Show your (craft)work

Incorporating hobbies, computer games, Verm's Interesting Links and anything else you can think of excluding football and other spectator sports because these belong in the Sport section, but allowing sports you play yourself with your own body as that counts as a pastime.

My snood is a disaster. I've sewn up the ends and it barely fits over my head twice which was the plan. :mog:
I was going to do an edge border to try and neaten it up but honestly I can't be bothered now so I'm going to abandon it and start something else. :))

I started cutting out for a couple of practice blocks* for Tom’s minecraft quilt. So fiddly, but nothing compared with the instructions for the sword, which has 89 pieces for a 12.5” block! Assuming the blocks work, I’ll make them into a drawstring bag for him.

* a TNT block and a Steve block.

These are so lovely Baa. How are your hands this steady?!

I sold my first thing on etsy to someone I don't know! I'm thrilled. She sent such a lovely message too :love:

A set of three tea light holders, a bit like the ones Pip bought from me a few weeks ago, but in another colour. I've sold some other bits through etsy and on FB (including to a couple of other turtles, who are very kind) but this is the first to a stranger!

That’s great, smal!

Cutting accurately to an eighth of an inch obviously is not my strength today. I’m not happy with the errors on these, but I think they might make a drawstring bag (one each side and a green band above and below).

That’s great news smal! You must be chuffed.

I know nothing of Minecraft but they look good rosy.

Elvis got her mug cosy finally, and I was messing about with squares so a doll has a blanket.

My thumb is no longer bloody and my buttons arrived so I might aim to finish my cardigan this weekend.
