Adding to my Collection

I started to run out of room with all of my new jewelry I've been working on. So, I made another Jewelry Box for my necklace and earring sets and hung it just below the first one.


Everything on the top row is original, only a few on the middle and bottom are original. When I get jewelry going for sale, I'll start making these to sell, too.

Awesome Surprise

For New Year's we went to the house of an old college friend of mine. We noticed a really cool painting just inside the front door and asked him about it. He immediately lit up and said he had something for me, and that I was the perfect person for it. We followed him back to his bedroom and he produced this painting: The one one the wall has less color, but is no less cool.


This is a close up of the painting. It is covered with Hershey's Kisses flags. And yes, he ate all of these. Both paintings are about 20"x30". That's alot of Kisses. We brought it home and found the perfect place for it. He started painting about 8 years ago and several different sized and themed works all over his house. Hopefully one day he'll have some in a gallery.

What I've been up to

This is my new hobby. I love it. These pieces are for the Craft and Bake Sale happening at Wildlife on December 6, from 9 am until 2. If you live nearby, be sure to come see us. This is the 16th Annual Sale and all proceeds go to the Center. There are other crafts, too, all donated by volunteers and members. Usually lots of crochet/knit items, holiday items, pet treats, baked and canned goods, lots of good stuff. Park admission is $3 for adults, $1 for kids.

Crafty

I was finishing up a crochet project, and remembered that my grandmother used to crochet really thick blankets by using 2 lines of yarn. I wanted to try it out just to see if I could do it. I did a short line, turned, finished the second line and became inspired. With just a few more stitches and adjustments,

Voila!! More will be made!
