Day Four: magnets redux

Today was relatively uneventful in the realm of crafts. I am afraid to try something new, based on my terrible failure yesterday, so I made some more magnets. Today I created series of red ones for my mom, plus a green one for me. (I think I am addicted to making magnets now.) If I could find some sort of career that requires me to leaf through magazines and rip out pages, I would be a happy clam.


I also ventured to Value Village today, to search for fabric for my miscellaneous sewing projects that I may attempt once I get my crafting confidence back. On that list is a tool bag, a reversible purse, a clutch bag, a laptop case, and maybe a stash bag - so I need a lot of fabric. Only two caught my eye, because the selection is obviously limited; I may venture to the actual fabric store for one of the smaller projects. But today I chose second hand, and let me warn you: do not go to Value Village on a Tuesday. It's 30% off day for seniors, so I stood in line, clutching my two items, for half an hour waiting while old people haggled with salespeople. I have nothing against old people, I just wish they would have a separate line-up for non-seniors on this day. Or I should have been smarter and waited until tomorrow.


Sorry for the picture quality - my camera is a piece of junk. The clear photos you have seen previously are from my mom's camera, but she has it with her right now.

Day Four Highlights: ripping pages from magazines, magnets, cheap fabric

Day Four Lowlights: not being a senior on 30% off day for seniors, long lineups, junky cameras

Tomorrow: probably a writing thing. Or maybe a purse! But probably not a purse.
