Three videos up on YouTube today!

Well, I finally put the Kumihimo video up.  It gave me fits with trying to edit; so outside of adding some text and shortening it - I posted it.  I think I need to find some other software to do this with - we'll see.

The Kumihimo video is in two parts but the second one is very short - just a look at how the cord finished out and how it looks on the face pendant.

 I really struggled with the words making this video - I hope it gets better with practice.

The third video is another short and sweet one just showing that I received my Heartfelt Creations order. Their new release is called Birds and Blooms and it looks very pretty.  I'm hoping to get some use out of this one.  I have the complete Sunflower release too which I love - just haven't played with it a lot - although I do have some Sunflowers made that aren't too very shabby - if I do say so myself.

It's very cold here today and I have the wood stove going and a couple of small heaters as well as my oil furnace.  I've come to realize with trying to make videos to share things that this house is far from quiet.  My oil furnace is so loud that you can hear it running in the background of every video.  Oh well - real life - and of course my dog, Wally, just loves to bark - I think he thinks I'm talking to him or that I'm saying someone is coming - he makes a racket.

I am hoping to go up in my craft room and sort some things out.  I have a huge stash/collection of stuff and it's everywhere - it really needs to be organized and I need to use what I have.  I am a veteran crafter so I take up a lot of space.  LOL.

Card design - almost done

I hope where ever you are, that you are having a creatively happy day.  Until we meet again - be well and God bless,  K

Valentine with options...

Happy January 13th!  A beautiful, albeit, cold Tuesday here in upstate NY. The sun was almost painfully bright - giving the illusion that it was warmer today - when in fact it was a rather chilly 4 F - again - without windchill - and there certainly was one - -11F below zero.  Brrr!

I am trying to work out how to do YouTube videos - as a matter of fact that's how I spend a couple of hours today - still not comfortable with it.  Will keep trying.  I really want to grow this blog and my YouTube channel - please follow my blog and subscribe to my YouTube channel - I would really appreciate it!

I also spent time today trying to work out what kind of necklace hanging to use for my Valentine face pendant.  I am a very slow crafter I think.  The video I made to test out editing software was about trying Kumihimo to create the corded hanging.  The video will not make it to YouTube but some iteration of this may - I am still working out materials.  I came up with some very thin black cord and matching white cord so I think there will at least be a video about creating the corded necklace.

Here are a few photos of the face pendant with necklace bases that I already have and then a photo of a prior work of Kumihimo that I finished last summer.  Hope you like them.

Kumihimo - the end is not yet completed will be a tassel or beaded

The last picture is from yesterday morning - it snowed fairly long and pretty hard.  Enough that the snowplows were out all day and even my driveway was plowed.  I am very blessed to live in such a beautiful place - at least I like it when I can look at it from inside the house - LOL.

I will hopefully have a video to upload either tomorrow or Thursday; until then, may your life be happy!  K
