Quick Card

Here is a really quick card I did for a young man in our troop for his Eagle Court of Honor. I gold emblossed the fleu'de lis. The gold behind the puch is gold paper. I think all of the supplies except for the punch are Stampin Up.




I do have a lot on the horizon. Things after April slow down a lot. No more teaching at co-op & no den meetings until September. I went through my yarn stash and made myself some knitting kits. (I can't take credit. I read the idea on the yarn harlots blog.) Now when I want something to knit and don't want to hunt down the pattern to go with the yarn I had in mind for it. It is all in one place now. I made about 11 of these kits. Not all of them are socks. Some are unfinished projects. Sadly, some of those unfininshed projects are still on needles and ready to go. No excuses to finish some of them.




I bet I could make myself some card making kits too. One day make up a card I like. Which I think is half the battle. Then make a kit to make about 20 of them. I would always have a gift of cards for someone after finishing a few of those kits.




Ideas are bubbling. Since our wreck getting through just life has been a battle. With nicer weather and slower days it seems I am getting my mind around being creative and making things. I miss that over the last six months.
Till the next time.

Purely for Function

I have three male dogs. They are constantly spraying so I saw this idea to save my floor and furniture. I just tied a piece of felt around him with a bow. This was a temorary solution. I got them all neutered and it worked like a charm. Yeah, I am happy about that.



I know this isn't much. I have been so busy with scouts, school and life. I haven't had time to do much crafting, creating, or knitting. I see summer on the horizon. I am thinking sweaters will be my projects for the family. Maybe workout as Christmas presents for this year. Who knows?



Hope all is well with whoever may read. Till the next time I hope to have something to share.
