Day 21

I was in throes of a PEM event yesterday. I wound some yarn to relax and not tax my brain too much.

[ID: Three different skeins of variegated cotton yarn tied for washing. End ID]

Day 21

It was a busy day, and once I finished the last event on my calendar, I started to feel not so good; I had a fever. :/ At least I made some good progress on the (hated) backstitch on the mouse...

Working with the last of my bigger slides, used them as actual slides, since I had these silver arrows to fill out the necklace with 😄

We're finally nearing the end of the month of birthdays in my house, and this one's a doozy, because there are two birthdays on the same day. My twins opted to celebrate on different days, so it did spread the work out a tiny bit.

Day 19

I baked cupcakes for K, for their birthday dessert.

Day 20

I made strawberry frosting, with real strawberries, for K's cupcakes. Here are the frosted cupcakes (I did not apply the frosting. :)

[ID: 13 cupcakes with pink frosting. End ID]

I baked Bread for K's birthday dinner (which was lobster bisque and grilled cheese sandwiches on "soured" dough bread).

[ID: A short loaf of bread. End ID]

Day 21

I baked a strawberry cobbler for F's birthday; I didn't take the cobbler out of the oven, so I only got a pictures of what was left:

[ID: A clear plastic bowl containing a small amount of strawberry cobbler. End ID]

And I also knitted 8 rows on a new baby hat

[ID: A purple knitting loom with 8 rows of pink knitting. End ID]

Day 22

This was a big rest day for me as I spent so many hours on my feet the previous two days. I played a lot of video games, and I knitted 7 rows on the baby hat.

[ID: A purple knitting loom with 15 rows of pink knitting. End ID]

I think I am all caught up now!

This time period was stupidly busy because it was the Kids' birthday and the other driving parent was gone so I had to shuttle the other kid to activities.

Day 19

We celebrated the kids' birthday a bit early, since one of them would be away for the actual day. I made a double batch of oatmeal cookies as one kid's dessert:

I also made a double batch of chocolate chip cookie dough for the other kid, to be baked the next day:

I fixed a kid's broken chain clasp:

[ID: 2 photos of a black chain, the first with a broken silver clasp and the second with a new, whole, silver clasp attached. End ID]

I think I also knitted about 5 rows on a baby hat, but forgot to take a photo.

Day 20

I washed 4 skeins of yarn:

[ID: 4 just-washed skeins of yarn of various colors draped over hangers and hung out to dry on a porch beam. End ID]

And made 4 1/2 center-pull yarn balls. The one skein of yarn that's tangled mess is the one that gave me so much trouble getting into a skein for washing.

[ID: 4 center-pull balls of yarn in various colors, and a half-ball wrapped on a cardboard nostepinne, on top of a tangled mess of pastel variegated yarn. End ID]

And I baked a couple of pans of chocolate chip cookies, of which I forgot to take a photo.

Day 21

This day was really quite busy, so all I had the energy to do was bake a couple of pans of chocolate chip cookies (of which I forgot to take a photo), and work on winding the current center-pull ball of yarn. Unfortunately, the yarn got caught on something, and broke, so I'll just wind a second ball of this yarn.

[ID: A center-pull ball of pastel variegated yarn on a cardboard nostepinne, with a tangled mess of the same pastel yarn to the right. End ID]

Day 22

I knitted the last 13 rows on the baby hat:

[ID: 25 rows of white/yellow/orange/pink/blue/purple variegated yarn knitted on a purple round loom. End ID]

And then finished the hat completely. I liked how the yellow bits of the yarn formed almost a lightning bolt. (I didn't plan that!)

Same old story... thankfully, I have an orthopedist appointment on Thursday!

Day 20

It was my kids' birthday! I made them nice birthday cards within my limited drawing capabilities, which they liked, but are a bit personal for me to post.

I made them simple, but decadent cupcakes with double buttercream frosting for their birthday dessert; the pic shows the ones that didn't get frosted but got put in the freezer for later.

Day 21

After a somewhat tiring previous day preparing a birthday feast, I opted for starting yet another low-spoon headband (but the last of this skein); I knitted about 54 rows.

Day 22

Day 22 was a bad day painwise; I did manage to finish off the headband I started on day 21, but neglected to take a picture, and now, it's mixed in with all the other headbands.

Day 23

Another not-great day and full of chores to boot. I saved my crafting streak by "finding" (it's been sitting on a chair in my dining room for months) K's dress that needed some mending - some shiny rhinestone cupchain at the neckline had some loose, and I fixed it, and also sewed up a seam elsewhere that had come undone.

Day 24

I worked on the 2019 Mystery SaL, while trying to master the art of listening to audiobooks. After a bit of time, it seems that I can listen to audiobooks while crafting, as long as the work is not too complicated, because anything complicated makes it hard to listen. Now, I just have to remember to stop the book when crafting gets complicated. At least, the app I'm using has a 15 second rewind.

Day 25

More 2019 Mystery SaL while listening to a few chapters of an audiobook; I think it's getting a little easier.

OMG, I move in FIVE DAYS! And my Babies turned 10 this week!

Day 16
I had a dental anesthetic hangover following the day of my dental work and anesthetic fog, so no crafting.

Day 17-18
I was forgetful, so this pic is a to-fer.

"Behind on posting" should be my middle name...

Day 20

My little girls turned 9! For their birthday celebration, they helped me make a yellow cake with pink frosting and a strawberry-blueberry cobbler. I forgot to take a picture before the desserts were both half-eaten.

I also sorted out that bag of estate sale embroidery fiber and got them sorted out by type, including mess...

Day 21

I sorted out the mess of tangled fibers on my desk, aided by a pair of sharp pointy scissors. (not shown)

I dusted off my sewing machine from a weeks-long hiatus, and sewed a couple of bags to hold humidity-lowering rice in our new beardie's enclosure and I also sewed some more mask pieces (not shown).

I got some work done on my SaL when I finally was able to attend my weekly Stitch-In.

Day 22

Crazy day. Towards the end of the day, I redid one kid's headphone covers, because she said that she couldn't hear through the foam. Hopefully, third time is the charm...

I have been crafting daily, but I haven't had much of a chance to sit down. Project 2 for my Thursday class involves making some sort of ornamentation. It can be jewelry, ornament on canvas...etc...so I'm looking at soutache. It started snowing here, so I don't know if I'll be going out later to get some large focal beads or cord. I still have plenty of other beads.

Watch on YouTube

I think I hate the posting part of this challenge, if I'm being honest...

Day 22

I mostly played catch-up with household stuff, and didn't do any arting or crafting.

Day 23

I put back in the section in the cross stitch that I had to frog on Monday.

Day 24

Hey, some more cross stitch!

Day 25

My local Joann store moved, and had a grand opening sale. I picked up some Halloween-themed beads (like I really needed MORE beads!) and made some Mother/Daughter earrings!

Day 26

A HUGE crafting day today!

I baked and crumb-coated a cake for the birthday party...

And then I started to deal with the costume for K. K had sworn up and down that she'd help, but hasn't wanted to for the past two weeks. I finally got out the material anyway, and she stayed with me for about 10 minutes, before deciding that this was all boring and went back to watch tv. I suppose it's typical for an 8 year old, but I was, and am still, annoyed. I got a long-sleeved shirt from last year to build the costume on, cut a few things on it, ironed on an embellishment, and cut a bunch of yellow strips of material (of which I think I am eventually going to hate dealing with).

Day 27

Unfortunately, F came home sick with a fever from her lesson on Saturday. We waited until the morning to see how she was, and she still had a fever, so we had to postpone the kids' birthday party. That gave me a bit more time to redesign K's costume in my head about a dozen times before deciding that even though the costume looks like a dress in the pictures, I do not have the required skills to make it a dress in reality. So I'm making it a top and skirt. K was pissy when I wanted to do some sizing stuff, and I almost gave up on making this for her. She also wanted to help again and but only stayed about 5 minutes when it became very clear that I wasn't going to let her run the sewing machine by herself. So I finally got the base skirt sewn, except I didn't leave a hole in the casing for elastic, and that's when I knew I needed to stop.

It's been a tough day at work. More knitting and Netflix is in the cards! Here's a progress picture. I love the yarn. It's called Copehagen and looks like it belongs in Ponyland. We're starting to run out of daytime around 5:30, so stay tuned.

Still dealing with post root canal pain, but at least when I saw my regular dentist on Tuesday, he prescribed more pain meds.

Still trying to catch up on Week 1 of Steotchalong 6.

Day 22

Day 23

On all of the days but the 26th, I worked on 99 a little.

I uncrafted on the 26th; I bought a bead loom last month and had a few rows done on it. I had some issues getting things right, and on the 26th, I took all the beads off so that I could start over.

ladythmpr

3 days of week 7 of the Mystery Stitchalong and a foray into baking...

Day 19

Day 20 - My twins birthday! We had the family birthday celebration, and I spent the morning baking their cakes and a double batch of brownies for their School Fall Fest. I forgot to take a picture of the pristine cakes; this picture is after 10 people attacked them.

Day 21

Day 22

I didn't get much done today because I've come down with a nasty cold.
