Taking a hiatus!

   This will be my last blog post for a while.

A few Easter memories

   Today is Palm Sunday. Next week is Easter. This fact has me taking a walk down memory lane.

Inspiration can come from Pinterest, and a shopping pal

   My friend Jules likes sparkly things. So it can be easy for me to make pieces of jewelry for her.

Have you found success on Pinterest?

   I have a question for all of the Pinterest users out there. Do you ever go back and make use of any of your pins?

No crafts, but some funnies for your Thursday

   I have a crafting wish list and I pin many of those craft ideas and wishes on Pinterest.

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.

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.

A do-it-yourself earring display

   I’m great at thinking of craft ideas or finding them on the Internet. In this post I will share an earring display I made after gathering many ideas on Pinterest.

Still stuck on display ideas

   For this to be a craft blog I sure haven’t shared many creations over the last few days, have I?

What do I do with my scraps of fleece?

   I’m trying to find something I can do with the fleece squares I have left over from making the no-sew fleece blankets back before Christmas.

Buttons and belts make bracelets

   Buttons and belts have become my latest craft obsession. 

Seeking motivation

   Hmmm…I really have slowed down in my crafting adventures thanks to the weather (the Creative Cave has been cold), errands and activities away from the house. 

Clearance beads for a wire-wrapped cuff

   On Monday I showcased a bracelet and earrings I made from beads I found on clearance. Today’s post features more of those clearance beads. 

Charm bracelets for college football Saturday

   It’s time for another college football Saturday. I actually pull for several teams, but given where I live and other personal factors my “blood runneth orange.” 

What do I do with all of this paper?

   Back when I first started making paper beads I went a little overboard on buying paper and acquiring paper scraps to use. 

A button and a wire-wrapped cuff bracelet

   I haven’t used buttons much in my crafting, but I have plenty of them. My hope has been that one of these days I would make something with them. 

My blog can do more and I want to find out what that is

   I didn’t craft anything yesterday. What I did do was link up with other bloggers, as well as research more about promoting my own blog. 

Going wire wrap crazy with rings

   Wow! Another month has come and gone. Welcome October! Perhaps I should get crafty and work on some Halloween and Thanksgiving items. For right now, however, I want to share my new obsession…handmade rings. 

My first try at handmade rings

   Well, I decided it was about time I try to make rings. Oh boy has this been an interesting experiment. 

Wire jewelry and a hand "claw"

   I wanted to create something fun with the wire jig. Somewhere amid the hours of Internet and Pinterest searching I’ve done for wire jig ideas I came across a Christmas tree. I gave it a try.
