Well, no International Art Competition, but, it WAS displayed!

Well, so, there was a Stake Talent Show and I signed me and my two kids up to display something that we made. I displayed my art project based on Isaiah 1:18.

It represents coming up out of sin into righteousness.

I was happy to be able to show it off. (and be done with it. done.)

I want to crochet!

For Christmas, a couple of well meaning people saw yarn at All A Dollar and thought of me.
Wow! A Skein of Yarn for $1! I'll get my crocheting friend a whole bunch of it! She likes yarn...

Well, I saw that bin of cheap yarn at All A Dollar, and I know it was there on purpose.
It was pretty ugly!
Therefore, because of well meaning friends I got a whole bunch of weirdly colored eyelash/bumpy yarn (black, orange and red) and BRIGHT ORANGE soft wavy yarn.
Orange is my LEAST favorite color, next to yellow. Although I do love a soft pumpkin color.
But, that yarn WAS NOT pumpkin color.

Well, I decided that maybe I'll combine some of that bright orange yarn with some black yarn and maybe make myself some Halloweeny colored slippers. My feet are cold, I need some slippers and I have to use it somehow!

Yesterday I finished a little more of my Art Wall Hanging Project to display at the Stake Talent Show. I have one more week to stick the last sleeve-like thing on and add any embellishments that it asks from me.

I'll have to take a picture of it when I'm done. I'll have to take a lot of pics when I'm done. I DID spend a lot of time and energy on it... even though that energy petered toward the end.
At least there's a Talent Show to display it at. That's something.

I'll be back to craftiness soon...

I worked SO HARD (and ignored it too much the rest of the time) on my wall hanging for the Church International Art Competition... BUT, life got sooo crazy busy that I decided it wouldn't be worth it to stress out about it. The due date for entry was last Friday, but I'm feeling very ZEN about not entering.
There's a Stake Talent Show coming up at the end of the month. I thought I would finish it up and display it at that.
Not as prominent.. lol...but less stressful. And that was what 2008 was supposed to be about ... managing stress levels. I'm glad I did... If I were as stressed out and busy with non-necessary activities as I was last year, I wouldn't be able to handle everything that's come my way over the last few months.
Speaking of non-stress... I also got one of my three callings taken away! Yay!

Now, I want to make myself a nice pair of warm slippers, maybe a few tooth fairy bags, and I'm feeling a little more creative now.... just in time for Christmas stuff.

No one really reads this blog, right?

So, I might just repeat this on my other blog. roster007.livejournal.com
