All kinds of artistic things have been happening in the House of Jana lately. On an e-mail list I'm on, we're doing a Something-For-Me crochet challenge. What am I making? A purple crochet shrug! Here is a pic of it so far:

It looks a little wierd, but only because it's at a funny angle on the chair.
I've also been decorating boxes... here is the lid for a pretty purple box!

And the bottom of another box. I used a package of random old Hymnal pages (bought at a yard sale!) and ripped them in pieces to make this look!

I also made an ornament from the pages, which looks much cuter than it does in this fuzzy-wuzzy pic.

I also made some green ornaments! Aren't they festive? I plan to embellish all of my ornaments later, with various pretties.

Aunt Clara came over Monday evening (James's Auntie) and decided to join the fun... isn't her red ornament awesome??

She also decorated an empty apple sauce jar!

She made some ornaments with wittle animals on them!



Isn't it funny how to people can work at the same task, with the same materials available, and have COMPLETELY different results?
Now that you've seen what I've been up to, today's Question of the Day is:
What have YOU been up to?

That's awesome! What do you use to decoupage? I've used Modge Podge, but it still ends up feeling sticky. I've been through many different glues and what not, do you recommend anything?
Also, have you ever seen those DOMINOES that people decorate? Have you ever tried that? We may need to talk more artsy stuff!
Oh, and to answer your question--I've been working on an article about Family Force 5 and I feel good to have it finished. :)
I have been up to my ears in getting ready for Philadelphia, but now it's all packed in the van and just waiting for me to get in and drive! And also taxes. And I finished them this morning too!!!! (how is it that we paid more money in, had less income and still paid $1K MORE than last year?? What have they been up to in Congress that I missed?!)(and I used TurboTax so that wasn't due to a math error on my end either).
Hi. I haven't been up to much. Just reading tons of books and preparing for TRC the best way I know how. I hope access ride has approved me, by the way!
You are so creative! I am impressed.
What have I been up to? I want to be closer to God, and I am learning how to do that.
I like your purple crochet shrug :)

Wow! That shrug is adorable Jana. I'm glad your creating through the pain.
I'm visiting TK and then flying to WA to meet new grandson. Not very creative but fun.

I have been up to trouble! Mwa-ha-ha. Actually, not really. Just dancing and gaming and hugging my Mister.
