Another year.....

Sure wish I had a new project to post, but I keep starting one and then putting it away.  Just can't find anything that I really want to get into.  But at least I'm looking for something now! :)





In the meantime, hubby bought us a vintage motorhome to play with.  Not that 'play' would be my choice of what's involved!  But so far, I've managed to sneak in and make 2 of the 3 sets of draperies and new booth cushions--plus sponge painting a wall....  Then he started in on the furnace repair, which involved removing the couch (and scattering tools everywhere there was a flat surface), the upholstering of which is high on my list of things to do!

I got a few "before" pics taken, but they'll keep until I can take the "after" ones.

Finally...

I've actually started crocheting something! :0 Can't work very long before the shoulder starts to complain, but hoping that gets better....

My first attempt at bead crochet--trying to copy a scarf. We'll see how it goes! :)

Crafting once more!


One day I realized that basketball season was starting soon and I didn't have a thing to wear to my grandson's games--so I made a bracelet. I liked it well enough that I made another for my DIL, and then another, and another and started discovering a few people who wanted one! So, I'm still making them--and actually selling a few!

Any day now, I need to put away the seed beads and get out the faceted, plastic beads to make some Christmas ornaments to give for gifts this year.... An elderly lady in town gave me a large box full of the beads, plus quite a few patterns, so I have to do SOMETHING with them! :)

AND, I'm wearing out all my socks! Got plenty of sock yarn...I guess that'll be my next project. Until then, I'm getting some practice at darning....
