Life is not crewel.....

Day 72

no it is not crewel but I am doing yet another 70s sewing kit I found while thrifting....in lovely 70s colors lucky for me the thread was all protected from sunlight over the years by being in the package so it still has lots of that pea green hue that was so popular...yick.


G2 found this while thrifting and I let her go to town, no input from me and I did not care if she read the directions and just had fun with it. It came with all the pencils in different hard/softness and she did use them all experimenting with the different shades...lots of fun and that is the most important part of art and new experiences right?!

These are part of the organza flowers that we are making for the upcoming Momtasterrific Craftery night....pretty eh?

and the organza in sparkly shades!! What colors will you pick?

I thought these were hilarious. We had to get new tennis shoes (new not thrifted) for dryland training because G1 has joined a new swim team and she beelined for these from across the store, can't miss her eh? And yes they are bright enough to reflect off the flash of the camera and at least I don't have to wear them...probably what my mom thought when I insisted on wearing Chucks and Duckshoes waay back in time when Marty McFly had to rescue his existence and Ducky was pretty in Pink...oooh get those movie references lol

and look what else I found thrifting a beautiful glass jar to put my ribbon sticks in....what do you think? I think it will look good in my new creative lair that we are working on downstairs...

Busy week, totally random things...working on a TODO list that insists on growing longer by the minute.......life is just a bowl of cherries isn't it? So make sure you
