Love all three cards. I think it’s all an out the layers. Some show yet some don’t, and that’s ok because good energy was added to the cards!
@CraftyHope5 күн бұрын
Yes, the layers are definitely what keep my hands busy and push me forward. You can see many of them in the detail shots, but you have to look hard. I was just thinking about that this morning - how much I love tiny details, things that could easily be missed. But, those are the bits that thrill me the most. Thank you for your time and kind words, Rose. It means more than you know.

I work full time during the day, fix supper, tend to my garden and flower box, then while hubby watches tv I usually try to sneak upstairs to edit KZread videos or finish projects in the craft room before the cats start screaming for treats and bed time. IF I have any energy left or have deadlines that can't wait, I trudge back upstairs to work in the quiet bedtime hours until I can't hold my eyes open anymore. Only to begin anew a few hours later at 7-8am. lol. I'm getting too old for all these things, even the fun ones have turned into "deadlines" now. lol.

I love the color on your walls. I know what you mean about organizing. I'm soooooo far behind. Despite having my nifty craft cabinet, I'm still struggling with keeping this in drawers and containers. I have too many beads. lol. Amazing ideas and projects, my crafty friend. Sparkle on! ✨
Aw, thanks Monica! Every "bedroom" in our house is blue - my favorite color. My husband swears that most makers spend more time organizing their spaces than actually creating in them. I think he's right. I really appreciate that you took the time to watch. 🥰🥰
That was fun to watch, thank you for sharing your Vlog again 🧡
Oh, thank you, Deena. I promised that I would try to vlog every so often, even if it's once every 3 months. I'm glad you see value in it. I appreciate that reassurace!
Tried to pick a favorite but I love all 3
That is so kind of you, Cathy! Thank you. I'm partial to the third one, but it is hard to pick a favorite.
Great to catch up with you Hope. I love the floss holder ideas, especially the mushrooms. Good for you for getting organized. I thinks that it helps with the creativity. Love your yard. It looks so nice and green and pretty with the flowers. Thank you for sharing your week with us and for influencing me to start organizing the table where i sit and stitch. See you next time!
Thank YOU for taking the time to watch!! And, I'm tickled I inspired you. You might have noticed that you got some of the re-vamped mushrooms in your package. I thought adding the holes would make them look more like mushrooms and give you the change to put them on a book ring or something. In any case...thank you for everything.
thanks for the shoutout!! :) you've encouraged me to find my blue stabilo, it looks so good with this color combo!
You definitely deserve the shoutout for those cool stencils. I'm so tempted by the new ones too! The color of that blue stabilo is so good. I'm glad I inspired you to go look for yours too. Yay!
@@CraftyHope aw, shucks. hehe. ☺
Fabulous page, if it’s not black then I lean towards using my inktense pencils rather than the coloured stabilo all pencils that I own. lol not sure why 🤷🏻♀️. Love to see you using your snippet roll. Thank you for sharing Hope
@@deenaotway7717 That's funny because I forget about my Inktense pencils all the time. And, that's because I don't have them out the same way I have the stabilo. Now that you mention it, I should pull them out...they are permanent rather than the reactiveness of the stabilo!! Thannks!!
@@CraftyHope @deenaotway7717 sounds like we need a use your supplies challenge!
I love finding old yearbooks! Both for the history and the unique graphics. (The pages scan beautifully for printing)They are also good conversation starters. Many of my neighbors are older, and if I find a book that might be from an area where they had lived, I will share the book. I've heard so many great stories, even if they knew nothing about the yearbook. It has created some lovely friendships. So many things, so many projects. Creating makes life so much richer.
You are so wise. Yes, taking time to create is indeed a life enhancer. And, how sweet of you to share those yearbooks. Thanks for reminding me to scan some of the images. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Loving the text on the icads. The first one is my favourite by far. lol you made me laugh when you were talking about your messy desk. I hate having a messy workspace. I hate when I get paint etc on it. I love under paper when it’s on some else’s desk, just not mine. I have to wipe/clean stuff away. Thank you for sharing Hope x
That one is my favorite too! Thanks, Deena. I definitely see the benefits of having a clean and tidy desk, but I get in a frenzy of creativity and before I know it, the whole surface is covered. I think little differences like those is what keeps the world more interesting.
@@CraftyHope lol dont get me wrong Hope my desk gets messy and I do end up working in a little space but its not covered in paint, have to clean that stuff away quickly lol
Beautiful, love the simplicity of the jar with the beads. Here in Australia we call that bit at the top of the curtains a pelmet not sure if that’s what you call it too 😊. Thank you for sharing Hope
I have to admit that I've never heard that term before. LOL. But, I appreciate your help so much. Thanks, Deena!
The embroidery floss on the white paper could possibly be from a kit. That is how the floss is measured. Good video. The never ending process of art space clean up & organizing!
OH, I appreciate that info and your support so much. Thank you!!
I literally ran out of space to step around my art room. So last week, I pulled all the stuff out of the room that was in the walk area and it's been laying outside the door. So I'm going to save this video for tomorrow afternoon to help motivate me to get stuff put away! 😊❤
I feel that inability to walk in your space and hope that you found some motivation. Best of luck!!
Oh you have some fabulous finds I this video. To check the fabric if it’s natural or not you can cut a bit or if it has threads and then burn it. If it turns to ash it’s natural with no chemicals but if it melts and sticks together is man made or has some chemicals on it. Thank you for sharing Hope
It wasn't a huge haul this go-round, but definitely some treasures. I really appreciate the tip. I may give that a try. Thanks!
My favorites were the first and the last. On that last card I loved your combo of colors
Thanks, Nina! This was a great bunch. I'm not sure what had me adding those colors, but I suppose it worked.
You make us pick a fav, nope all of them in their own way. Greeting cards, humm. I make greeting cards & yep I'm gonna dig out my mini art pieces. Thanks Hope🍦🍦🍦
You are too kind. And yeah, these work great on cards, I just use strong double-sided tape to stick them down. I bet any kind of other art piece would work. I use all kinds of bits to make fun cards.
I thought you said cannabis wow hope...then I realized you said canvas. I think. But it made me laugh 😅
Oh gracious!! LOL! Year, I do mumble from time to time. Sorry about that!
@@CraftyHope no worries I love a good belly chuckle🤠
Fabulous cards. The first one is my favourite. It needed that graphite pencil to define the petals. Thank you for sharing Hope
That's my favorite one of this bunch too! And, yeah...I'm glad graphite was the prompt, otherwise I might have gone with something else. And, the stabilo worked perfectly. Thanks, Deena!!!
Lovely Hope! You do beautiful work ⚘
Thank you, Pattie! That one was a labor of love. I really wanted to see if I could combine so many of my "skills" - jewelry-making, laser designs, mixed media...It's such a simple thing in the end, but I love all the movement it has.
Hey Hope ❤❤❤ great haul! Happy Sunday
Aw, thanks, babe! I hope your Sunday is fantastic too!
Daisy’s are my favorite too.
They're just so simple and easy, right? No fuss.
always look forward to your thrifty thursday! I've used texture plates pressed in heavy gesso or a paste to make texture on a page - works so great!
Oooh, That's a great idea too. I'll have to remember that for tomorrow's icad maybe! Thanks!!
I love your haul. That large amount of fabric doesn't look like muslin to me but I don't really know what it is. Love those yearbooks. I was just wondering if any of your family members might be in there when you mentioned that some of your husband's family might be in there. The covers are quite lovely. i also love that record book. The yearbook with all the comments is kind of strange but interesting. Love the eyelet fabric. That would rust dye really well. Thanks for sharing and take care!
Aw, thanks, Kaylin! The bit of the selvedge label that I can see says that it's an insulating liner - I'm guessing for curtains. But, I think I can still try dying, stamping, stitching on it too. And, yes! I want to try both rust and eco-dying the eyelet. I hope I can get around to it soon. Thanks for your input and suggestions!
You always have the neatest finds.i envy you living anywhere near anything🤠 ughh good finds at h lobby. I won't shop there even if they were the only shop around but damn 👍 Thanks for sharing thrifty t day 🍭🍭🍭
I think I only find things because I look pretty often. I've gotten more and more selective though too. As for the HL...I only purchase items from them if they are on sale on clearance. Otherwise, I look elsewhere. Their clearance prices are hard to beat.
