Just wanted to pop in today to see if I actually remember how. It's been a rough couple years since my last post, but wanted to let you all know that I am still here even though I don't post any longer. I'm starting to slowly create again and also to find new passions.
Here are a few of the things that I have been doing.
I learned how to knit a year ago and have fallen in love with it. Mostly I make scarves for BackPack Project Minnesota which supplies scarves and other warm items to homeless teens. I aslo make these dishcloths which I can never keep in stock at a local store.

At a local shop I have been working one Sunday a month (4hours) in exchange for classes. So far I took a glass fusing class and then recently I took a alcohol ink class.
We practiced placing the alcohol inks on the backside of photo paper and YUPO paper before moving onto the 6x6 tiles.
I love how the tile turned out. If you turn it just right you see (or I should say I see) a roosters head. Someone else said a blowfish. I just need to put 6 layers of a topcoat on it then I will hang in my kitchen where I keep all my roosters.
I have also learned how to sew so have been making kids activity totes complete with crayons and colorbooks. In addition to those I have made baby bibs, doll bibs, little girl pillowcase dresses, microwave potholder bowls, reversible tote bags, zipper pouches to name a few of the things.
Last but not least I finally started using my Silhouette Cameo after having it for about 4 years. At Christmas I made and sold personalized ornaments and now for Easter I am doing personalized Easter baskets.
And personalized Easter eggs.
And of course I am also making a few cards and working in an art journal. It is slowly coming back to me.
A few more cards and my Grinch mugs.
My art journal which is made from an altered 1963 McCalls Sewing Book.
Again thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.
