A Time to Reflect and Organize

                                  Today my hurry-up world slowed down.  



 I finished four little bookmarks for my grandkids, and printed a Bible message on burlap for Valentine's Day.  Then I looked around and realized that my little world of crafts had become a big mess.  It is time to give the crafts a rest until I get organized.  So in keeping with crafting every day, I'm putting up several ideas that I have not yet crafted, but seem so simple I have them on my list of "I'll do that next".   I think the pictures give enough information that we can do them from sight.  



Adorable.  Can't wait to visit my Grandkids and bring along some floor tiles.  I think tiles would look great with these little footprints.  I'll bet the small tiles would be the right size for newborns as well.

Now this is a project just crying for Spring.  I can see making two or three out of one rectangular pan of short cake.  I hope all my composting last summer will bring a bumper crop of berries this year.  We can all use a little Strawberry Short Snake.


And now that the metal stamping bug has me pounding away, I think those cute little empty pickle jars I've been saving now have a place.  If I take one of our old barn-wood planks and mount it on the wall, I'll have a nice country shelf that will hold several jars and stampings.

Lastly, my macrame skills will come into play as I fashion a couple of new collars for my pups.  Both dogs lost their tags as their old collars gave way.  Oh,  I can stamp a couple of washers and give them new tags to boot!

My craft area is getting clean, and I have a plan now for three or four new projects.  Not a bad day if you ask me!   Craft much, have fun.
