A Is For . . . (Blogging From A To Z Challenge 2014)

Welcome to Blogging From A To Z series with Pin & Tack.

It's all about challenging yourself to write based on a letter.

Today's letter is . . .

My automatic thought was "apples" - Ha ha ha. Not very creative, right? Well, I don't mind going with the easy, but I decided to try a few different words.

My inspiration is handmade. I adore all things handmade. I spend a little too much time checking out others' craftiness. Now, I can justify it. I must look 'cause I need some As to share with you!

Almond

Anchor

Apron

Did you enjoy this little exploration? What A word would you have chosen?

Don't be shy - share yours in the comments & stay tuned tomorrow when I explore the B word.

With blessings & joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn

Throwback Thursday: Tacks

On November 10, 2010, I sold my very first set of Diamond Thumb Tacks.

I can't believe it was so long ago. I still get excited when someone purchases them!

See the differences? Ha ha ha. I'm definitely taking better pictures. Lighting is key :)

For fun and because I LOVE to see changes, share a craft from back then and one from now.

Blessings & joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn

New Season, New Things . . .

Sparkle & smile - It's Spring! And I have been feeling the joy of it.

Perhaps, that's why I'm a little obsessed with yellow right now?!

My inspiration was the sunshine that I am soaking up - Sorry for those that aren't as lucky!

This lovely weather has pushed me to try new things, including digital arts & crafts.

Are you on a new journey? I'd love to hear about your creative or not-so creative adventures.

Blessings & joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn

Friday's Handmade Finds: Smoky Blues

Exploring handmade creations is a journey that I take frequently. I just can't help myself! This week, it was smoky blues . . .

Organic T-Shirt by ilovemixtapes

Science shows there is reason it's important to read a book, so this T-shirt gives excellent advice. Read a book - It's good for you :)

Crochet Gloves by skywatcher1121

Crochet lace is a lovely way to add a vintage look to your fashions & living spaces. You can find someone to make it for you or DIY with free patterns.

Owl Necklace by poisonberryjewelry

Did you know? Owls' eyes are fixed in their sockets, which means they have to turn their entire head to look in a different direction. Luckily, they have excellent binocular vision to make up for it.
