Gonna have a little moment here: first draft of a flying squirrel in-the-hoop plushie (on the embroidery machine that made it, because my light box is full of junk).

Most of the commentary is going to be in the alt text (as usual) so I don't fill your TL with a wall of nonsense about pattern drafting.

TL;DR: it's definitely just a first draft.

Oh hey, I have new followers who have not seen the kawaii toadstool folks, and so will have no point of reference for me going "I made a yellow cupcake toadstool person with chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles!"

Anyway, Spoonflower has a 50%-off fat quarter sale, so you too can buy sprinkles minky (or other fabric) to make, I dunno, probably more normal things than I do: spoonflower.com/collections/51

A dozen donuts!

(Apparently "an embroiderer's dozen" is sixteen because I still need to make vanilla with chocolate frosting.)

Made three more pages today. The little shoe and the garden are my favorites so far. Now I should probably go outside or something.

Made the first page of a quiet book tonight. Haven't been in the craft room all week. This felt good to do. I love how cute the 🐛 is and the butterfly turned out fun. I am hoping to have this done to give for valentine's day but we'll see. It may end up an Easter gift

I made an eye mask today. Working with cuddle fabric is so messy. It looks like it snowed by my sewing machine. 😂

Today's crafting while I ignore what is happening in Iowa City. This will be my summer bench pillow. I hadn't actually intended to make this one but I got a good deal on the kit. I am glad I got it. It's cute.
