Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Thanks so much for joining me here! Getting down to business, I have a big fat confession to make. I very nearly cancelled this lovely party temporarily or not temporarily, I wasn't quite sure! Yes really truly, and it was actually quite heart wrenching after all these years. Life without Craft Schooling Sunday? Here is the story:

You see, I do truly love connecting with you all, but sometimes I have to wonder if it is really worth all the time it takes to visit the links, to grab photos for features, to edit those photos and improve them in many cases using photoshop, and then to pair them up and post them in an order that is visually pleasing. Honestly this is hours of work that could be spent say, creating and photographing content! So when on account of a new internet filter that I had to install in order to protect my kids (of course they would never touch my computer, but the school can't rely on that) didn't seem to be letting me visit any blogs, well, I almost threw in the towel. But that wasn't meant to be as one night for a few hours I suddenly saw that I could have full internet access courtesy of a neighbor's device of some kind, so I quickly visited everyone and pulled enough photos for the features, figuring that at least I'd have this week covered.

Fast forward, that neighbor's device has not shown up again in my list of networks, but I was actually able to get those in charge to change my filter, since there is no problem with all of your lovely blogs generally, so now I do believe that I will in most cases be able to visit everyone, and so no need to cancel the party after all. (At least not this week……) Phew! So Craft Schooling Sunday is still on until further notice, and lets enjoy it! Here are the features from last week's party:

Love this decoupaged and painted briefcase by pillar box blue, and these fabric and lace stuffed pumpkins from flamingo toes.

Jean seams are used to make fun succulent pots by pillar box blue, and love this patio picnic from bird's party.

Super sweet confetti hair bows from howling at the moon, and an adorable smores hoop from bombshell bling (though it was made by flamingo toes, no surprise there!)

Love this DIY farm inspired sign from refresh living, and this paper mache pumpkin from consumer crafts.

A wonderful crocheted granny square from Anabelia, and another fab crocheted mochila bag from howling at the moon.

A vintage dustpan becomes great door decor from refresh living, and yarn becomes an amazing knit car, a 2 CV Dolly, from Ginx craft.

A stunning crocheted African daisy hexigon pillow from chris in de haak, and a fun take on a dream catcher using one of those little wire strainers, from none other than mich in LA.

Just adore this knit Swedish Blixten hippy buy from Ginx craft, and this mason jar ring pumpkin from refresh living.

A lovely stamped leaf dish towel from flamingo toes, and stuffed fabric pumpkins from penny's treasures.

That is it for the features, what have you been up to?
