Get Springing into Spring


Notes for Today

Wow Spring is here ? but the snow still stayed. However, we still need to get to all the things related to spring. Put away the winter clothes, and winter deco. (note to me) must now put up my primitive snowmen )

I have started springing . I have bought a sewing machine and trying new things. I have been shopping online , no traffic, take your time, stay in you P J'S ) There is so much online that cannot be found in Malls. I have been cleaning which for me means:
. giving books I have read and know I will not read again to the local library
.giving shoes still in good condition but no longer wear to the corner Red Cross Bin (they need shoes , boots, sandals , all year round.
. Giving clothes that I no longer wear to charity shops (like salvation army)
. Clean out the cupboards , food that is still in date , but you know you won't use right away before the expired date , the food bank , they more so than ever need support.
. The list is endless and they are lots of places to give your stuff you no longer want or use a great way to recycle.

After my springing I like to treat myself to a few new things and I feel creative .

If you feel the need to treat yourself after springing I recommend http://www.artsycraftsyfolks.com

What is Perfection?

Notes for Today
There is something to be said for perfection , but in the modern world perfection tends to mean
1000 or millions of the same stamped out boring items. Items that anyone can get at a department store or in mass markets.

Items that are unique and one of a kind have a definite glow about them that spells Special.
And personalized items are at the top of my list. After all who wants stuff everyone has (boring)
the trend has arrived that more and more people want things they can use and things around them that will be the new heirlooms of the future.

I am tired of the cheap factory stuff that looks tacky fast and is or wants to be thrown out in a few weeks or months.

How about you are you tired of the the stamped out goods out there that are pretending to be perfect?

Check out the new trend at www.artsycraftsyfolks.com

They are lots of items there that are unique one of a kind . The new heirlooms of the future buy artist made .

Is Winter geting to Ya?

Notes for Today

They are some that really love winter (a few) let me know who they are please?
If you stay home more in winter (like me) then you need to have a few hobbies.
I knit while watching tv. and winter can make one want to get out unfinished work and give it another try. Time to read more , take an online educational course.

I am trying to use my time wisely on these cold winter days and nights . I have gotten out some unfinished art work and have my knitting needles clicking during my favorite tv. shows.

Look for a new work from me soon at http://www.artsycraftsyfolks.com

They are some new Hearts there now and Collages .

Keep Warm Keep Safe Winter only lasts until spring.
