Safer at Home Adventures

Have you missed me, or not even noticed that I haven't been here in eight months?  I don't know how that happened!  After spending a week with our daughter, I came home in the middle of March (my husband and daughter were both worried that I would be unable to get home), and I've been here, and fine, ever since.  

I logged in tonight to add the link at the right for the new August-December mini catalog.  We used to call it the Holidays catalog, and it is still full of goodness for the fall and winter holidays.  While I was checking the link, I read the date on the most recent post - January!

While I was MIA, for my sixth year, I did "art" on index cards each of the 61 days in June and July for #dyicad2020 - they were all posted on my Instagram account:

This month and September I'll be doing some sewing - the numbered copy paper pages under the ICAD title card are the pattern pages for my first project.  I'm using a bed sheet in a size we no longer use to make super-comfortable super-lightweight pants that I can wear while working in the beehives.  Last month, I captured a swarm for my first time, completely on my own!

I've done some art journaling, which I've posted on Facebook in the group that inspired me.  Also on Facebook, I participated in the Paper Clip Art #12PaperClipsfor2020 swap for the first six months.  These are the clips I mailed to my swap partner:

I made some greeting cards, too, but I wasn't participating in challenges; that's probably why there have been no blog posts.  

And, as usual, I've spent lots of time watching YouTube videos!  While our daughter and grandson were visiting us in February, my grandson decided we should make some YouTube videos of our own, so my little channel now has 3 videos.  I've been waffling about using the channel for video responses to YouTube challenges, but if I can't keep up here, how would I keep up there, you know what I mean?

I hope you all are well and safe in these uncertain and frightening times.
