A Weekend of Creativity

Holla, blog peeps.

♥

Hey, you know how I'm usually like, "Ooooh, I had such an awesome

weekend I can hardly be grumpy about Monday morning?"

Well, today I'm all, "OMG - such a GREAT weekend

and I want ONE MORE DAY!!!"

~sigh~

 

Ah, no sense in whining about it, but it's true - I'd love one more day to be able to remain in my creative space. This weekend I was all up in my creative business, working on some Christmas gifts and learning a new skill. This post contains photos of four different crafting projects that I can only show snippets of today. I'll include each of these projects in future blog posts once the recipients have their gifts and/or once these are fully completed.

 

I worked on making a few Christmas ornaments and finished up one for Miriam's Blog Friend Ornament Exchange. {Thing I love most about the photo above? My Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle bowl smiling at the top of the photo.}

Next project, some wooden spoons ready for spray paint...

I put the binding on Carrie's quilt and finished hand stitching it on Saturday night. I'm so happy to report that her quilt is complete and ready to wrap! {Note to self: be sure to photograph this before wrapping it for Christmas.}

Our friend Judy came over yesterday morning and taught me how to knit! Yay! I loved it, and I caught on quickly which made it even more fun. Judy helped me complete one dish cloth, and I worked on another one by myself after she'd gone home. {Thanks, Judy!}

Yesterday afternoon Carrie came over and I helped her with a sewing project. I'm not sure what I loved the most about that - teaching her a new skill or just having her in my creative space for a few hours. Gosh, this weekend was really good for my creative spirit!

Plus! It was Doug's birthday yesterday! He enjoyed a relaxing day of watching football, working on his Sunday crossword puzzle, banana pancakes early in the day, and his favorite chicken and rice dish for dinner. And presents. And cake.

And then along comes Monday morning and forces us to switch gears. I have something going on every night after work this week, plans for every lunch hour too, and a fun-and-busy-next-weekend on the horizon. I'm so grateful for my lovely busy life.

Have I told you lately how much I appreciate that you read my blog?

Yes, you. :o)

Have yourself an awesome week, dear friends.
