Great deals and unusal candles!

Hello to all!!!

I know i havent been around, but been really busy with bunch of health issues with my boys...

but.. hopefully i'll be back and having more than ever to show!

First off, I was surfing dA (an art community that rocks!)

and found unusual candles that are great for the coming season! FALL!!

Acorn candles!

my son collected some outside, and then we had a family project of melting wax and putting wicks in.

i used the scented wax squares (by in stores) and some pariffin wax. doesnt take much!! and i also refilled some tea light candles to finish using the wax!

Use in a bowl/container with water and they float perfectly! ( be careful not to burn yourself while putting them in!!)

I have been digitally color lots of pictures drawn by other wonderful artist on dA lately, that

is why i do not have much crafting to show... but i did draw this and digitally lined it, hope to color it soon!

How cute? i used several tutorials from my fave drawing site: Dragoart.com

and...this weekend was the local attic sale to raise money for the clubs and groups around town..

after standing in line for an hour, and then walking around for 30mins... i found this!

tons of cross stitch floss and this HUGE thing of yarn!!! i think its light weight/fingering weight..

the yarn was only $5!! i passed it up once, and then went back because i had to have it!!

I was so excited when i found the cross stitch floss, ive been finding wonderful patterns lately, now i have tons of colors to use!!!!

Thats whats going on and may be whats to come!

thanks for stopping by!
