@patter, your fabric ribbons are awesome. I love the style. I am a serious fabric scrap hoarder, and love seeing uses for them. I have been fiddling about with some raw edge fabric collage, but nothing finished yet. teri, your purses are amazing. J love the fabric and colour combos. My mom just got an industrial Juki and I am a little jealous  |

destined2bmom , that wreath is beautiful. It's very Beltane Spring Chic, and makes me want to frolic, preferably in fields of lavender!

One in fall colors like army green, burnt orange, cranberry and maybe a deep mustard, and a black one with purple and maybe a little lime green or turquoise would be cool too.  |

Somehow I didn’t get around to posting much during March, so this is a catch up post. I finished one pair of socks, and started on another. Love them both.  Finished pair.  Still working on these, but I am a bit further on than this now. You girls and your socks ❤️ These are terrific, and make me green with envy! I wish I had the patience and skills of you and Lainey....and any other sock maker I missed. |

Love these! I really should make some cards like that first set to just randomly drop a note to brighten someone’s day. I love that paisley embossing especially. |

Wrong season for these Festive Friends but I had wanted to make them for a while. I’ll give them to my mom for Christmas. She loves receiving them as much as I like making them.  Those are adorable! Can you give them before Christmas so that your mom can enjoy them all season long?!? |

I just saved this in my favorites. Wow! Is all I can say. I wouldn't even know where to begin choosing colors. Besides the fact that I don't yet have the skills for that project...yet, I thought the same thing as you. It’s is WOW. ETA: sorry for all my posts in a row. I’ll try and knock it off for today. It’s difficult for me to quote multiple posts when using my iPad. Y’all have had a beautifully productive month though! |

Hello crafters! I haven’t checked in in awhile so I got the treat of scrolling through all your beautiful photos! I’ve finished my Sophie’s Universe and started on a Nuts About Squares blanket (I guess I like to do a CAL several years after the rest of the world!) I also started a Namaqualand blanket but set it aside because I’m loving working on the Nuts About Squares.    I said I wouldn't quote again on this thread today (I’m sorry if it’s annoying!), but really....there’s no way I couldn't! I’ve been working on basic, one color each hexes out of scrap yarn in anticipation of graduating eventually to projects like these |

phoenixcov wow - great job on the house and all your makes. I’ve had the house pattern for a while but haven’t got round to it yet. I know it’s going to be time consuming. I made Ottoline and the sailor dress for my mom for Mother’s Day. Did you see Hamish the Highland Cow is available for preorder? He’s very cute, but I think I could probably make him without the pattern. I made a Luna in grey velour today but as it’s stretchy, she’s a bit over stuffed. I’ll make her outfit tomorrow. I’ve also been Making Marmalade from Simone Gooding’s book which is very cute:)

Thanks muggins.
In hindsight I should not of sewn the actual bag by hand as I had to do each seam at least twice with double thread to make sure it was strong enough.
Enjoyed doing the applique and made little bees and Ladybirds that don`t really show up in pics.
I did see Hamlisch and no doubt my cow loving DGS will nag me to make him one.
I love the thought of a chubby Luna, will put one on the to do list.

phoenixcov holy cats you! The house! The wee hedgehog! Ottoline and her dresses! And then that picture of the whole crew. All I can think about is a nap on that bed surrounded by the crew! I'd be in heaven. Will you please leave everyone's outfits out so that while I'm supposedly napping I can change their clothes! ETA muggins , I wouldn't mind a nap at your mom's house as well. And further ETA I'm looking more closely at my napping spot phoenixcov, and I see crew I don't think I've seen before. Red squirrel, badger and is that a piglet next to red squirrel. Oh, and I would be happy to know what their proper names are. 😁

Thank you phoenixcov. Umm I think you forgot someone, I don't see a name for the pink bunny with the collared dress. Is her name perhaps Beatrice? |

Yes you are right malibou I did forget the unnamed pink mohair bunny who is now called Beatrice or Bea for short.  |

phoenixcov thank you for letting me name her. This must be my month for naming. My nephew recently told me that he and his wife are naming their baby girl, due next month, for me. Oh my the tears shed over that honour.

phoenixcov so, so cute! I just love them and their little house. You are so talented. I know they are precious but I can only imagine my 6 year old self being so delighted with something like that. I was a child with a good imagination. I would have loved to come over to Auntie Phoenixcov house to play with those.

I’m only so-so with written patterns, but the Sophie and the Nuts About Squares have amazing, detailed video tutorials and I relied on them. |

I've been making stuff for my junk journal, it's seriously addictive! These are journalling cards to go inside a little file folder made from envelopes, the envelopes still need decorating.
