Collections as art

Today I'm over at Knoontime Knitting again talking about how a collection can become a piece of art. Stop by and tell me about what you collect!

Solving problems with crafts

My August post is up at Knoontime Knitting - stop by and find out how I problem solve with crochet. I haven't et figured out how to crochet a book - but as soon as I do, I'll let you know.

Pyramid Power!

I finished the April story today. It only took me six months to make this one work. SIX months!

I'm attributing my accomplishment to the power of the pyramids. Last night a friend who'd just returned from a trip to Egypt, brought us these cute little carvings and a little packet of sand from around the pyramids at Giza. [He didn't take the sand himself. Someone collected it for him.]

Today I bought the bottle and the placard charm at JoAnne's. I printed the little sign on my computer and made a little Egyptian display on my curio shelf. Maybe the power of the pyramids boosted my creativity so I could finally finished my draft! [And yes, that's one of my temari in the background.]

Visit me around Knoontime!

Today is my debut post over at Knoontime Knitting where I'll be blogging monthly about the Journey into 3D. My first topic is Japanese temari - come on over and visit me. I promise you'll have a ball!

Literally. I'm serious. Temari is the art of Japanese thread balls...don't take my word for it, stop by and see for yourself.
