Bronchitis

 Hello crafty fans!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately.

I started with a nasty cold almost a month ago

and it turned into a really nasty case of bronchitis.

I'm going into my 2nd round of antibiotics now and

hopefully that will kick it out of me.

But for now I won't be posting for a bit,

I just don't have the energy to do much more than

 read, watch tv and sleep.

I will be back though, once I'm feeling

better and can get back to some crafting.

For now I'll leave you with these two 

crazy grandkids of mine.

They are just the cutest!

Christmas Exchange Gift

Hello everyone and welcome!

I know this is a little late, but that's because

our Christmas Crop was late.

Our group always plans our Christmas Crop for

the first Saturday of the new year,

but that didn't work out.

The other gal, who runs it with me, and I 

both had covid, so we had to postpone it.

We ended up having it in mid February.

We bring a gift and do an exchange game.

Here is what I took as my gift.

I crocheted this little Christmas chick ornament.

And a pair of mittens, which I put a gift card for 
Joann's inside one of them.

I also made a "money tree"

I found a piece of tree branch decoration

at the store for 80% off and put that

through the top of a jar lid.
I covered the jar with wrapping paper and

then made dollar origami ornaments.

Here is a boot.

This is a butterfly that actually looks much better in 

real life.

A shirt.

A sail boat.

A duck.

A peacock.

And a leaf.

I had made one of these for a family exchange and

it went over very well.

I think the gal that got it liked it,

but I actually think she liked the mittens even 

more.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have been inspired in some way.
If you are interested in trying some

dollar origami, just google it

and you will find loads of tutorials online.

I hope to see you again soon.
Until then,

try something new and different.
