Monday

Last year, I worked on Halloween projects all summer long.  This year, not a new Halloween creature, witch, or doll so far!  And I have projects that have been sitting for more than 6 months; not necessarily Halloween creatures, just heads started in December or January.

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

some more crinkly seam binding from Bluebird Lane--scrumptious!  

The packaging is a pleasure in itself.

 Some shades of pink and some fall colors.

 And a little bonus gift.

Always love lagniappe!

Also ordered some more sari ribbon from Victorian Gypsy Girl.

Opened the ribbon up and pressed it --

lovely stuff!

Now, the challenge is to get up to the studio, decide on where to start, and get busy.

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!
