I was nearly on the moon in one and got a bronze in the other  .

I got out my smilie pattern and made it bigger around, but it looked like a tiny face in a big circle. I had to make the mouth and eyes bigger so it would look right. I did a lot of frogging, but finally got it. I got 2 circles done, I just have to  back to back to be thick enough. I used a ball of yellow cotton and some of the black (+1)  .

WTD: + 1  YTD: + 71

This  weather is making my garden go crazy. Since Fri. I've picked 7 cucumbers, 2 eggplants (1 purple, 1 white), 14 cherry tomatoes, 5 green peppers and enough green beans for 3 meals (and a ton of weeds  ). I've got a lot of large tomatoes, but they'er still green. Between pulling weeds and picking veggies, I haven't done much . I gave away 1/2 skein of  (+1). Then I made 6 squares for a baby afghan (30 more to go) and started another potholder. Not many points, but it's on the + side  .

WTD: + 2  YTD: + 72

I finished the garden flag I've been working on forever. I recorded the thread used last week. Didn't need a full ball to finish it. It was a busy week, so not too much time for stitching on something new.

 

WTD 0

Have a happy week!

Adding my totals in now!  I did some work, but didn't use up a skein, so:

WTD = 0

[greyhoundgrandma]

WTD +3

I was doing so good this week until Hubs' friend decided to be generous and gif me with 10 skeins and 5 balls....sigh....lol

I did make a bunch of stuff this week.  My doula friend asked me to make her a set of anatomical models for her breastfeeding lessons,so I made a set of 4 boobs for her in various skin tone combinations.  I also made a Wonder Woman shawl to surprise her with,  because she's going through a rough time lately and she's a huge WW fan, so I thought I'd give her a treat to make her smile. All in all,  I used up 8 balls and 2 skeins.

WTD: -13

YTD: -86

Pretty sure I'm heading to the moon again lol. I'll include a picture of my WW shawl here, but I'm not sure if it would violate any group rules to add a picture of the boob set? 

[greyhoundgrandma]

Love the shawl, Jessie! Not sure about the rules and pictures of boobs. LOL

I finished the round smilie potholder. I used the formula to make a flat round piece, but it started to look like a hexagon. I decided to make another smilie  potholder with a hexagon border. It came out much nicer, so I've made 2 and a started a 3rd one. I hope to get some of the cotton used before Sat. No points so far this week.

I used up a cake on the planet earth blanket...+2.

[greyhoundgrandma]

It's been slow going with the planet earth blanket this week. I had to rip out a round two different times but I used up another skein...+2 = +4.

[Ellie 13]

I used most of a black cotton skein on yellow smilie potholders (the white made them look like fried eggs ). I finished the smilie potholder. I have 1 in yellow/black and 2 in pink/white, used most of 2 cotton skeins. I rolled the 3 skeins down (+3) . I need 2 hexagons back to back for a pot holder, but I might only have enough to make 1 more hexagon. After I finish the blue and purple potholders maybe there will be enough to make a striped one.

WTD: + 3  YTD: + 75

@Inkked0317 Jessie, you can post the boobs. If kids don't know that boobs are for breastfeeding, there is something wrong with this world.

BTW, awesome Wonder Woman shawl!

[TexasPurl]
