Cozy Blog and How I Aroused the Sleeping Beast

 I wish I knew how to make my blog cozier.  I read so many and they are so pretty with pretty backgrounds and such and pictures — so many pictures — but I just can’t seem to get my head around it.  I might have to spend some time working at it.  

How I aroused the sleeping beast — the beast being my crafting mojo.  I have gotten back into stitching full force which is nice BUT I have been reading some of the stuff on one of my facebook groups about cardmaking and this morning I found myself slipping down the rabbit hole and at the bottom there was the sleeping beast of creativity and I accidentally poked it and woke it up.

Now I have to shop because my glue is all dried up, my ink pads are all dried up and everything is in a shambles.  I need the Bean to come and help organize.  She is a pretty good organizer.  

Anyway, I have awakened the beast and I want to make cards again.  And one member of the group recycles boxes, like popcorn boxes and cereal boxes to make gift boxes and that just looks like super fun and definitely a good way to save some recycling and some money!  I will have to try it.

When I get some glue.  Amazon, here I come.

We have been worried about Finnegan and Fiona lately as we haven’t seen them except in snatches.  We really can’t tell which is which except one has a black stripe down it’s tail.  We decided to move the camera to get a different angle because we really don’t know where they come from and we don’t know where they go — they just appear and then disappear. 

We were lucky last night though.  Before 9 p.m., when it was still light, the one I think is Finnegan came to visit — from where I don’t know — and he just decided to chill on the deck for a little while.  A little later the possum came too.  Scraggly thing it is but it keeps the nasties away so I am ok with it.  

So for your viewing pleasure — Fox and Friend



The fox was nice to stop and pose for me but the possum is on the run and so it is very blurry but it is huge.  The fox is big too.  And apparently quite comfortable on my deck.  Oh well, as long as he doesn’t bother me I guess I don’t mind.

So, what is up for today?  Well, clearly some Amazon shopping for glue, ink and whatever.  I have already made one purchase today that I need to pick up later but I don’t mind a pick up, I just don’t like in-store shopping anymore.  The pandemic has created a monster in me in that I like to just order and have somebody bring it to me!  Again, lazy cow. 

So, with that I am off to fluff some pillows and straighten some magazines, put some laundry in and go stitch.  And go upstairs and revisit the craft area and really take stock in what I have.  Yes, it will be fun!

Oh, and tonight I will remember to get a photo of the candles in the lanterns.  This have been crazy around here the last week and I just plum forgot.  Maybe I need to make a list!

 Ok, so we visited our cardiologist yesterday to get the lay of the land for the Hubs.  Seems there is an issue with one of the grafts from ...
