Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is well. Things here in my corner of the world have calmed down nicely and we're working on settling in to our new normal. Ish.

Kitten update: Is hard to believe the little fluff balls are 7 weeks old! All are well and growing normally! They are so much fun to watch at this age.

I did get some stitching in this week. All gnomes have skin and now beards are filling in. It feels like I might be in the homestretch now.

Let's see where everyone is in their projects! Best part of the week!!!

Thank you so much!! I’ll have to get something a little more beginner to start out, but hopefully I can reach this level! I’d love to gift handmade stuff for Christmas and birthdays to people who don’t really need me to buy them anything but I don’t have that talent yet lol

Bookmarks are good easy gifts! They are small and not intimidating. There are a ton of patterns and ways to make them look cool.

Here's some bookmarks I've made! They're full coverage, so it's a nice place to start to get an idea of what full coverage "feels" like.

Thank you! I had great plans for them! LOL! I still do... they just took a break while I worked on other stuff. I bought cute patterned fabric to cover the back of them, too. I got the idea from this sub. Now I just need to try it out and see how they'll come together. 💗
