Its never too late to do it!



There has been a lot going on here and I won't get into it but you'll have to just believe it in faith until you see me in town and I have time to tell you. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother, but luckily I didn't give up and I just kept doing it until it was finished and now i've used a capturer to get it on the onlines so you can finally see what I've done. Well, I can hang it beside the thimbles and save it for next Thanksgiving's Baazaar and hopefully it will sell. I'll probably need to put pantyhose rapped into braids to rope it off, otherwise the cats will get into trouble around that area and ruin eveything, but at any rate it is never to late to start something you've started.

That is truly beautiful, Cathy! I haven't seen one of those since my early days in elementary school. Oh, what a wonderful walk down memory lane! Thank you for posting this!

I have to ask,though: Did you use glue or paste on this one? The joinery looks like it was accomplished with paste, and very well done, but it has been a long time since I used paste.

I really hope this one sells next year, Cathy! It's way better than those turkeys made out of the outline of your hand, which everyone seems to sell around Thanksgiving these days.

Have you thought about using the same technique to make a Christmas Wreath??? Now, that would be spectacular!! And, if you made a Ghost out of something like tissue paper or something like that, you could sell them as a "Holiday Set" and probably make more money.

Anyway, please keep posting your crafts! I'm really impressed!

And who says glue gun fumes are "bad" for you ?!

Yes, I know Brandi. She's a great gal. Why do you ask? Do you need something from her? She's supposed to come over tonight to watch "The XXX-Men" with me.

that is a nice message of hope and that think looks like a turkey. I would make stuff like this and sell it but I have a job at WOrth's that pays me $4.25 an hour. thats not right, me and Wanda work whenever Mr. Simpkins tells us and we just end up with hurting feet. Sometimes I want to go home and cut up paper and make pretty things but I have bills. good luck with your project.

Yes, at $4.25 an hour you'd be hard pressed to make that kind of money selling at the Bazaar. Even if you sold something hot and exciting like macrame trivets (which are all the rage right now in Mindonville), you might not make as much money as you do at Worth's. I mean, that's a guaranteed $170 EVERY week!!! There is no guarantee that you'll make that much selling paper decorations...even the Christmas or Thanksgiving ones.

There is no guarantee in the journey of life which is why I am willing to put in a few hours everyday to risk everything. It passes the time and makes night come faster.

Actually, night comes at the same speed pretty much every night. Except during the Solstices, I guess, and not accounting for various other "seasonal differences". But, for the most part, it's a pretty dependable thing. Night, I mean.

I think what you are thinking about is your PERCEPTION of time, and how you PERCIEVE night to be coming faster.

Unless you know something I don't, (which I find to be highly unlikely) about the passage and/or manipulation of the temporal flow.

Do you, Cathy? DO YOU!?!?!
