I made two of these little road play mat quilts with some super cute fabric! It was basically just a whole cloth quilt and I FMQ, stitching the outline of the road. It was SO MUCH FUN! There’s something so delightful about FMQ and I have a great time no matter how sloppy the stitched come out.

One is going to my friend’s daughter and one is going to my son :) I always wanted a road rug as a kid so hopefully they get some good use out of them.

I’m so close to being finished with Christmas gifts now! I have one more tote to do and that’s IT slayyyyyy I really didn’t think I’d get them done in time!

Had to pause with the book stuff to make a few Christmas presents for the younger kids. You can do some pretty cool stuff with an old 2x4 and some left over leather scraps. My eldest made them all matching Dunedain cloaks to go with their swords. They'll be quite the crew.

Updated Kinsey Scale - 9-1-1 edition

Crafting Christmas presents for chaotic pen pal fandom friend. We were discussing how literally everyone on the 9-1-1 cast is insanely hot, to us, as bisexuals. And since we are Girls(?) in STEM we started collecting data on this phenomenon by quizzing our friends on who they found attractive.

An updated Kinsey scale (gay firefighter Edition) was born! I have now turned it into a physical product for my friend.

It can also be used as a top trumps type card game (sort of. 11 cards isn’t quite enough, but can be updated in future).

Really wanna make my cats one of those crochet pet couches. But I know it would take a good long while and I'm trying to work on Christmas gifts for ppl rn cus I have SO MUCH YARN in tons of colours, but not a lotta money for extra things lol.

Thrifted some cookie cutters to do those Lil, cookie mix in a jar gift sets. Found a sugar cookie, gingerbread and a chocolate chip (which won't cookie cutter very well but shhhh lol).

Hats n scarves are also on my list to catch up on for a Lil donation drive with the church my grandmother goes too. I have some already made n more chunky yarn to do tons more. I also have a bunch if Misc. Granny squares so I might do some patchwork blankets just for funsies as back up gifts for a few others if I can't decide what else to give them (but they're gonna be important ppl cus blankets take SO LONG).

Thinking I'm gonna make my mother a long striped scarf but haven't found a fun but simple repeating pattern for texture yet. I've been makin crochet projects off n on the last almost 17yrs, but super detailed stitch patterns still hurt my brain sometimes lmao. Might just do a spike stitch cus the end result is pretty cute and it's fairly easy to repeat. The other option I think was an alpine stitch? Looks like little trees! But I've not made a full project with it before so idk if I wanna make a full scarf with that on a time crunch... if anyone has some good repeating crochet stitch patterns lemmie know lol. I thought of trying to knit it, but I haven't done as much knit recently. So I'd basically have to relearn how to knit in general to try that one lmao.
