Crafty things

Good evening! i just got done watching a FUN documentary about the original Woodstock!! it was FANTASTIC! i didn't get to go since i was too young but i would have LOVED it! i remember listening to the cassettes of the music, over and over!! Country Joe and the Fish, Joe Cocker, Janis, Jimi!!! it was GREAT!! :)
Anywaysssss back to the 21st century!! lol i have been crafting, if you can believe that!?!! i use to craft so much and still do have a lot of crafting materials in storage! it's tough to find the room to craft and so i have done less and less each year to the point of almost stopping completely, upon discovering the digital world of scrapbooking!! hehe it's now been a few years and my hands have been itching to get back into the physical crafting world! :) For a few years, DH & i did chain maille jewelry, he doing the chain part and me doing the decorating with colorful beads!! But now that we have a TON of AWESOME beads we don't know what to do with them or we just don't have the talent to do what we want with them! hehe i tried covering a wooden bead with seed beads, the other night and got as far as the third row. then i had to go into a bead in the previous row and broke the darn bead, pulling the needle thru! lol Then i found these little bead pie magnets . This is an EASY way to use up some of those smaller beads!!
And it looks ADORABLE on the 'fridge too!

i have also been playing around with some of the fabric i have accumulated over the years!

And in making these little pincushions, i can use up some of my calicos!

i think i may try to make a little cowboy/girl hat and MAYBE even make a beaded hatband! oh the FUN of it all!! :)
Thank you so very much for stopping in for a visit! i LOVE our time together! :) HUGS!! Have a MARVELOUS evening and i will see YOU in the morning! :D
