Hey There!

Well, I've been busy crafting, and not very busy updating my blog with my newest creations. I'm going to take the easy way out and plop all the pictures right here on this one post. Be sure to check out and "like" www.facebook.com/TheCraftyApple .... that's my Facebook page. I update it more regularly than this blog.

Fall Wreath

I've been busy. :) But man, do I love crafting! I'm still recovering from my ACL tear, and getting back to a normal life. I'll have surgery in a couple months, but for now, I'm enjoying my time doing what I love.

OH ACL

6 weeks ago I fell and blew out my ACL. You know, like those athletes do? I am a certainly not even close to an athlete, I'm a momma. I'm a crafter. I'm a crafty momma who was simply walking to the track for some football and track fun with the family.

Then it happened. Completely hyper-extended my left knee, tore my ACL and I was down.

It took 4 weeks to be able to get back to the craft room comfortably. I'm now 6 weeks into the injury, and have a long way to go still, but am happy to report I can craft again! Just not sit criss cross applesauce like I used to. My left leg doesn't go, 'yo.

Anyway, I'm back up and running (Mentally, not physically. I wish!) and turning out crafts at a pretty steady rate. Only because I have my first festival this weekend. ;-)

Let me know if you want or need something! Christmas isn't far away! :)
