Hello friends! I’ve been absent for a while from the blog. We’ve been crazy busy around here (that seems to be my life, doesn’t it?) again… Last Thursday I did a video at the Inky Smiles Craft Lounge and then it was crazy day after crazy day and I didn’t have a chance to post the pics of the book or anything else crafty fun. Friday I had a bunch of errands to run and ppl to meet and 54…
A couple of weeks ago I was wandering around Big Lots while waiting for Brent to meet me at the ortho dr for a knee check up and saw this FABULOUS beaded and satin fabric frame that just needed to come home with me. {Seriously, it JUMPED into my card} So $5 and some tax later I was rolling all sorts of ideas around in my head for it.

I’ve been working on training him in the fine art of clothes shopping and buying clothes more than once per year, but… we must have gotten sidetracked somewhere, lol! Anyway.. we enjoyed a delightful dinner…

I also went to the dr again for my knee pain and had a lovely “little” cortisone shot in my knee. Let me just tell you… that was a whole new adventure in pain. LOL! It…

The pumpkins are sewn by machine to make the round and all the details are added in by hand stitching (instead of gluing). I will show you how it’s done when I do the UStream video next week.
