Repost for @Catsandbooks

Hello #LitsyCrafters ☺️ How is your 2024 going so far?

This year I'm crocheting a book blanket! Each color is a different genre and the number of rows is the star rating I gave it. Above is what I have so far!
One of my goals this year is to complete more projects that I've already started.

If you'd like to be added or removed from the #LitsyCrafters tag list let me know.

Sew U: The Built by Wendy Guide to Making Your Own Wardrobe | Wendy Mullin, Eviana Hartman

I went back to the Book Market this morning and found some more good stuff: a guide to altering basic sewing patterns into exactly what you want, a Mucha colouring book I‘ll probably never colour, and 8 opera librettos! I plan to look through them myself, of course, but they‘re mostly a Christmas gift for my dad. He‘s studying German and I think he‘ll find it useful to see the original German text side by side with the English translation.

MeganAnn Just commented on @curiouserandcurioser ‘s post and missed that you are a co-host too! 🤷‍♀️❤️ I would love to join in! I paint (watercolor mostly) and also enjoy embroidery and cross stitch. I dabble in a lot of other crafty things when a specific idea comes to me, but those are the ones I‘d love to work into my life on a regular basis. 2y

aperfectmjk You know what, why not. I primarily do acrylic painting.. not just canvas, but wooden boxes, and rocks. I also do scrapbooking occasionally. 2y

Catsandbooks @MaleficentBookDragon @Pageturner1 @seibelsays @MeganAnn @aperfectmjk SOOO Happy to have y'all join us! I can't wait!! 🎨🎉✨ 2y

Larkken Good idea, I‘d love to join! I knit, crochet, embroider, and bulletjournal (what? It‘s totally a craft 😅) 2y

Catsandbooks @Larkken Bullet journaling is 100% a craft! Cause I do it too and I totally count it as something creative! Mine is a hodgepodge of whatever I need lol 2y

Butterfinger I'd like to join. I knit and want to start selling, but have no idea how to start. 2y

Larkken @Catsandbooks yes! Sometimes I need a calendar, but sometimes I need an anger scribble, reminder of a good day, or a mindless creative outlet! 😄 2y

Catsandbooks @Butterfinger Yay Tammy! So happy to have you!! 💖 2y

hissingpotatoes I'd like to join! I've done cross stitch/needlepoint, painting (acrylics and recently watercolor), polymer clay, and recently sewing and paper crafts, including bullet journaling. I just love to create anything. 2y

Catsandbooks @hissingpotatoes Perfect! So happy to have you join us!! 💕🎨 2y

Catsandbooks @LitsyEvents 2y

slategreyskies I‘m in!! I do watercolor & acrylic painting, but I lean mostly toward watercolor lately. I also make jewelry and beaded Christmas ornaments. I play in my art journal, collaging and painting in it. I make altered books and/or create my own from materials like Kraft-Tex paper and fabric. I‘m sure there‘s something I‘m forgetting, but I‘m not sure what it is. I guess I like to mix it up. :) 2y

Catsandbooks @slategreyskies Excellent! Glad you'll be joining us! ☺️ 2y

wanderinglynn This sounds awesome! I do a variety of crafts: cross stitch, draw, watercolor, acrylics, pottery (when I have a studio I can use), calligraphy. I also get the Adults & Crafts box with a new craft every month. I love trying new things. 2y

Catsandbooks @wanderinglynn ooo that box sounds fun! Great to have you! ❤️ 2y

Pigpen_Reads I'd like to join. I crochet and want to do more of it next year. 2y

BennettBookworm I‘d love to join! I enjoy crafting of alllllll kinds and making art every day 😍 I‘ve never listened to many audiobooks but I‘d be eager to have recommendations from other Littens about good audiobooks for crafting! 2y

Catsandbooks @Pigpen_Reads fantastic! Glad you're joining us! 🧡 2y

Catsandbooks @BennettBookworm while we think audiocrafting is awesome it's not a requirement for the group 😊 Happy to have you fellow crafter! 💚 2y

Magpiegem I would love to be involved in this please. I mainly do crafts with sea glass or driftwood I collect but I also like trying new crafts (this year I tried macrame for the first time). 2y

Catsandbooks @Magpiegem sea glass and driftwood- that's so cool!! Glad to have you! 💙 2y

Chrissyreadit I‘m interested! I crochet and attempt papercrafts- I really want to make altered books and book journals 🤞 2y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm This sounds like the perfect way to keep myself accountable. I have a ton of crafty interests that I dabble in, but have the bad habit of constantly starting new projects while unfinished ones collect dust. I‘m mainly into spinning yarn and making miniatures for my dolls. I have a 3D printed ball-jointed dragon doll that still needs painted and assembled. 😅 2y

Readergrrl I‘m interested too!! I love drawing and painting, but I also knit and crochet. I‘ve been dabbling in bookmaking and egg tempura painting too. Recently, I started a cursive and calligraphy club where I teach. (edited) 2y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I pretty much always have a crochet project happening, even if it‘s just for charity donations or the “emergency gift bag.” Happy to craft along with Littens! 2y

kaysworld1 I'm in. I paint 🎨 2y

Crazeedi Sign me up! Papercrafter, seamstress, cross stitcher, journaler 2y

Soubhiville I‘m interested! I do stained glass mostly, but also do some sewing, coloring, and other random projects. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Ooh! I‘m not sure how this would work for me in practice, but I‘m definitely a crafter! I knit, embroider, and (theoretically) sew. *eyes growing mending pile* 2y

Catsandbooks @Chrissyreadit @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Readergrrl @BarbaraTheBibliophage @kaysworld1 @Crazeedi @Soubhiville @Clare-Dragonfly Loving all the different crafts y'all do!! So happy to have everyone join us! 🎨💕 2y

alisiakae I‘d love to be added, but I am more of crafter wannabe 🤣. I would like to get back into cross-stitching, which I did when I was a kid, and I have a Wreck This Journal that is waiting for me to come back to! But lately the most I‘ve been doing is coloring. 2y

Catsandbooks @4thhouseontheleft I've always wanted to try wreck this journal! Glad to have ya! ☺️ 2y

Lindy This sounds fun. I enjoy natural dyecraft, knitting, sewing, embroidery and printmaking. And miscellaneous others. 😊 2y

Catsandbooks @Lindy awesome! Glad to have you! 😊 2y

Lauredhel Sounds great! I often put my current crochet WIP into my book photos. My main craft is crochet; I also make cold process soap, and, from time to time, cheese.
2y

Catsandbooks @Lauredhel Wonderful! I looked at some of your posts, your work is beautiful!! 💕 2y

EH2018 Knitting scarves and crafting with my Cricut 2y

Catsandbooks @EH2018 So fun! Glad you're joining us! 💚 2y

erank58 Just saw this!!! Would love to join 😊 2y

Catsandbooks @erank58 wonderful! Happy to have you! 🎉 2y

erank58 @Catsandbooks Yay!! My main gig is wreath/floral stuff, but I dabble in other things too 🤗 2y

AutumnRLS @Catsandbooks I would love to join! I just picked up crochet, but have knitted for years. I paint by number, cross-stitch, weave, sew, embroider, felt, and will try just about anything that looks fun. 2y

AutumnRLS @Soubhiville I do stained glass too! 2y

Catsandbooks @AutumnRLS Fantastic! So many fun crafts! Happy to have you! 💕 2y

The Best Cook in the World: Tales from My Momma's Table | Rick Bragg

New audiobook locked and loaded and cross stitch is shaping up nicely. Once I get the tree on top of the car done, the only other complicated section is adding snowflakes. Smooth sailing after that! 🎄

I'm skipping right to day 3 🤷‍♀️

I'm a little all over the map with my crafts and hobbies. I enjoy painting, though I don't spend as much time doing it as I would like. I also do photography and scrapbooking. I've made some pinecone and twig crafts. Done some twine wrapped bottles.

Sewing, crocheting, and quilting are all crafts I WISH I could tackle, but just never seem to get into. 😕
