Mental Health Week for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took a brief metal health week for myself last week. Well, the 8 year old grandson spent two nights with us so it was more of an insanity time. There were water gun fights, cartoons, crafting and I lost my crafting room (hereby known as the office as named by him) so he could have some private time. Really, you’re 8, how much private time do you need?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did do one small craft last week. I took a charm pack (5″ squares) and cut them into 4.75″ inches. I hate to waste fabric so let’s make these circles as big as possible! The yo-yos measured about 2.5″ finished size. I sewed the circles and Ollie gave me buttons I added to the center. Of course, he was gaming so when I said I need a button, he just grabbed one… So the colors are what they are for the buttons. I placed a wooden ball between each yo-yo and tied a string for hanging to the top. I got 41 yo-yos because, apparently, I had used a charm for a test block at some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have named the tree in the backyard Ollie. He planted it from twigs in found in the bucket by the fire pit. The hole was dug with a garden spade. There was one small twig braced up by another. Then came the dirt and a heavy watering. By the magic of Poppa and some help from a nearby nursery, within two weeks there was a 3 foot pine tree replacing those twigs! Now the tree is about 15 feet tall! So, if you need any tree planting done, I have just the guy for you!<\/p>\n\n\n

Redoing my floss so I know what I have … There is a lot to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you all have taken some time to do a craft for yourself this past week. And also make some time for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay cool… We are under heat warning for the next week so I will be inside crafting…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
