Crafting

My friend Elizabeth recently gave me some materials to craft with - some awesome cotton yarn and some beading materials!! Which means I've gone on a craft rampage.

I've made two matching potholders out of the cotton yarn (which means when I wash them they won't felt and become dollhouse potholders), 3 pair of earrings, a bracelet, and a rosary (now I just need a cross for it).

Today I'll be decorating a tri-fold for the Children's Sunday School, and then probably going back to beading...I have a necklace to make (for Elizabeth), and probably another rosary (for another friend...!)...although it is going to irk me until I get a cross or two.

...and I still have enough hardware to make 4 more pair of earrings.

I should get out my scrapbook and just keep the crafting going...and then there's always something else to knit! Right now I need to knit two baby hats and a grown man's hat (but I only have one of the colors he wants so I've got to find a light brown), and I REALLY want to try making a sweater or slouchy beret. And then there are knitted earrings (with wire!!! ?????) that I probably should figure out how to do.

And then of course, there's my drawings. I should finish those (both on paper and digitally).

One craft begets another, I'm afraid. At least with me. So I need to go clean before I delve into a pile of beads or yarn or paper.

Also, thankfully, it's Saturday, so I have time to do it all! :)
