Great job everyone! Tommi's is a group participation twichie...I have the full picture to post after everyone gets their package. Question to pose to all! I have extra money from the $10 y'all sent me. Would anyone be interested in forwading the extra money to the next wranger that has a heavier or larger package to mail in the future? (ie: Clay's might also use less than the usual $10) I have about $25 left and I don't feel right keeping it! But if we all save extra $$ we could do a larger/heavier project sometime. I will go with whatever the group decides. P.S. Clay, best wishes for all going well in the hospital...hope you heal fast and get back home soon. |

Thank you for the well wishes! I will go along with whatever the group wants to go with.....cuz I am easy like Sunday Mornin'!! lol |
Hmm, a "group participation twinchie" - I'm intrigued!
I have no opinion about the money, one way or the other. I'll go along with whatever everyone else wants. Oh, I just thought of a suggestion: we could have a "free" project at some point. Just all the wranglers send their extra money to the current wrangler and use that instead of people sending money in for that project. - I also like the idea of a heavier/larger project at some time. |

GeorgiaMa'am 8. 9. 10. "The rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until four months from the latest date that the project was supposed to be due. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. Wranglers must mail out projects within one week of the latest date that the projects were supposed to be due. In addition to waiting four months before being able to join a penpal project, the person who has not met the latest deadline must post directly on the penpal thread within a week of missing the latest deadline stating that they have not adhered to the deadline (reason is welcome to be included or does not have to be) and, most importantly, the date on which they will be able to return to participating in the penpal projects. They must scroll back and add themselves to the bottom of the list of any other participants who have not met the late date for any project for 2023. If that is not done, then the member is welcome to participate in the thread with "thanks" and reps and thread chat but not to participate in any future projects for 2023. The reason for this is personal responsibility, so that we have a running record right on the thread that is easy to refer back to when needed. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules. Example: Bitsy misses the late date for a project. Within a week of that late date she must scroll down and find the most recent list of people who have missed the late date in 2023 and copy that list to a new post and add herself. Bitsy's post would look something like this: 'Sorry, I had the bird flu and missed the late date of 2/21/23. I can start participating in new projects on 6/21/23. I have added myself to the list below: 1. Tony (missed the late date of 1/28/23, able to participate 5/28/23) 2. Bitsy (missed the late date of 2/21/23, able to participate 6/21/23) This rule must be posted in its entirety at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project."

If we're doing the whole participation thing for Tommi's I have a picture of a baseboard heater above hardwood flooring. |
I received my twinchies!
I love Matilda! However, not to sure about her story?? I got #5. Picture of a ceiling fan. I'll need more clues and directions. |
I received my twinchies! Thank you everybody! I'm so excited, I haven't even looked at them yet, just opened the envelope!
Nanners, I didn't get one from Gemme! Did anybody get two? |
Everyone in this group is so clever!
For Tommi's, I got piece #3 - there's a picture of a window, and part of a ceiling fan. |

I will post the entire picture of Tommi’s puzzle on our Facebook page. I forgot how to post pictures on here. I’m glad everyone is getting their Twinchies.
Gemme, next project if you want to participate I’ll send $10 of that money leftover to Clay for yours if you want me to. |

I finally got started on my ATCs! I thought I would never come up with an idea, but one finally came to me. I'm about a third of the way done.
I am also really wishing my craft room was ready now. I am so tired of being crammed onto a corner of the kitchen table, and having to dig through a giant duffel for my supplies. The main obstacle to getting my craft room ready is moving and getting rid of this giant couch that weighs a ton. Me and all of my friends have such bad physical problems - including just plain old-age complaints - that none of us can move it. I think I'm going to have to call one of those "men and a truck" places. |
Great to hear, Georgia Ma'am! I am almost done with mine. I work on them here & there. Having that wound on my arm hindered me somewhat, BUT I kept at it..lol.
First Due Date: 11/22/23 with FINAL due date is 11/29/23. How are the rest of us doing? I am excited to see what you all made! ANYONE need my address, send me a PM...but I think all of you have it, correct? Thanks.... Also, when mailing package sure to tell shipper NO SIGNATURE required, please & thank you! |
I got a big chunk of work done on mine. I can either work good under pressure or I search for more stuff to decorate with when I have time.

I have never done this before and I have to, and that I am truly struggling. I have done three different versions, and none of them look right. I keep looking at tutorials, and I am following what they say to do.
I am very frustrated! Some of it is that I don’t have a lot of craft supplies and tools. I got everything that I thought I needed and I have basic things like scissors and glue and spray, etc. No glitter because I know everybody hates glitter. But, it’s still coming out like a third grader has done it. I’m gonna keep trying… |
Quote:
Keep trying until you get something you're happy with, but please remember - it's supposed to be fun! Don't get frustrated - just go with the flow. And enjoy! |
Quote:
As Georgia said, just keep trying.....work from your heart......some ideas are use leaves you have to make a collage, or if you have birch trees, use peeling bark to make a snowman or something... OR handdraw, or trace if you print a pattern of IE a snowflake, a snowman, or some mix of winter themed ideas....print a winter dish recipe & adorn it with pieces of real leaves.... As I have always said, the point is to have fun with it. Just let go & let it flow.......YOU GOT THIS!! my friend! |
Thank you to both of you for your support and understanding! I feel better now! I’m going to talk with them again tomorrow. I’ll see what I can come up with. And regardless of what the final product is on mailing it to Clay. I refuse to not finish! I’m new at this, and I have to give myself a learning curve.
|
Well, I’m almost done. I’m waiting for something to arrive in the mail so I can add to it and then I’m mailing them off to Clay.
I’m hoping you guys like them. There’s actually a front and back because I ran out of ATC cards. So when I wanted to start over, I had to use the back of some of them. Lol. This is been a good learning experience for me and an eye-opener. I used to do crafts all the time. It’s been ages since I have done any. Things that I have learned since the last time I crafted… 1) eyesight is very important. I wasn’t expecting not to have the same vision as I did in the past. This, of course, played a huge part in my skill level. Lol. 2) the correct tools are also very important. After having not use them and them gathering dust, I decided to give them away a while ago. I advise people not to ever do that! I regret not having all the items that I cherished at one time. 3) common sense goes along way, and I should’ve known this, but don’t drink a soda while you’re doing crafts! I’ll leave it to your imagination as to what happened! 4) I think a little bit of dog hair add character to any craft! Just pretend it’s intentional! 5) perseverance is a character trait, that one builds as one continues a project! 6) don’t throw anything away while you’re working on a project. You could unintentionally throw away a significant part of the next card. Just saying… 7) always make more than what you need so you can select the best to give! |
Clay, mine are in the mail and expected to arrive on Monday!

Also, mine always looks like a preschooler did it, so that beats your stinky 3rd grader all day, every day. |
I need to back away from the craft table. I've decorated the back.
I'm done! Finished! Well except for the missing doodad that should be arriving via the snail mail. |

Can anyone use a 6" x 24" sewing ruler?
I purchased one at Amazon but decided to return it for a refund. Received the refund, but Amazon told me to keep the ruler. I never opened it, so all I have to do is put an address label on the box and drop it off at the post office. I'll pay for postage. Please send me a PM if interested. If not, I'll store it in the garage till the first of the year then I'm tossing it out. I don't like throwing out good items, but I really don't like keeping things I don't need or use. :bow: Edit: On second thought I'll take it to the goodwill if no one wants it. |

Ideas for a dementia patient
Hi Crafty Peeps,
I'd like to ask for your help. As most of you know, my Mom has moderate-to-severe dementia. I have been trying to think of memory tasks that we can do with her, so that we don't have to try to think of stuff to talk about all the time we're with her. She also needs tasks that will help her feel useful. She doesn't talk much any more. She can't really learn to do anything new, or do anything that requires mental effort (like playing games, even if she knew how to play them in the past). Unfortunately, she doesn't knit or crochet or anything like that, but she does color. Some ideas I have found online and that I have thought of are: - clipping coupons from the newspaper; - rolling out dough and cutting out dog cookies (the dog cookie dough is very dry and sturdy, so I can pack the cookies raw into containers and bake them at my sister's house); - folding sheets and towels, and baby clothes for her great grandson; - easy puzzles that can be done in one sitting; - taking her a "sensations" box - a box of things that engage all five senses: cinnamon sticks or other spices in a tin; lotion that smells good; swatches of various fabrics; a prism; candies and fruit cups; an mp3 player with music she likes and podcasts. - making her a "memory" box - a box of things that will help her remember her life, such as the clutch she took to her senior prom, Christmas ornaments she made with me and my sister, one of my grandmother's small crocheted pieces, her favorite coffee cup, her high school yearbook, pictures of things that won't fit in the box, etc. Does anyone have any ideas for other memory activities we could do with her? If you have experience with this, or if any ideas come to you, would you please post them here or send me a PM? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks so much. |
