I love this so much, the colours and theme are both beautiful
Today I made some twinchie and inchie bases by playing around on a full sheet and then cutting it up.
Full sheet
Acrylic paint in several colours, silver metallic paint, silver glitter, strip of lace, silver sharpie marker and a little washi tape
Twinchie bases
Inchie bases
And my favourite four inchie bases
Isnāt it cool how something large can look so different on a tiny scale? The details just stand outā¦nice work!
Oooh, those look awesome!! Love the textures!!
@WileESongDog I am very sorry for the loss of your beloved kitty. Pets truly are family.
Your pompons look nice and colorful.
Nothing finished today, but I did smear some paint around a couple of languishing masterboards a la @geekgirlās Masterboards: A Walk-Through / Tutorial to great effect.
I was hoping to get one practical thing done and one fun thing doneā¦
Here is what I got doneā¦a much needed pop of color in my guest bathroomā¦I made a valance out of some fabric I bought to match my sea green towelsā¦I didnāt have enough so I had to line it to keep it at about 15 inches longā¦took me way too long for such a simple thing, but I also cleaned and did stuff betweenā¦
I did my blanket row goal for today and also used my instant pot for the first time with a new recipe for a portobello mushroom stew. Maybe tomorrow iāll try to do a small āfinish in one goā project to get a nice instant gratification craft glow on a Monday no less.
Oh this is nice.
Iām so sorry
Cute llamas. Your lunches look good.
These are cool. I like the addition of lace.
Pretty colors!
I worked more in my art journal and also started a notebook of quotes I like. Using it as a way to practice my lettering.
I finished the last two rows of an afghan thatās been in progress for a couple of years!
Better pics and a real project post tomorrow. For now itās bedtime.
Thatās a nice pop of colour!
That fabric is adorable.
@MistressJennie I look forward to seeing the entire afghan.
For my day 2/29 I added several rows to my shawl. Iām one row from finishing the pattern but itās no where near as large as itās supposed to be nor as the picture shows so Iām going to keep going until itās proper.
Keep on goingā¦a few rows here and there will get it doneā¦!
@Lynx I love the colors you picked for your fabric wreath!
@geekgirl The textures in your art journal are lovely.
@Edel Taco + cocktail = fabulous! Definitely an act of creation! I also laughed out loud at the typo.
The quilt top is lovely.
@jemimah Iām so soothed by the palette of your folder journal, it puts me in a nice clear headspace.
@MistressJennie Cute earrings! You rock for getting all the stuff done! And wow that afghan is a stunner.
@megwell Iām going to have to pick up sweet potatoes this week for those burgers.
@Magpie Ooo are those petals? Wings? Iām always fascinated to see stumpwork in progress, Iāve never tried it.
@calluna I admire the processing feelings through creativity that youāre doing. Thatās some hard stuff thatās so worth it. Sending you some healing thoughts.
@AntBee Way to go for chugging along on a big project! Breaking it down into segments makes it seem much more doable.
@AIMR Iām happy to see you making beauty for yourself! I also find myself thinking back to things Iāve sent away for swaps. Maybe I should revisit some. And that valance looks very well done!
@Cindy My partner is the same way about the salad and Iām the one who always makes it! And good job working on your big project.
@poetrylover828 What a cool looking pattern! Taking that long to finish a project just gives you more satisfaction when itās done.
@WileESongDog Glad to see you here! Your pompoms look like the perfect Doctor Seuss tree tops.
Iām so sorry to hear about your cat. I know you will keep the love you shared in your heart, and for now be gentle with yourself.
@seeuudee Welcome! Brilliant use of those nice pictures. And I love when folks post the whole masterboard along with the cut up parts - itās inspiring!
@GMPNQ Nice cherry block! The jumper sounds like a big project, but fun.
@Bajita Super cute pouches! They look very neat. And nice job on the meal prep.
Gosh there are a lot of us! Iām sure I wonāt be able to keep up commenting on yāallās projects, so if I like your comment just know that Iām proud of your work and Iām so happy youāre here with us.
Aside from making a rather nice sandwich, I started a larger project today thatās been in my mind for a while. I took apart a thrift store shadowbox that was filled with beans, cleaned it up, reglued a few bits, and began on one section. This will be a memory box filled with all the bits I canāt help picking up when Iām out hiking, each one representing a different area.
I think it is cool to repurpose something to make it more relevantā¦you will have fun filling in the shadowbox with stuff that has more meaning for youā¦canāt wait for more progress shots of thisā¦
I just realized I had forgotten to post yesterday. But I worked a little on my shawl again. Itās so big that it takes me forever to finish a row (probably at least 20 minutes if I just did the whole thing) so I donāt usually do a whole row anymore. I lose steam too easily when crocheting to do it for too long.
I understand the feeling. Iām working on a shawl too and one row seems to take forever.
Feb 3rd thingā¦I actually finished it around 2 am this morningā¦I have to clean house today as our property manager is coming over tomorrowā¦donāt want her to freak out seeing my crafting space!
I can tell this is going to be a hard thread to keep up with!
@AcadianDriftwood - What a great thrift shop find! But now Iām curious as to why its previous owner would fill a shadow box with beans - Iām sure thereās a story there.
I have my Things from days 1 & 2 to share.
I also cast on for a sock yesterday. Iāll have to spend some time pondering what sort of progress Iāll need to get through in a day on that project to count it as one of my āmake a thingā things.
