Hi to You today! 🙂 Want to make a paper flower or two? We did Christmas ones over here. These are the same, just any-occasion paper. January is a good project month. I like making these and they’re easy. They can make me feel just a bit fumble-fingered when I flatten them to glue them in […]

Hey everybody! {Waving heartily!} 🙂 Here’s some yarn stuff that happened last week. Finger-knitting. Find videos on You-Tube if you’d like to learn. That’s what I did.

Ten Things In 2015 That Make Me So Happy
This week’s Ten Topic is Ten Things You Did in 2015 That Make You Feel Proud. I tweaked it a bit, because some of the things that popped into my head don’t quite fit under that category for me, but they make me SO happy! 🙂 1. Hand-knitted leaves and pom-poms. They’ve both been so much […]
