Earth's Mightiest Valentines

I have mostly been ignoring the giant craft list in favor of reading lately. Already, this year, I have completed 38 books. I will readily admit that most of those are comics. The first part of the year I always seem to be either very busy, super tired, or a combination of the two. Comics from the library provide lots of entertainment but are easy to read in small bits. I didn't manage to get them done before Valentine's Day but I finished two projects that I had purchased fabric for last year.

Avengers Pillow Cases


'I woof you' Bandana




Gil is such a good and handsome boy.

In other news, I have some projects that I'd like to start but am running into roadblocks. We still have not been able to fix the problems with our flooding spare room. It only floods when we have heavy rain and flash flooding in the area. The problems are connected to bad drainage in the yard and we are still looking into the best way to fix it. IF we could be sure that room wouldn't flood again come spring it would be the best place to work on recovering a chair I have. 

We've been gradually working on decluttering our entire house so that is easier to keep clean. If everything has an easy to find place then, in theory, it is easier to keep everything cleaned up. I just finished sorting through the last big box in our office and the main bookshelves in our dining room. It doesn't give us much more space but it is still a satisfying feeling.

I'll keep chipping away at that craft list. I hope everyone can find some inspiration to keep working at whatever it is they care about.
