Anyone have a current project and want to share? Can be anything - crochet, woodworking, baking, growing a baby, etc.

I have very basic sewing skills...finally finished our mudroom bench cushion. The girls did the sewing machine pedal and all the stuffing to “help”. It’s not perfect, but I’m happy with it.

My only current project is growing this baby and keeping this placenta in line.
But with all this free time, I've been designing the nursery and future basement finishing in my head. 😅
J is in the middle of building a kitchen table and benches for a friend. Once that's done, he's going to rip out a useless closet and build custom cubbies/bench in our laundry/mudroom. Can't wait for coats, bags, shoes, gloves, etc. to all have a place!

We have a few that are in the very beginning stages...
1. Chicken coop (painting in progress, hardware cloth purchased for securing the ground perimeter... Just waiting on warmer days to get it built)
2. Living room accent columns. We've got these two corner columns in our living room that frame the big windows. We're planning to do reclaimed wood on them as a cool accent. And add white sheers to the windows to soften it all up. The wood has been acquired and pressure washed, but now we need to plane it smooth, so I think that's going to have to wait until we have warmer days.

I’ve knit a few pairs of socks for baby dolls lately. I’m going to branch out and try a hat this week. I also found a random crochet hook in my bin of craft stuff so maybe I will try to crochet something too. I just finished a wall hanging for E’s room too. A little wonky and a bit wrinkly, but she’s still cute.

It was this recipe, but I just used the recipe for the cookie part. I didn’t use icing. Also omitted the pecans because ew. And I used mini marshmallows instead of big. www.dominosugar.com/recipe/chocolate-marshmallow-cookies

We're going to be working on making planter boxes soon. We want them to look nice, not just functional. Also we're kind of seriously contemplating a property where the current house is only a 1 bedroom, so it would need an extension built, so we've been kind of brainstorming what we would do for that. Not really a project except in our heads yet.

I sewed myself a pair of bike shorts, which were super easy! Definitely going to make more, and I want to focus on sewing more for myself in general. Maybe I'll take a picture tonight.
Next project is putting together the cube shelf I bought for fabric storage, I got a little one one for Nugget's room so she finally has a bookshelf and it looks great.
Nugget has also requested I sew her a dress so that's next on my sewing slate.

I made this little toad last night. It was my first go at embroidery so I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Digging up this super old thread to show off my new kitchen island. Before and after pics below (gotta tapa, forgot about that.) I hated this color of green. We’ve been talking about replacing this slab of black granite with something else but could never decide on what. So I gave up waiting and just painted it white. I can’t believe the difference it made! So bright!
