Lots of ideas for busy crafters here. The branch weaving sounds interesting. I’ve never done it before and would like to see an example of the procedure taking place as it is used to create something functional and attractive.
The plaid ruffle pillow is cute and I do have some plaid fabric that I’ve been thinking of making into a skirt. This is a good idea as well but will probably definitely take more time. That’s a resource I have to measure carefully, so while it looks interesting, I’ll probably stick with my original plan for now. I’ll have a look so that when I do have the time, I will know how to do it.
