Just a quick little sketch for today.

Days 6-9: we’re back!

TAD Day 9: String art heart
This took me back to my days of summer camp and Vacation Bible School. I used cork instead of wood because as you can see, getting nails hammered in straight is not one of my stronger skills. Inspiration here: http://boxycolonial.com/string-art-heart-ornament-last-second-christmas-post/

Thing a Day 9
Prince Humperduck finds evidence of a duel on top of the cliff. Count Rugen: Who won? How did it end? Humperduck: The loser ran off alone. But the winner followed those footprints toward Guilder. They follow the footprints in pursuit

As a part of this month’s efforts to clear out some of the project backlog, I decided to use up some of the yarn I have stashed. I had seen a Lion Brand Newsletter about Arm Knitting a few days

Dag 8 : Slaaptyd
A little bit late. Only when I switched of my computer at midnight I remembered about thing a day. So I did this first thing in the morning. Before coffee. That is my excuse.

Day Seven: “An Experiment in Stars”
And that’s exactly what it was…some versions of “winging it” and some origami puffy stars from this tutorial: Â http://m.wikihow.com/Make-a-Puffy-Origami-Star Not necessarily failures, but a good start with loads of room for improvement. Â And that’s good enough for today.

TAD Day 8: Hearth broom
I took a class today on broom making. We were able to make 2, a cobweb broom which is longer and the ends are not trimmed, and a hearth broom.  The cats were a little too interested in the brooms
