While the logical thing to post about for White Wednesday this week would be the BLIZZARD outside my window, I'm taking a crafting day so I thought I'd show you some of the little projects. I can only handle going so long without creating so a few snow days is just what I need! I want to make myself a new handbag but I thought I'd do some warm-up crafting first... crafting calisthenics.
I picked up a bunch of these metal stars at the dollar store a couple months ago and they have been calling out for a good re-do. They were covered with snowmen and santas so I had to do a couple coats of hammered metal spray paint before adding the pretty stuff but it was a fun stretching exercise (and the stars are finally off my dinning room table!). I think I'm going to hang some in the studio from the ceiling.
Hope your White Wednesday is filled with blessings and delightful moments of crafting calisthenics!

I think your little "warm up" results are really nice! Such talent produced so quickly! Love what you've done on your snow day.
Take care,

Hi Polly,
Crafting is so much FUN! Your stars are great! Also loved the paper cone.
Keep safe inside with this storm.
Warmly,
deb

hugs mina ;-.)
Polly. I love the little stars.
Stay warm in the crazy weather we are having.
These look beautiful...looking for new ideas for our white event in April...thanks for sharing!
Happy White Wednesday Polly. Your blog is such an inspiration! I have been thinking about all you bloggers up there in Chicago land. My son said when he woke up this morning and looked outside his words were "holy toledo". He's sending me pictures soon of their yard. You and family stay warm and safe. Some time ago you had a blog post about using crinkled up brown craft paper as a "curtain". I was wondering if you could send me a link. xoxo Lynn
that is so very insightful to create such beautiful stars from what sounds like uh, not so cute stars... Love them,
xoxo,

It's been awhile since something has taken my breath away, your stars have done just that.
They turned out perfect. I have always loved music sheets and your stars are singing to me.
They turned out so pretty! I loved how you called them your warm up! You definitely look ready to tackle anything! Theresa xoxo
They turned out great Polly!
