It has been a long time!

Almost a year has gone by since I have worked and posted on my blog, wow!

A lot has happened. I no longer teach sew and quilt classes and find the freedom to be awesome. Now I can concentrate on getting my UFO’s done. I have added a few other crafts to what I do on a regular basis such as rubber stamping and Bible journaling. Also, I have made an effort to get back to my crocheting and knitting.

I finally taught myself how to knit a pair of socks and have a few pairs for hubby and me to wear. They sure are warm and nice in the winter time. I am confused as to why I could not figure it all out before. Now I have the hang of it, I find it easy. I guess that is how it goes.

As far as crocheting goes, I am in the process of crocheting a bag with pull tabs from coke cans. No, I did not drink a bunch of coke, I bought the tabs from ebay. It is rough going though as my teeth complain about the metal scraping on metal when crocheting with the tabs and even afterwards the teeth do not settle down.

Around last October, I began going to a neighbor’s for a Stampin Up workshop each month. I used to be into rubber stamping big time and even was a demonstrator Stampin Up and also Close to My Heart at different times. I really am enjoying getting back into it. When I gave up scrapbooking, I kinda gave up the rubber stamping too. But, now that I am doing it again, I am making cards instead of scrapbook pages. (I already have way too many scrapbooks collecting dust!)

Bible Journaling is an extension of the rubber stamping, but I find it much more fufilling. If you haven’t heard about it, look it up on Google and you will be amazed.

Thats just a little bit about this past year. I will be uploading pics and all. More to come later.
