Other Kinds of Project Pan?

  I know Hailey (Just Buy The Makeup) mentioned on her video about how people will use the Project Pan idea for things other than makeup.  I have started using it for food and beverage items.  I used to make one kind of tea one day and then another on another day.  Then I would get something new and forget about everything I had already started using.  I have also been working my way through a large container of oatmeal because we forgot a few times that we had some and bought more.
  It feels good to get those things finished too, especially since I have not been doing my best to work on my Makeup Project Pan items.  I used to wear more makeup when I worked my retail job, but since the cat doesn't care about what I look like, I have been wearing a lot less while working from home.  At least since I have all the items I want to use up in a separate bin, so I am using them more than might over-wise.

  I also finally got the video I took at the Tiny House Festival edited and uploaded.  Not sure why it took so much effort, but after re-saving the file twice and using two different browsers, I finally got it to upload.  I'm pretty proud of this one and I also forgot how much fun it was to edit videos about events or going places.

  I had planned on just using the same kind of decreasing for the bottom of the leafy dress, but then I realized that it would not give me the effect I wanted.  I wanted to give the effect of the dress being of one pattern and then these leaves are sitting on top of them.  So it wouldn't make sense for the background to cover the leaf, so I had to rethink my decrease style.  I took out about ten rows and tried again.  It isn't perfect because the new edges look really flat and not slightly rounded, but it looks a lot better.  I'm thinking of trying to make a cowl with this similar pattern to try something else.  I'm thinking of a center decrease.

  This might seem like an odd picture to show on here, but it is something that I'm proud of doing.  I have had these for at least five years since I got them at SaladWorks.  I had plans to use them for salads at home since they are a combination of bowl and plate.  This is the first time I have touched them since I had brought them home and washed them off.  I have been using a mixing bowl to eat my giant meal sized salads out of because it is also easy to mix them up in there and then I only make one dish dirty.
  Yesterday one of my friends brought me a bunch of purple items that had a fun glaze finish on them.  I had no idea where they could fit, then I realized that the place they would fit into the most was the cabinet with these plate/bowls in it.  The only problem is that there was no space to fit them in.  I started pulling some things out and when I got all of these out of the way, there was a perfect space.  These are now destined to head to the recycle center and become something new.

  Bill is having some fun in the basement now.  It has been longer than we had planned, but we are finally starting to tackle the basement.  Some of the things that were done down there are quite interesting.  The walls extend up higher than the ceiling and in some places they put some boards over top of the dry wall.  It will be interesting to see what other things we uncover along the way.
