End of Round Two
My friend, Misty came over for a painting party...
I turned a few leftover flowers from the unicorn flower pot into magnets. I'd bought the magnets at the Dollar Tree a long time ago and didn't realize that the magnet wasn't removable from the plastic circle they come in. I won't buy these again--I'll stick with the craft magnets at Wal-Mart or Hobby-Lobby.
Along with my unpainted canvases are several failed painting attempts and paintings that I simply didn't like. I repainted this over another painting. I got the idea for the painting from my girl at Paintology 101.
This painting sat unfinished for more than a year. One day, the idea hit me on how to finish it. After a couple of hours, I reached the "leave it alone" stage and declared it done.
From the moment I started the painting, I'd planned to hang it over my dresser. Now the "staging" of my dresser area is complete...pretty much.
If you've been following my 50 for fifty journey on my sister blog, you know that one of my goals was to make 200 pairs of baby booties for Colorado Family Life Center. I finished all the booties last week and delivered them, along with some newborn diapers and the 12 crocheted blankets I made last year to the center. Soon after I left, this couple chose a couple pairs of the booties. Blessings to their new little one.
OK, so this is more of a tool than a craft supply, but I bought new blades for my paper cutter over Christmas break and just now got around to changing them out. When the cutter shreds the paper instead of cut it, it's time for a change. I don't know what the hold up was; they take less than 5 minutes to change. Anyway...may many card blessings come from these new blades.
Well, that brings this round to an end. I have made a significant dent in my craft supply/unfinished project pile...and I'm officially out of yarn! I'm done with my courses, so I have a lot more time to craft and create. There are still things left that I will continue to finish up and and post, but I'm officially off of craft restriction. The goal is to use things as I purchase them to avoid the backlog I had before.
