Opinions : Audible

I recently signed up for Audible through Amazon, and who doesn't love Amazon? 

It is the best. Anyway when you sign up you get two credits to buy any book. Each book is one credit and you get one every month. It is only $15 a month and most books are $10-$20. 

With the holidays there is a lot of time spent cleaning and wrapping and organizing, plenty of time to listen to a book. 

I love it! Especially as a reader, Audible lets me multi-task while enjoying something I love but don't have a lot of time for. You can also listen offline while on the go so you don't eat up data. 

Check it out!

 Also I didn't make a video this weekend because I've been on holiday. Yay!

Opinions: How to Make it YOUR Space

To piggy back off of another opinion post I was thinking about how I would decorate my new crafting area. And decided to start with some curtains. They are expensive so I decided to use some fabric that I had and instead of sewing hot glued it into curtains. :) Yeah I'm cool like that 

Here is a step by step process. 
Pick a cute fabric. I started with the top, make sure you leave enough room to thread the rod through. Then glue a hem on all four sides. 

I hung some lights up. I like it and it took me 10 minutes.

DIY Felt Fox

My friend's birthday is this weekend so I've been giving her gifts last week and this week. 

So she likes Foxes and I found this really cute fox ornament and decided to make it for my Tutorial weekend. 
I was having some technical difficulties  with my cameras so it ended up being shot by hand which makes it a bit messy. 

Here is the Youtube video. 

Here is a picture of the final product.
 I think it is super cute. 

Opinions : Decorating

I'm getting so excited!
The By J has found a craft studio!
Well I recently got the go ahead to redo an extra room. 

Now I have the chance to decorate a WHOLE studio!!
I am so beyond excited. 


Anyway, my opinion on decorating is this. Do it!
Make your space your very own. Sometimes that is not easy, like painting or new furniture. But somethings you can do. Pillows, curtains, pictures, paintings, sculptures, bonus points if you make something yourself :)

So I have begun the journey of decorating my new space. So off to the store!

Also my opinion on Once Upon A Time is I love it!

Opinions, Crafting, Also I'm Losing My Mind

Oops, someone is so busy she can't even fathom a blog post!

It's me.

This week is fair week! Yay, so all my crafts I've been working on have been submitted and judged. Here are some pictures of the final products. 

The Apron got 3rd, as did the Bicycle, the origami got 2nd, and the Fairy table got 1st. I don't know yet what the decorated baked goods got. 

So I've been volunteering at the fair to check in all the arts and crafts that come in and I am exhausted. I've been working 10-14 hours days and I am done. Thankfully, the long days are over, and all that is left is a couple of 4hr shifts and check out day. 

Also, be kind also. It pays so much. It can be beyond frustrating to be kind, especially to people we don't like or who are nasty. But I should respect and a sense of humor and even kindness to these older ladies volunteering and they showed it back. To me only because everyone else was ignoring them because they were mean and nasty, but they would come up to me and talk and laugh and be funny, then they would go and be rude to people because people were rude to them. 

So be kind, Please and Thank you :)
