The Wigglebutt Blog

Apparently I only come  here occasionally to dust off the cobwebs. Well, it is March. More specifically, it is St Patrick's Day. That's not even why I'm here.  I know ... random.😏 I'm here to post a bunch of pictures of stuff I have been doing since the first of the year. I've mentioned before that I do post pics more regularly on Facebook . If you would care to click the ever so convenient link to my page and give it a like you would see stuff a lot more often😉 Ok...... here we go! I'm really enjoying making these!

This one took far too long to wrap because I kept  over thinking the bail. I finally convinced myself to just start doing something - anything and if I didn't like it I could just start over, not that big a deal. Once the pendant was done the rest came together pretty quickly. Still not feeling as creative as I would like,  but I'm moving in the right direction. I can do this!☺
