Gettin' Crafty

This past weekend I got the crafting bug. I've never been a crafter but for some reason I felt that I could possibly make something. I attempted to make some candy corn ornies and some sleeves for my jarred candles. Surprisingly, they did not turn out too bad. I tried to tea stain the muslin, but I guess I did not use enough tea bags and possibly used too much water. I do have to respect the crafters out there because I can't tell you how many times I messed up because I was either side tracked or not paying close attention to what I was doing. All in all it was fun. My mother in-law was rather impressed with my candle sleeves and actually wanted one. :O She made me feel good. Anyhow, I think I will try my hand at some simple crafts for the coming holidays. There's a kind of satisfaction that one gets when they can say " oh, I made that! So to all the crafters out there, I tip my hat to you because I now understand how focused you must be, how much time, effort and creativity goes into making your creations. I have attached some pix for your viewing. Don't laugh because they are rather simple and they are my master pieces lol (do you sense the drama).
