Crafters say, “It’s not clutter.”
Ok folks, my home chores have been getting ignored. A fall
in December 2018, finally, corrective surgery in April 2019, and therapy ever
since.
I’m up to lifting one pound doing exercise, “hurray.”
Unfortunately, my surgeon wants me further along. I’m trying, I really am. But
it is what it is.
Anyhow, some excellent hand strength therapy was
accomplished by making some things for the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA).
My inspiration can be located at this website, with some
basic instructions
However, I had to go off scrip to complete my “flower pixies”
to promote the ALA poppy program.
I used fine yarn for the body and yarn for the hair since
the heads at WalMart did not have any through holes. I used a fine ribbon for
the bodice wrap and underwear. The
flowers I used were roses, and since I had to make corsages, some red,
white, and blue filler flowers. I used the flower fillers to create the corsages
and boutonnières. (Buy flowers on sale.) We all agreed the red rose skirts most
closely resemble poppies.
So why is this here.
A lot of crafters, myself included are considered clutter bugs because of
our craft supplies. After working on a slew of these (over a couple of months), I’ve come to the
conclusion that my crafts have to stay in my craft room. I dislike having to
put up supplies in the middle of projects, hence the clutter bug tag.
I have turned over a new leaf, pun intended. I will only
craft in my craft room from now on.
Clutter bug crafters, unite. And no my darling mechanic, you may not work on parts in the house!
Therefore, what projects are you doing in common areas that should have a designated space?
