Thing-A-Day February 2021 Craftalong

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 :wink:

28th Feb

Not able to share the swap item I am working on, so a picture of the rubbish pile instead :rofl:

And the only day this month I have not worked on any cross stitch :open_mouth:

You scare me sometimes…how we are on the same wavelength…I took apart a tote bag I had fulled because I did not like it as a tote…I thought it would make a great wool pressing pad…eerie!!!

Day 27 (a day late): I did a couple of the exercises from the art journaling class.

Day 28: More cheesy biscuit sandwiches. (What can I say? They make me happy.)

@AcadianDriftwood, thanks for running this again. See you all back here next year!

Day 28: i’ve spent some time on the hat and if this child ever sleeps i’m hoping to finish it before midnight. I have about 20 rows left. :crossed_fingers:

I didn’t craft every day this month. But I did get some stuff worked on. Today I started cutting out the pieces I need to make a sweater. I haven’t done much for clothes sewing but I’m very excited to get this worked on.

Well I started out this craftalong strong but life had other ideas for how I should spend my energy. But I decided that I should at least finish Feb with doing something. I did the backgrounds on some emu egg projects a few months ago and they have been waiting for there animals and ground work.

I finished her! Thank you all for your support each time I posted progress.

And happy end of February everyone! I’ll see you here again next year. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

It was a fun and challenging month! I enjoyed trying to find one thing a day, but some days it was a stress if the day was nearing end and I hadn’t done anything worth noting…

Today I made another ATC. I’m not thrilled with it, but I do like it. I used some scrap pieces/odd pieces and hand wrote the words (something I usually avoid). I also used some washi tape that I haven’t broken into yet :slight_smile:

Forgot to post a pic of the mitts I made from the sleeves of a sweater I shrank. Decided to add a bit of embroidery to them as well…this was yesterday or the day before’s project.

Here’s part of what kept me so busy this month. I absolutely LOVE this space! It’s in our living room, by the windows. Practically the first thing you see when coming into the house. I was trying to sew here but it got ridiculously messy so that’s all in the basement now and this spot is reserved for yarn work, embroidery, beading, and some non-messy paper crafting. I’m excited to get busy making allthethings!

Thanks for running this challenge again @AcadianDriftwood. It’s become a solid fave for me, I really appreciate the motivation :slight_smile:
