I had every intention of crawling into my attic-but I am so sore. I think my body is still in shock. I went to bed by 9pm, woke up at 1 am and got up to go to work at 2:30am...ick! Oh, this isn't the only morning I was up early. I'm a night owl...so turning morning lark is beyond difficult. Last week my daughter comes in my room- and hollers Mom it is 6!
What I jump at of bed and run in her room. I looked at my clock did it break? It says 2:30am I run in my daughters room she is standing in the floor. "Are you alright-your clock says 2:30 too? " She was dreaming...her nightmare involved me.
Y is for yarn. Most of us some form
of it around-I bet you do. I didn't have time to make this, but you
can take your recycled plastic bags and make yarn. They call it Plarn-( I love the name). See you do have yarn...lol
People are serious about this yarn. They spin it and create all kinds of items: purses, coasters, jewelry and well this!
Z is for Zippers!
Seriously cool stuff...wish I could of snagged a bag of these when home.
My mom had this huge treasure chest on her back porch. This chest look like something a sea captain had
brought back from the bottom of the sea.
Inside fabric, yarn, all kinds of
craft odds n' ends and sewing notions. No wonder we played on the porches, the front one was our ship via porch glider and the back porch was our treasure hunt or new planet to explore, lol.
Funny, I wrote about the trunk and found this blog. I tried to share two other sites-they didn't work. I went back to link credit to where it is due and saw her blog title! Whoa...
Another fun Z craft is Zentangles. My friend
Isn't this one a dream!
I had fun doing A-Z challenge, sometimes it was a true challenge! I am glad I participated. Next year, I might do poetry, since April is national poetry month~
I am making flowers for my daughter's Prom this Friday, a Las Vegas theme. They are playing games for a Flat Screen TV-wow, proms have changed-huh?! So, I won't be taking a blogging break just yet... I am looking forward to May!

We didn't have that option at my prom!
Four years of the Challenge now - and we'll rock next year's as well, Ella.
And I've had more than one nightmare in my lifetime that felt so real, I could feel some one touching me and smell certain odors.
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
Yarn is good for lots of things, but zippers seem to be the new thing in fashion, but your ideas clearly beat the usual.
Lovely posts, so glad I could get here to enjoy most of them. Thanks for stopping by mine!
Poetry next year would be wonderful.
L.Diane-I hear you! I think I once crocheted the longest single chain ever and tried to make a mitten for me and it fit my Dad, lol. Yes, Poetry and photos ;D Thanks for all you did being part of the team-You did really well co hosting and had a fab theme! Thank you for all you did! :D
Wanda-I know right! Yes, Proms today are like three of the ones I had-whoa...
Yolanda-Oh, how wonderful! Yes you should try again-so maybe wonderful patterns and you could knit wool and felt it into cool creations! I know I agree zippers are on everything! Awe, thank you~
I so enjoyed your challenge~ I wish I had done different. I guess I felt I had to prove I was an artist. I am a poet, wanna be writer, but always wanted to be an artist. I visit other artists, but not many come my way(because of the writing?!) Artist share art, writers write, poets poe...lol
I am so happy we met and shared~
Before your challenge I saw this on TV:
