Crafting for the Fair
August is the time to get out the glue gun and do some crafting for the fair. This division of the exhibits has been thin in participants since covid shut down the fair in 2020. In 2021, there were so few entries, practically every entry got a ribbon. In 2022, it was a bit better, …

Christmas Centerpiece
Reworking the pine cone basket I made last year, I wanted to freshen it up for the Christmas season. Holidays mean a little more shine, so I covered up the foam in the middle to get it ready to spray paint. Several light coats of metallic gold were applied, turning the piece over and around …
Herb Garden Mossy Planters
These small pots were found on a recent thrifting outing, and I knew immediately what I wanted to do with them. Taking them to the workbench, I got out the basket of acrylic paints. The green stuff in the glass dish is moss. I scraped a the moss from the stone and concrete drainage half-pipe …
Autumn Jubilee Pine Cone Crafting
Pine cones are in abundance in Autumn, so fitting for an Autumn Jubilee crafting project. I have so many pine cones it is fun to find a way to use a lot at once. For a centerpiece, I thought this wire basket would make a good base for a pine cone basket. The wire basket …
