Making It Monday...Off the Top of My Head from CollectInTexas Gal

The AtoZ Challenge begins on April 1st. This year will be my 7th year to participate. It would have been 8 years, but I missed 2017...I don't remember why.

Every year I think I've run out of ideas for a theme, but somehow I manage to scrape together enough photos and ideas to fill the month with posts that relate to a Theme.

I must admit...if not for the unexpected time off (COVID-19 Pandemic) 2020 AtoZ would not have been possible. With that said, instead of flying by the seat of my pandemic pants...my posts ...

First Monday In March...Old Art from CollectInTexas Gal

I know it's Old Art...the sign says so!

I walk by this corner nearly everyday when I check the mail. On this particular day the light on the Century Plant caught my eye. Out came my phone from my back pocket! Amazing what the eye of the camera catches that is missed by the naked eye...except I had on specs...not quite naked!

Do you see more than rust and old wood?

Good!

Art is in the eye of the beholder...or the holder of the eye!

Monday Midnight Making It...Speedy Yarn Crawl from CollectInTexas Gal

Not quite 'Midnight', but it felt like it by the time I got home from a 'Monday Meet Up' with a 'Yarn/Makin'It4Her' customer.

That's what happens when the first batch of 'Made4Her' pieces are so loved she wants one in every color available.

Thank goodness for sticky notes and a little time before bedtime to get started while fresh on my ...

Making It Monday~Scraps and Leftovers from CollectInTexas Gal

Scrap baskets line shelves, stack under tables, and are a source of frustration and inspiration. On days of frustration...I look at the stacks and shelves as unorganized clutter and a never ending waste of time that I should 'Let Go'. On days of inspiration...I'm so glad my 'Let It Go' days passed and look at the shelves and stacks as a treasure trove of creative and relaxing stitching.
That's what I did for a few hours yesterday. I think I'll do more today while I'm inspired to use up fabric strips, rick rack, misc ...
