Two Crazy Crafters

Better late than never. I am sorry this post is so late, but we had an emergency with my son. It turns out he has kidney stones. He spent several painful hours waiting to see the doctor, but he is doing good today, sore, but resting. We are all tired from lack of sleep. We went to bed at 3:30!

Christmas was good. We had a wonderful time surprising each other with little gifts. I received some lovely things. My kids spoil me.

Lindsey made me this beautiful mushroom wall hanging. You remember my love of mushrooms.

I have not been making house shoes as much since Christmas is over so to keep my hands busy I have been making these little mushrooms. I made up my own pattern and I don’t count I just make each one different just as they are in nature. My kid’s stockings were full of these and they seemed to like them a lot.

Aren’t these books inspiring looking? They were gifts from Lindsey.

The pages are sooo pretty!

The new year is here and there is an anticipation that all the things we wish we could have done differently we now get the chance to do over and get it right. I, myself, hope to be kinder, gentler and more caring to those around me and those I meet. I hope to create more and be more productive.

We will open the book. It’s pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and it’s first chapter is New Year’s Day. – Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Wishing you and your family a safe and Happy New Year,
