Summer Fun

I've been working on a few projects over the last few days. Crafts are a great way to spend time doing something I love, and it's cheap entertainment. :-) Here's a board I made:



I already had a little corkboard that needed sprucing up, so I weaved ribbon over it until it was completely covered. Then I glued letters and other fun little pieces to push pins, and voila! I chose "get up" because those are some of the only letters I've glued so far, and also it's a problem I've been having...getting up. I think I could sleep most days away, because when you don't have anything to get up for, what's better then sprawling out on some comfy sheets and falling in and out of peaceful dreaming? Today I set my alarm for 8:30 and got out of bed at 10:00. I am a sucker for sleep. :-)

I babysat my three lovely nieces last week, and their momma (my SIL) bought a bead kit for us to make stuff out of. How badly I wanted to craft some cute little animal out of them, but I didn't know how! Last night I got to Googling and found some simple patterns for free. I found some beads and string, and in an hour or so, I had these three guys!


I have to say that the gecko is my favorite. Today I'm off to Hobby Lobby for some more beads and string. I have no idea why these are so fun, but I LOVE MAKING THEM!!!

I've also been...coloring. I'm sorry, but you're never too old to color. My mom got me this rad coloring book made by a lady she knows. It's so fun to get out every once in a while and give life to one of the pages. Here's one I finished yesterday:


Love it! I laid the book down on my step where the sun from the window was coming through. Cool effect, huh?

So that's what I've been working on. What will I make today? :-) :-) :-)
