I'm having a BLAST crafting for the C'mas Swap! All the designs are my own. I did some altered scrap,which I had never tried before today.Just feels good to be creating…will have to share what I made at a later date obviously.Happy Flower

One source I found for beads is Crazycrow.com,  they have all types of craft items not just Native American items.  Any beaders might want to try them.

Don't cry because it's over—smile because it happened!

I made a dozen recipe cards for a swap I'm in and then a dozen Christmas Cards for another swap.  It was good to scrap for a change.  Tomorrow night I'm going to start a Christmas mini album.   It will probably go up for sale in the Shops here at Chickens in the Road.

And I know what I'm doing for the Christmas Swap!  Can't do much about it yet between the blurry vision and the possibility that making it could involve some sharp objects, which are still forbidden.  But I know what to make, and I know who is getting it!  Yippie.   Smiley Puppy

I have finally made my decision to end my membership at our local sewing club.

the ladies who are in charge are getting out of control…and I don't want a fight..so chicken as I am..I'm going to cancel.

THAT gives me the opportunity today…to sew the whole day..just for myself (and the swap)

And I'm going to make pumpkin butter…the puree I made yesterday.

That is a craft too……right?

Life is just too short to do anything you don't want to do, unless you risk something dire if you don't do it.  The sewing club will fight on without you.

That is exactly what I think….but there are ladies who I really like..so that is why it took some time for me to decide.

But I'm glad I did.

I designed our Christmas card today with photoshop and it's uploaded to snapfish for my great deal!  (Also loaded other photos too, to use as notecards)

That's a beautiful Christmas Card! Very nice design and cute pups!

I am making beaded lanyards, eyeglass chains and key chains today. its fun! The small key chains are a good way to use up the odd beads I have leftover from bigger things.

Besides quilting every day???  LOL

If I sit down on the couch for a minute and if I don't immediately have my elderly kitty jump up in my lap, I grab my thread crochet.  Besides sewing I adore crocheting.  I just love the thread crochet using the little thread sized 30 or 40 if I can find it.  Right now I am making a filet stitch table cloth.  I just can't sit and watch TV, my hands have to be busy with something.

I'm also sewing a Jewel Box quilt top a king sized one.  I have a queen size bed but I like the quilt to come farther down on the sizes and up over my pillows.

I love crafts!

I'm about half-way done weaving an alpaca scarf in a beige and white shadow weave.
