A Little Crafting

Yesterday was a good day. 

I finished getting the house together and spent time working on ME. I make a list every month for things I want to do -- usually something social or fun or goal minded. Sometimes I do the entire list, and sometimes not. It's not a high pressure list, more a reminder to take time for me. Kind of "what fun can I add to this month." I wrote up June's list -- birthday month so it's extra good. 

I finished the quote jar for the LFL in Asheville. Cut a page from an old book, laminated and clipped to the jar. I'd like to redo the handwriting, but it's too late and I don't want to waste laminator paper.




I also set up a the flower drying kit my DIL gave me for Christmas. I tried a few and I'll see how it turns out. It takes a couple of days. Flat flowers are the key and most of the ones I have aren't flat. Using the little flowers from hydrangeas seems to be a popular choice -- hopefully those work. I clipped some other ones and they fell apart. YouTube suggested taking individual pedals and then assembling them on the craft. I'll play around with it. I hope it works.




I used a bunch of leftovers to make a chopped salad. I'm into those all of a sudden. Chop everything very small and mix. It's so flavorful and looks like nothing special. Now I'll repeat this until I'm sick of it.

I'm hiking tonight and then first thing tomorrow -- experimenting for 2 in a row. The hike tonight is easy enough, but tomorrow will be hard. Fingers crossed.

So much good, and I woke up in a rotten mood. I have no idea why and I'll try to turn it around this morning. I'm spending time in the garden to tame the crazy tomato plants and plant some new seeds -- that usually makes me happy. Always could be hormones -- I haven't had a cycle in 2 months. Could this be the end?!?!? 

Have a good day. It's cool and crisp this morning after the storms -- good time to be in the garden. Later gators.
