Crafting in a Recliner

Posted on August 28, 2018 by

img_0327.jpg

The view from my recliner is my newly reconstructed foot.  Today is the 11th day (but who’s counting) of sitting, elevating and icing my foot.  Although I’m out of my comfort zone being still, I’ve managed to surround my chair with projects to keep me company (sane) during my healing process.  Many of these projects are stamping/crafting so I thought I’d share what I’ve been doing.  I think I’ll call it Chair Crafting.

My youngest kiddo just started college and he asked me to send him some things from home, including a coaster for his desk. (????????) Since I am home bound for a few weeks I was delighted to realize that “I can make that!”  So with a tray on my lap I created this coaster for him.  I hope he likes it!

Directions for Stamping on Tumble Tile

The process was simple.  I stamped the two images in Black StazOn ink first and heat set the ink to dry.  Then I used ink and the Aqua Painter brush to make the watercolored background.  After the ink was dry I sealed it with satin finishing spray. Boom!

Rooted in Nature is quickly becoming one of my favorite stamp sets because there is so many great images and greetings to combine. You can purchase the stamp set, the framelit set or bundle it together and save 10%.  Check it out!

Giving Thanks.

Posted on November 4, 2017 by

It’s what I love about November! Giving thanks always! And also what I love about my crafting hobby is always having the ability to make something with stuff on hand. We had a small window of opportunity to share a meal today with everyone in my family and I seized it to plan a Thanksgiving meal. It was simple and not over planned (as I just thought of it on Thursday), but we all enjoyed the moment together. Even though I am short on matching placemats and glasses, I set the tone with mini pumpkins at each place giving thanks.img_8573
