Another Holiday

Halloween has passed and Thanksgiving is around the corner. Then Christmas, so I'm making my own poinsettias for a wreath I have in mind.
More work ahead of me but here are two:

Coming Together

I acquired two really nice couches, the couple was such a blessing, who gave them to us. So, the craft room now has a couch, which my family enjoys sitting on and the other is in the living room, so we now have more seating for when we have company.

We also had a friends daughter over making cupcakes with Rebecca. They did an awesome job. They tasted great and looked great.

I kept myself busy as well. I've gotten back to quilting my winter quilt. Made some mini fairy tale pumpkins from

I used thread and cut out a few rounds to make them smaller. The orange one is followed exactly and the blue is with a few rounds removed.

OH MY GOSH!

I started to unpack some of my craft boxes today to try and get a start on organizing the many different crafts I have bought over the YEARS. 

Lisa I need you!  I found crochet, knitting (yes), cross stitch, plastic canvas, embroidery, regular sewing appliques and quilting. On top of that I found T-shirt forms and paints (dried of course).  Then all the beads and trim for making necklaces and bracelets, etc. and then ribbons to make wreaths and you name it if you can imagine it.


             H  E  L  P!!!!!

Getting Cosey

Woke up today of a cool 55° and being anemic I was freezing. Sweet hubby set me up and he started our first fire in fireplace.
Pretty.

Shelves

My sweet hubby got the idea (from so much yammering I made) to put up some extra shelves. YEA!

Now to fill them...hahaha...hey Lisa?

Not My Best

Keeping with the holiday I chose this picture to color.
One handed but not my best

Walking Disaster

I cannot believe it!   After having accomplished a minor craft ... I got up to go get me a drink. I slipped on some wood and twisted my knee.  Now it's hard to walk and painful to bend.  So now my left arm is out of commission and so is my right leg.

My mom told me as I was growing up that if I didn't have accidents I wouldn't be able to do all I've done.

Finally a craft

I had surgery on my left arm on the 18th of October.  If you've ever had surgery you know you have a few bad days of drug haze where it is not safe to do anything. The first two days I felt nothing as I received an arm block which left bruises on my arm. The third day I began taking pain killers every 4 hours. This was the beginning of my haze days.

Yesterday was the first day I felt decent. October  26th, I actually wanted to go shopping, however I settled for for firing my creativity by watching DIY videos.

Now mind you ... You are only limited IF you limit yourself.

I used my right hand and my feet. It took me awhile but I finally made a pom pom.
