Might have finished a project once idk

I finished this blanket of my late cat. She passed away a few months ago. It was quite suddenly and during a really bad time for my family so I couldn't mourn her properly. This is my tribute to her for all the love she gave us.

No cage needed. These crochet birdies are free to spread joy wherever they go! Handmade with love and plenty of fluff. Which one is your favorite?

Castlefest by virtue of taking place at the start of August tends to be a very sunny festival. And given that I am pale enough to make a vampire jealous, I inevitably end up being a bit sunburnt no matter how much sunscreen I put on. So I figured it was time to make myself a hat. Tessiel does have a bit of asian influence and I absolutely adore @vincentbriggs 's many leaf inspired creations so I wanted to see if I could make myself a lilypad hat.

First of course, the pattern which I figured out with some math and a big piece cardboard and painting the top to actually look like a lilypad.

Then ironing to seal the paint and adding two and half layers of really stiff interlining so that the hat wouldn't flop.

Before putting together the top and the lining, I already added the top snap buttons and the loops for the cord to the lining so that the stitches wouldn't show on the top and and then I sewed them both together.

Some quilting as well

And the end result !
