Less tangible, but I also cleaned the living/dining/kitchen, set out fresh candles, and put together a delicious dinner for a nice Date Night. It’s amazing how just a night at home on the sofa can feel indulgent when you add candles, pick up a dessert treat, and take time to snuggle up together without phones or laptops.
While DH plays D&D today, I’m going to spend some time playing with some special beads I picked up.
That sounds delightful!
Today is home-and-crampy day here so I’m tinkering with various projects. There’s a little time in the afternoon when I get full sunlight on my front steps, so I sat out in it and carded 1-2 oz. of Hog Island fleece, which had been dyed with black walnut:

Besides making a killer avocado/corn/tomato salad to go with our take out fried oysters and hush puppies from Something Fishy of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives fame, I made this today!!
I will use it to work on tomorrow’s project!
Thanks for the pattern, @storerboughtcreation!
8/29 … had to de-clutter the storage room with hubby today so not much crafting happened. I did get a couple rows done on my shawl though.
My big project this month was going to be a t-shirt quilt, which I’ve started, but it’s on hold as my friend realized her most precious shirt is missing and she wants it in her quilt. So, until it’s found, nothing more will happen.
Today I actually did a little sewing. My mom needed some help to get some stuff done as she is speaking at a local guild this week. And we are really bad at being ready ahead of time so it’s lots of last minute panic here. But I helped finish picking the top to a runner. Just need to get a picture of it tomorrow when it’s light out again.
I made a couple of headbands at a baby shower (1 pictured here) and, uh, craftily arranged the cupcake display. I can’t take credit for making the cupcakes, just the display
Was beginning to think I’d done nothing crafty today then I realised that I mended Miles’ coat by hand, managed a few stitches on the next patch of my jumper, wrote a couple of blog posts and made s’mores.
A pretty crafty day all round!

I haven’t quite figured out what today’s project is going to be, but I suspect it will be more progress on my sock.

Yesterday and today I have been working on masterboards and an attempt at the Zetti style for the Paper/Mixed Media Craftalong. I think the atc is in the style. I also used @geekgirl’s tool of drywall tape–so fun! I will probably add some circles or stencil to the masterboards.
I quilted the runner I helped finish. It was just stitch in the ditch so nothing exciting. I will have to try and get a picture with the quilting but I got one of the top together.

I made a little fabric frame for yesterday’s cross stitch, but I don’t want to show it until I completed the whole project, which hopefully, will be tomorrow! I am working through my large stash of linen and now have a pile of scraps that I also want to us up…
