Bookmarkers

I finished my little project, they are bookmarks. I have saved so many creative ideas, that I decided it was time to sit down an make a few things.

I had to cut out a few triangles before I got the perfect size. Much to my amazement the first bookmark fit perfectly in the corner of the page. I made the second one and it was a another perfect fit! That does not usually happen, my first patterns usually end up in the trash. I like a positive start!

I like that they are fast to make and the mess is quite small. I already gave one to a friend, that is going to the beach for a week and plans on doing a lot of reading. I gave her the green one with the sea shell.

I love the colors in this marker. I love red, yellow and blue together. I think I should use them more often.

I hope these can inspire me to make more things. I miss getting up in the morning and turning on my computer to see if I have any comments.

Thanks for visiting!

Warmer Weather

I am happy to report that warmer weather has finally made an appearance in Rhode Island. That means I can sit by the pool or in a comfy chair on the deck and read. I must say I do judge a book by it's cover. I love fireflies and the beach so I took a chance. The story takes place in New England also a plus.

I also started a small project today. Nothing big, it felt good to start working with paper again. The mess I can do without. I am happy to report that I have already put everything away. I can not let this hobby of mine take over my kitchen counter.

Hopefully, I will have a few finished by Friday.
Hope to see you then.

Celebrate

I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July. It is one of my favorite holidays.

I took this picture around dusk, I hope you can see the twinkle lights in the greenery, I love them. I can see the lights from my living room window at night. It makes me happy to see them when I am watching television reading or doing the dishes! You know it is the little things!

I am still not feeling that creative, but I had to wish everyone a Happy 4th!

Thanks for visiting!

Time Out

I am taking a little break from blogging. I'm not feeling that creative lately. My glue gun is in the drawer waiting patiently to see the light of day. After looking at this card, I am sure that I will be making more of these when that day comes. I hope to be back soon with a new creative spirit!

Wonderful Weekend

A few weeks ago I blogged about paper birds that I saw flying in local library foyer. On Mother's Day I put a few outside on these pretty pansies. It was a windy day and the birds were practically flying. My daughter thought it would be cute if I made a few pigs with wings. I am waiting for another windy day to see if this pig will fly.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for visiting.

I find the sight of a naked paper mache box a crime! If I buy one, it is with the intent to cover it with paper. The next objective will be to fill it with paper. Not ordinary white paper but paper crafts!

This box will soon find a home at my daughter's apartment. My daughter and her roommate lead very busy lives. My daughter has a 45 minute commute to work, her roommate works and goes to college. I hope to make there life a bit easier. Don't get carried away and think that I am going to help with the cleaning. I hate to clean! But I like a clean house, so I clean.

I will fill this box with cards, stamps and a pen. When they need a card all they have to do is find the box and pick a card, any card! I supply the pen and the stamp they will have to find a mailbox.

They both love owls, so I see owl cards in their future, many owl cards.

Parchment Paper Muffins

I bought a few food related magazines on Friday, one of them had cute muffins baked in parchment paper. I always have parchment paper on hand and bread/muffin mixes are always in my pantry. I cut the paper to fit the muffin tins and filled them 3/4 full. They did take longer to bake, about 10 minutes more. They look so cute! Not much pan cleaning needed, a bonus! I made pumpkin muffins, my family loves pumpkin muffins no matter what the season.

I bought this new mug on Friday. I thought it was the right size, for the amount of coffee I need to get going in the morning. We also love the red birds.

I plan to have this cute muffin after supper with a nice cup of chia tea. Yum!
