Good morning, crafty friends!
I'm finally back in the studio and doing fun things again. The office isn't much farther than the Disaster Video but I'm making progress.
I've mostly been busy pressure canning foods for the pantry. I brought back #40 of potatoes from the retreat. I still have about #8 to work through. I've also canned baked beans and have apples in the crockpot as I type to turn into apple butter.
But today, I have a couple of things to share.
I'm planning a patriotic journal for this month. I've picked up these pairs of earrings at Walmart for $5. they do these seasonally for all types of themes. I've picked up hearts for Valentine's Day, bunnies for Easter, shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day.... you get the idea.
While these are post-backed, they can be broke down into individual charms. I plan to use the star on a tassel and the smaller individual charms for page edges.
The other thing I have is an on-line haul video from Rebekah Wills. She was one of my table mates at the retreat and does lovely handwork as well as sourcing vintage items. Drop back by later today for the video link or just go to my YouTube channel around noon CST and the video should be the first one in the list.
I'm off to plant flower beds and hang laundry before I come back in to curl up with a book I need to review on my author blog tomorrow.
Creative Blessings!
