Thing-A-Day February Craftalong 2020

I love the miniature angel-card deck. I have been planning to make a miniature tarot deck for some time now and having seen how cute theses are, I may have to start it

I finished the quilt top! @edel, check it out!

Now, to take it to my LQS to be quilted! I wonder if she has a sports (football?) pattern?

My husband actually gave feedback besides (nice job). He really likes the pattern (as do I–same one as Edel’s green quilt) and we talked about making one for our bedroom.

Once it’s quilted and bound, I’ll make an official post.

I made the fiddliest bookmark ever.

Mini Bookmark from Mini Masterboard -- ART 2020 Q1 Challenge Entry

Bookmarks were one of my gateway crafts, so that seemed like an obvious choice for my challenge entry. Final product: [20200215_170340] I started by making a 1:6 masterboard on an inchie-sized bit of cardstock. I started with a layer of tiny text snippets and bits of masking tape and then spread some black and purple paint over it with a piece of old gift card. [20200215_145928] I cut some pieces of drinking straw and used them to make pink and yellow rings. The smaller dots are the same p…

@calluna

it reminds me too much of those foot bags people used to kick around in a group, though, so I’m going to try out some different options for cases before calling it a finished project.

it’s the most colorful hacky sack I’ve ever seen! I like the colors. and I love the tiny cards.

@AntBee

i also made these giant yarn poms for sensory play/motor skill fun

There’s a lot to love in this pic. the fun poms poms. the fun action shot with the adorable model. those awesome elephant pants. and I am loving those penguin peg dolls.

@Lynx

I finished the quilt top!

Yesterday:

Cannoli Cream Dip

This is one of my partner’s favorite desserts - I love when he requests it because it’s so easy to put together! My recipe is only slightly modified from this recipe by Crazy for Crust. I found I wanted more chips and a bit less sugar. [IMG_0982] Ingredienets: 8 oz cream cheese 15 oz ricotta cheese (drained if there’s extra liquid) 1.5 cups powdered sugar (can be 2 cups according to your taste) 2 tsp vanilla extract fresh lemon zest (half a lemon worth) 1.5 cups mini chocolate chips (se…

Today: more work on the challenge project I started earlier this month with the little cusion.

My job “loves” me so much that we have this coming week off for February break. I claim it as my birthday vacation.

I spent last night making soups (chicken noodle and a beef vegetable) for my mom. They were portioned out into easy serve containers and tucked into the freezer.

Right now, I’m baking my peanut butter banana bread for my mom.

In a couple of hours, my kids and I are traveling up to TN to visit her and all of the goodies I’ve made will be going with us. This is the first time in many years that I’m spending part of my birthday with her.

While we’re visiting, I’ll be working on more crocheted dishclothes so I can keep my sanity. LoL

Got these beauties coloured up this morning. Not sure if I want to add more colour to the butterfly or not

[LadybugsAndBees (Barbara)]

You are a crafting machine, L2L! Of course I have to ask, who made the crocheted blanket on your bed, and who made that gorgeous moose wall quilt? eyes popping out of head

[Lynx (In a world where you can be anything, be kind.)]

I made the crochet blanket (v-stitch) and quaggy made the wall hanging! She really spoiled me (as she does).

[LadybugsAndBees (Barbara)]

I thought I recognized the wall quilt as a quaggy creation!

[Edel]

@Lynx wow the quilt turned out really well. It looks fabulous, the colour choices are great. Well done you.

15/29 … yesterday I was so busy playing with my oldest grand daughter (18 months) that I almost forgot to craft. Sitting in bed I turned on a podcast and crocheted for 20 minutes before falling asleep. Whew, that was close to missing a day

[Lynx (In a world where you can be anything, be kind.)]

I think traveling to visit the grandbabies gives you a pass, but way to fit some time in anyway!

[calluna]

Before you know it, you’ll be crafting alongside one another! That may take the form of play-doh, finger paints, and crayons for a while, but she’s bound to get curious about your own skills as she grows. Creative time with grandma will be such fun early memories for her.

Finished my fabric twine wreath today! I would love to make flowers for it but that will have to wait until tomorrow if I have time… I have to work today since tomorrow I have to go get my driver’s license (new state)…

Thanks @Lynx for the tutorial and the push! It is going to look great on my front door!

[Lynx (In a world where you can be anything, be kind.)]

It looks so awesome!!

[calluna]

It is totally Van Gogh Starry Night, with all the little color flecks and nuances!

[geekgirl]

Love the colors!

[Lynx (In a world where you can be anything, be kind.)]

Well, crafty thing fail. I tried to make a cute hanging thing for my crazy collection of rubber duckies. However, I didn’t look at pictures for hole placement, so even though it looks cute, it is top heavy and back to the drawing board as we may move the duckies.feom their crazy perch on the kitchen window to the laundry room on a small long shelf instead.

I should have done two holes on each side and not 3 holes, all centered. Cute, but doesn’t work.
