Relief In Sight!

I don't want to get too excited but it looks like our temperatures, for the next little bit at least, are down a few degrees. Of course, I don't know if that means they will stay there-and maybe even keep descending-or if this is just a brief respite. In any case, I'm not complaining.

I have been busy with chores around the house the last few days but today I saw a craft post that I thought I would like to try. It is a Halloween wall decor and a bit different from others that are everywhere. Of course, it was made from things from Amazon that I would need to order. They weren't too expensive but I would only be using one of the items out of the package I would need to buy. The package is about $15. Add to that the frame I still need and the other supplies and you no longer have an inexpensive craft. I know I would enjoy making it but I would have lots left over that I wouldn't use and could actually use that money for something I really need.

And so, I am going to try what I have done in the past. Instead of ordering the wooden figures from Amazon, I resized an image and printed it out. I am going to mount it on foam core and then cut it out and have something close to the inspiration-I hope. I would actually get started right now except that this will only work with the really pretty unfinished wood frame from HL and I have yet to get there to see if my store has them in stock. And so, my tomorrow is starting to plan itself. Lol

It's actually kind of crazy that I am thinking about this because I was trying to convince myself to tone down my Halloween decor this year but, I love to craft and I also like to add new things every year. I guess I will need to practice "one new thing in, one old thing out". We'll see how far I get with that! Lol

I think I have mentioned that football practice has begun for both of my grandsons. The one here in high school will be a senior and that means he will have lots of large banners of him and the team hanging in the stadium. I happened upon this while scrolling FB the other night so I'm guessing they are getting the pictures ready to make the banners. They like to use "fierce" shots for their individual ones so I guess this may be in the running. He does look rather fierce at first glimpse but then you catch the braces-lol. Not sure that will scare away too many opponents! LOL

 That's it for today. I'm just happy that my brain is starting to get busy again. Summer always does me in! Hoping as the days go by I can find even more ideas to share with you. Stay safe and stay tuned.
