It's Crafty Things again and I have been working hard this week!  I'm leaving this morning for our denomination's district women's retreat and I was invited to bring my craft items and set up a table there.  So I'm excited!  And apprehensive!  And feeling like I don't have enough items.

Here is what I put together this week.

2 aprons.

Some more tea totes.  I added a snap to each one.

And some cards.

I'm all crafted out!  :-)

If you've been working on a craft item - sewing project, knitting, crochet, paper projects or anything else crafty, link up and share your blog post. The only thing I ask is that you link back to my blog.  You can use the "Crafty Things" button if you desire.  Also, when you link up, please put in the URL of  your craft post from today, not just your general blog URL.  It will make it easier for people who really just want to see the craft post. 


I'm leaving this morning so I won't be able to get around to your blogs until later on this weekend but I'm looking forward to seeing what you've been creating!

    Look at all the beautiful things you made! I can't imagine you won't do very, very well with them, but I'll still say 'good luck!'

    Cammie, you can hold your unused tea bags in them and have a place to store them in your purse.

    Why/where do you take tea bags in your purse? I think they are real cute and wondered what else you could do with them?

      Lots of tea drinkers I know carry tea bags in their purse so they can have a cup of tea whenever they are out. You could use them for almost anything though. Change, medicine, tissues, whatever you want.

    I love the aprons, Terri and your cards are lovely. I am sure that lots of ladies will want to purchase them because not all of us are as gifted as you are and being creative.

    I love the tea totes. I am sure they will go over big too. You could even use them to hold your tissues in your purse. Either a pack of tissues or a few tissues from a bigger box. I am sure that they could be used for other things as well. Hope you sold everything!

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
