    T Tuesday: random craft edition

    It’s Tuesday again…time to have some sparkling water in my favorite glass and link up with Elizabeth for T stands for Tuesday.20140601_5021        So what I have I been up to lately?  I’ve been doing more crafting than blogging….          And more yard work than crafting. Weeding, mowing, planting and watering…  But now that we’ve had over 4 inches of rain, at least I don’t have to worry about the watering.

    Now on to the random crafts…20140601_4987Here we have scarf/necklace made from my favorite tie-dye t-shirt. I finally had to give the shirt up after discovering a huge unrepairable hole.  Apparently I wasn’t ready to completely part with it…

    20140601_5010I started this American Girl doll hat when Little J and I were at our camp. One of the little girls asked if she could have it when I was done. Well certainly, my dear. I used my cabbage dyed yarn and knitting loom.

    Then, of course, more cards…20140601_5008 20140601_5007 20140601_5006 20140601_5005 20140601_5003I’m trying to get ahead for the Fall/Winter craft sale season.

    I was going to share one more new item today but I’m thinking that it deserves it’s own post. It’s something new that I’ve never tried. I was inspired by something on YouTube. Basically to think outside the box.  That’s generally how my brain works anyway.

    Stop back tomorrow and see what I’m talking about. (how’s that for a teaser)

    What are you doing today??

    I can’t seem to get myself down to my artspace long enough to unearth my table again. Today, since it was pretty warm, I tackled the driveway…I finally found the blacktop under all that compacted snow! I’m going to have some sore shoulders tomorrow!

    T Tuesday: irons in the fire edition

     Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday hosted by Elizabeth. Grab a cup, mug or glass…sit down and stay a while.activate c

    I’ve finished my coffee and am ready to defend myself from the virus that currently has it’s hooks in Mr. G. Poor guy is wracked with chills under a pile of covers. I can’t even fathom how he can move under them…they are so heavy.

    Me…well, I’m still crafting like crazy.

    Sewing…

    I’m feeling the deep need to make some art. The only problem is now I’ll have to dig my way to my art supplies. I piled tons of stuff on my workspace. ACK! I hate it when I do that…yet I still do it. Apparently I’m a slow learner.

    What a re you doing today?
