As Dorthy always says.."there's no place like home"....so, we safely returned from our trip to Arizona to drop off our daughter Emmi. It was great family time, beautiful scenery and lots of time to think about things I want to craft! I want to work on altering canvas for the month of December (a Christmas idea), work on having cards for every holiday and birthdays, start working on stamping on blank metal to make ornaments, work on some altered art ideas from things I bought a while ago and knit...and of course Halloween projects are an absolute MUST! I could go on, but it overwhelms me to even type out my ideas, much less do all of them with school lurking around the corner!
As for my vacation crafting plans, I did complete 4 knit washcloths, 4 pumpkins (need to be felted) and 5 coffee cuddle-rs on the trip in the rv..pretty pleased with myself. Photos of them need to be uploaded for you.
As I reflect on what I did and what I want to accomplish I find that if too much time goes by without the creation of something my mood starts to become a bit ugly (just ask that wonderful family of mine). I need the release of creating as well as completing something with my hands on a regular basis or I get frustrated. I need to list my ideas, inventory what I have and what I need and complete a timeline for these crafts. Although I am fully aware that the craft police do not keep a careful watch over me, more realistically I find comfort in being organized even in my processing of my projects..make sense?
As for now I must organize the craft goods I bought as we traveled the Southwest...and make my master list because there will be much happiness in the land when I go to Milwaukee next week and I get to go to HOBBY LOBBY!! I ADORE THAT STORE!! 3 hours to wander and take in all the wonderfulness is just waiting around the corner for me.....I feel like a kid and can hardly wait!
As for now, no more computer, more crafting and organizing..
Toodles,
Lola
