May 14th 2020 Shop Update. I have a lot of unfinished or just about to begin projects. Do you ever feel like you MUST finish one before starting another? I do, but I start them anyway. It’s like having Crafting ADD or something. I do eventually finish everything. There may be some exceptions. Not many though. This week I talk…
I got a table I like making things. I like making things so much I got an Etsy store. (www.craftedbytw.com if you don’t know by now). I do sell things on there. I get the “Can you make me a” commissions. I have a Square Shop (free version). I sell my things mostly to get some cash to make more…
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…
Any one who crochets as much as I do always ends up with those bits of yarn that are too much to toss, but too little for a full project.
One cannot crochet without the hook. I know “Thank you Captain Obvious”. Its funny though, I have spent decades crocheting and never gave too much thought to the hook. My main concerns were the hook size and how it felt in my hand. I have recently learned, however, that there is more to a crochet hook than that. ANATOMY There…
I have been making crochet granny squares with clusters. They have been fun, a circle in a square thing. I have always liked mixing it up when making grannies to keep me from being overly bored. 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…
