Finally getting back to work

I have been "off" for quite  while, but I am back to get some things going again. I sorted through the finished pieces I have done and plan to take to Anime Expo in July. For that artist alley I plan to make several different types of things, not just jewelry. As that progresses I will keep updating. I also want to do some thing for my Etsy shop. Hopefully I will have a few thing going and ready to put up by the end of the month. Here is where I am starting out.
These are a couple of chain maille bracelets I plan to finish tomorrow


Above and below are the Chaos that is my work area right now
I think I will just star creating as I go through and see what comes up!
Wish me luck and I am off!

Trees for the Festival

Image
As it is almost the end of January, I felt that I should get myself in gear and finish my 2017 Christmas posts. Here is the process I went though this year for the two large trees and one small tree that I decorated for the Festival of Trees First I measured the spaces needed down in my basement game /family area. This tree required a 7x9 foot area and the other required a 9 by 14 foot area. Next I put the trees bag where I wanted to put the tree up in each space. Then I got my ornaments gathered. Next was assembling the trees and checking to make sure the lights worked, as they are always new trees, so far I have not had a problem with lights. Then I put some of the ornaments on, the tree topper on, and the tree skirt around it to check how I am planning it to look. Next I stack the boxes I am going to wrap to had depth and high to the display Then I put out he other items I have that go with the tree theme. This one was a Hogwarts Christmas, of course.

Baked Meat and Cheese Sandwiches I started with two loaf of french bread as I wanted to make enough to freeze some for later and I have found that it only takes a few minutes more to do multiple batches so I can freeze some for a later date. I sliced the bread in half lengthwise Then in a mixing bowl I put one 8oz package of softened cream cheese  and 8 oz of softened butter I then cream it well until it is all mixed together and smooth Them comes the poppy seed I add 2 T of poppy seed And them cream it again until the poppy seeds are evenly mixed in the butter/cream cheese mixture I divide the mixture in 4 and spread it on the halves of french bread.
