 OK Gals! Something wierd is going on with the moderator's avatars! It looks like they're playing tricks on us!!!
No wait... How did I get a tattoo kit?

Dontcha love April Fools.

Love that apron.

[maria isabel]

It took me nearly an hour to figure out the Apri Fools joke, im so slow hahahaha

[alwaysinmyroom]

What??!!

You made that apron AM?  Awesome--maybe I should feature it!!

[BethieB]

betheB, tell me what you think when you check it!

I told you what I think of it on your post, but I will tell you here - it's not that good.  BECAUSE - it is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (I was going to do an April Fool's Day trick and say I hate it, but I just couldn't bring myself to tell that big of a lie.  )  I want to reach through the screen and rub it, it looks so soft and adorable and I love the fur right around her face, it is adorable!  I need to go back and hit "this rock" cause I forgot to do it while I was there, darn it.  It is amazing, and I think that when your kids have grown out of it, you should frame it and hang it on the wall or something, that is an amazing piece of art that you get to look at your kids wearing - I am so impressed!

Also, I did not make a camera pouch, my command decision failed miserably.  BUT, I did start the video tutorials for the toothbrush rugs, I have the first one done and am trying to figure out a good way to show the actual stitching part, it is hard to video something at the right angle, especially when you talk with your hands like I do and keep messing up the shots, lol.

Hope you ladies are having a great crafty day!!

Oh, I dropped by all the new stuff, and it looks fab! Great idea with the rings on the apron, alteredmommy. And veri, your daughter's coat looks so cozy!

To keep myself accountable, here's my list of boards I must add during April, due to swap deadlines or upcoming events:
- Costumes: Completed Projects - water fairy costume (and other costume?) for RT Convention
- Purses, Bags, Wallets: Completed Projects: General - from either of my swaps
- Purses, Bags, Wallets: Completed Projects: Reconstructed - from One for Me, One for You Swap
- Machine Embroidery: Completed Projects - for the Farmer's Market Swap; at least I'm attempting it!
- Stenciling: Completed Projects - shirts for OfM OfY swap
- Exterior Decorating / Yard Art / Gardening: Completed Projects - start work on my container garden

- Paper Crafts: Completed Projects: General?? - book plates for RT Convention signings (does this fit in that board, even though I'm just doing them on the computer and printing on sticky paper?)  
- fascinators for the OfM OfY swap... does it make sense to put htem in Miscellaneous? I've already done Jewellery & Trinkets... or a search brought up some in the Clothing board... what do you think?

Geez, It's going to be a busy crafty month!

A container garden sounds great for a project--I have an old black kettle that needs loving!

I asked a coworker to scan some pics for my scrapbook page and I can't find the email she said she sent me!!!  I need to run by the office to see if she sent it to my office account (which, I cannot access at home due to security!)  UGH

I think I better start looking at the Costumes...I have no ocassion to make a costume, but I think my little nieces would like one!  A fairy sounds lovely!

Okay, speaking of container gardens, I have a question - three weeks ago (way after I'd joined this craftalong) I got four plastic containers and planted them with different seeds and now they're sprouting and looking great.  I haven't posted them because they aren't really 'pretty' - they are way more functional than they are nice to look at.  But, I could post them for the Outdoor board and get it out of the way, right?  Would that count as enough of a project?  To me, it does, but I don't wanna break any rules here...not that there really are anyway, but you know...lol.

Bethie:

I'd say sprouting seeds is a bit iffy as a craft project. Why not leave them for a few months at least until they've grown into something more impressive. Maybe a crafty new planter or trellis will come along in the meantime.

They are actually veggies, the lettuce is coming up beautifully.

I don't really know what I was thinking when I posted this though, I forgot all about our big project coming up this week.  I have an outdoor project that's going to rock.  I'm so excited!
