Today I took apart a crochet toque I made myself 3 years ago. It would have been great in Alberta where we had little wind but it had too many holes for the wind here in PEI. I’m using the yarn and a different pattern to make myself a new one.

Oof. So far today, all I have done craft-wise is seam rip. Black thread on black polar fleece… serged seams.

Ouch. When I have that kind of thing happening, I start wondering what I’ve done, to have been singled out for torment.

I want to do something creative for 15 minutes a day, no matter what it is.
I’m adding things I’ve already done below, and I’ll come back a little later to add the photos.
Februrary…
1st: Put together the Everyday Holidays Craftalong and added some ideas for celebrating some of the holidays. Also, made some envelopes from calendar pages.
2nd: Added more ideas to Everyday Craftalongs and made more envelopes from calendar pages.
3rd: Took photographs at the Repair It! Café. Made more envelopes.
4th: Made the final batch of envelopes.
5th: Took advantage of this beautifully sunny, very mild February day, and took photos at the playground while the children played. Also took some creative photos in the evening at Feb Fest
6th: Made 3 ATCs for the January swap; made a library haul TikTok video. I won’t put the ATC pictures here so I don’t spoil the surprise for the recipients 
7th: Drew a monster for the monster swap. Started on the second monster.

Day three was very productive.

My thing for today was excavating and sorting out part of the sewing room. Not photogenic, but satisfying

I think I need some of those paint sprays in my life.

Haha, right? Mostly, this is because I am reconfiguring a storebought piece, but then of course I screwed up and had to undo some of my own work. Mine wasn’t serged, but it was a special knit stitch that has a squidillion stitches per inch, of course.

Haha! Cussing up a storm, over here. But not giving up.

Day 4: Finished that seam-ripper project: turning a too-small bat “onesie” into a hoodie.
I had taken measurements, consulted the fitting chart, etc. multiple times and determined that my instinct was incorrect and a medium was the right size. Should’ve trusted my intuition! And since this was a Sept purchase for a December gift, it was too late to exchange. TheMisterT suggested that a hoodie would be a great fix. So I cut it off at hoodie length, removed and moved the pockets up, and added ribbing from stash. I was not ready to deal with replacing the zipper, so what we have here is a 7/8 zip pullover! Oy. Maybe some day I will add to the top of the pants part. Right now I want to never sew black polar fleece again.

The other day, I went to render a drawing and found two of my Copics were bone dry. So, this morning I tested all of them. I had a few more that were dry and several that could use refills. I couldnt afford to get refills for all of them, but i made a list and ordered about 12 colors.
