I
found a couple of hours today to play on my computer and avoid that big pile of laundry in the utility room. I love to go
to craft shows, especially the War Eagle Show in Rogers, Arkansas.
We make a day of it, endure the long lines of cars waiting in line to
park, and wear our walking shoes. It is a great show, features great
artists, great crafts and has just about everything crafty. If you
would like more information, below is the link to their site.
I have
always wanted to be crafty but my somewhat OCD personality makes it
challenging, very challenging for me. It is hard for me to start
something and then leave it out unfinished. So I recently moved a
cabinet in from the garage to store some crafty projects and
supplies. It also has to have space for work, files and some
storage.
The room looks pink but it is really a dark burgundy. |
Note:
sewing machine still in box. I recently went to the FM Store and
looked at fabric, apparently I may need to make payments in order to
make something. I didn't know fabric, notions, and scissors were so
expensive. I also went to Hobby Lobby and investigated taking up
scrapbooking. Again, I will need to exercise some stock options
before I start that type of crafting. Whew...
I am
going to “try” to be more crafty and make some things that I have
pinned on my “want to do” Pinterest Board. Just pinning them
makes me feel crafty.
My
right hand doesn't always do what my brain tells it to so I felt my
first projects should be something on the computer so that I can use
the “back” or “revert to previous” button. Here are a few
projects I would like to share. I am loving my Picmonkey!
My first collage using buttons and double border. |

Jackie- Your mirrored images are beautiful. I love your cabinet for crafting, too. I am a bit OCD, too, and like everything to have a place and be in order. Nice job! xo Diana
