Far from done, but happy with today’s progress!
Day Two
Far from done, but happy with today’s progress!
Category: Crafts
Day One
Design day one… It’s difficult to see, but I’ve sketched out some simple designs… each section has a book in it… after all, this table will return to the library. And then I start…
Collection
Adding to the collection… A couple of country scenes and the Green Man… A far out fox, some welcoming birds, and a silly llama!
The Newest
One thing about sitting at a table at a trade show all day… I got to finish up and create my newest batch of spoons.
Finger Crochet
I was thinking about teaching the After the Bell kids who I work with about crocheting. Then I thought, well, let’s see if there’s an easier way to teach crochet to young kids that don’t have great hand-eye coordination. So… somewhere along the line, I found finger crochet. Basically, instead of using a crochet hook,…
Some Bunny
While the guys trudge out every morning to feed their different bunches of cattle, I sit in my house, hands warmed by my first cup of coffee. At single digit temperatures, I’m happy to take my time waking up to meet the crisp morning. I’m sure it would be better for me to go find…
Last One Started
As I recover from the latest bout of grandchildren based germ warfare… and they win every time, by the way… I started on Reagan’s Christmas stocking. Yes, I’m late… don’t tell her! Oh, it needs sparkle… and… more… but hey, the last grandchild now can catch up to the other seven!
#TBT – Indian Dress
So many of you liked my cradleboard I made, I thought I’d share my Indian dress I also made back in the day. It now hangs on the wall in my Indian room. A neighbor helped me with the design and beadwork. It is actually two pieces so I could wear the top with jeans…
Library Donations
I’ve been working on what I’m donating to our library silent auction. This doesn’t really show up well, It’s just a pine tree shape cut from a green hardback book. It does look cute on my counter though! I covered this box with wrapping paper and filled it with items to make a Christmas Eve…
Beeswax and Cotton
Before I know it, our library fundraiser will sneak up on me… and so I’m trying to work on my silent auction donations. Today’s craft was a mixture of new and old. Have you ever read books where to waterproof or protect an item, they wrapped it in waxed cloth? Or think about waxed paper……
Magnet Play
Playing… I’ve seen a lot of Harry Potter wood burned gifts… but, Harry isn’t my style. Since I’m rewatching, and enjoying Star Trek Enterprise, I thought I’d make myself a set of Star Trek magnets! I wanted to put this on one… from the title theme… But I think I need a bigger magnet!
Order Up!
I’m thrilled to say I *finally* finished my custom order for burned spoons! Just on the off chance that a recipient who will be getting one of these might read my blog… I’m not showing their names that are burned into the handle, nor the reverse little icon, either. I just finished the hawk tonight,…
