This year, I decided to hand make gifts. Mostly because with hay the price it is these days and seven horses, money isn't exactly thick on the ground. That and because I have an entire room full of unused material and crafting paraphernalia that has been sitting there for years just waiting for me to use it.
I find it a lot easier to sit and look at YouTube or Pinterest and oooooohhhh and aaaawwwww at collecting ideas rather than actually getting off my duff and DOING those ideas. That stopped this Christmas.
So aaaallll my girlfriends got Christmas decorations in the form of Gnomes. Yeah. I'll bet they are thrilled. But at least my crafting supplies have a tiny, little dent in them now.
I only took pictures of TWO that I made. Don't know why I didn't take more pictures because I made like SEVEN of these little creatures. But if you've seen one gnome, you've seen them all. Or at least...well....you know what I mean.
I made a couple of them without signs and put little bundles of fire wood or other cute little things in their hands. I did this while watching Avatar for the 700th time. I really LOVE my Disney+! And if I have a movie on I have seen a gazillion times, I don't actually have to watch it because listening to the dialogue, I know exactly what is happening on screen. Very convenient.
Anyways. That is it for my creativity this year. Now on to the next year, where I will again make some really cool resolutions that I will never follow through on.
I really like the age I am. I really like living alone. Because no one can tell me what to do and it really doesn't matter if I don't wear make up or color my hair. I am old. And I can do what I want. Like make silly gnomes and give them away.
Merry Christmas.
