Thing-A-Day February Craftalong 2020

@AIMR Yes, I want to make a patchwork jumper. I’m counting each ‘patch’ as a finish, it’ll help keep me motivated :grinning:
I explain it all, along with the inspiration, on my blog www.fibreallsorts.wordpress.com

As anticipated, the thing I am doing today is cleaning up. Sigh. Big job. Boring too.

Yesterday was a blur so I’m posting Day 1&2 together.

Yesterday, I made a couple of zippered pouches.

Today, I have lunch prepped for this coming week. I made stir fried chicken and veggies.

I’m thinking about making some pumpkin spice bread in a few. :grin:

I’ve been continuing to work on my manila folder journal …

I had initially thought I’d do a stand-alone drawing/painting every day for this craftalong, even just a sketch, but I think I also want to finish this. I guess it’s still playing with colour, paint and pencils anyway. I chose a creative encouragement kind of theme.

Today I made some twinchie and inchie bases by playing around on a full sheet and then cutting it up.

Inchie bases

And my favourite four inchie bases

Isn’t it cool how something large can look so different on a tiny scale? The details just stand out…nice work!

Nothing finished today, but I did smear some paint around a couple of languishing masterboards a la @geekgirl’s Masterboards: A Walk-Through / Tutorial to great effect.

I was hoping to get one practical thing done and one fun thing done…

Here is what I got done…a much needed pop of color in my guest bathroom…I made a valance out of some fabric I bought to match my sea green towels…I didn’t have enough so I had to line it to keep it at about 15 inches long…took me way too long for such a simple thing, but I also cleaned and did stuff between…

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 i’ll try to do a small “finish in one go” project to get a nice instant gratification craft glow on a Monday no less. :slight_smile:

Oh this is nice.

I’m 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.

That’s 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. I’m one row from finishing the pattern but it’s no where near as large as it’s supposed to be nor as the picture shows so I’m going to keep going until it’s proper.

Keep on going…a few rows here and there will get it done…!
