I've been cleaning out my garage, but it involves a lot of staring at items and trying to decide where they came from, why I have them, and where my life is going. For the first time, I have all the time, and I'm trying not to waste it, but the truth is-I'm dragging. I don't think it's just me. Oh, corona virus.
So, a week or so ago I pulled out a basket of random stuff in the garage. Normally, I would have tossed these two things, but I decided to try to repurpose everything in that basket instead of tossing or donating the items. The scoop was from a candy bar I probably hosted years ago. Most of the scoops live in a jar with other party items, but I guess this guy missed the boat....and got discolored and probably housed a spider family at some point. The spoon was something I bought when I was trying to bang letters into metal. It turns out metal letters prefer real silver, not dollar store spoons. Don't we all?
So, I gave each of these guys a snowman face and some ribbon and now they are ready for Christmas. And probably a spider family, who I hope appreciates the festive new look.
This also reminded me....I need to go back to that metal stamping craft I wanted to try out. I did some research and I've determined I'm SURE my problem is I didn't have a two pound hammer and metal base. I set aside two silver spoons to see if I can resurrect that craft. Here's hoping things get back to (sort of) normal and I don't have the time, but if not. Get ready.
