Wow. I blinked and a month went by since I've been on! You guys have been so impressively busy, getting all the things done. I cannot say the same. I've gotten some material for some projects and washed it up, knitted some, used up my velvet scraps making pumpkins and acorns and that's about...

I haven't gotten a thing done this week. I've been so busy with chores around here and running errands, appts., concerts, etc. that sitting down to accomplish anything just hasn't happened. I did try teaching myself to knit a stitch combo I haven't done before but I miscounted after 3 or 4 rows...

Hello. I'm in the process of winding down from summer and gearing up for fall/holidays. I didn't get much done craft-wise while on our vacation but the kids had fun working on some crafts. I need to sort thru my craft area. It shouldn't take too very long because I sorted it not long ago but...

I've finished the throw and baby blanket so now I can work on other things. I want to make a cowl-necked bandana scarf thingy I saw on pinterest. If I like how it turns out I'll make a few for Christmas gifts. I also brought along some ornament kits I made to work on while we're in Georgia. When...

A bullet journal is a notebook that you tailor for your needs. They started out pretty simple but so many people have taken the concept and run with it and the result is pretty awesome- completely, uniquely personalized for their lives. I never could find the "perfect" planner so, this way, I...

Hi, all. This week is finishing up all the planning for our trip next week and figuring out how to fit it all in my truck. I need to head to dollar tree for some supplies for the beach so I may have to look for those fish bowls... I haven't gotten loads done craftwise, but I have been knitting...

I haven't got too much on my list this week. I need to knit, catch up on my mending, and if I get to town, I want to pick up some supplies for some ornaments and gifts I have on my list. I've been finding some pretty cute ornaments on blogs and pinterest the last few weeks -now I need to decide...

It's a beautiful bag, Myron's Mom! Jody is right- your eye for fabric and color is very good. All your bags are very well done. I've been working on the throws, stitched up the little hearts and have been finding what gifts I want to make yet and putting supply lists together. Still have yet...

DJ- your craft list sounds fun. My mom and I made gods' eyes when I was a girl. They were really popular then but I never see them now. I need to put together some things for my kids to do next month on vacation. How do you make the monsters/martians?

I'm hoping to get some knitting done. And I want to make a couple of hearts from a shirt of my friend who passed last year. He was very precious to all of us and was mentor to a couple of my children. His wife sent me a shirt he wore a lot so I could make little somethings for them to remind us...

Jane- In our last house and this one, too, the fans were still good but really ugly. So I used a metal paint (oil rubbed bronze on some and pearl white on others) on the metal parts and painted the blades. Krylon has the metal looking paints in all kinds of finishes in both spray and canned so...

Hi, everyone. I haven't been very grown up about making myself work on that garage, but my craft room is definitely looking better. I have come to the conclusion that I am a craft hoarder. I have found several things I want to make- things I have made in the past and have all these supplies left...

I hope you guys have had a lovely weekend. I've been slowly working on my garage and not much else in my spare time. I have sat and knitted on a throw in the evenings a few times and I started picking out seams on some pants Mom sent over to make a skirt. I think I want to get a dress form...

Hi, all. I've not been doing much on the creative front. I keep a kit in my truck for when I'm waiting or riding passenger to make dishcloths so I've gotten a couple made and showed my 8 yr old how to knit. Mostly, though, it's been working on chores around here and cleaning out the garage...

Hey, there. I think I'm still recovering from the birthday party because I am so not energetic at the moment. Mom gave me some of her clothes to go through to use for projects- I've been doing some clothing refashioning over the years for my girls' school needs. They have to wear skirts or...

Thank you.

All my creativity is going towards getting my house company ready, so cleaning and a little decorating. Our youngest turns eight on Saturday and were having folks over for supper. Other than that, knitting on throws and making things for our daughters' big girl room makeover. One is crazy for...

Hi, guys. I can't believe it's June! We've been pretty busy with end of school year events such as big reports, science fair projects, a "wax museum" for English class, and almost a dozen different field trips. o_O The wax museum was fun- the kids each had a historical event they had to...

Hi, guys. You've all been so busy. I haven't gotten much accomplished but little bits here and there. I did get to go to a craft supply sale at the ag center in the city closest to us. My neighbor lady looks forward to it all year and now I understand why! They had everything from jewelry making...

Happy Easter, y'all! It's been crazy spring weather around here and I've tried getting as much done outside as possible. But we've had some weather I didn't want to be out in and used that time to work on some crafty things- little paper packets filled with candies and what-nots for Easter...
