Day 21: I did some paint experiments toward a possible second 4x6 piece. They didn’t turn out as I was envisioning (not bad, just different), but I got some pretty cool tags and bits in cleaning off my scraper.

Yesterday I made this ATC
And today I helped my mom make a paper chain for Ayyám-i-Há.
She hung it a little too low and we both kept walking into it! 
We made it with little baby circles and I like it better than the “traditional” big circles 
Then I came home and eventually made two more ATCs

Yesterday I did some more gardening and in the evening I stitched away on my sampler. But today will be a busy day!

Before breakfast I already made some broccoli soup for lunch from leftover broccoli stems + vegetable stock cube. Very simple but will taste very nice with a slice of good bread and is 350 grams of extra veggies today.

Now I don’t have the mental and physical burden of cleaning anymore, I’m going to make a list of small things that have to be done and that I’ve postponed for years. One thing is changing the cilynder of the frontdoor lock. When we moved here, the cylinder in the backdoor was broken, so we changed it out, and never got round to changing the cylinder for the front door, so we have two keys. This is going to take like 10 minutes.

Tonight I’ll have a digital sewing group meeting and I want to finish the denim quilt top and make the BOM for February.

Probably more stitching as well.

Bit more work done on both cross stitch pieces and some mini vintage valentine cards, with envelopes, to tuck in the pockets of a valentines themed pocket letter…
The cards are 4cm by 5cm and the envelopes are 5cm by 6cm

Finished my denim quilt top! Hope to finish the whole quilt next weekend.
Ended up not changing the cylinder in the lock because it’s a slightly different size. I guess that’s why we didn’t do it 6 years! Didn’t have time for the BOM either but at least I did a bit of cross stitch.

My thing for today was decorating my guest room…mostly online shopping and setting up the new bed.
I also prepped some pages for the art class we are doing the the Art Journaling Craftalong.
Tomorrow, I will do the lesson and watch the next one.
