Welcome to my crafty little corner! Feel free to comment and follow me on my path to creativity. I love meeting new people, so don't be shy! Scrapbooking, journaling, making felt plushies, embroidery, painting, photography, blogging, organizing, reading, and sewing are some of my most favorite things.
The mailman really loved me today. I got so many amazing things from my crafty and talented friends :D I got a package today from my good friend Carol who surprised me with my very own Crocheted Octopus Ornament. I have been raving about them for awhile now and she made me one! She also made me this super cute spool of thread ornament! Isn't she the best?
I also got my order in from Polka Dot Robot! I ordered a bunch of these cute button cuffs. She surprised me with a bow cuff!! LOVE IT!! Thank you so very much!! Next thing on my list is this amazingly cute Panda Hat.
My Magical Journey painting on a wooden block came in too!! It's a series that Faith from Leaves and Feathers put together. I absolutely love it, it will be the focus point in my craft room. This series is so inspiring to me. Faith is an amazing painter! She is so talented, I wish I could buy all of her paintings.
She put in these beautiful note cards which will most likely end up hanging on my wall too :D
I finally got pictures of my finger-knitted garland, I still have room on the sides for more Christmas cards! I added pom-poms to the tops of it, thanks to Ashley for teaching me :) I think it turned out really cute. I will most likely be keeping it up after Christmas (minus the cards) because I love it so much, and it matches my decor! Can you spot my Hayden with the reindeer antlers?
It took me 4 hours to write this post because I got distracted by my favorite ladies!
Just had an awesome video chat with them. I look forward to girls nights even if it's only via internet! I was planning on finger-knitting, and button-sorting but was having so much fun I didn't have time! I am so grateful for each and everyone of you :D Hope everyone has an awesome Christmas, can you believe only 2 more days!?
xoxo,
Lindsay
P.S I FINALLY finished wrapping presents tonight...thank goodness...
That painting is gorgeous! And hey, there's my card. Yours is sitting on the table next to my crafting table. I'm jealous that you're going to have a craft room...I would love that. *love*
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful things you got in the mail! I am so happy that you love Magical Journey, I am absolutely thrilled with how the wooden block shows off the prints! I really hope that it brings blessings to your space as you create. Have a wonderful Christmas, it looks like your decorating is really pretty...and I'm sure your little munchkins love this holiday as much as mine do!
