More New Projects!!!

Since being diagnosed with adult ADHD & Bipolar II disorder, and being treated for both, I have been very busy "creating". The medications I now take help me to focus on what's important to me, and that main importance is crafting/art/creating. Thanks to this, I have been creating non-stop, and I've never been happier! Here are a few more pictures of my latest 'creations'. Hope you enjoy them and maybe even find some inspiration to delve into your own creative nature and make something fun!

My Bling Clipboard!

I wish I had done it all in red...

Circles... Lots n' lots of circles! 

 Be Your Fabulous Self~

 This used to be a bubblegum/pepto-bismol pink... NOT my colour
So I painted it RED!

Promise me...I'm making a book of Inspiring Quotes as a gift for my Mum.
This is page 1...

My other works in progress (or WIPs, for short) are:

• a Paper doily lampshade
• another Bling clipboard
• Something I call "Birds on a Wire" in my art journal
• A gift for a friend that is vegan
• A "poster/print" that says "Life Begins After Coffee" 

Will post updates as I go...
Hope everyone is having a lovely day, and to those for whom it is applicable:

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

A Crafty Way to Re-Use Plastic

So as I'm organizing and cleaning up the basement to create my own craft/art "studio" I came across some old plastic juice & water bottles, that somehow didn't make it to the recycling bin. I started to think about possibilities for these and went straight to the internet. Guess what I found?!?!? An AMAZING Craft project that takes plastic bottles and turns them into knitting looms!!!

I found the tutorial on this lovely site called "KnitChat.com" They (The lady's name is Denise) have oodles and goodles of tutorials, patterns & all kinds of fun stuff!!!

This is a pic of the loom that Denise made:











Too fun!!! Click on the KnitChat link or on the pic to be taken to the tutorial for this great little item, and be sure to check out the rest of the site, loads of fun things!!!

Enjoy & have a Creative day!!!

Duct Tape Bag!

It seems that this is all the rage right now, at least from what I've been told. My cousin sent me the link for the following video to show me how to make my own. Apparently people make & use them for the beach, a lunch bag, all purpose tote... I think it would be cool to use in the car to toss half empty bottles of water, juice, and anything wet, until you could get home and dispose of it properly...
So, I thought I'd pass it along!!! Enjoy!
