Thanks to Ginger reminding me, here is our craft link-up for January. I'm so glad she reminded me because I saw Allison's "pinned it, did it" post yesterday and it said 4, and I thought, "eek! I haven't even done 1 Pinterest project this year.
BUT I've taken a half day off next week solely to finish the editing on the book. I may be being a tad unrealistic but let's see if I need another half day. My head is not there at night - I'm too tired from work and babies and and and.
And after that, I can devote myself to playing a little until I start book 2. Which I think will go quicker as I'm even more passionate about time management than I am organising (if possible).
I'm personally going to do a lot more creative stuff this year but I don't know if I want to do the linky every week or two. Or should I?
I've said it before but you can link up anything you created - baked, cooked, made on the computer, sewed, crafted, etc, etc.The options are wide open.
Just link back here please.
Okay, let's go!!!
I'm linking up two TINY little things I did for Christmas. Together they took me probably less than 20 minutes.
1. Christmas Tree print
I took one of the photo frames I have lying around. And I have plenty.
I used a 1-inch circle punch to punch out some scrapbook paper for the top, made strips with red washi tape and put a tiny strip of green washi tape for the trunk.
It looked much more impressive in person :)
2. Christmas Tree notebook
I had this brilliant idea AFTER all the planning was done. Of course.
But I've since put the notebook in the two ginormous gift bags where I store my Christmas stuff. All I have to do in just 9.5 months (yes!) is print out my spreadsheet, paste it in the book and carry on planning.
Exactly same concept as the print except I didn't want to mess with glue so I washi taped everything. And yes, there are glaring signs of imperfection which I love.
On another note, I'm finding imperfection rather alluring lately. This from a recovering perfectionist.
Please link up anything you've worked on over the last month - recipes are most welcome because I'm bored with the stuff I'm eating!
I promise to come visit every person who links up but I will delete the random nonsense links that don't link to a POST.
Let the games begin :)
The only thing I recently made was the book I made so I will link up that one :-)
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to email you for two days to ask if you're still doing this...yea!
ReplyDeleteI've got lots of stuff in the hopper...I'll have to devote a post to one of them in the next couple of days, probably this weekend.
Thanks, as always, Marcia, for the inspiration!!!
Love your tree form! I did a similar form with the girls...strips of construction paper glued to a solid piece, decorated with stickers. I thought about it later, that I could have made a counting game out of it. Maybe next year. :)
I linked up a tutorial for a pendant I made recently. I am also doing a giveaway. Thanks for hosting this.
ReplyDeleteThose are super nice...great idea that I might have to scraplift! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHappy I could provide a reminder...I have been trying to keep "ahead" of my link ups so I thought I better "check-in" to see if we were still on! LOL!
Happy Weekend Marcia
I had to add my pinned it, did it project you mentioned :) I love your tape Christmas trees! You must be the queen of washi tape projects - would you believe I don't own any?
ReplyDeleteOk, you know what? I will do that tie-dye tut and link it. Give me a day or two.
ReplyDeleteI love your projects by the way. And those note books - thanks girl! I have made so many.
These are LOVELY. I only have knitting with holes! I am not immune to imperfection but the holes are driving me nuts! Will see what I can come up with this weekend then I'll link up next week sometime?
