No pictures, but I'll tell you what I'd like to do.
I'm done with my crochet project which ended up lasting years because I kept on messing up. Still messed up, but I just wanted to finish it. The messing up is my "signature" lol. My next project I'd like to do something for my priest, which will be cross-stitch. I can't tell you what it is, because I don't know if he checks this board or not, but his name is here, lol. I'd like to finish my beaded loom bracelet, I need to do that, it's been years too.
I do really want to start up something else that I'm really really want to do. Those little oratories you see that are vintage that opens up and they have prayers and pictures of the Saints and Mary and Jesus and whatever else. With metals and crucifixes too. I figured out how to print on fabric! Hopefully, it works how Google was telling me to do. It said to get freezer paper and 100% Muslim (if you want to dye it, it has to be natural fibers. Not sure if I want to dye it yet). But cut out the fabric to fit the size of paper for the printer. So I need colored ink for my printer and fix it to make it work. I must be doing something wrong with it the first time. Put the fabric on the freezer paper cut out to fit the fabric and she used a lint roller to pick up any stray pieces from the fabric. She ironed the fabric to the freezer paper and put it into the printer and printed the picture from the computer. I really hope it doesn't hurt the printer, lol. I don't know how else to do it. But if it doesn't work, I'll try another way whatever google says, because I don't know how to do it.
I'd like to make a series of the same picture on a sheet of paper, so I can individually cut them out and then try my hand at trimming with crochet thread and sew it by hand on the muslim and more pictures with prayers too. Get some metals and crosses and sew them in there. I'd like to get some snaps or something that won't wear down over time. On the front of it, I'd like to get some either felt or velvet fabric to sew it together with maybe some cardstock, so it's easier to fold and might look nicer. I hope it works out really well. I had a plan to make this all for friends and family (Novus ordo family, but would still like to make them it, so they can take it with them whenever) and friends from church for Christmas. But if I can't do it this Christmas then definitely next Christmas.
In August last year, I went to CMRI in WA at Mt. St. Micheal's convent and church, it was amazing! One of the ladies made us stuff to give out to everyone, super nice! I would like to make that for next year because I probably won't be able to go. I hope to go this year, but not sure yet. But whenever and something somewhat easy to make I'd like to make them all something, that would be really nice.

I am working on a crocheted shawl. I work really really slowly, so it's going to take a while.

It is great to hear of the projects you both are working on! I would love to see pictures! I find it inspiring to see what other people make. 🤩
I have been trying to make little finer puppet priests for my little boys for Mass. Still a work in progress and the first two are absolutely ridiculous looking but the boys enjoy them and they are least know what they are supposed to be. 🤣😝
