Bottle up!

I found out that I'm addicted to yarn! I love it. The way it smells and looks on a yarn spinner thingy, the fresh feeling of plucking out your faves at a studio, or that feeling you get knitting on a park bench.  Everything about yarn makes me want to buy a garbage bag worth when I ransack Smiley's or hit up a nice flea market sale. 
       Now for those who keep a close watch on CozyTown, you may have witnessed the painted CozyTown wine bottles, yeah these sweeties are selling like hot cakes. People seem  to love it, this age old idea of recycling... go figure lol. Anyway I have come up with the ultimate duo... but of course I'm not going to tell you what just yet. I need an unveiling so to speak, an debut if you will. Upon releasing the secret early I feel you could be robbed of the sheer joy one might feel when looking at these master pieces. So stay tuned and I will bring the "The summer craze" from CozyTown.

Making Time All The Time?

Admit to yourself  that there's just not enough time.Not even enough for you to take a deep breathe much less create! I find myself completing one project a week instead of two like I plan, and you know what? thats okay....
Ok now that just made me sound like a "I'll do it tomorrow"-er and I don't care. I find that if you start stressing about your crafts then it not crafts it's work or a chore. So look what you've done you've robbed the craft of it's fun-ness! what the joy in having to cry because you started Thursday and you're not done yet, and it now Tuesday. I say good ridens to calendars and deadlines when it's something you're making for fun. (business is a different story)- but even then pace yourself! Don't destroy the reason why you started your craft journey.
Hi I'm Shamiek Cooper and I finished one tote bag this week!
