Good morning. It's 3:37 AM, I can't sleep. Not that I really have much time to sleep before I have to leave, but still, I can't sleep. Grrrrr. I've never been much of an insomniac, but for some reason this past week, I've been having trouble sleeping. I have a lot on my mind, if I can just shut off this silly brain....yes, I do have one of those! Anyway...
I've actually been doing some stitching! YAY ME! No really, YAY! I feel like I have some creativity back after a few years of doing practically nothing. I joined Pinterest a few weeks ago and I am finding all kinds of inspiration on there. I love that place! Here's my latest creations:
It's not the greatest picture, I am limited to my cell camera for now. But they are magnets! I found this pattern set: http://www.birdbraindesigns.net/products/509-americana-needlework-accessories.aspx , fell in love, pinned it. We are still short on cash due to the unemployment, and I wanted to make these into magnets for Mom, so I created them from the pictures-with my twist on them! They are made from felt, (Who knew felt was so quick and easy to work with?), embellished with beads and metallic sequin type things. I love how they turned out and I plan to make myself a set as well! I hope she likes them as well as I do. I think they are perfect for Valentine's day, and since she was JUST saying how she'd like to find a few Valentine's day magnets, they will work out well. Okay, so she was saying that before I started them, and that's why I made them into magnets, but still. Ha ha ha!
I miss crazy quilting in the worst way, but have lost the talent to do it. I don't know why, nothing I start is getting finished. I think it just takes me too long. I have about 5 hours wrapped up in those magnets, not too bad if I might say myself. I plan to attempt another CQ project soon, I want to make something with pictures of my horses. I don't know what quite yet.
I'm off to work, then home to bed. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep then.
Have a wonderful weekend!
