Happy February! 🩷 How it's February already, I'm not sure, but it is. Mom continues her recovery journey and is doing well. I'm still tired and haven't had the energy to make much of anything, but I did get out to a couple of my favorite venues now that Bead and Gem Show season is here. Not that I actually NEEDED any more beads etc., but what's that got to do with anything? It's so much fun to get to see and meet people from all over the world because lemme tell you, it feels like every continent (maybe not Antarctica) is represented at these shows.
Here's what I picked up this year.
Some bold beads, bead caps, and findings that I can't wait to play with. Also, those large black and silver beads.
Pink Opal, Dendritic Agate, and Tourmaline.
Amethyst, Lapis, and Kunzite. I can't wait to play with all of these.
I've also been enjoying the sessions at the Cricut Craft Fest this week. I love these because I always pick up tips on ways to use my cutting machines.
You've all been busy as usual, so let's take a look at some fun ideas shared at last week's party.
Steph Creates Things shared this perfect for love season Altered Cutting Board.
I think all of us Makers do this. See something at a boutique or store like Pottery Barn or West Elm and immediately start thinking "I can knock that off!". Such is the case with these Aluminum Can Vases by Petticoat Junktion inspired by West Elm! Nailed it!
An Artful Mom shared a brilliant idea: Make TWO Journals from One Composition Book!
And finally, with the big game this weekend, can you have enough treats? These Chocolate Covered Nutter Butter Footballs from Hunny I'm Home DIY are just the thing!
Whether you're resting, crafting, watching the game, or whatever's in store this weekend, I wish you peace. Thanks to everyone who linked up!
