Getting Ready
Laura and I are working on our display for an upcoming Starving Artist Market.
We also went by the venue, Good Road Ciderworks, and had a look at the space where we’ll be setting up, Oct. 2, 2021, from 1-6pm. We can do this!

Well, Hello!
It has been almost one year since I have posted. It was a most depressing year with a quarantine, political unrest, remote learning, vaccine development, and mask wearing.
You’d think with all that home time, I’d have done a lot of crafting. Not so. Moving to our second home in Charlotte, homeschooling, and clearing out Mama’s house have been my main occupations.
I went a year without seeing my friend, Laura. Now, we’re able to visit, and we are still planning to work a craft show.
My current project is making gift envelopes from magazine and catalog pages. Laura and I will use these to package jewelry that we sell at said craft show.
This is my favorite video on making envelopes:
I’m enjoying this quite a bit!

Soap Today!
We’re making soap with different colored layers, today!
My granddaughter is so proficient, all I have to do for her is cut the soap into blocks!
Ta Da!!!

Ironing Paper Bags?
That’s right. Today, on my birthday, I am ironing paper grocery bags!
I think I got this idea from the old HGTV show, “Room by Room.” (with Matt and Shari, you can still find them on You Tube.)
I am making photo dummies in different sizes. 
I have a photo canvas being created right now that will be 16×20″. In the meantime, I can carry my paper dummy with me to see where it fits best. 
I like it flanked on one side with a couple of 8×8’s.

Fairy Lights
Today, I’m making fairy lights for Vivien’s recently remodeled room at home.
I am using a string of white bridal lights, all-purpose white glue, and pieces of glittered, pink organza ribbon, cut on the diagonal, and tied in knots on each bulb.
