Very pretty @Former-Member I can't imagine threading my hair through beads to do that! That looks very difficult. 

Your journal is an artwork in itself @Bubbles3

Started another shower cloth last night, this one is for my flat mate. It's a nice small project I can take with me today to keep me occupied while waiting for them at the doc too. So it works for me right now. 

Craft hugs to you all. (is that a thing? can it be a thing?)

@Former-Member youu made me giggle ❤ you plait the hair and then wrap the sting around and you add the beads/feathers to the string:) i think adding beads to ya hair id give up quick smart! You can do pattern ones but takes a bit longer.
I hope your project goes well today ❤❤

@Former-Member Oh, well, shit, how about that!??!!  I did not know that!  

Now I'm laughing at myself. Gawd, how could I not have known that????

Hi @Former-Member. Your bath mat is awesome and your work is so neat! Thank you for sharing ❤

I hit a strange point when I finished my second mandala blanket. I now find myself lost quite quickly when I finish something I have made. Having such a big ongoing project meant there was always something that felt right to pick up if I wanted and it feels strange not to have that. That floaty feeling you mentioned at endings happening - I feel it too. In saying that, I am enjoying being able to work through the never ending list of want to make one days. This is one never ending list I am a big fan of having 😉

LOVE that vest! I would be scared to wear it if I made something like that haha! This is what I have been working on.

The challenge will be to make two similarly sized enough that they will work. I will get squishy mini teeny tiny one snuggles from someone having a baby at the kids school soonish which I am so looking forward to! I would have loved to have known how to crochet when mine were teeny.

Thank you for the smiles you give Sunshower 🌞💙 (I had a lovely image of you at school with alyssum in the garden too 😊) Craft hugs are totally a thing (now at least 😁)

They're awesome @Former-Member! Do they stay in very long? How fun!

Hope you're finding your journaling feels good for you @Bubbles3 ☺

@CheerBear you can leave them i for up to six months if they are wrapped tightly and good enough 🙂 it is fun but also quiet fiddly sometimes!

That bootie is simply gorgeous @CheerBear I've seen the patterns on Ravelry and have done a trial of the Crocodile stitch, it's so effective on those boots. That yarn is superb too. Thank you for your lovely comments too. 

Are you going to try to match the yarn changes ont he next one or just let it fall where it will? Your work is beautiful CheerBear, really even. What is that yarn if I may ask?

I need to reward myself with something a wee bit special after the day I've had, which has followed the week of horror, and that is the first thing I've seen that might tempt me. 

I'm making the vest out of an acrylic yarn in multi coloured fawn to brown shades, I got it and a sister colour in mulberries for shawls, but then I decided I didn't want another shawl, so decided to do this vest. I'll 'iron the life out of the acrylic' to set it when it's done. (can't use the technical term for that) that way it won't stretch out of shape and can be washed in the machine too. 

I was like that with 'special' clothes, like they were 'too good' to wear, then i decided to just wear 'em, that's what I made 'em for! LOL 

Oh, my list of things I want to make! Just keeps on getting bigger. It's not even like that bath mat was very big, in the scheme of big things, I think it just coincided with all those other endings to be honest. 

I sewed more than crocheted the baby and kiddie things I think. Did crochet around face washers and stuff like that for baby gifts and such. I sewed pretty much all their clothes for many years, even little sandals for the girls. Living in the outback was a creative blessing in some ways. Big town living now is so different, and online shopping, how I love it. 

I'm so glad I can make someone smile @CheerBear and @Former-Member (I'm still giggling about threading hair through beads ... ) 

I might try a hair wrap now Taya, how cool would that look in old lady waist length gray hair! I'll have to think about that, but if it stays for months even with washing .... I'll probably chicken out though. 

Hello @Snowie I'll pop across and check out your thread soon @Bubbles3 

Now that it's a thing Craft Hugs for everyone!  hope all your crafty things are bringing you comfort and joy.
