      Yes, the layers are definitely what keep my hands busy and push me forward. You can see many of them in the detail shots, but you have to look hard. I was just thinking about that this morning - how much I love tiny details, things that could easily be missed. But, those are the bits that thrill me the most. Thank you for your time and kind words, Rose. It means more than you know.

      Yes, decorating the can is definitely an option and would help keep them from rusting. Since I made these 3+ years ago, they have rusted beautifully, and I love that! As for their sound, it all depends on what you hang on it. The ones I made are not very loud at all, a slight tinkling. But, I love them for their decorative purposes even more.

    lol. My daily life is just a struggle bus. I don't even have kids, girl. lol. I work full time during the day, fix supper, tend to my garden and flower box, then while hubby watches tv I usually try to sneak upstairs to edit UA-cam videos or finish projects in the craft room before the cats start screaming for treats and bed time. IF I have any energy left or have deadlines that can't wait, I trudge back upstairs to work in the quiet bedtime hours until I can't hold my eyes open anymore. Only to begin anew a few hours later at 7-8am. lol. I'm getting too old for all these things, even the fun ones have turned into "deadlines" now. lol. My 51 year old self needs to re-evaluate more than my storage. lol. I'm not even selling my jewelry still...5 years after our 2nd cross-country move. We are ALMOST finished with our master bathroom remodel that's taken this long and when we move in downstairs...I'm hoping to finalize our house unpack so I can get rid of what I no longer use and then reactive my selling. I just don't have time to post pics at Etsy and everywhere. lol

    Great to catch up with you Hope. I love the floss holder ideas, especially the mushrooms. Good for you for getting organized. I thinks that it helps with the creativity. Love your yard. It looks so nice and green and pretty with the flowers. Thank you for sharing your week with us and for influencing me to start organizing the table where i sit and stitch. See you next time!

      Thank YOU for taking the time to watch!! And, I'm tickled I inspired you. You might have noticed that you got some of the re-vamped mushrooms in your package. I thought adding the holes would make them look more like mushrooms and give you the change to put them on a book ring or something. In any case...thank you for everything.

      You definitely deserve the shoutout for those cool stencils. I'm so tempted by the new ones too! The color of that blue stabilo is so good. I'm glad I inspired you to go look for yours too. Yay!

      Fabulous page, if it’s not black then I lean towards using my inktense pencils rather than the coloured stabilo all pencils that I own. lol not sure why 🤷🏻‍♀️. Love to see you using your snippet roll. Thank you for sharing Hope

      @@deenaotway7717 That's funny because I forget about my Inktense pencils all the time. And, that's because I don't have them out the same way I have the stabilo. Now that you mention it, I should pull them out...they are permanent rather than the reactiveness of the stabilo!! Thannks!!

    I love finding old yearbooks! Both for the history and the unique graphics. (The pages scan beautifully for printing)They are also good conversation starters. Many of my neighbors are older, and if I find a book that might be from an area where they had lived, I will share the book. I've heard so many great stories, even if they knew nothing about the yearbook. It has created some lovely friendships. So many things, so many projects. Creating makes life so much richer.

    Loving the text on the icads. The first one is my favourite by far. lol you made me laugh when you were talking about your messy desk. I hate having a messy workspace. I hate when I get paint etc on it. I love under paper when it’s on some else’s desk, just not mine. I have to wipe/clean stuff away. Thank you for sharing Hope x

      That one is my favorite too! Thanks, Deena. I definitely see the benefits of having a clean and tidy desk, but I get in a frenzy of creativity and before I know it, the whole surface is covered. I think little differences like those is what keeps the world more interesting.

    Oh you have some fabulous finds I this video. To check the fabric if it’s natural or not you can cut a bit or if it has threads and then burn it. If it turns to ash it’s natural with no chemicals but if it melts and sticks together is man made or has some chemicals on it. Thank you for sharing Hope
