Show your crafts (WIP or finished)

This is my journal. I started it as a new years resolution to improve positive thinking and focus on the habits that protect my mental health. so far its been working so I thought I'd show you.

Mays theme is flowers. The first page involves a chart for tracking habits like excersise and eating, a productivity tracker and spaces to write one thing I'm proud of this month and one thing I'm grateful for.

The second page is a mood tracker. The key is the middle of the flowers and I colour in a petal a day to track my mood.

I then have a few pages like this where I can write one thing that's made me happy each day and something I'm proud of once a week.

Ooh I like your weekly set up. I’m trialling a digital journal at the moment. It’s saved in ink and paper but I don’t know how I would feel using it long term.

I looked at digital options but I love drawing so combining it with a place to doodle has encouraged me to keep using it.

I tried making a journal like that, I also had a mood tracker and everything, the only problem was that I never had the time to fill it out. Also, your “flower theme” journal is so pretty!

I can’t really draw so when journaled (setting up my own) it B was very bland.

You should ideally fill it in before the start of the week then look at it every evening.

Mine is on the coffee table in the living room and it only takes 10 minutes a night if that to fill it in for the day. I set It up for the month all at once so it's ready as I know wont get time midweek to do anything.

That’s a lovely idea.
 
Does anyone else sew for dolls? Just upcycled one of my daughter's outgrown hoodies into an 18" doll version which I think came out very successfully! I don't have an overlocker/serger so I'm always a bit wary of sewing with stretch fabrics, but I found a stitch on my machine that works well and remembered to switch to a jersey needle. The pattern came from the Pixie Faire website. IMG_20210523_155612_075.webp

That's looks great! I used to love sewing for my daughter's 18" dolls, but that phase didn't last very long before she moved on to horses, and a think a horse rug is a bit beyond me!

Guinea pig sewing is on an easier scale than horses! My daughter is still enjoying her dolls even now she's at secondary school, but I often wonder how long it will last!

That is fantastic! I couldn't tell if I wanted to do the laughing face or the love face. I love the poops!
 
First attempt ever at using a sewing pattern! I've made things like bunting and cushion covers before but never had the confidence to sew an actual item of clothing. I cut off more than I should have done from the leg bottoms as I momentarily forgot about the seam allowance but, hey, I don't like PJs too long! Pretty chuffed 😊20210608_180432.webp

They look amazing for a first attempt at clothing, and that fabric is gorgeous!
But be warned - it can become quite addictive.
