I finished something".🫣 Made a bag to carry groceries in from the car. Don't much like the plastic ones they sell. #sewing #handcrafted #recycle #upcycle #Craft Jeans from thrift store. Lee is helping to model. Extra wide straps for comfort. Yay me!!🎉❤️😀 May have to make several more for presents.

I'm making stuff, but can't seem to get a picture. So here's a picture of my very messy work tray. Someday I will post a before and after. This is in the middle. #SeedBeads #3Dbeads #peyoteStitch #RAW #OCDatwork #art #craft

My amazing friend Jaylene and I spent time together yesterday at a fundraiser for #FreshStartWomensFoundation. We talked about losing our Moms. She bought this centerpiece from our table and gave it to me. It's huge and gorgeous and my Mom would have loved it. Hug your mom if you can!❤️

Weekend run up to the mountains. Escaping the heat here is always a good thing. Penstemon (pretty sure) near Payson Arizona. #nature #flower #wildflowers #ExploreArizona but be safe and carry lots of water!

Moss! #theJungleBox in Phoenix is the most fun place to go! You can see tiny dart frogs, buy houseplants, and even take a class to build your own vivarium. I have to ration my visits. Otherwise I would spend all my money there. Oh, and the people are SO nice❤️

Happy National Dog Day! Puppies visited work from the Humane Society today, so I got puppy kisses. Lee isn't jealous, though ❤️

#ArizonaHumaneSociety is the place to adopt a pet. Sushi is settling in nicely. #kitty #cat #InCharge . Now we just have to get past her urge to beat the dog up. She's 6 pounds. He's about 40 pounds.🫣

I was told in the 3rd grade that I couldn't put purple next to orange and I had no artistic talent. Believed it for way too long.

Wow, what a busy weekend. Took Lee to the river for water play. The Salt River is VERY COLD. Forgot that. Swam 1/2 mile at the pool this morning. Spent time beading, cross stitching and crocheting. Here's the cross stitch WIP. I love this color printed pattern. Am I lazy?😂🎉

Cherry shrimp. This is the baby, it's about 1/4 inch long, the damn crop cut out the adult at the bottom of the photo. Ah well. #aquarium #aquaria #nature Yes, the roots are a bunch of cuttings from my houseplants taking over every available spot in our apartment.

Lee and I ventured up to Payson this morning to spend some time in the quiet. Birds, tiny minnows and crawdads, dragonflies, butterflies. Needed that. Did a little cross-stitch and a little embroidery too. #nature #trees #DogMom He found a cow pat to roll in, but thankfully it was dry.🎉

Measured the hatband about a hundred times. Put it down 2 weeks ago to reset my brain. Came back to it and started attaching it to the hat and... Voila! 3 inches short! #SeedBeads #peyotestitch #fringestitch Dontcha just hate that 🫣 Ah well TGIF.
