Well, not really but that was all my brilliant mind could come up with at the moment.
My upper back, neck and elbow are killing me from a spill I took a couple hours ago while shovelling. The snow has not quit and the plows have not come through so I’ll be going back out again…bummer.
Calgon take me away… Hmmm, did I just date myself with that one.
AGH!!
I hate it when I get like this. I can’t seem to get into making anything!!! Too much stress…which I thought was a good thing before…has turned into overload for me. Apparently there is a threshold for stress. When it gets too high, my muse take s a vacation.
So here’s a gnome for your viewing pleasure.
When my husband got his new mini computer for work he mentioned that he really needed something to protect it from scratches and such during transport.
I immediately thought of using a denim jeans leg. I quickly made one up but discovered the denim just wasn’t thick enough.
Then I remembered these camo pants legs I had and the matching belt piece from yet another pair of pants. The original denim pants leg is the lining inside the camo. I also put some light weight foam at the bottom so the mini computer would have some cushion.
I really happy with the result and it cost me nothing but the electricity to run the sewing machine.
I’ve been playing a bit…no real direction or purpose. Just having fun.
The first item is any ATC. I made this one day when I had inserted my foot way too far down my throat for my comfort.
The other items are in a board book. I think this board book is the closest thing to an art journal that I’ve made so far. Other than this book that I haven’t been able to bring myself to actually journal in yet.
I’m so happy with these glass jars I was able to find at the thrift store.
It got me to clean off my pile of random junk so I could display these jars full of wrapped ribbons.
I’m hoping these colorful additions will provide lots of inspiration.
I saw this post a while ago and knew I wanted to emulate it. 
I finally made it to a dollar store to get some old fashion clothes pins.
The wrapping process has begun.
I think a trip to Goodwill is in order to find some pretty glass jars to store them in.
