It is 5AM!
This is when I get my best work done. Everyone is asleep and I can work without interruptions. The first thing to do is make a list of the most important things to complete and make some goals. My list doesn't have to be long but needs to keep me on track. I make short term goals for the day...and longer term goals for the week. If I didn't have lists I would get nothing done because I always find an art supply that needs testing. Hope you have a fun and productive week! I started with a paperclay but I didn't like the way it looked... Moved on to a homemade clay/play dough that I like. Making little mice for a project that I love... More to come on that!
I really enjoy making things from clay. I don't have a kiln so I bounce around trying to find a good substitute. The play clay that I make works great for crafts and I can make as much as I like. I have made 10 paperclay animals and 4 clay mice. The paperclay animals are for another project now! As soon as they dry I can paint! That is when they come to life! I love crocheting granny squares... They are so easy to complete while I am watching a show.
This year I am using up some extra yarn. Last year I made a" 16th birthday'' gift. The yarn left over from a few projects will give me enough yarn to complete this one. The squares are starting to pile up and it fills my heart with joy! I am not the fastest crocheter but these only take 5-10 minutes. Amazingly fast! Have you picked a new craft for the new year? You still have time to get started. Cheers to a new year and a new craft! Looking at all the pictures I took of snow this past month filled my heart with a little bit of joy! We don't get snow often but this year we had two very good snow days! I went searching for past projects with snow as the theme. Making snow scenes and snowflakes is always fun. I hope you will enjoy this weeks winter wonderland!
