Minimalist Challenge Day 4

Arts and crafts are not my thing, but for some reason there are a great many doodads and thingamajigs scattered about Doright Manor that would be found in one’s local crafts store. Since today is day four of the minimalist challenge and I had exactly four rolls of ribbon, I thought it the perfect day to rid myself of them.

Four rolls of ribbon that I’ve never used, but that are not brand new. Hence, I believe I might’ve purchased these at a garage sale thinking that I’d create something cute or use them to make a gift prettier. Instead, they’ve crouched, hidden among all my other lonely arts and crafts items, waiting with baited breath for me to notice them. Alas, they were relegated to a spot in my home where cobwebs dwell.

Goodbye ribbon. May you go to a good home where you’ll serve some greater purpose.

Peace, people.

Snapshot #185

I stopped a young lady, she looked to be ten or so, while I was shopping today and asked if I could take a picture of her adorable shoes. Her dad gave the okay, and I captured this cute photo.

She’d decorated them herself using a combination of Sharpies perfect and rubbing alcohol, and was purchasing supplies to make another pair. I call this one, “Affordable Wearable Art!”

If you’re interested, I found this technique on Pinterest. Looks like a fun summer project!
