2 days work and I've now mostly got a hoodie for my niece! I need to sew it together and add the hood, bottom cuff and pocket, which I'm hoping to finish tomorrow

Ahoy mateys! Just conquered the high seas and completed this epic Flying Dutchman 3D wooden puzzle! This intricate pirate ship was a true test of patience (and rum-drinking skills ) but the final result is a treasure to behold.

Crafting update/crafting forecast!
Short term:
- I’ve made more progress on the floral crumb quilt (super fun, but going to take a while)
- I’m going to embroider “fleece navidad” next to that tiny embroidered alpaca and turn it into an ornament
- I’m going to crochet a tiny rainbow stegosaurus! That’ll probably be this afternoon
- probably another Halloween something?
- probably more embroidered flowers
Longer term (aka holiday crafting):
- a chicken
- a binosaur
- a dinosaur (yes those are two separate projects)
- something octonauts themed??????
- something for my nieces (no idea what though)
- minecraft quilt (for the kidlet I used to babysit! :D)
- oh I might make my nieces beanies!! one a unicorn and one a cat
- a crocodile
- either a griffin, a cockatrice, or a cat in a fancy outfit. I have not decided yet
- necklace chains for some pendants
- four memory teddy bears
Even longer term (aka stuff for the MTH charity auction, which has bidding next week):
- another crocodile (this one will be crocodile Loki)
- a Bucky Bear or Winter Soldier Bear
- possibly more! I added tiers this year so I might make up to two plushies for each of three auctions (the first Jeff the Land Shark is already done)

Emptied and moved the shelves (after dismantling the anchors holding them together), got the rug in place, and now I'm working on putting everything back. There will be some amazing bruises on my arms tomorrow, as well as the toe that I crushed. I've got a few more changes that I'm thinking about before I'm done for the day (also still need to run over to my mother in law's place but she doesn't wake up until late so I'm not rushing).

Hobby Hoppers Express: Decoupage & You
The Hobby: Decoupage (French for "cutting out" ): This centuries old hobby and art form involves using tools such as a brayer, scissors, synthetic polymer brush, sealer, crafting knife, burnisher, cutouts (usually paper but fabric can be used too), and lots of glue. You glue your paper cutouts onto a surface of your chose using a variety of tools and techniques, and then apply the needed sealer for the project.
The Book: Stuck On Murder (A Decoupage Mystery #1) by Lucy Lawrence
The Book Blurb:
"In the small New England town of Morse Point, Brenna Miller glosses over her painful past by watching her decoupage students create eye-catching projects out of cutouts, glue, and varnish. But when the mayor's body is found stuffed in a trunk at Morse Point Lake, it's up to Brenna to clear her enigmatic landlord's name of murder-before his fate is signed, sealed and delivered."
The Project: Decoupage Flowerpot
My Book Thoughts:
I got Stuck on Murder because I have cozy mysteries and to be honest I had never heard of decoupage until checking out this book. Yet I gave great tips about decoupage projects so much so that I wanted to try my hand in this super old hobby that even Marie Antoinette did from time to time.
I checked Lazy Crafternoon out from my local library and I love how cute the projects are and how many I already have a lot of the supplies for and I will say the crafts are very late 90s/early 2000s.
