Cold, flu or allergy?

   I am struggling with what I think is a sinus issue, nothing too major but something that has me sneezing and suffering from pressure and pain behind my eyes.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014

Funny e-cards

   An allergy flare-up has made it difficult for me to do much today.

So many buttons, so little time

Five snow day craft ideas

   It’s just January and so far this winter has had everything from a polar vortex to southern snow.

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

Southern snow and mountain memories

   You know, it’s funny how we sometimes want what we don’t (or can’t) have. In this case I am talking about snow.

Pretty dangle earrings

   Once again I covered myself in crafting supplies on my couch. This time I made some earrings.

Pretty in pink jewelry

Five fun Valentine's Day boxes

   Do y’all remember making decorative boxes for Valentine’s Day? You know, those ones you would make for school when it was time to exchange Valentine’s Day cards.

Fancy paper clip bracelet

   Long back I picked up a little bag of fancy paper clips. I wasn’t sure what I would do with them, but for some reason I just had to have them.

Shades of pink for Valentine's Day

   I do enjoy making different types of jewelry. If I’m low on energy or motivation, though, I go to my favorite piece to make…the wire-wrapped cuff bracelet.

Sunday, January 19, 2014

What motivates you?

   Brain drain. Maybe that’s what I have. Or maybe I just needed a few days without crafting. Either way, once again I don’t have any handmade items to share today.

Freehand wire bracelet

   I really like working with wire. Sometimes I like to work freehand to see what I can come up with.

Too much strength for a woven bracelet

   The crafting from my kitchen bar had been going very well…until I messed up a bracelet I was working on with what I can only guess was my brute force strength.
