Lost: Crafty Little Spark

I am not sure if you have noticed, but I took a short break from blogging. I had lost my crafty little spark. It was gone......gone I am sad to say. I was all crafted out. With April, May and June not really having a "Holiday", I was lost as to what I should do/make. Inspiration nowhere to be found. What to do!?!? I would just have to take a break. Well, my yard really enjoyed this break. It was sadly neglected last summer for it was too hot to do anything outside. Spring is perfect for yard work. DH and I started on a Japanese garden last summer and with HOA approvals taking up to 6 weeks, you have to plan early. I didn't plan early and we probably started in June. It got hot really quick. It is so pleasant now. We worked on the Japanese style bridge this past weekend and hopefully can put a goldfish pond in next weekend. I will take pictures once we have finished the yard. DH was able to rake about 30 bags of leaves last week and Son took them around to the front yard for Yard Waste pickup this morning. I pulled weeds and mulched the flowerbeds. Fresh mulch makes your yard looks so wonderful!

Well, working out in the yard got my crafty back on. I found this little baby bunny in the yard (actually I think it is an adult, but it is so tiny and cute) and boy was she fast! All I could think about was "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date!". She inspired me to make some little characters (sorry....no, not Alice in Wonderland characters-but they are on the craft bucket list). Different from my usual. I can't wait to show you. I am thinking about offering up some for sale because I know that many of you don't hand sew or machine sew. Several of you have emailed me about offering my felties, etc for sale on my blog and suggested that I use the Elizabeth (Creative Breathing) system- you send me an email and let me know which one that you would like, mail me the check and when I receive the check, I mail you the package. Easy. You don't need a paypal account or an Etsy account. I should be finished with new characters in about a week, but hopefully I will blog before that, about something.....like maybe the goldfish pond? Poor hubby was      "stove up" after raking, I can't imagine what he will be like after digging.

Here is a little teaser:

I hope that each and every one of you has a wonderful day and try not to lose that crafty little spark that lives in each and every one of us!
