Here you go! ATC envelope tutorial
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).
- Baked Banana bread muffins
- Worked on my sampler
- 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.
- Maaaybe I’m going to clean the microwave tonight
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.)
Birds!! Chirp chirp!
Inspired by @Reinikka, I made some envelopes today from an old calendar of Beatles lyrics.
Because I don’t have a fancy tool, I used a tutorial.
I didn’t make it through all the calendar pages so stay tuned for round 2.
Oh! I also mended a dress today:
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.
Catching up on posting - Monday, worked on my temari
Tuesday, baked tofu (current favorite recipe for tofu) to throw in meals throughout the week, like this ramen with bok choi and shitake mushrooms
Today, did a bit more stitching on my ferret hoop! Hoping to get this done before the end of the month.
Yum! I love tofu I usually just toss it in stir-fry though. Nothing as fancy as you did!
I can’t show the pocket letter I am working on. I can show the turkey vulture I just had to watercolor.
I’m on my phone, or I’d link to it’s post with story.
- Repotted houseplants + made plans for gardening
- Little bit of cross stitch
Love this page!!
Today, I finished the envelopes from my old calendar:
And made some scrappy crowns:
18th Feb
A little more on my cross stitch and started a sheet of heart themed background, to be cut up for inchies/twinchies/etc
Today I knocked out twelve more cards for the Happy Mail Craftalong and I started saving the “scrap” bits by sticking them onto some card stock. This will be a super colorful masterboard when it’s full
