
