Another full day with business meetings, a short walk and my Artists of Toastmasters meeting. I started a couple of little projects, but could not seem to figure out how to finish them this evening! I’ll do so tomorrow.
So here is a lovely pencil holder made from a toothpaste box. EnJoy!
Woo-hoo! All of the focus on my wellness business this past week has paid off! With the help of my coach, I showed a friend how she could save about 69K in interest and pay off her debts in 4.5 years, rather than 26 years, using this awesome tool called Debt Shredder. Ask me if you want to see what it could do for you!
I also signed this friend up as a new partner in my business, and am SO excited!! We’re on the way Up!
So I did not get anything new created today, though I did bake another big batch of my awesome cookies, and ironed some new pants and two new shawls that I picked up at the clothing swap yesterday. Here is a sweet stuffed Valentine envelope that I made a couple of years ago. Who would you love to give this to?

Too many days without a new creation! Does anyone even notice? Hmmmm.
I went to a clothing swap today and got a few really nice new garments! There were tons of things left over; however, I did not take a lot of things that would not fit in the hopes I’d turn them into something new. I know I won’t. My new rule is, no more things that don’t fit right, are too short or might be made into something else. I already have too many things waiting to be re-made or mended!
Here is a mint tin that I covered with pretty paper from Graphic 45’s Floral Shoppe collection. I use this to hold my credit card! EnJoy!
I decided to do something a little different for today’s post. Another artist friend commented on my needle cushion that I shared yesterday, and we got to chatting and sharing photos of things we’ve made. So today I’m featuring many different needle and pincushions I’ve made, along with some different sewing kits. The “tincushions” have small tin cans for their bases, hence the name. EnJoy!
I’m enjoying cooler weather this week for sure! Hope it stays this way all summer! I got in my stretch routine, a walk and two business calls on zoom, and entered information for a savings report for one of my practice customrs. I need to plan what to create next, rather than just drifting along and not getting anything new made!
EnJoy this tiny needle cushion, made with a bottle cap base and red velvet top. Thank you for reading my posts; comments, likes and shares are most welcome!
I have been spending more time on my health and wealth business this week, so art has kind of taken a back seat. I’m really excited about helping people get out of debt more quickly and saving lots of money in the process! Send me a message if you want to learn more about this program!

This sweet little Bloom Album is looking for a new home. Will you be the one to purchase it? You can watch the video tour here. EnJoy!

Today an artist friend came over for tea and cookies, conversation and show and tell. My friend is a seamstress and quilt maker and does beautiful work! She incorporates a lot of neckties into her quilts; the squares she showed me each had a beautiful flower appliqued in the center, some parts cut from neckties, some from other fabrics. For the sashing, she bought a gorgeous pashmina scarf from a thrift shop and backed it with iron-on interfacing before cutting. I can hardly wait to see the finished quilt!
I spent too much time on the internet and otherwise being distracted from art, plus I didn’t feel inspired to start a big project. I did alter a playing card just so I could get something accomplished! EnJoy!

Today was nice and cool, so my home remained pleasantly comfortable. Phew! This afternoon I had a call with one of my business coaches to practice learning a new software program for helping people get out of debt. It’s really amazing and I am eager to share the program!
This evening I made a little folio with half of a butter box for the cover. I had planned to add some pages and make it into a little noebook, but when I was decorating the cover, I forgot that the lined pages were oriented vertically, so they would not work with this layout! Oh, well, I’ll use them for another notebook. EnJoy!
What a day! It was hot again yesterday and my home reached 85º inside, ugh. I did run the ac and got it cooled down a bit, though my room was too hot for sleeping, so I had the ceiling fan going. I woke up about 7:50 am, just as the power went out, for no apparent reason. Yikes! Luckily the air had cooled off and we got some rain, so it was bearable without fans going. Power came back about 1:40 pm.
Last evening I spray-painted a wire mesh hanging wall pocket with five pockets, and today I got it hung on a sliver of wall in the tiny hallway where the laundry closet is. Spent this evening sorting all the envelopes in which I stash scraps from each of the paper collections I use and stored the envelopes in the wall pockets. So many! Now the shelves where I keep my stash of papers are no longer bulky and papers can lie flat again. It’s nice to have a little more organization. So once again I have not created something new, and I am satisfied with spending time getting things in better order. One area at a time!
Here are two of my Peace Angels for your enJoyment.

Another hot day today, not quite as bad as yesterday. And my home still got up to 85º F inside! UGH. I had to run the ac this evening, so the living/art area is a bit cooler now, though still roasting in my bedroom, as the ac is a wall unit and the cool air does not go around the corner into my room. Gah. I have fans going in there, hope it cools down more before sleep.
Today I covered 3 small paperclips with scraps from my stash, and made this little collage with more scrap. Did not make a dent in the stash! Though it was good to use up some pieces. EnJoy!
