Owls and Aspire

-
A few more owls.
These are so much fun to make!
.
And a painting. 
Pay no attention to the lint on the floor.
This is in my laundry room in the basement.

Today I am off to Ohio for a luncheon at my Mom's church.
A visit with my cousin.
I don't see her often enough.

A visit to Pat Catan's.
Sam's.
Who knows where we might stop.
But right now....

"Sittin' here bloggin' waiting for my underwear to dry.."

Hey, that could be a song.

Sorry I haven't been around much this winter, it has been a tough winter with both parents ill. I have been spending alot of time in your neck of the woods. I just wish it were fun time... UPMC and Shadyside Hospitals. It takes me 2 hrs to get there and yesterday it took 4 hrs to get home. Some roads closed and we sat for 2 hrs. I could have knitted a sweater... LOL Hope all is well with you. I loved catching up on your blog...I have knitted 6 hats in the last week...

Good Morning, Cathy,
Your owls are as cute as cute can be! Do you ever sleep? I don't know how you keep up with work, grandbabies, and creating. You must have endless energy.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. ~Natalie

p.s. It snowed here yesterday. I am still wearing my neckwarmer! Thank you, again.

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
