I bought a new type of bead organizer. I think I like it. I got all my beads organized, but I haven’t made anything with beads since then. Not my best move. I will get back to it soon. I realized I can’t sell these projects on Etsy, so I got discouraged and stopped stitching…

Coming Projects
I have a few things in mind coming up. There was a Christmas window project on the street where I work. I made a fabulous window. I didn’t win, or place. The one thing I saw that all the windows had in common was that they used their product in the window. It is hard…
Trying Something New
It isn’t a new craft, it is just going to the next level. Cross-Stitch…I love it, I would love to sell the things I make on Etsy. Unfortunately, everything I make is from someone else’s pattern. Etsy has been putting its foot down about selling trademarked and copyrighted items. Many sellers have been selling patterns…
Looney Tunes Refrigerator Magnets
I found these when I was cleaning out my craft bins. All that was left to complete these was to do the tuft on Marvin’s helmet, then the backstitching on him. 10 minutes is all it took, and I started it over 15 years ago. I can’t believe I didn’t just finish! Let’s see what…
Getting orders and an Etsy shop
I have been getting a few orders for these. I got one order for a pinecone ornament, and a shamrock pin. I also got an order for 3 shamrock magnets. Pretty cool! They are all in-person orders, I still haven’t gotten my Etsy shop for these open. I did open my Etsy shop for my…
Boo Ghost
I know, we are still in the first half of the year, but this little guy was so cute I had to make it now. There were some challenges on the way though. Sometimes it’s hard to wrangle the beads. I finally got the beads cleaned up and finished the ghost. I showed it to…
Lost!?!
How do I do this? I lose things in a 5-minute period of time. And haven’t moved!! Usually I find the stuff eventually, but it’s aggravating! This week, I finished one of my ornaments while at work. When my boss came in, I showed it to her, then went to get my stuff together to…
Rubber Ducky
I saw this and it took me back to my childhood with the Sesame Street gang. I had to make it! I even put the song on my Spotify playlist 🙂
Photography
I realized that I don’t always get the best pictures, so I was thinking about finding a class or something. A friend of mine mentioned that we happen to have a great photographer that we know. HUBBY!! He takes the photos for the art gallery that he designed the website for, and he does the…
Halloween
I have a lot of patterns for Halloween and Christmas crafts, here is one of my old pins that I found. I need a better background, I think the purple background detracts from the image.
