I made a candy cane decoration out of empty paper towel tubes. It was harder than I thought it’d be to make the rounded crook of the cane. It took a few tries, but I figured it out and finally got one to came out fairly adequate.
Now on to my next project… whatever will it be…
I hope your week is filled with success
and Happy craftings!

Rarely does my husband and I do anything for Valentine’s Day. We enjoy just being together and celebrate it fairly quietly. We share the day going for a ride and/or cooking. However, This year my husband decided to surprise me with a gift he said he had been thinking about buying me for awhile; my own drill and drill bits. What a wonderful surprise it was too. It’s a super fun gift. I love the tools and the handy box to tote it in. I’ve had a little dremel for years. It does well for light-duty small stuff, but sometimes it’s too light weight for some of my projects. My husband’s drill is big and awkward and too heavy for me to use very successfully. I usually have him to do that part of a project if need be. I’m glad to finally have a drill that’s more my size. I adore my husband for getting me such a thoughtful useful gift.
He’s a peach, that man of mine. 
I hope your weekend was an enjoyable one &
your week is filled with good cheer & creativity.
Sheli enjoyed some time sitting in my lap under a shade tree. We’ve been trying to take advantage of the nice weather in between storms.
Last weekend, My husband built a small fire for me and our Grandson to grill some marshmallows to make some smores. Our Grandson was surprised I’d never made nor eaten a smore before. It was a lot of fun for me to have my Grandson show me how to make one. Here’s a photo of my first and only smore. 🙂
We were at our local department store and I was delighted to see that they have Mary Jane Peanut Butter Kisses stocked on the shelves already. Peanut Butter kisses doesn’t last long on the shelves and they’ll be out-of-stock within no time. I scurried over and got me a couple bags. Apparently there’s a lot of us that share a sweet-tooth for these chewy sweet goodies. I wonder if that’s just a southern-thang or if they’re as popular in the other parts of the states and the world?
Do you have a seasonal candy or food that you look forward too buying or making over a holiday? 
I chopped open some of my round squash to save the seeds. I didn’t keep the squash part, we’re burned out on squash for the year. I had my husband take them to the woods for the deer to eat.
While I was sitting under a shade tree trying to surf the net I finally got my blog page to load and then I noticed my reflection in my KindleFire, so I took a sort of a reflection-selfy with my digital camera. lol 
Notice the band-aid at the top of my KindleFire. It’s there blocking the camera lens. I do the same thing on my laptop too. I don’t like having cameras pointed at me all the time. I’ve never even activated the camera on my KF. I don’t see any reason too. If it had a camera lens on the back side like a cellphone, I’d probably activate it and use it though.
I wish I was more skilled at using the keyboard on the kindlefire, then I could do some serious blogging. Honestly, I don’t have the patience to sit and correct-the-auto-correct. For some reason it constantly changes what I type. Oh well, gotta love modern technology.
So, how about you, other than texting, are you skilled at using the typing part of tablets or cellphones to make blog posts or comments?
I hope these last days of Summer are going well for you all.
Have a nice weekend.
🙂
