Amazing!! Congratulations!! Now what are you going to do for the next week?

jellybean · February 22, 2024, 7:12pm

Thanks! I’ll probably make fish hats or blanket squares or work on something else from my WIP pile.

I feel like this is the only place on the Internet where you don’t end up on a watchlist for that sort of comment .

This hippo is too adorable @jellybean!!

Love the trees @photojenn, looking forward to seeing some more forest-y artworks!

Magpie · February 22, 2024, 10:17pm

I thought exactly that when I typed it, HA!

2/22. I didn’t realize how similar the compositions were until I lined them up for the picture .

@jellybean Your hippo is KILLIN’ me with the KEWT! [swoons] Please give it its own thread if you haven’t already!!!

Yesterday I did die cutting and today I finished a new St. Paddy’s project. EEP! I am going to try to take advantage of the quickly disappearing daylight to get pics.

Feb 22 - today I crafted a secret project, this is all I can show …

photojenn · February 23, 2024, 1:54am

This afternoon we took 2 canvases and took turns swapping them back and forth evert 5 min. At the end we split them in two so we’d each have a piece of each one to sew into pouches.

Here are the two canvases and my two pieces at the end

AntBee · February 23, 2024, 1:57am

That’s really neat and would make a fun crafternoon project for a future LC meetup.

Magpie · February 23, 2024, 2:35am

Oh shoot, that’s some awesomesauce right there.
Have you ever checked out Julie Fei-Fan’s clothes? She sometimes wears some stuff that looks like her paintings & I LOVE IT. I want to wear alla dat.

photojenn · February 23, 2024, 2:58am

I’m at Andrea Chebeleu‘s (from aworkofheart/Watch.Learn.Play) place in Oregon. We’ve been having an art play week

Day 22 - worked on a fish hat:

AudiobookLover · February 23, 2024, 5:55pm

I’ve been wondering what a fish hat would look like. Now I just need to see an action shot of it being worn .

AudiobookLover · February 23, 2024, 5:59pm

I am so impressed by all the things everyone has been doing! I have not been able to maintain a thing-a-day, but I did get these stitched out over the course of two days earlier this week.

Bunny1kenobi · February 23, 2024, 6:10pm

Ooh, love those embroideries @AudiobookLover! Perfect for a tote bag or apron!

And those canvases! -Swoonworthy!!

Yesterday I worked on a swap project. Today I’m doing my nails. That’s a whole project by itself, believe me….
