I recently went to a craft store and immediately searched for my favorite aisle, the one stocked with clearance items. I found a bunch of great stuff: 4 trays for hot dogs (my guy has a thing for Vienna Beef and making the perfect hot dog), pack of 42 pretty scrapbooking sheets, 10 small watercolor paper cards, and a couple of other things. I love deals, and I spent just $11 on all of that. Stocking up on craft things makes me eager to actually put them to use. So last night I pulled out my watercolors and just played around for a little bit, making cute little paintings. I like how they turned out, and they're perfect for leaving small notes to my loves.
This walnut caught my eye while I was taking photographs. I truly never knew that a walnut has a heart inside. Love it!
This painting was practice from a watercolors technique book I have.
And lastly, the autumn embroidery I made for my room. I plan to have all four seasons finished soon, spring is already done. 
I thank God that there are so many things we can make with our hands. The weather is gorgeous and life is good. I couldn't ask God for more.
I love a good bargain too. I hoping to hit up the craft stores tomorrow to see what I can find. Love the water color pieces, they look fantastic.
