I have not been as productive over this time off as I should have been. I should have gotten so much done. Sewing, working on my calligraphy, reading, etc. But, I just haven't been at all. No excuses, just reality.
Anyway, tonight I finished a small embroidery project I have been working on and I decided to show off a few of the crafty things I've been up to. They really aren't anything special. I'm just desperate to post something and to show off these latest two embroidery projects. Sorry. I hope they aren't too boring. Enjoy the photos. (I am including links to the places where I got the patterns, instructions, etc. for each project if appropriate. Hope this helps if you want to give any of them a try!)

| Beautiful origami flower. I found it on Pinterest and it took me to this lovely site. Check it out. If you put 12 of them together you get a really big ball flower that is gorgeous!!! Kusudama Tutorial |

| Another Pinterest find. This one is a chocolate box. So cute and super simple. Find the pattern here. |
 |
| Simple origami pinwheel. Check out the easy instructions here. By the way, don't you LOVE this tye dye style paper? I DO!!!! |
 |
| The embroidery piece I just finished. It took a lot of work to fill all this in. If you look, you can see each color/part is a different style stitch. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet, but I adore it!!! The decision for the stitches and colors was mine; but the outline pattern came from here. |
 |
| I finished this last week. I used a variety of stitches and added buttons for a different feel. I am kind of into buttons lately and need to work on some project ideas I have to go with that. Honestly, I can't remember where I found this outline. Sorry.... |
 |
| Finally, a practice page from my calligraphy 'workbook'. I haven't been practicing much and I need to. I really want to learn to do this well, from memory without looking at my book! |
