Comforting the Crazy - March 12, 2020
I don't want to remember today as the day the world went crazy, so I'm just going to talk about what I did today.
I had beautiful conversations with friends.
I had terrific message sessions with my siblings where we shared funny quotes & comics. It was fun.
I picked up my prescription with no problem. I avoided grocery stores because they were crowded and I have everything I need (even though I really am worried 21 eggs isn't enough).
Tonight I worked on paintings. I listened to an uplifting lesson on this week's Come Follow Me section. I reveled in the fact that I don't have to play organ this Sunday! (hee hee)
I indexed tonight - it's not going to the temple, but it is connecting people with families, so it's what I can do now.
I played with my cats and marveled at my blooming jasmine (I think it's called pink jasmine - it's pink and viney & smells weird at first and now I love it). The sky was gorgeous & didn't care that the world was bonkers.
I weeded my front flower patch & noticed a bunch of bulbs are coming up. I have no idea what they are so it's a neat surprise just waiting to happen!
I finished this piece. It's very gold & sparkly.
I'll be back tomorrow. Life is good.

How to Make Folded Books - by Heather Hajek Eddy

It was a blessing in my family's and my life for several years as it kept us afloat financially during some pretty lean years. At the end of 2016, I stopped selling on Etsy for several reasons, but mostly because selling things gave me HUGE anxiety. So, I closed up that part of my life & thought everyone was finding other cool ways to fold books online & wouldn't care about my little booklet. I have been pleasantly surprised to find many people are still interested and emails pop up in my box every so often asking if I'll ever sell it again. (Apparently, once you're on Etsy, you are FOREVER on Etsy and people can find you forever, too.) In the spirit of paying it forward to the world, I'm making the tutorial FREELY available here on my blog . Scroll below to see the tutorial in its entirety, all for free. Eventually I'l
How to Fold Wedding Hearts
This is one of my most popular tutorials because it has a huge payoff for such a little bit of work (well...). I think it's quite a showstopper! This was a free pattern I put on the blog a million years ago, but it's nice to have it here with the other pattern/tutorial.
