I've been trying to get so much done, but with all that has been going on it has been tough to say the least.
Thank you both.
Oh I forgot to add my scrapbook pages. I'll do that later

WTG Ellise! I'm home all day and haven't gotten that much done. LOL
How did you like working with the looms?

Deed, I love the looms, but can't seem to figure out how to use the purple one (long loom) Every time I cast off or knit it it doesn't seem to be tight enough, looks really sloppy and not right. SO I've been using my blue loom for my scarves I have another one going right now, (ran out of yarn I only bought 1 skein of fancy stuff, know now it takes two for an adult scarf!) will post a pic when I am done. I also have a pink hat going on the green loom (nearly finished with it as well). I will start a burgandy one on the Yellow loom tonight.
Do you have trouble with the sizes on them? Like the red is for a child, well it looks too small once you finish the hat. Maybe it is for a toddler?

I love everything. I recognise most of the flowers from the gardening part of the board. I love the coneflowers.
Daniel's hair is lovely.
I especially love the ginger ornaments. Were those made from the applesauce, cinnamon and glue mixture? They turn out really well. Very inspiring.
The bookmark is beautiful. I love the cushions and doilies too.

br the ornaments are called salt dough ornaments and if you aren't careful, they will crack and fall apart. I mix the dough and add the base color (paint) to the dough before I bake them. Then once they cool, I add the details, this time since some needed faces I used the rub on faces (since I can't draw very well.)

You have been very busy, and I lvoe all your projects! The ginger ornaments brought back memories. With Grandma we made either cinnamon ones or ginger ones. I'm going to ask Ma if she still has the recipe. That would be fun to make again. Amber |

Mine are drying at the moment, it was a group effort, Mum, Dad and the two little girls. Dad rolled them with a damp sponge on top. I wouldn't use the extra two tablespoons of cinnamon. Glue might help as well. But they are good, and none were spoilt. They are drying in the oven. It was sweetened apple sauce, so far it doesn't seem to matter.
