I LOVE CRAFTING! I’ve loved it since I was a young girl. Dad and I would craft, glue, cut, sand and create for hours and then we’d go to craft shows to sell. Thinking back on all that, I’m not sure if we were there mostly for the selling or more for the visiting Dad got to do with the new people he’d meet and the old friends who would come by. Either way, so many great memories of both making and selling are mine while my mind holds them.
My photography business is a lot of work and takes most of my ‘free’ (free?) time, but in my heart are other undeniable yearnings. Writing, for one, and crafting for another. My girlfriend encouraged me a few months ago not to sell of my scrapbooking supplies, which largely resemble a small store by now, that I was advertising to come. I’m SO glad she saved me from making that mistake! Now, here I am Hit by the DIY Craze once again. Along with my camera and all that brings, I’m spending some time letting my brain relax by finding some new dyi things to keep my fingers busy and my heart happy.
Yesterday I made a wreath that I can see a lot of use for, but right now I’m thinking about Christmas. Can’t you see these hanging in the middle of your windows with a battery operated candle illuminated below? Or, how about tied in a bright ribbon and hung in front of the mirrors in your home? I threw mine on my curtain so it had some backdrop of color to show off its delicacy, and I love it here, too! (excuse the cellphone pic quality)
Oh, they’d be so beautiful for weddings. <3 Easy as pie to make with any wreath you can find (foam, straw…), coffee filters and a glue gun. Where can you see these hanging in your home? I think I’ll be making some for an upcoming craft show. Yay!
Joy - It really is pretty Tami. Looks amazing against those curtains.
Can I ask how many coffee filters it requires? Is there a link to an instructional blog?
Can’t wait to see what other crafts you’re going to create!
Blessings,
Joy
