three pair of trousers in 2 days

Finished my navy, burgundy, and gray trousers last week (finally!) If I look harried, it's because my 4 grandkids were all here today, and the youngest is teething (2 Yrs old) Also finished my multi-colored sweater (though we sure can't use it right now - except for INDOORS, because my husband is always much warmer than I am)

another new hobby?? so tiny! great fun, but over too soon!

new hobby - Paint with Diamonds

Image
Love this ! It's a bit like cross stitch, or paint by numbers. There's a tiny hole in the end of the tube tool, and a wax that you press in. That is a bit sticky, so you can get hold of the jewels. The finished items are lovely! Both round and square drills - from different companies How to get started: You need a good light over a flat surface. 1. open the package - spread out the plastic canvas so that the folds will smooth out. Leave the clear cover over it till it is finished! Fondle all the colors, if you like. 2. Pick a package  of jewels, and find the number in the color list on the side of the canvas. See what Symbol it uses. If it is not easy to find the symbol on the canvas, pick a different pack. In the picture below, my symbol is the letter A. Note that the background for each symbol is close to the same color - blue on blue, for example. 3. Cut off a corner of the pack NOT into the number, and pour about a third of the jewels into
