Just finished a thread painted butterfly today (you can see her lovely picture up on my blog). Will be starting a knitted dishcloth tonight for a swap, and am designing a few ideas in my head for an apron, a table runner and some mug mats. You know, just sitting on my bum, eating bon bons and watching reality TV - ha ha ha

CJ...The heart is a large cardboard Valentine lid. I was just going to put it away with my
Valentine Decorations until next year....but then I spotted the perfect place to hang it in
my bedroom. Curious why you asked though.

Hugs,

holding some of my Heart Shaped YoYo's from our Swaps.

I should be working on finishing my coffee table, but I can't seem to get motivated. Maybe I need a huge pot of coffee with some delicious donuts to help me LOL

I'll be doing the same as I always do....crafting away at anything and everything:

-decoupaging empty tea bag boxes
-crocheting several dishcloths, bookmarks, pot holders, blankets
-knitting my block blanket
-making more wallpaper note cards
-sewing a bit
-decoupaging a few more clipboards
-and thinking about my tatted hankie that I started last year
.............and organizing the closet where it all my supplies get stored

My garden mushrooms (using metal mixing bowls) are all set for spring gardening. I'm so glad I started early this year.

Hey CJ...I could probably use another box of scraps pretty soon. Keep me in mind!

Today I worked on my own Bubble-Gum Machine, started a Broomstick-Lace Baby Blanket, took down
too ratty-tatty roller shades in this Rental we live in, and cut the ratty parts off and glued
the stick-back into the bottom of the shade, and wall-la...good as new. And shortened my husbands
office curtains. The landlady can't put any money into her properties at the moment because she
is going through a nasty divorce and everything is frozen by order of the Court. I just couldn't
take looking at those Shades another minute. Tacky! ~ I have found that having no teeth does not
keep you from being a busy little beaver. LOL

Live Loved,
peggy
