Quilting, cooking, reading books, gardening, crafting, sewing, photography and more
As I mentioned on Friday, I have not been sewing in the past month. Instead, I've been spending all my free time (which has been precious little) doing crafting projects. I needed to finish making the cards I wanted to do for the guild show. I didn't do as many as I had planned, but …

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, …

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 …
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 …
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 …
Having some fun with the Caliente theme, I made a few fun things to use on drives with the Mini club like the Geocaching Drive on yesterday's post. For those who missed that post, one of the club 'rules' is you have to name your car. Ours is red, so DH called it Caliente. You …
