Earthday or Any Day Crafts. I thought I would share two projects to do with the kiddos while they are at home. Some of you are homeschooling and while I am not, nor am I an expert both of these can be used as educational enrichment. I am always looking for fun things to do with my granddaughter and, although…
I recently showed some of my loomed seed bead art at a local art show. I was told bout it and invited while I was doing the craft fair in town. I was rather excited and, frankly quite nervous about doing an art show. I had just started to get used to the idea of my stuff being art and…
The 3″R’s” Closed for Business I was talking with my husband the other day about recycling. The biggest recycling company in our area (maybe state or even country wide)went out of business. It left a lot people holding the bag, (well not literally), full of plastic bottles and empty cans of soda and energy drinks. I was thinking that when…

I made a quick video on how to Crochet a 4 DC Cluster. It is a nice cluster when using 4dc. More Double Crochets…
One of the tools I use a lot was invented by Sir Isaac Newton. It is a color wheel. Although I have an intuitive knack for picking colors, a color wheel is helpful to have a round when you are not just sure. Perhaps you have challenges with color combos. Nothing to be ashamed of. When I worked as a…
I have, up until this point, been living the life of Riley. Retired young, living in an adult community with plenty of amenities and “clubs” to join, I have had a nice life style, if not boring. This is all about to change. Well, I will still live where I do. I love my house and my community, but my…
I have been seeing a lot of kits and do-it-yourself projects, I sure you have as well, to make little fairy gardens or, I have seen them called gnome gardens.
