Strike While The Iron Is Hot!

As another year rolls around spent an evening going down memory lane and sorting through some old photos.

 About 20 years ago my husband and I took a Blacksmith Class together. I completed my first wonky "S" hook! It was a great experience, but not a craft I was interested in pursuing...quite arduous especially in the outdoor summer heat!

My hubby continues the craft as a hobby. He enjoys crafting rustic utilitarian items.

"Raggedies" For My Unembellished Junk Journal !

My first attempt at making 'Raggedies'! Thanks NikThe Booksmith!! Great way to fill up or stuff a plain Junk Journal. Gives the appearance of being stuffed with papers but allows the recipient of the journal the option of keeping the additions or not and using it as just a writing journal if they wish. Nik The Booksmith did a recent tutorial on making Raggedies, check her out! Thanks for watching 🙂
