Good Day Ladies:
Today was a typical fall day here in Ohio...rainy, cool, windy, leaves blowing. A great day to just stay inside and curl up with a book or a craft project. Unfortunately, I could not do either...I was helping with that part time job still. It should be finished tomorrow...and then off to another job on Monday. I love having some extra cash since my husband was out of work for 3 years, but oh how my crafts have taken a back seat for the past few months. I am still just planning my Thanksgiving menu and Cookie list along with thinking of my new craft adventure...
I hope that everyone is well and that this writing finds them in good health and great spirits...
Have a great day

Good Evening Happy Crafters!!!!
Well tomorrow is the big day....1st day of FALL...Oh how I love autumn...The smell, the colors, the sights, the decorating...getting ready for Thanksgiving. Oh and the weather...I love the cool mornings. Today was a non productive day concerning crafting for me. I was helping a friend of my do some packing work at a local factory. I will be helping the rest of this week and all next week...10 hours a day. It looks like my crafting will once again be put on hold. But I am looking forward to buying some new material and supplies so I can keep on working in the garage...My Craft Space.
I love to plan parties and make lists. October will be a busy list making month for me. I usually start making up my Christmas Cookie Lists and my menu for Thanksgiving. Typically, I feed about 30 people on any given holiday and have been known to make thousands of cookies. I love cooking for the holidays and crafting table and house decor to match the holidays. Funny how life comes full circle for some...when all my children were all little they used to love making christmas cookies with me and then kind of grew out of it in their teen years. Then they decided that I went over board for the holidays. Now that 3 of the 6 are out of the house, they are the ones who can't wait for the holidays this year and have put in special requests already. Now they miss my cooking and being extravagant!!!!! And now, it's even better since I have little grand kids running around the kitchen with me.
Have a great day everyone and keep inspired!!!!

Well, Hello fellow bloggers. It has been quite some time since I last posted. I guess the only explanation I have is that I was in a craft "funk". I hope and pray that most of my fellow readers will know what I am talking about. There was a time , in the past several months, that I did not pick up one piece of material, look at one pattern, think about one single craft project. I have no reason, just that I felt out of sync with the world and with my abilities. Since that seems to have passed, I started crating again, added a few new creations and became a grandmother. Maybe the grandkids inspired me...who knows....My 2nd oldest son left for over seas, my oldest daughter has graduated high school and left for college, and my oldest son adopted 2 beautiful children and he & his wife are expecting a new baby girl in January. I am excited about all the new aspects of what life has to bring. I will be posting some new pics and promise to try to make the attempt to keep on blogging!!!
Have a Blessed Day and keep crafting.....
