Crafty


I went to a card party last Sunday--making cards, not playing cards.  I really liked these two projects because they are not overly fussy.

Mike has been working on the computer long hours for the past couple of weeks.  He is selling some of his rather vast collection of antique motorcycle memorabilia.  This has given him something to do during the rainy times, but it has also drastically cut down on the amount of time I have spent in my virtual world.

So, I have found other things to do. 
 I obviously was inspired by the origami card.

These are felted slippers.  I'm working on a second pair and a hat.

    I'm happy if you're happy.
    Crafting for me has never been anything but frustration. Except for knitting, which soothes me.
    Cutting out little pieces of things and sticking them together... Unh-unh.

    Oh, yes. I am very happy with scissors and glue in my hands. I have always been a person who is easily amused.

    you are, indeed, a craft woman. I'm wondering if there's anything you can't do.

    The cards are adorable. Was it a commercial card party, or just friends getting together and crafting? I'm guessing that scrapbook supplies could be used to make this type of card.

    Well, you are the crafty one! Beautiful results!
    Fortunately we were able to take our creativity outdoors and into the garden last week. And now I have boxes of stuff from my mother's house to sort through. It seems there is always something to do.

    I like how you are keeping busy. The slippers look really cosy and comfy.

    I went to one of those card parties once, expecting not to like it and ended up having a ball. We did mostly stamping.

    I could use that pair of slippers - it's COLD here in CA! I like the origami but don't think I'd have the patience.

    I have some felted slipper--in CA--and I'm wearing them now. You would think, being wool, they wouldn't be so comfy, but they are great. You've definitely been productive.

Updates

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
