Getting Back Into Crochet Practice Makes Perfect

Well I am trying to relearn this great craft. When I was younger I used to make baby dresses and bathing suit also blanket, stuffed animals and more. Now I can barely get this dish cloth straight but I am persistent and have taken it apart once already. Now it looks better, what do you think is it getting there.

He is also my 1/2 pint glass jar for my try at Upcycled Pin Cushion Swap.  I have not signed up for it yet, just testing out how it might come out for me in the end.  I thought I should try it out before making a fool of myself.

The Joy of Writing

Today I posted these letters to some awesome pen friends. I got to use my big stickers that I bought a while ago. I think they look great and will be using them more until they are gone and then will go looking to find some more. I like them very much.

What do you do to embellish or add art to your envelopes?

A Great Letter Writing Helper

07/17/2011 by Sandra Leave a Comment

I found this great book at the library, after reading it I really wanted to have it for my library at home. I found it online and now I am the proud owner of a copy.

It was just a few dollars, 7.00 to be exact and well worth every dollar.

If your looking for a book to help you improve writing this one helped me very much.

If you find it at your local library and read it please let me know your thoughts.

Currently Reading and Love It
