On a rainy Sunday in Bremerton

We stayed home today, Pop and I.  The weather is back on track for the Northwest, wet and blustery.  That is ok, I wasn't fooled by old man winter letting us have all that sunshine.  Ha Ha this is one Washingtonian he didn't catch slipping.

Today, and for the last week Pop and I have been watching YouTube videos.  I have been watching how to make storage solutions from Dollar Tree Foam Board.

This is what I made:

Two drawer organizers.  I used hot glue and masking tape.  So now all my pens are stored flat like "The Frugal Crafter" recommended.  I did have to throw out some double sided cheap pens away.  I had had them for at least 5 years so it was OK to let them go.  I had fun making it.

I also chatted with a swap partner from  Mini album swaps, a group, on Facebook.  It was a chunky charm swap and I was really nervous how the "goodies" I sent would be received as I had never done anything like that before.  She told me she really loves the charm so I am glad.  It was nice to chat with someone who is interested in the same crafty stuff.  I haven't had that in a while.  Enjoy

Were did this blogger go?

I have been taking care of my Pop, he has been in and out of the hospital a lot since Oct of 2014.  He is doing better now, fingers crossed.  He is my best work in progress. 

Other than that, I started crafting again.  I have had carple tunnel surgery on both my hands so know maybe I can get some things done.

As of April 1, 2015 the 2 year consignment store saga will be ending.  I have enjoyed it but the space rent is going up 22.00 more dollars and that is too much for me. 

We only watch tv over the antena know and with youtube and netflixs.  Pop likes it and I am addicted to how to videos. 

Here are some random photos from the last few months.
