Reality Check

OK, so the removal of sugar from the diet didn’t last very long, but I have cut back. On a totally different note…Wayne is doing some work on a house that a couple is flipping. I got off of work early today, so I stopped by. It was a total reality check. In actuality, I [...]

For pepping up sake, I am ignoring the disasters that consume most of the house and am focusing on all the positive things completed so far today: Got up early (I count 7:00 on a [...]

Capes

I can’t believe it has been over a month since last I wrote in the blog. Just shows that I haven’t done much crafty lately. I finished these reversible capes yesterday for my niece and nephew’s birthday. I slightly modified the pattern from Puking Pastilles. I think they’ll like them.
