I'm determined to get back to some creative activities, whether clay or fabric. My addiction to reading has to be controlled, and actually making something has to get a re-start.
After Suzie's visit, I looked through my stash and decided to order
The packaging is a pleasure in itself.
Some shades of pink and some fall colors.
And a little bonus gift.
Always love lagniappe!
Opened the ribbon up and pressed it --
lovely stuff!
Bryce Eleanor beat me at two games of Go Fish Saturday on Saturday and one game of Concentration. You might think I let her win, but no, I was cut-throat and still lost! She takes after her mother with games.
Sunday, though, I actually won ONE game, and I was hopping around and whooping like the aging idjit I am...at having one a game of Go Fish against a seven-year-old. I should have been ashamed, but finally winning a game was too exciting!
I'm sure the seven year old in question just loved watching you hop around with glee!
ReplyDeleteShe was a better winner than I was...but then she had more experience at winning. :)
DeleteYou're a girl after my own heart! I love the crinkled seam binding and sari ribbons. I have quite a nice stash but looking at these two sites I might be making another purchase soon *smile*. These are two item I can never get enough of - even if I just look at it and run my hands through it that's worth having them around.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the crinkled seam binding pretty? I love her color choices, and she is so prompt. Last year I used her shades of grey and shades of orange selections on many of my Halloween creatures. When I open the drawer with the left-overs, I still smile.
DeleteMoni Bean recommended Victorian Gypsy Girl for the sari ribbon, and this is my second (satisfied!) purchase from her.
Time to make use of some of my purchases. :)
Get thee into the studio and create! Just kidding, of course, but I do hope that beautiful ribbon gets you started up. I've missed your interesting work. Of course, I have had to control a reading addiction in the past, so I understand your problem getting away from the books. They do have a way of luring us in and holding us hostage for days, weeks, months!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary! After all that fun with the fidget quilts in the spring, I've been so lax. :) I know you understand about the lure of books! It is a serious addiction that is under-acknowledged, yeah?
