Come and show me something you're proud of...

[FollowingFlitwick]

I've had a rubbish few weeks (hasn't everyone?!) So today I decided to do something relaxing whilst ds2 was napping. I drew this for my sister's birthday and will probably make it into a card. I haven't drawn in a long time and no longer have my usual art supplies so had to use ds1 crayons
Come and show me something that you're proud of, I'd love to see it or hear about it!

My first book was published on Monday. Three more to follow in next fortnight.

Exciting! What's your book about ?

@stitchingGirl yep its pandemic!

Colour im using is DMC 796, love the richness of the blue without it being too dark! Started it at the beginning of December so slow progress but enjoying it!

@StitchingGirl

Oh wow, so many amazing artists! I so wish I could draw. I can’t so I stick to cross stitching instead! This is my latest cross stitch finish and the biggest thing I've ever stitched.

That's lovely x

@PolarnOPirate

But my lessons now are a mix of classical and musicals 😊

Lovely!! I rewatched My Fair Lady yesterday. Love a good musical!

@35andThriving

I have nothing to add myself, but this is such a lovely thread.

Have some of these

@Huggabugga wow, I wish I had your green fingers! How amazing to be able to bring something back from the "brink."

@Ottilieeee

I love seeing everyone's acheivements on this thread! I painted a card for my mum for mother's day - so satisfying and fulfilling!

What a beautiful card. I'm sure your mum will love it!

@photosphotos wow! Where did you capture that? It's breathtaking

Thank you. In the Arctic Ocean a few years ago during sunrise.

I have just turned 60 and without a maths qualification to my name (although a degree and masters) so have just started a GCSE maths course to prove I can do it. It's enjoyable but challenging and I am in awe of all your 14-16 year olds

That is a masterpiece! How long did it take you?

Yes @squashyhat! What an inspiration! I had to retake GCSE maths in my late 20s and really enjoyed it as I could learn at my own pace. Have fun!

My baby’s cardigan. Took me months! She’d better bloody fit in it! Now working on a hat- need it finished by induction date of 8/3.

Ahh, congratulations, how are you feeling? That is a beautiful cardigan. It's such a sense of achievement to make something and see them wear it. Well done! Have some of these

Knitted these this year
The multi colour is Harry Styles cardigan knitted for Dds friend and the black and white is Neville Longbottom cardigan from Harry Potter.

Those colours are fantastic and such detail on the Neville longbottom cardi. Love me a bit of Harry Potter on a Wednesday afty. Great stuff! You deserve these

I love this thread, thank you OP. Sick of hearing doom and gloom it’s lovely to see everyone’s creativity. I’ve started a photography course after years of wanting to do it but not having the time or access to. I’m loving the whole experience of learning something new. Here’s a photo from the weekend.

Lovely thread!

I've been teaching myself to sew. I'm not good yet, but I'm proud of myself for learning how to do a couple of things.

Have I killed the thread. :(

Looking good Remus Keep stitching.

I have recently learned how to crochet (well one stitch!) and have made a throw and a cushion. Very chuffed.

Thank you, Photo.

That's beautiful! It's so exciting to learn something new, I'm glad you're enjoying the process! For you (although they're not a patch on your photo!)
