Greetings!

Happy Tuesday.

It’s a pleasure to have you here today.

April Projects

Backyard Cactus Blooms.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that April would be a month of projects. I am happy to share that we have already tackled and completed a few. Our outdoor gate and some outdoor walls needed painted, and we took care of that. We are currently working on a more extensive project, where we have hired a flooring company to remove the carpeting and then tile three bedrooms. Although our house is in shambles at the moment, we are confident that it will be transformed into a beautiful space once the project is completed.

Our guest bedroom.

I have repurposed one of the bedrooms in our home as my personal office and craft room. As I prepare to move back into my newly tiled office, I am taking the time to meticulously sort through all of my files and craft items. It is astonishing to see the sheer volume of things I have managed to hold onto all these years!

Crafts

I’ve been busy preparing the rooms for tiling, including my craft room. As it happens, I have gone through my photo archive of some crafts I did, and I would love to share them with you.

We enjoy rockhounding, and Sweet Man has cut and polished them so I can make them into jewelry. I have wire-wrapped many polished cabochons.

Labradorite pendant.
Amethyst Quarts Pendant on Amethyst crystals.
Petrified Wood.
I used beads within my wire wrapping. This is a lapis cabochon.

I enjoy painting especially on glass because it is so forgiving.

Cactus wine glasses.
I love using them on my tablescapes.
Fall pumpkins are added to these wine glasses.

I have sewn a few craft projects as well.

A basket full of carrots.
I sewed the runner and napkins.
I added the napkins to my tea cart.
Embroidered felt pieces.
More embroidered felt.
I enjoy making these felt pieces.

I saw a gal on instagram make clay ornaments so I decided to make my own version.

Sweet Man made me a flower press.

I made pressed flower cards. These flowers came from our gardens.

I have also polished a few rocks!

I polished this purple agate.
This petrified wood was polished by me.

Flowers

I wanted to share some beautiful backyard blooms with you before I sign off. Even though our bedrooms may be in chaos, our backyard is a colorful and vibrant haven for us. Enjoy!

This is where you will find me while I wait for all the work to be done inside.

Thank You

As I always try to convey… we sure do appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.

We are wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you. And whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.

Terri of Second Wind Leisure Perspectives asked us to share  Diamond, Quartz, Crystal, and/or Purple for her Sunday Stills. Thank you Terri!
