It is that time of year when the outdoor birds are back! Here are some tips to help the birds in your area!<br />
1. Provide bird feeders and suet cakes. That way you attract a variety of birds. Woodpeckers love the suet cakes!<br />
2. Hang your bird feeders up high enough so cats and dogs can't get the birds! You don't want to just provide bait. lol<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><br />3. Provide bird houses for nesting but again hang out of the way of dogs and cats.<br />4. After hard rains check and make sure the bird seed hasn't gotten wet because it will mold. If it has remove it and get fresh.<br />5. Provide a bird bath and keep the water fresh.<br />6. If possible turn off outdoor lights at night. This is because night time flying birds can become disorientated and fly into windows.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
and my last tip (I used to run a parrot rescue) has to do with your pet birds. DO NOT take them outside without a harness or being in a cage. If even a slight breeze comes along they can fly away because they don't fly directionally by flapping but by air currents. So if a breeze catches them they may not even mean to go but off they go. The most common thing I heard was "Well it never happened before" and my response was - it only takes once.<br />

Now I have all the parts but ears & scales done. I'm looking forward to completing them cause I think they are going to be really cute! But ACCK & HORROR I can't find the purple one's head! Now a dragon can be scary but without a head it might be worse! I shall search & I'm sure it shall be found!</div>

Did you know that there is a headless Dinosaur sculpture in Brookside, FL? August Herwede was inspired by the 1964 NY World's Fair Dinoland to create it in 1967. Unfortunately he did at the age of 80 before it could be completed.</div>

In this post I'm going to talk about what is good for baby and toddler projects. <br />
<br />
I like to use acrylic but you have to realize a lot of acrylic is stiff at first so there are 2 ways to get around this. The skein without label can be put in a lingerie bag (tube type) tied tight and washed or when you are done with the project wash it in cold water with fabric softener and put it through the dryer on low heat. The latter is my preference. I also use <a href="http://www.lionbrand.com/babysoft-yarn.html" target="_blank">Lion Brand Babysoft</a>, <a href="http://www.lionbrand.com/jiffy-yarn.html" target="_blank">Lion Brand Jiffy</a>, <a href="https://www.yarnspirations.com/caron-one-pound-yarn--white/29401010501.html" target="_blank">Caroun One Pound</a> - this is an acrylic yarn but I have found it is softer than others, <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bernat-Baby-Sport-Yarn/21267024" target="_blank">Bernat Baby Sport</a>, <a href="https://www.herrschners.com/product/lion+brand%26%23174-+vanna%27s+choice%26%23174-+yarn.do" target="_blank">Vanna's Choice</a>. Vanna's Choice is 100% acrylic but is super soft. The last type I use is <a href="https://www.marymaxim.com/caron-simply-soft-yarn.html" target="_blank">Simply Soft</a>.<br />
<br />
I do not use 2 types of yarn ever: Wool because baby skin is very sensitive and wool can be itchy and irritating to some. The other is anything like Homespun where the yarn is really fuzzy because we all know how baby's like to put things in their mouth and who wants a mouth full of fuzz.<br />
<br />
Other yarns that you can use for your baby and toddler projects are:<br />
Cotton of any kind<br />
<a href="https://www.joann.com/bernat-baby-blanket-yarn-10.5-oz/zprd_10220564a.html" target="_blank">Bernat Baby Blanket</a><br />
<a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bernat-Softee-Baby-Yarn/21267571" target="_blank">Bernat Softee</a><br />
<a href="http://www.redheart.com/yarn/soft-baby-steps" target="_blank">Redheart Baby Steps</a><br />
According to Knit Like a Granny these are the best yarns:<br />
<a href="https://knitlikegranny.com/baby-blanket-yarn/#Baby%20Yarn" target="_blank">Best yarn for Baby</a><br />
<a href="http://www.redheart.com/yarn/gumdrop" target="_blank">Redheart Gumdrop</a><br />
<br />
I'm sure there are more but these are the ones I am familiar with and some can be pricey but my recommendation and the only time I ever get yarn is on sale whether I need it or not. LOL<br />

Here in mid Missouri we went from -2 Wednesday to 65 today, Saturday. There is never any predicting the weather here. It bounces around worse than a super ball. Remember those or am showing my age?<br />
<br />
I am crocheting some cute bunnies for Easter. Did you know that crocheting small animals is called Amigurumi? Amigurumi is Japanese for the "art of crocheting small animals." <br />
<br />
That leads me into a plan I have. I should have first bunny done later this week. What plan to do is have a "Name the Bunny" contest. So I am giving you a heads-up to get some names swirling in your head. Stay tuned. <br />

Hope you are having a great Wednesday. If you are anywhere where the temps are super low (we have gotten up to a whopping 1 degree above zero and of course, it happened, my kitchen pipes froze and I'm diligently trying to get them unfrozen) stay safe and warm. Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer that my pipes don't bust.<br />
<br />
If you are in a frigid temp. stay inside or dress really warmly in layers with no exposed skin because it is very easy to get frostbite. Let your faucets drip so you don't have my problem. Please, please keep your pets inside because they are susceptible to the same issues humans are in this cold. <br />
<br />
If you are in warm weather I am very jealous!<br />
<br />
Stay warm,<br />
Me, Ripley, Sammy & Bailey<br />

<br />
I love to craft - all kinds of crafts! Pinterest is my downfall because I want to try everything. I know some of you can relate. Anyway I have tried to limit myself.<br />
<br />
When I had to leave my job because of my Lupus - any of my long time followers know about that-everyone told me I would be bored. Lol, nothing could be further from the truth. I am always busy and always finding things I want to try.<br />
<br />
I had done craft fairs once in a while and I decided that I wanted to try selling more online. Thus started my journey. <br />
<br />
If you want to check out my items I currently have for sale, I am selling on Amazon and here is the link <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Fun+Funky+n+Cool+Creations&fbclid=IwAR2gwt-zhZ5vwUkg7bd_E0HUjp7IY0duVPXaGxFsont4RpwvMAMUs37bcvA" target="_blank">Fun Funky n Cool Creations</a><br />
<br />
I'm also on Facebook but I really only sell from Amazon. Sometimes I have more content on Facebook and sometimes I have more here. Please come and check me out there and like my page if you want to stay updated on me, crafting and more. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/funfunkyncool/" target="_blank">Fun Funky n Cool Creations on </a><br />

Here are my suggestions for different types of glue and what kind of projects they work on.<br />
<br />
<div class="n_o6jhs3khs s_o6jhr-3mj clearfix" style="background-color: deeppink; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: -1px; zoom: 1;">

<br /></h5>
<div class="_5pcp _5lel _2jyu _232_" data-testid="story-subtitle" id="feed_subtitle_412409195584986:2268701356951202854" style="color: #616770; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">

<div class="_5pbx userContent _3576" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="js_7qj" style="background-color: deeppink; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 6px;">
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_5c4a717da34be8569653558" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<b><div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Ever wonder what kind of glue to use on what kind of project? I do but I've narrowed it down to 6. In all the different type of crafting I do, I can get by with 6. I know there are lots & lots out there that claim all kinds of stuff and that's great. But why have 10 when in most cases these 6 will do? At least they do great for me and I've been crafting for 45 years.. I'm not an expert but I found these work for all the multiple projects I do.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So what are they?<br />
First <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">of course, my hot glue gun. Whether I use the mini or the regular size I use Gorilla Glue hot glue sticks. I find that the Gorilla ones tend once dried are dried extremely tight and things don't pop off and when you are selling crafts you definitely don't want things to 'pop off'.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Second is E 6000 which adheres to almost everything. It does dry somewhat slowly so what I do is when I am using this glue I put a dab of hot glue on too. That way it will hold it in place while the E 6000 dries. BUT do not use on styrofoam as I found out this last Christmas the E 6000 will melt it.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Aleene's Fabric Fusion Quick Dry is what I use on fabric and it works well. It doesn't dry too slowly but I found using clothespins to hold the project in place while it is drying is almost a necessity.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Tacky Glue for all things porous like craft sticks. I was recently making doll furniture out of craft sticks and it was much better than either hot glue or the E6000.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Then we have wood glue. I don't really have a preference in type. I just use it for all projects that are bigger than little doll furniture and are wood.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Last but by no means least is Mod Podge. My all time favorite product for decoupage on glass or wood. There are a variety of finishes, matte, glossy & glitter. They now even make outdoor that withstands water. I love this product and have tried making my own and it works and is cheaper but I don't like it quite as much. The 2 I keep around are matte and glossy.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Of course, always read drying times on the bottles and adhere to them or you might end up starting over. lol, I've been there done that.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I hope this helps some of you out there with questions about glues.<br />

Well, I've been at war with mine. It can't possibly be my fault that I get burned. <br />
<br />
I've been working on Valentine's Day Centerpieces and my glue gun is after me. Really! I think it is! I don't think I'm going to have any finger prints by tomorrow. <br />
<br />
I know that you crafters have experienced this. I even accidentally dropped glue from my gun onto my jeans & it burned me. It hates me.<br />
<br />

These days I usually have a few crafts going at once waiting for paint to dry, glue to dry, etc. Here are a few of the items I am taking with me. <br />
<br />
If anyone is interested in one let me know. I can't guarantee I will have them after 10/6 because apparently this is a super busy event with tons of people coming every year. Rosebud, MO is a small town with lots of antique malls and specialty shops. It is a really cool place.<br />

I have decided I like working with wood and different kinds and colors of paint. I did start a page, so far only one item is listed - Barbie Fireplace. It was a fun project and doesn't every Barbie need a fireplace? It is a one of a kind gift idea - Christmas is coming. I have more furniture for baby dolls to add soon. I hope you like them! <br />

On the bad side the truck I've had for 8 mos blew an engine through no fault of mine according to the mechanic BUT lots of exciting things too.<br />
<br />
Since I have to pay for a motor for the truck and thank heavens for help from my Mom or I wouldn't be getting one, I'm going to close one of my booths I have in shops and try my hand at selling online again. This time, however, I have a good friend who has been doing it for years and years and she is helping me with all kinds of advice and suggestions! I have a good feeling about it and am stoked.<br />
<br />
That being said this blog is going to go through a major overhaul so be patient and check in often to see what's new!<br />
<br />

Just to show you that you should NEVER say Never about anything you want to do or happen. I was convinced that I would be living in the mobile home park that I had my mobile home until I died. I was content and accepted that though I always wanted a yard for my dogs. Well things came to a head when the park took over everyone's water and "averaged" it with mine being about twice what I thought it should be. Sooooo that got me looking around at options. My trailer was old but paid for and had new sub floors so I thought if I could get financing maybe...........<br />
<br />
Well I found an acre, talked to about a bank about a loan to move it and I was sure that neither of these things would be OK'd because my credit rating wasn't that high and you know, those other "lucky" people had things like this happen. Well I was wrong. I did get approved for the loan for moving expenses which were a lot but not as much as I anticipated and I also got approved for the property. YEAH! That's why I say NEVER say Never - go for your dreams, goals whatever. As my Mother has always told me it Never (there is that word again) give up without trying.<br />
Here is my backyard. Grass seed isn't planted yet and I don't have a riding lawnmower but I used my push mower on the brush and got it that far. Then my neighbor told me that when it rains there is a little creek at the point I stopped at and lots of snakes. In my wisdom I decided to stop at that point with the push mower. <br />

There was some complications in the move and some other issues like a major water leak but I have awesome friends who came out built me a deck in the backyard and fixed the water leak. I have lots of work to do on the property including putting up a fence for the dogs but I love it and everyday I look out my windows and can't believe how blessed I am!</div>

Hopefully warm weather will be too. I don't know about your weather but we have had some bitterly cold weather here in the midwest and my electric bill reflects it. I think I almost had a heart attack when I saw it. LOL. I just keep saying soon, soon it will be warmer! Of course, in the St. Louis area that means summers of 100 or so but that's ok. I would take that any day over the cold. <br />
<br />
I've started on spring crafts for my booth. Here are the 2 Valentine's wreaths I've made and I'm getting into dream catchers. I love them. <br />
