Last week was a struggle.  The Cowboy had lots of issues and ate very little.  

Sometimes it is just such a roller coaster 🎢.  I am not sure if I am coming or going.

There are days/weeks that all my ideas, my encouragement just doesn't work.  

Anyone have tips? 

In the studio . . .

Still working on this months crochet block. I keep making a mistake.  Keep ripping out.  

I finished January Altered book ...well the group finished I am still working on it. 

One of the 'things' about Altered books is they get Chunky.  A side view is 'a thing'.

This challenge was an Altered book.  I chose an old homeschool Spanish workbook.  I don't like to alter books.

I've decided I really need a Secretary or small desk with me a Hutch for my Bible Journaling.  I will probably settle for a plastic folding table like I use for gluing.

The round table I brought in a few weeks ago is just not working.

I thought in the beginning I liked it but it takes up too much room.

Reading now . . . 

This week on the blogs 

My 2nd annual Valentine's Promo. Tour!  I am super excited.  All new authors. I hope you'll find a new favorite.

From the camera . . .
