This past weekend my husband was away so I had a full day to do some crafting which was fabulous. My living room was a disaster with glue guns, glue sticks, cardboard, fabric, buttons, paint, canvas, and more! Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the mess for you all to see but through the mess game a few new items from re-purposed materials and a few truly new items. I must say I am looking forward to when he is gone next month so I can do the same thing again. I love my husband dearly but feel so much more free to leave the living room a disaster when he is gone than when he is home and I know he appreciates me not leaving it a disaster when he is home.
This monogrammed A, which isn't finished yet, was made using buttons I've been collecting for years. Every shirt with buttons that you ever buy always has extra buttons which is great and fortunately I never need the extra buttons so this is what I have started.
I also made this pair of items which was a lot of fun for me! When I look at them I see the works of someone who is finally willing to express their artistic side no matter what the results. I also see areas of improvement which is great. In the words of a brilliant educators "Anyone to busy to reflect on one's practice is too busy to improve." Robert Garmston
