I Still Have Stars In My Eyes - December 20, 2019
Last night we had an opportunity to attend one of the first showings of the new Star Wars movie. (No spoilers) One of the vendors who work with Brian's company rented an entire theater and gave him 4 tickets. We invited Kiff's best bud and the four of us made an evening of it.
I was 9 years old when the first Star Wars movie came out in 1977. My parents made me and my sisters guess the surprise they had for us that started with S and W. I was BESIDE myself with excitement!
Forty-two years later I was NOT excited to see this movie. The last two did nothing to get my motor running and I rebuffed Brian's hints that we should go to this one in the theaters (yes, I was THAT disappointed with the other ones) (But I loved Rogue One). The only reason we went opening night was because of the free tickets. I had zero expectations.
And this is how I looked when the movie ended. My 9 year old self was very satisfied!
I'm still so sleepy that a couple of small projects are the best I can do. More ornaments and I tried a little scratchwork on them. Merry Christmas.

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.
