crafting....

Well, these are addicting!

look around your house. I bet you have skewers, empty spools, some paper scraps and a hole punch (I used my crop -o -dile).

and a handy tip to pass along......

put an eyelet behind the brad when making drawer handles.  it makes it soooo much easier to open. don't actually set the eyelet, just use it as a spacer.  slide the brad arms through it then go through the drawer front.

 

holiday spirit!!

 tomorrow Tim Holtz is once again showing decorations through out his home.

it was lots of fun to see last year.

9:30 am et on his you tube channel.

Might be way more enjoyable  to watch instead of looking out your windows!!

stay warm, stay safe, craft!!

 

easy for me to say - here in sunny AZ.

Merry Merry!

a few more minis for the free little library "gift" section.

covered spool trees have been on my work table for 2 years now.  time to move them out!

 

saw a new shadowbox technique and had to try it out.....only using what I have until its gone.

merry christmas card for the grandson

 

There you have it!  

Used some of my favorite (and very old ) paper from October Afternoon!

one done, two more to go and the next one ready...

 

Tim Holtz and Quickutz dies for both!

December!! what?? already?

 have you seen these?  they are book/page markers.  I decided to give them a try using what I had on hand...felt, dies, floss and watercolor paper.

still have to stitch them together but that will be another day.

finished up this little nest.  it stands about 5 inches tall.  

hopefully it will brighten someone's day.

Funny, there is a shelf in the little library that now says..gifts....

enjoy your day!

snowflakes!

finished!
