I love that idea! Really a fun way to get a new project started.

Thank you. I had the purple, fucshia and yellow in my stash, so only needed to find the black and whites, and that wasn't too hard. Also picked a floral with similar colors, hopefully it coordinates, but if it doesn't, it won't be a big deal.
This slow-stitch page is to remember my trip to British Columbia. I wanted to show the tall trees, the flowers, the fir cone, the beach with rocks and shells, and the button-theme cupcakes my son and dil had especially made for me. The maple leaf is from my luggage tag. The paper piece top center is from a Tim Horton coffee cup. The proportion isn't exactly right, but with slow-stitch you just enjoy the journey.

I just love your work. These slow stitch are wonderful and beautifully wrought, plus each one tells a story.
Not sure how you display them but hope you do!

I have 5 pages finished and will somehow make them into a book. Have not figured out exactly how yet!
I got sidetracked from making my book to work on this project. It is a pin cushion stuffed with wool and a emery filled with sand. A pocket for scissors and needles. Attached to the old wood with some of my hoarded linoleum nails. It hangs on my cupboard door. I could put seasonal bits in the pocket, too. I love primitive pioneer things.

It looks exactly right! You sure know how to combine a variety different elements for your beautiful pieces!
Guess I shouldn't call it an ark; all my animals are just one. I did think of making a jake turkey, and have a pattern ready to cut out, but don't feel motivated.Very cute but don't you need two?
All your crafts are wonderful. 
That is a mysterious medium to me. Have to look it up.
The pouring is addictive to watch on youtube. The felting is addictive to do. Lol.
Very cool and to sell some also is wonderful
So gratifying to make a sale! I enjoy creating, but it's hard when there is no market. And I rarely give my things to friends/family as I don't want to foist something on them that is a burden.
Selling is tricky, but sometimes it's just finding your market. We have a lot of craft fairs here and some art shows and flea markets. I'm still trying to figure out where I can sell a few pieces. But if you don't sell you need to buy a bigger house eventually because you can't keep it all! My felted things have done ok on facebook marketplace, but my paintings don't. Etsy is good for some people but I don't want to ship anything so I try to keep it local.
Congratulations on your sales, LostandFound! That is wonderful! I think it would be fun to try and also challenging!
I hear you, Marsha! I enjoy drawing and sketching and only give something away if someone asks. Like you, I hate to burden people. Fortunately paper is flat and easy to store a lot in a box!
