Busy Bee Challenge

[JOPAT111]

Hello everyone

I hope you's are all ok and doing well❤️

4 months ago I posted an unfinished Hooky Art image on the Busy Bee Challenge 2018 page

I'm chuffed to say I've finally finished

[IndigoBlue61]

Oh wow!! It’s gorgeous 😊👏👏👏. Beautiful colours, very well done and thank you for sharing 😊

[JOPAT111 in reply to IndigoBlue61]

Thanks, I'm really pleased how it turned out. Wasn't happy with the look using bits of rags, so it's all done hooking through strips of felt. 😊

[Hidden in reply to JOPAT111]

It’s lovely JOPAT111. 😊😊😊

[JOPAT111 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks

[IndigoBlue61 in reply to JOPAT111]

Yes, I can see how felt has worked well. Given it a crisp finish 😊

[JOPAT111 in reply to IndigoBlue61]

Thinking my next one will be a picture of a nutcracker prince, make a Christmas decoration 🤔 anything to keep me away from chocolate haha

[JOPAT111]

Oh fantastic😊👏🏻 I look forward to seeing a picture of it. 🖼

[bakersdozen]

Wow! it is so nice and colourful! I would love to finish off mine.

Are you going to hang it?

[JOPAT111 in reply to bakersdozen]

You can definitely finish yours and I hope you do so I can have a look, love seeing people's crafts... I'm looking for a frame now haha😊

[bakersdozen in reply to JOPAT111]

I love this idea of sharing people's ideas as it really encourages us.

Enjoy hunting for a frame. The same time you will be earning more points and loosing weight. Go for it!

[IndigoBlue61 in reply to bakersdozen]

Keeping idle fingers busy is a grea5 help for weight loss 😊😊😊

[bakersdozen in reply to IndigoBlue61]

Yes and I just discovered another site to keep legs moving . Strength and flex for 5 weeks.

I am beginning to discover lots of exciting stuff on this forum such as reading, challenges.

[IndigoBlue61 in reply to bakersdozen]

Oh once you start we can keep you busy 24/7 🤣

[bakersdozen in reply to IndigoBlue61]

Good!

My hubby won't recognise me. He will wonder what happened to the new bakersdozen.

[bakersdozen in reply to IndigoBlue61]

I love my new badge! Now I will have to live up to it! Oooh I love challenges!

[ozziesmum]

Looks lovely. I'm working on a Christmas cross stitch project, an advent calendar. What, another one? Rather slow going as I am now knitting items for premature babies as well as my usual card making for my local animal shelter. It's a wonder I have time to eat!

[JOPAT111 in reply to ozziesmum]

Ha, it's nice that you do all those things though. ❤️

[Elisabeth3 Maintainer in reply to ozziesmum]

Wow. Lots of things you are making. Do you enjoy them? I like all of them, especially the baby's clothes. ✔️

[IndigoBlue61]

[Elisabeth3 Maintainer]

Very nice! Congratulations! You must have had some patience doing it. 💯

[JOPAT111 in reply to Elisabeth3]

Thanks, Once I was in the rhythm I enjoyed it 😊

[Elisabeth3 Maintainer]

And the end result provides you with a sense of achievement, doesn't it? That alone is great, already. Then you get the praise and encouragement on this forum which is lovely.

[JOPAT111 in reply to Elisabeth3]

I'll admit it's nice to be to show someone my Hooky Art, as I'm proud of myself for finishing. It's also nice to get the comments off the lovely people on here, but I do it to keep my mind active and my hands away from chocolate 😊

[Elisabeth3 Maintainer in reply to JOPAT111]

Praise is reassuring. I love when I get positive feedback on things I do or make. That is mainly cooking these days. Creative and practical. Hope you will upload some more nice work. 🎗️

[JOPAT111 in reply to Elisabeth3]

And I hope to see some of your cooking, I bet it looks delicious 🍲😊

[Elisabeth3 Maintainer in reply to JOPAT111]

Oh, thank you. I may post some. I have not posted anything, yet, but thinking of it. 🤷

[JOPAT111 in reply to Elisabeth3]

Definitely do, posting brings us together no matter what it's about, your feelings up or down, exercise, crafts or what you've been cooking. Your meals may also broaden my menu, I love a new recipe ❤️

[Elisabeth3 Maintainer in reply to JOPAT111]

Oh, okay. That's encouraging. What ingredient is in your mind? Let me think of a nice recipe.

[JOPAT111 in reply to Elisabeth3]

Oh anything I'm a true foodie. 🤗

[Elisabeth3 Maintainer in reply to JOPAT111]

There is a challenge, Edible Alphabet... We are at letter O, I think. It is to encourage people to use rarely used ingredients. It's nice.
