Things I’ve Been Working on and Random Things

Wow, it’s hard to believe its Friday already. I’m not saying that I don’t want it to be Friday, because I do and I do love my weekends. I just don’t know where the week went. In other words I don’t feel like I have accomplished much. I still haven’t been able to get back to my sewing machine to make the rest of the doll clothes that I cut out.

But I did manage to make another little man’s vest and this might even be the cutest one so far? (I know I probably said that about the last one too, ha! ha!)

Not to mention probably the cutest pair of little man shoes. I really need to find a little man baby to try them on. I wonder if my great nephew Truman has grown enough yet. That will be my next project is to see if Angie will let me try them on him.

“This is so random,” as Joshua would say. But here are some things I found while cleaning my craft room. I just love this bumper or window sticker because it describes me to a tee!

But also beware of the crochet lady who collects flowers,

more flowers,

and even more flowers, and I’m wondering every time I look at these flowers that are made from hosiery. I don’t know who has the patience to sit and run wire inside nylon stockings to make flowers? Oh well, I’m sure these people look at me and wonder how I have the patience to make some of things that I make? And that’s what I love about crafting; I’m not going to say that I wouldn’t make these nylon hosiery flowers but I don’t think I would enjoy it like I enjoy my crochet. I would love to hear if anyone knows someone that makes these lovely flowers.

A set of green dice, (why, I don’t know?) I guess I just love the green color of them with their little white dots all over!

Spools of thread in vintage colors, I love the way they look all stacked up.

I’m not sure if any of you have heard about this magazine called “Mollie Makes” living & loving handmade. Oh-my-gosh, can I say this is a fantastic magazine to have around? I love everything about it; from the crocheted apple jackets on the cover, to the words “LIVING HANDMADE, making, thrifting, collecting, crafting”. Words that I live by every day and I know there are quite a few of you out there that do the same thing. I am so blessed to have a friend in Susie who purchased this magazine for me while she was at Joann’s last Saturday. It’s one of those magazines that you just drink in slowly and take your time so that you don’t finish it too soon and then as soon as you’re done with it you long for the next one to come out. The pictures inside are amazing and some of the stories are from people that write blogs about their crafts where I visit. Thank you so much Susie. That’s what I’ve been up to and those random things that Joshua tells me that I talk about. I hope everyone has lots of fun things planned for their weekend and I can’t wait to hear all about those fun things on Monday.
