THEY'RE MULTIPLYING


I'm addicted to making felted beads. It's great to do while watching TV. I am having a difficult time wrapping the wire loop. It never turns out right. Oh well, I hope I improve with practice.
Today is a big birthday bash for my grandson Alex.
He's celebrating his 16th. We all know what that means. Time to drive. I'm sure I'll worry at first, but I know he's a good driver and I hope he stays responsible. Pictures of his party later.......
Getting ready to paint the whole house. A week from today I need t o have all the furniture moved to the center of each room. UG, lots of work.
It's funny how I'm having a difficlt time choosing the perfect colors. I keep going back and forth and changing my mind. I normally can pick color combinations right away. Is it too dark or too light, will it match the furniture and contrasting colors? On and On! JUST MAKE A DECISION!

FELTED BEADS


I've been busy felting little beads for my Art Unraveled Trade.
Last night as I was watching "Dancing With The Stars" while I was felting. I kept pricking my finger instead of the felt. OUCH. Can't do both at the same time.
So anyway, I finally decided what I'm bringing to trade. The picture shows what my little charms will look like along with the card they will be attached to.(At least for now. Who knows, I might change my mind).
Not much else is going on. I'm trying to coordinate colors for my walls. I've decided I'm tired of staring at white . Time to Paint.
This is such a hard decision. I thought it would be easier. My walls look like patchwork. I keep trying different colors.
Back to the store to check out more samples.
