Hey out there! Doubt anyone sees this, but that's not the point. This is for me and anyone else who is going through stuff. Physical, emotional, whatever.
I love to try new crafts and I see all the blogs of extremely creative people who actually follow through. Where do they get the time? Oh yeah, they aren't hooked on Frontierville or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Well I can quit any time I want. I'm kind of over it anyway.
This a being said, I would like to start this blog with a passion of mine. I love to watch the BBC version of Cash In The Attic. They find the most amazing things in people's houses. Maybe because the houses are 100s of years old!! Anyway, in one episode, they showed these carpet balls (pronounced carpet bowls :-}). They're Victorian, which is awesome, and people kept them in a bowl in their parlors and played indoor bocci ball. I found some in an antique store and was tempted to buy them but I'm thrifty (translate:poor) and couldn't part with the money.
I see lots of modern balls in stores, but I really want to make some of my own. My plan is to make a few and display them in a bowl on the dining room table.
So here we go. I hope to have some pics to post by tomorrow.
