Wow, I skipped alot of days!
On Day 12, I baked some cupcakes. They looked so pretty, with pink frosting and sparkles, but they didn’t taste so good, oh well. I’ll try a different recipe next time. I did take pictures of them, but my old memory card decided to die on me, so they’re gone.
Ok, so in no particular order, because I can’t remember when I did what, here’s the rest of my Things, with photographic evidence.

I finished crocheting the bag on the right. The one on the left is almost finished, too.
That is a piece of a fabric I’ll be using to line my colorful crochet bag. As you may have guessed, many Sharpies were harmed in the process.

I did some minor changes to some jewelry I’d made recently. The necklace on the left can now be worn as a bracelet, too. And this purple one had the straps changed.

I also made this cute pink bangle.
And lastly, I fused plastic bags! It was my first attempt, and it’s not too shabby! Now, what willI make with them?? Hmmmmm…

On Day 9, I baked cookies. Some heart shaped and others flower-shaped. Oh, no! There’s a cookie missing! Where could it have gone?? munch… munch…

On Day 10, I decorated them with rolled buttercream.

Today, I made this bangle bracelet. I think it looks fun.

And for my next trick, I will be making cupcakes from scratch!

I mean really catching up! I’ve posted only one thing, but I have been crafting all these days, so here’s everything in brief:
Day 2 and 3: We left town, but I started to crochet a purple purse in the car. On Day 3 I started the yellow part. Next will be pink, I think.

Day 4: Don’t remember doing anything crafty. Didn’t crochet on the car ride home.
Day 5: I went to art class and retouched the flames on the heart I’m painting. Good thing I’ll always have something to show on Tuesdays!

Day 6: I started painting some onesies for a friend’s baby.

Day 7: Ifinished Day 6’s onesies and wrapped the gift. That’s crafty, right?

Day 8: Today I cooked! I made this mustard and chile chicken, over whole grain rice. It’s waiting for me to finish this post so I can eat it. It tastes better than it looks.

Thanks for looking!

Hi, everyone!
I made this on Jan. 31, but am posting it today (actually I’ll be posting twice today) because I’ll be away this weekend, and don’t want to miss my things-a-day!
So, about the purse… I had already crocheted it last week, but hadn’t lined it. I’m still a lining newbie so it took me a while, but it came out alright. I really like it.

Hi! I’m really excited to start this Thing-a-day! It’s gonna be a very productive February!
