Urgent AND Important

I have been SO busy lately!  I don't know - I guess it is end of the teaching year type of stuff that has kept me tied up.  But I haven't had time to practice the piano.  Or read.  Or exercise.  Or answer e-mails from friends.  Or drink wine on my porch.  Or any of the things that I would typically do on nice summer days. 

And today - I finally cracked.  Halfway through doing something that is both urgent and important, I started crafting.  That's right.  Making CRAFTS.  With glue.  And yarn.  And even toothpicks.  Here are the results:

A pretty dumb one:  a sheep grazing in a jar.

A drawer and champagne cork jewelry box. 

 I'm particularly happy with how this one turned out.

And now I'd better finish my work and jump in the shower and head off to teach before anybody notices that I stopped for a morning.  I hope nobody notices the marker I can't get off my fingers!

I love them!! You should definitely take more mornings off. Brilliant use of all those wine corks :)

Now, check out April's cotton ball video...then tell me why I should worry about my daughters!!!

I LOVE both of your crafts! :) The jewelry box is so awesome--I'll have to remember that next time I have a random drawer that I could use for something. I have a shortage of champagne corks in my life right now, but that doesn't usually happen. ;) And I love that sheep so MUCH! For my birthday, I want to make a sheep pasture in a jar.
