Unbelievably cool! It’s looking so cool already.

Two baskets made yesterday…holding a crochet hook was all I could manage with the sore spot on my palm from wart removal “surgery”…

Love the first little basket!

I got some bleach stains on one of my favorite shirts a while ago. I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of it so I’m trying to revive it with some bleach tie-dye. Added snow into the mix because why not? No clue if this will turn out.

Thinking of adding some dye on top after the bleach. But I think I want to see if the bleach works first.

Had to frog a little of the frame on my cross stitch today, the vertical was correct, but I was off by one on the horizontal, but frogged it, replaced it and completed a little more today

Oh no! That’s the worst. Glad you’re back on track.

Results of the bleach dye:

Bleached more than intended because of the slow melt but I don’t hate it. Going to wear it for a bit see how I feel before potentially overdyeing.

Day 20: I finally finished the piece I was working on for the 4x6 swap and made some biscuits (this time with bacon). I also made a mess when the garbage disposal leaked all over its cabinet, so I think I’m done for the night…
