What are your interests or crafts?

I used to make beautiful and safe gel candles and belonged to a bunch of different boards where I posted pics of my latest creations. I partnered with a gal who made soaps and we did the craft circuit for a couple of years. It got too hard on both of us eventually. That stuff is heavy and setting up, taking down, etc really wears you out. I spent more money than I made!

Now I do "fly by night" stuff as my friends call it. One hobby after another. Tried beads, macrame, stamping. My craft (crap) room is so full of stuff I can't even get in the door. My latest thrill is cactus and succulent collecting and container gardening. I have some really weird stuff I'm hoping will make it through the winter. They've become my babies!

I'm thinking about getting back into machine quilting this winter. I just have to get that room cleaned out. I know there's a Bernina in there someplace!

Since I set up a family website this week, I've been going through the old family pics to post on the website. That has made me think that it's time to get back to scrapbooking. I love doing that and it's a good way to pass down the family history.

Oooh Ferret & Soduko, right up my alley- LOL
MaryKay, that is a great idea... Let me help my daughter get past this Kimono project she is working on and I will have to pull out my Holiday ideas- LOL (from my head, that is)- I usually brainstorm as to what I will do, I love watching the latest trends but I like to come up with the "unique and unknown"- I am sketching a pattern right now... all I will say is it is pertaining to my newfound habit... LOL

I have a black thumb, I kill all plants. I love orchids and wish I wasn't such a mass murderer when it comes to plant life.

I can make a very good sugar version of a few orchids.

How do you pronounce dichroic ?

I thought I was the only one that did that! Every time I brought a plant home, my daughter would shake her head at the plant and say, "I'm sorry Plant, you're going to die soon."

Way over my head with all the talent here! From life-like dolls to engine rebuilding .. wow! I am blown away by it all.

I have always been an avid reader. Love my books. Wrote one but never really pursued marketing for it. "thoughts in motion" by sylvia - you can possibly find it on amazon.

I'm mostly a dabbler .. I've dabbled with:

Jewelry and polymer clay projects.
Acrylic and watercolor painting.
Woodwork.

Now I'm mostly into my grandson and vaping products.

And that's where dabbling comes in handy! get lots of kid friendly crafts to do with the G'boy. Mine have a big box of projects to do, from clay to painting, popsicle sticks to model planes. They used to say what work do we need to do this time G'ma?
You never can tell where their talent lies..just let them try everything! My sports minded 16 year old G'son found that cooking is his thing..the 9 year is wonderful at any art project, but excels on the computer.

Happy Halloween!

Looks like this month and next are going to be busy for me. I had some crafts planned but they have changed into

6 candle baskets
15 soap/lotion baskets

4 shawls
2 afghans.
1 wrap
1 point star afghan

Started one of the afghans last night. Got One row done. But its made up of 63 2in granny squares. Times 10 rows. So that's 630 little 2in squares I'm gonna have to make for this one. And I might have to make it bigger. Its for my father in law. Who took my mom in law's tampa bay throw. So she requested this one so she can get her throw back!

The shawls wont be to hard. Except for one that was a request for dolphins. So I'll have to make up some squares with the dolphins and turn it into a shawl. With a matching afghan.

Not enough time.. LOL I stayed up and worked on the first afghan for 12 hours. And that is just one row.

Ok back to work. Lots to do!

found the perfect home for my scrappy log cabin quilt I have new neighbors that live further down the road, (that house is a curse) every family that has lived there doesn't last long.. I tried to tell him about our dirt road and that I had a professional contractor come out and shape a part of the road a certain way to insure drainage, explained to him how we would be trapped down here for weeks if I hadn't of had it done.. The new neighbor didn't like the fact that he would have to slow down to pass through it so he got another neighbor to fill it in... Now both his vehicles are sunk side by side in it, totally trapped now never mind the 5Oft pond of water and soft bottom mud.... Be another week before it might be dry enough for me to even get close to it , to try to fix it with my tractor .. after he gets his vehicles out of it.. not...

So my current quilt project will go to my long time neighbors Robert and his wife Bev for coming down from Denver to take me into town to replenish my supplies. we will have to leave them on the road and walk them in to my property... (sigh)... I love having a perfect home for a project, I work better that way ...
