Hello Dear Friends! Yes, snowballs... but they aren't made from cold, wet snow! I'm attempting to make some bowl fillers... from Styrofoam & drywall compound. That much is done. They will be decorated with this beautiful, German glass glitter before they are finished...
No, I'm not trying to rush past this beautiful Fall weather we are having. These are for the craft show at the local mall in November... and for some gifts too.That isn't all I have been doing. Here are a few sneak peeks of the next schoolhouse sampler... second in the series of ~*Victor Minor*~...
early blues, woody brown, and deep green
This is a larger sampler, and there will be two finishes with the pattern. I'm still stitching on it most every day... and taking it along on every outing I go on.Some news to share too... I'm very excited about this... and nervous & scared too. After almost six years... I am re-entering the work force. I have been hired as waitress for a small diner opening in town. I think it will be a lot of fun! I love to be around people... chatting, giggling, and hearing stories. The hours will be most wonderful... allowing me to still be mom, wife, and crafter. Plus... the extra income no matter how big or small will help our family budget. I am looking forward to this new venture... and to making more friends.
I do still plan to craft! And to stitch! I could never let that go...that is a huge part of what makes me ME!
I have some snowballs to make... go gotta run.
Wishing you warm smiles...
Betty

Love the snowballs, I use to make snow things with snowtex, a bit messy though. I was a waitress for a couple of weeks, I am not a good waitress, lol.

Snowballs are great anytime, as long as they aren't real lol! I was thinking the same thing the other day though, when I was painting Santa's in 80 degree weather lol! Good Luck on your new job, I LOVE waitressing and would love to find a job doing it again! It helps with money and still leaves time for many other things like you said! Keep us updated on how it goes! =)
