I finished two more of the wooden circle decoupaged ornaments. I am determined to have a Christmas tree this year with all homemade ornaments. I have quite a few already but not near enough to fill up a whole tree. J
These aren't very good even though I followed directions.. have made better in the past just doing my own thing. Still now I'm not doing very good work anymore. Age?
And today I finished a basket of flowers for Kiko. This is the old basket we found. Mac cleaned it up and painted it. Those old baskets seem more sturdy than the new flimsy things in the store. Here it is. I like it.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things...
It rained all night.. dark and dreary. Then in the morning the sun broke through the dark rain filled clouds. Love is when someone calls to tell you to hurry and look out the window toward the west where there is a wonderful double rainbow.
Creating something...
I love crafts. I'm not a professional crafter,but I have lots of fun. One of my favorite things to make is Christmas ornaments. There's a great sense of accomplishment when one finishes a project. And there's a feeling of anticipation when one begins something new. I've always wished for great artistic talent, but that's not to be. Doing crafts,for me though, is more than just making something. When I'm working on a project I am also creating a more peaceful environment. I believe peace is probably the answer to many ills.
