Staying brave even in times of coronavirus: becoming the Perseverance King/Queen
[x ] I’m staying brave, meeting the current requirements (
disinfecting, keeping my distance, staying home, etc.), not losing
my courage, and hoping for the best.
What is hardest for me is that I can’t see my grandchildren. Unfortunately, that will probably stay that way for a long time, since I’m in a high-risk group in several ways. Luckily, there are video calls. But being able to give them a hug would be nice too...
disciplined Staying-on-Track King/Queen: no chance for UFOs
[x ] I have no or hardly any UFOs because I always keep working on my projects consistently and
in a disciplined way, instead of switching between several
handicrafts.

Hardworking Brownie in March

pattern for them, or even several.

perennial topics, such as leftover yarn / yarn scraps / leftover wool,
mini projects for on the go/in between, simple beginner-friendly /
TV-friendly patterns / models, animals / amigurumi, great decorations,
trending animals, unicorns, owls, mermaid blankets, baby shoes, etc.
-see above
[x ] In March, I revised or improved my product images for my patterns / product texts / my shop.
-->Because of the stay-at-home restrictions and the sometimes very cold weather, I had lots of time to improve some product texts and partly also photos.

Egg Cozy Hen and Roosterbut also Flower Child Pussy Willow
and a few others too. I’m also in the process of adding legal notices to old patterns. (You never know what’s still to come.)

a new type of stitch / a new type of handicraft or similar) and am therefore a winner. :- )

[x ] I used sunny moments (where available) and had lots of fun in the garden / on the balcony, etc.

Fleißiges Heinzelmännchen im März
[ x ] Ich habe im Monat März viele meiner Handarbeiten erledigen / beenden / fertigstellen können.
Für mich war der März der Monat der Klorollenhüte...
Angefangen hat es mit ˋnem neuen waldigen Klorollenhut für unser Bad, dank Social-Media hat den einer meiner Neffen gesehen und sich drin verguckt - also gab es einen 2., fast identischen hinterher.
Dann heiratet bald eine meiner Nichten, und weil das nun auch ganz anders abläuft wie geplant gibt es per Post zumindest eine kleine Aufmunterung und bringt sie hoffentlich zum schmunzeln - die Feier soll dann irgendwann nachgeholt werden....
[ x ] Ich war im Monat März auch offline / im Alltag sehr fleißig.
Der Kleiderschrank ist aufgeräumt, die Wohnung für Ostern geschmückt...
Ich habe Orangenkuchen gebacken und aus den übrig gebliebenen Schalen einen Orangen-Essigreiniger angesetzt - der braucht aber noch 3 Wochen Reifezeit, bevor ich ihn testen kann...
Foren-KönigIn im Monat März
[ x ] Ich war bei der Crazypatterns-Handarbeitsgruppe dabei und hatte Spaß daran. = Die jeweiligen Monats-Projekt-Threads.
Das ist eine sehr nette Gemeinschaft :-)
Anleitungs-Optimierungs-Champion und HeldIn der Autoren = Autoren-Titel im März
[ x ] Ich habe im Monat März mindestens eine neue Anleitung fertiggestellt und hochgeladen.
Die Anleitung für den Poncho Melinda habe ich neu eingestellt
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/59945/poncho-melinda-haekelanleitung
[ x ] Ich habe im Monat März die aktuellen saisonalen Themen (Ostern, Frühjahr, Sommer, Pfingsten etc.pp. ) bearbeitet und habe dazu eine neue Anleitung oder auch mehrere hochgeladen.
Das Set Funny-Bunny besteht aus Eierwärmer und Serviettenring
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/59111/funny-bunny-serviettenring-eierwaermer-haekelanleitung
Ebenfalls neu sind die Eierwärmer Benny + Polly Hase
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/59491/eierwaermer-benno-polly-hase-haekelanleitung
[ x ] Ich habe im Monat März eine neue Anleitung zu den immer aktuellen
Dauerbrenner-Themen wie z.B. Wollreste / Garnreste / Restwolle,Mini-Projekte für unterwegs/zwischendurch, einfache anfängertaugliche / fernsehtaugliche Muster 7 Modelle, Tiere / Amigurumi, tolle Deko, Trendtiere, Einhörner, Eulen, Meerjungfrauendecken, Babyschuhe etc. pp. hochgeladen oder auch überarbeitet.
Die beiden neuen Oster - Anleitungen sind sehr gut für Wollreste geeignet
[ x ] Ich habe im Monat März meine Produkt-Bilder meiner Anleitungen / Produkt-Texte / meinen Shop überarbeitet bzw. verbessert.
Ein paar meiner älteren Anleitungen habe ich überarbeitet und mit besseren Bildern versehen - wobei ich da bestimmt noch einiges dazu lernen kann.
[ x ] Ich habe im März die Werbethreads / weitere CP-Werbemöglichkeiten genutzt.
Die Werbethreads sind eine gute Möglichkeit für Werbung, die ich gerne nutze
RetterIn der widerspenstigen Wolle / des widerspenstigen Materials
[ x ] Ich habe im März alte oder schwierige Wolle verarbeitet und bin daher eine Woll-Retterin
Warum auch immer ich mir mal Rosa Garn gekauft habe, obwohl mir die Farbe überhaupt nicht steht - keine Ahnung. Sie ist jedenfalls gut abgelagert, und jetzt zu einem Poncho verarbeitet. Es wird sich hier im Umfeld schon jemand dafür finden...
Garten-Saison / Start in die Garten-Saison 2020
[ x ] Ich habe sonnigen Momente (sofern vorhanden ) genutzt und hatte viel Spaß im Garten / auf dem Balkon etc.
Der Balkon ist aus dem Winterschlaf geweckt, mit Plastikeiern auf Ostern gepimpt und wir haben die ersten Stunden draußen verbracht.
[ x ] Ich hatte / habe auch jenseits vom Handarbeiten schon Vorbereitungen getroffen für Frühjahr / Ostern / Pfingsten etc.
Die Wohnung ist für Ostern dekoriert, mir war nach frischen und fröhlichen Farben
[ x ] Ich habe bereits mit dem Handarbeiten der Deko / der Geschenke / der Bekleidung für Frühjahr / Ostern / Sommer / Pfingsten begonnen.
Dieses Jahr findet Ostern ja leider kontaktlos statt, darum bekommt der Postmann nun etwas mehr zu tun. Die neuen Eierbecher machen sich jedenfalls bald auf die Reise....
[ x ] Ich bleibe tapfer, erfülle die aktuellen Anforderungen ( Desinfizieren, auf Distanz bleiben, daheim bleiben etc.), verliere meinen Mut nicht und hoffe das Beste.
Etwas anderes ist ja auch nicht akzeptabel, so schwer es auch fällt...

*****************************************
Stay brave even in times of coronavirus: become the Perseverance Queen/King
[ x] I am staying brave, meeting the current requirements (disinfecting, keeping my distance, staying home, etc.), not losing my courage, and hoping for the best.
Best of the Leftovers in March: leftover yarn upcycling is great
[ x] I used up lots of colorful leftover yarn in March and have truly earned the title Best of the Leftovers in March.
Leftover yarn project details:
Mini Easter baskets, chickens, Tunisian-crocheted clothes hanger, 2 little door wreaths (still without decorations)
Shopping Queen / King in March
This title is for everyone who likes buying yarn. Your own photos of the yarn are always great.
[x ] In March I bought only yarn/material that was truly urgently needed.
Details:
Since important Creative Bubble colors were missing, I had to reorder a few skeins.
Buying patterns in March: become a Crazypatterns Queen/King
[ ] I bought more than 5 patterns in March.
Details:
One pattern for socks, many for small items, decorations…
Watchlist / Wish List Cleaner-Upper
[ x] In March I reduced or emptied my watchlist / wish list of the
patterns I would like / want to have / want to buy by either buying or deleting those patterns.
Details:
I deleted quite a few patterns from my watchlist (already bought or outdated)
Wish List Filler / Watchlist Filler
[x ] My wish list of patterns I would like / want to make has grown (possibly even considerably), because I really enjoy clicking through the new
patterns / bestsellers / authors’ shops, etc.
Details:
A few new patterns were added again too.
Busy Little Brownie in March
[x ] I was able to get done / finish / complete many of my handmade projects in March.
Details:
In addition to the small items already mentioned, two cowls and a pair of wrist warmers were made, and the Mystery CAL table runner was finished. The two CAL shawls have grown a little.
Forum Queen/King in March
[x ] I created posts in the Crazypatterns forum in March (possibly even many), or at least created one post.
[x ] I participated in the birthday threads / congratulated users and authors.
[ x] I took part in the Crazypatterns craft group and had fun with it. = The respective monthly project threads.
--> At least one check mark is needed; that is enough for the title Forum Queen/King. :- ) The more check marks, the nicer, of course :-)
Rescuer of the unruly yarn / unruly material
(it used to be called Rescuer of Unloved Yarn // Rescuer of Unloved Material)
[x ] I used old or difficult yarn in March
and am therefore a well-deserved yarn rescuer
Details:
The yarn for the two cowls and the wrist warmers clearly belongs in the category of “old” or even ancient yarn.
Learned something new in March
[x ] I learned something new in March (e.g., a lovely new technique /
a new type of stitch / a new type of craft, or similar) and am therefore a winner. :- )
Details:
purl basic stitches, Tunisian crochet, were new to me, used as a trim on the clothes hanger.
Gardening season / start of the 2020 gardening season
[x ] I had pleasant cozy-blanket evenings.
Details:
Evening crafting in front of the TV practically called for a cozy blanket!
[x ] I have already started crafting decorations / gifts / clothing for spring / Easter / summer / Pentecost.

I’m now done with the awards ceremony.
You were all very hardworking in March. That’s great.
I wish you all a successful, healthy, pleasant, and low-stress (as far as possible) April and a wonderful Easter. Stay strong, don’t let anything get you down.
Who’s still missing from the awards ceremony?
Did I forget anything?

Thank you so much for the wonderful titles—I was thrilled to receive them.
This makes crafting even more fun :-)
Yes, I filled the duvet with alpaca wool (from my own animals)—it’s wonderfully warm :-)

This time, I had the most fun with the title “Egg Decoration Queen.” If you knew how many eggs are actually hanging around here right now...
I think your word creations are brilliant—thanks for your encouragement.
Stay healthy and think positively, dear Josefa.
