Busy few days and a new hobby

Well Saturday was my birthday and hubby took me to Cody's in Crystal River for dinner.  It was delicious.   So tender you could cut with a fork T-Bone.  Wen we got home we spent the evening with our middle son and four of our grandchildren and one of our great-granddaughters, swimming and having a fire and making smore's.  I couldn't have asked for a better birthday, good food and family time.

Sunday I spent the day trying to organize my craft room a little more.  This is definitely going to be a long term project.  I can't wait until hubby gets my counter top done.  It will make it so much easier as I won't have to keep getting up and down from the floor.

Monday was spent going shopping for school supplies for the girls, granddaughter's we're raising.  So much fun...Not.  Can't wait for school to start back though...LOL.  Two in  middle school this year, where has the time gone?

Yesterday I spent the day making banana nut bread, and today it will be plain banana bread.

I've discovered Diamond painting.  It's great fun and just like cross stitch.  Here is the best definition I could find for it:

Diamond painting is a relatively new art form where it breaks images down into patterns, very similar to cross stitch. Small, glossy tiles are then applied to canvas to make the pattern.
The tiles which are often called rhinestones or drills, are colour matched to the DMC thread colours and are 2.5mm in size. One side of the tile is flat which is stuck onto the canvas whilst the other is 5D, giving the design a sparkling finish.

Well that's all for now.  Have a great day.
Happy Crafting, Terry

Happy Crafting Terry

What a long day

My craft room is coming along nicely.  I got all three of my storage cubes put together and am finally getting things put away.  I still have a way to go but have emptied 5 storage containers today.  I've also put my cards I made in the file cabinet.  I plan on adding pictures by Sunday.  I didn't realize just how many I had made, especially since I had multiple folders of the same type...LOL.  

OK I was good and posted a little something today.  Now I'm off to relax.
