Never Sneeze While Crafting


Have you ever had one of those days when everything goes wrong? Mine started early after taking my daughter to school. I get my big box of mica flakes out dipping some things I had handsewn the night before. I knew not to start this early as my sinuses are always a mess in the morning. A sneeze came on and I could not turn fast enough. Mica flakes FLEW everywhere. Fine tiny pieces in my face, up my nose, on the floor and floating in the air. I don't know if you have ever played with mica but it just doesn't fall off. It attaching itself like a leech.
My next faux pas was the old elbow in the glue on my brand new sweatshirt. Oh well I knew it would get ratty sooner or later maybe I should of stuck my elbow in the mica flakes.
Then came the teeny tiny tiny marbles I use on my snowflake pictures. I should of tried to put them back in the bottle but those things once they let loose go faster than my poor body can catch them. My other elbow hit the container I had them in of course I did not put the lid down good. Lost them all. Had to vacuum them up as they are a lost cause to sweep up. Maybe just maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

The best part was Rosie promoting over and over her book Visual Chronicles. I just wish we could of heard more from our 2 artist over Rosie. Cos Linda has the sweestest softest voice.

Woolly Day

Fall is finally in the air so today was wash all the wool. Running the washer on hot all day is much better in the Fall and Winter. Warms the house nice and cosy. This time I decided to cut all the wool off the clothes-sniff sniff- and save the silk inerds for eye relievers. I sew them up and put flax seeds in them. They feel fabulous on your eyes. So all my wool is felted and ready to cut ornaments and penny rugs. I didn't need more wool but I cannot resist getting it when it is there for the taking. You ca see at this time many of my new wool ornaments on Ebay as well as in my catalog. I am working on all Winter and Christmas items.

Visual Chronicles

Well it was an exciting day for me! A fellow friend and artist was on THE VIEW today. Linda Woods and Karen Dinino made their debut. It was a nice segment on scrapbooking and journaling. They promoted their book Visual Chronicles and new cool t-shirts. They even managed to get a few words in over Rosie O'Donnell, that is and was an amazing feat in itself. If you get a chance check out their website www.visualchronicles.com. You may learn some fun and cool stuff along the way. Don't forget to tell them Sherrie sent ya!
