keeping busy





I'm always doing something. I'm not one to sit around with nothing doing. I yard sale for great finds. I craft things and of coarse work on the house. I made these cute little hearts to share. They could be used on my Christmas tree or use as tags for my cute little yukie things. they take no time to make. I cut scraps of white fabric into hearts and glued 2 together with jute as the hanger. I used rubber stamps to add words like hope and joy. I could have used some fusible product, but it was easier to use white glue since I had it on hand. Try some from other cool yukie fabric that you have. I used old linens and an old well worn tbl cloth.

My fun finds this weekend were really nicer than not. Jewelery jewelery jewelery I love it. Cranky yukie sweet of just fun. I make it new again or use it like it is. I made cards for mine to take to the sleepy poet. Ill fill a bowl full of my jewelery cards. I love the I hope everyone else does too.
I'm off to the house today to start taking all the nails out of all that old siding and beadboard. I am saving it for crafty projects. All the chippy paint should make for some interesting things. We decided to save as much as we could and reuse it so it doesn't end up in a landfill. There is so many options for Kool yukie stuff. If you have any ideas let me know.
