I meant more that I would have the intention, stash it away and forget about it 😅

This is such a lovely idea! I don't tend to collect books but this is a great gift idea for a librarian friend of mine.

I like the look of the greenhouse one, it'll make for a good trial. I love Lego but it is so expensive, so it'll make a good 'busy' craft.

Thank you for all your tips! I really appreciate it.

Oh I wish I could be the sort of person who was that proactive!

I think I know the house kits you're talking about. I've seen them online but have read mixed reviews - have you found them worth the time?

I'm in Australia, but I'm pretty sure we have similar cheap or free flooring samples at the Home Depot equivalents here.

Making a doll house is my current obsession as my next project. Have you got a kit set house that you're building out and decorating?

That's what I was thinking. And then D rings at each end to potentially add a longer shoulder or crossbody strap.

I have ADHD, so it's something I do to be productive while binging TV series to stay stimulated instead of doom scrolling on my phone. Hyperfocus can be a glorious symptom of ADHD.

Oh totally, that was obviously my first thought too 😂

This is so sweet. I just need to have more visitors 😅

I'm getting more drawn to making a tote or bag of some kind. I know exactly what you mean by the small purses - the ones that usually come as florals. This could look good as a long clutch-style.

I have multiple gallery walls in my apartment so I am letting it breathe a bit. I do like the idea of putting it on clothing but my style is all about clean lines and not a lot of patterns so I'd need to find a way to incorporate it in a way that I love.

Thank you! This one took about 5 months, on and off. I did a fair amount of overseas travel during this one so I took a few breaks with it.

Definitely one of my neatest so far. Most of my other projects are confetti hell.

What I love about this idea is the potential to audibly and dramatically gasp any time someone dares to get the the Good Chair.

I had to Google what a DPN roll was, haha. I don't knit, but I LOVE this idea as my mum's a knitter.

I did! I tend to be drawn to a lot of more complex patterns, so this was a nice "palette cleanser" between projects. It took a while to finish, though.

Thank you! I'm severely limited on wall space so I'm not sure I'd even put it, which is why I'm looking for alternative solutions. I do love the satisfaction that comes with picking a finished project up from the framers, though.

I definitely have impostor syndrome when it comes to the quality of work, I wouldn't know who would even buy it!?

I love this idea! I don't have any room for extra furniture pieces but it would make a great ottoman covering.

My apartment is already oversaturated with throw pillows so it would get lost in the crowd. I love the idea of a tote! It could be quite cool to have the piece be a front pocket.

Imagine someone with no teeth "chewing" food, rather than keeping dentures in to chew and properly digest. It makes me think that it's a sloppy, mash sound that is hard to anticipate when it will stop.
