I'm still making jewelry, but I have a new puppy and she loves to jump in my lap...while it's full of beads. So I've been trying out some alternate crafty efforts.
I bought a few darling paper bag scrapbook albums from a sweet Etsy shop called Amanda's Altered World. I was so inspired by the no frills construction (and the frilly embellishments) that I made a few. Two were given as gifts and one is slated for an online auction benefiting the Texas Blueberry Festival presented by the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce. (The online auction will also feature a ShelyChic button bracelet.)
In addition to the paper bag albums, I've pulled out my fuzzy yarns from the scrapbooking vault and learned to crochet. I used an entire skein of fuzzy yarn on what can only be described as a "wooby" by my son (he's already staked his claim). I'm also working on a chocolatey scarf. I'll post pics if it ever comes to fruition.
These projects are not completely Polar Bear (the dog) proof. She's chewed her way through more than a few stickers sheets and markers. She also unraveled a skein of yarn. Nevertheless, the clean up beats crawling around to pick up tiny beads!
