I'm watching the recording of class I missed out on last week, before I have class tonight.

I also need to finish a queen-sized blanket before the end of April.... so I'm crocheting while I watch class. I don't think I'm going to finish it in time. It's only half done. Oh well she might end up getting a large lap blanket instead.

An embroidery for my folks’ 40th anniversary. Backing is improv crumb quilt, and once I found the bird for the appliqué I improvised the embroidery all around it.

For 2023 I’ve challenged myself to create a button book every week. Hoping this will push me to create throughout the year rather than occasional bursts.
For week 1 I’ve taken the first stanza of one of ee cummings’ poems.

anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did.
