I never had time, energy, or space to do creative play during my working years. What a joy to now have all three and I admit I have no restraint when it comes to tools and materials. "Too much?" No way! That's like saying there are too many colors in a rainbow!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971991029290518107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068392907360378021.post-44341514406919385872013-10-31T14:52:20.658-07:002013-10-31T14:52:20.658-07:00I love seeing all your creations, JoAnn!

I agree with you on not throwing out those long collected craft supplies and how wonderful it is to get lost in a project unaware of the time going by. You are truly a crafter's inspiration and now I need to get busy!

Wow, such lovely things you've shared here today, I feel better just looking at all the pretty things made from so many types of materials. I love your outlook and positive thoughts on crafting in general............and admit when I used to do more myself I did often feel guilty about using that time when perhaps I should have been doing other things, like cleaning house, haha! That's changed now, still like a picked up relatively clean house BUT can actually keep the vac in the closet for longer periods now! After the coming days, when the hard flooring goes in downstairs, I may be cleaning even less, well at least faster. Anyone looking for a big hefty Dyson......it's going out when the Swiffer takes over!!!<br /><br />Love ya - Mary Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068392907360378021.post-49830457298885861182013-10-28T01:26:42.199-07:002013-10-28T01:26:42.199-07:00Wow, your are creative, I love the bags and your p...Wow, your are creative, I love the bags and your paintings It must help to be so thrifty.

We should enjoy ourselves and not begrudge the time that we've spent creating. I love to write, take photos, crochet and cross stitch. I would like to quilt and knit, but I can't seem to get the hang of sewing or doing any knitting beyond a simple stitch!Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068392907360378021.post-15599035822799008922013-10-27T06:18:04.957-07:002013-10-27T06:18:04.957-07:00I think that I perused most of your QUILTING blog ...I think that I perused most of your QUILTING blog when I fell in love with the BOOK YOU WROTE.

I used to oil paint years ago and then life got in the way. Now I can't stand the smell of the fumes from the oils. So I am learning to paint with water colors. And of course I love photography.<br />My mom made me those same appliqued & embroidered sunflower girl dish towels years ago!<br />For the longest time I didn't use them because I thought they were so cute. But now they are almost worn out. She did a lot of embroidery work.<br />Enjoy a creative week!<br /><br />Grandma Barb's This and Thathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06639649601385700411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068392907360378021.post-81089480736069473322013-10-26T16:39:21.077-07:002013-10-26T16:39:21.077-07:00Like you, I enjoy doing a lot of things.

I think that if I didn't have craft supplies, I'd be making patterns with rocks outside on the ground. <br /><br />Loved seeing all your crafts. And now you're passing on your love of working with your hands to your grandchildren.
