My Poor Neglected Craft Blog

I've been a bad blogger over here and not much better on my other ventures. Sadly my crafting in general has taken a hit, with the exception of my new-found love--knitting. Of course I have no knitting pictures yet. And I'm obviously horrible about sharing what pictures I do have. So I'll toss up a hodge-podge of things since the last post. None of them are recent, but they are new here.

My apologies for the editing or lack thereof, rather. It is something I always mean to get done and put off. Then am embarrassed to post pictures. Embarrassment aside:

A necklace for a friend.



Same necklace, different background.



A series of dimensional cards that were originally posted here.



Which sparked the idea for this birthday card for another friend.



A necklace for my sister.



With a different angle.



An afternoon of creating at my friend's house resulted in this.



Really this is so much more fun to see in person, because of the dimensional affect. Many of the bits and pieces stick out and the texture is quite fun.



What I think is hard to see are the strands of iridescent gift packing that float around the piece.




My oldest spent one afternoon reading on the loveseat where this is propped. Obviously he wasn't just reading because he informed me a tiny bug embedded itself into the epoxy. How sad. Not quite as romantic as bugs embedded in amber from millions of years ago, ala Jurassic Park.



So many ideas floating around. I've a little business I've wanted to get off the ground for the last two years, but circumstances, as they often do, stood in the way. Some home rearranging and a speedbump in the road with some personal health issues have been addressed, if not resolved and hopefully the end of this year may offer a few new chances.

What have you been doing?

What Color is Your Rainbow?

Your rainbow is shaded white.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

What is says about you: You are a contemplative person. You appreciate quiet moments. People depend on you to make them feel secure.

I Think I Have a Personality Crisis


ESTP - The Doers

The active and play-ful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.

The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.

This is true, but so is this...and this. Hmmmmm...

It's Been Awhile

It's been over a year since I posted on wanderingheart designs. It hasn't been for lack of desire to create, but the creative spirit shriveled up a bit this time last year. Honestly, I didn't want to admit the two events were connected, but it's become obvious that they were.

Recently, while outside the temperatures have been cooling, slowly my heart has been warming back up to include more creativity again. I hope to return to my creative pursuits. I've been experiencing some arthritis issues that are hindering my efforts a little too on the fiber end. Old age isn't going to be comfortable!!

Going to try a new looks soon, too.

Hope there's some life left in this blog!

Watercolor Style



I'm not sure how well they translate in digital photo, but the two flower cards have a small butterfly (wire and netting) attached. These take a little padding and extra postage to mail.

Stamped images by Stampin' Up! (butterfly) and Stampabilities (flowers).

On a Theme of Brown and Red

Teddy bears and classic cars don't really go together, but I was working in "color mode" and on the brown & red theme. These cards went to my father and mother, respectively.
