When I was in high school, I had a curfew of midnight because my mom and dad said "nothing good happens after midnight", well this can also be true in crafting.......I say "nothing good happens with my crafting after 8:00 PM"!!!!
My friend Kris and I were discussing this premise yesterday at her bead shop. She showed me a few pieces of jewelry that she worked on the other night, the first 3 were fabulous but the 4th piece did not look the same as the others. She said she was tired but wanted to get the 4th one done and it was after 8:00 PM, and as a result of it being late and her being tired, the 4th was not the same as the 1st. I too had this happen to me the other night. It was after 8:00 PM and I had just spent about an hour wire wrapping a pendant and wrapping beads into it when I stole a fleeting glance at the clock and noticed that it was coming up on 8:00 PM. Knowing that I was about to lose focus at any moment, I rushed through wrapping the bale........I cut the wire.....the clock struck 8:00 PM.......I dropped the pliers.......the wire bent the wrong way......I swore......I muscled the wire into a loop.....I swore again.....oh no, it was now 8:04............

This is the pathetic result of crafting after 8:00 PM............a craptastic wrapped bale!
On a positive note, the big thaw has started here in Western Pennsylvania. Thanks goodness! It was 43 degrees today! I'm hoping for more warm weather this week.
We had a tremendous amount of ice built up in the gutter out front and it's slowly melting.
This is the first times I've seen the rocks around the side of the house in months!
My wonderful husband even washed my car for me. Thanks honey!
Just look at my pots sitting there with their snowy hats on......they're just waiting to be planted this spring. I've been buying seeds and planning what to put in my pots and beds. I'm also excited to start to think about planting the garden boxes too.
Hey I hope you all had a great weekend and you accomplished everything you needed to do before 8 PM!
