Thanks! I felt it needed a bit of an anchor for all that color.

Oh, that is lovely! I have some recycled sari silk from a pair of gloves I frogged ages ago. It deserves to shine in an object like that. I think I may just borrow your idea and make myself a little bowl or basket…

I was thinking of starching it to keep shape, but would that do bad things to the color/yarn? I’ve never worked in silks.

I was going to crochet around clothesline but didn’t have enough…that is why I paired it with the bulky yarn…I don’t see why you couldn’t starch it…they starch silk shirts all the time…I even throw my silk shirts in the wash…people have to wash their clothes around the world…I would think silk and cottons would hold up well…the only issue might be the dye running…

Love that colorful bowl @AntBee!
I finished an embroidery today based on one of my favorite characters in the show The Magicians.

Lovely stitching…take your time…so worth it…
I made artichoke/olive/rice-a-roni salad…one of my husband’s favorites! I also put together an end table for my guest room by…following the directions! YAY.
Finished my fish embroideries and hope to get them sewn onto the towels tomorrow for finishing the month!
March is National Quilting Month and also Mushroom Madness!!!

I finished making cards for St. Patrick’s Day (assuming I only need nine 
) And we made pizza for dinner as a family (I helped… a little). Bought the raw dough, I cooked the chicken, the husband did the veggie chopping, dough shaping, cheese grating, and sauce spreading… but then the kiddo and I put the toppings on the pizza, so I get some credit, right??

I worked all day & got everything moved around in 3 basement rooms & the living room. I just have to tidy up & then I’ll be able to use my new crafting space, yah-hoo! I am so happy to have it done, starting March off right!

I think you know that space was meant for you and you have returned “home”. Just in time for Mushroom March…lol…I might be mushroomed out, so maybe I will make it Moon March or Macaroon March or Mixed Media March…hey, happy crafting!

I’ve been packing
the movers are coming tomorrow yay! So that will be one house move done.
Second house move will be happening about 15 march, because who wouldn’t want to pack and move two houses in two weeks.

Moving is always a pain…I can’t imagine having to do it twice even in a year! I hope you get your package forwarded…Royal Mail says it is out for delivery!
I see you are taking the best parts…your fabric projects!
It’ll definitely get here, I’ll have mail forwarding, but the postman knows us (it’s tradition to tip your postman at Christmas here) so he’ll leave anything that does slip through, into the neighbors house for us.
All the lovely things that people have made for me over the years, are packed. They make my house a home x

I have been doing so many things and not posting, argh. But it’s still nice to be able to stalk all of you who have been taking your internet breaks here!

Thanks for the recipe, I’ve been wanting to make caramel, but most recipes call for stuff I don’t have. As it is, I’ll have to use canned coconut milk. Yum.
It got a little granular after sitting on the counter for a day. Still delish but not smooth.
Today I’m sorting out all the little bits & bobs to finish this studio move. I took some time to add a layer of fulled wool sweater fabric under the mini ironing board cover though. A day without crafting is a sad day. 7 days without crafting makes one weak
