Thing-A-Day February 2021 Craftalong

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 :heart: 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.

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 :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Stash that was in the donation pile! Lock down means it’s all still in the basement. I’ve opened every single bag & box at least once, hahaha!

Ohh, I need to do that.

Day 18: I made some bread (in the breadmaker, so not really a project) and made some progress on a piece for the 4x6 swap.

I sort of wish I had committed to actually finishing a thing each day, but i am pleased that my hat is getting so much attention after 6 years of neglect. I really love it, i just kept tabling it for projects for other people.

Actually, your hat saga is better than waiting for the next release of Law & Order UK! lol

I love that hat so much…the colors are just incredible and each time you post, there is a different combination of colors and stitches…just wonderful!
