This Is Us

I have been doing a lot more crocheting. I really enjoy it. It’s therapeutic, relaxing, and it makes me feel great when I’ve completed a project. I’ve made several things, but yesterday I completed another hot pad. This time I attached a loop so it can be hung from a hook. I’ve been thinking of selling them, but I don’t think anyone would buy them. Anyway… here it is!

My nails are simple this time. I just did a mustard yellow and an Orange with a dot of red sparkles. I used this  Nail Tool  to make the dots. Then I used the matte top coat. Simple and easy, but I like them. Not my favorite, but I like them.

  The sun last night was red. I know it’s because of the smoke from the fires, but it was really pretty. Isn’t it wonderful that even when there are bad things happening, there is still beauty and something to be thankful for? What are you grateful for today? These pictures do not do it justice. We may or may not have gotten honked at when we stopped at the light to take a picture. 🤣🤫

For my last set of summer nails I did a peach and turquoise color. Then used this  Nail Tool  to make the cute paw 🐾 prints. I used the shiny top coat for my thumb, pointer, and middle fingers. Then I used the matte top coat on my ring and pinky fingers. They are again plain, but I think they are cute!

I had everyone’s kindergarten pictures. So I decided to put them together in a collage and share it. I think it’s so cute! I used the LiveCollage app. It’s my favorite! No, I didn’t buy it, I just use the free stuff.

  I went kinda plain this time. I used my light pink sparkles and then used this  Nail Tool  that I got from the dollar store to paint the white tips. So simple, but I feel they are so pretty!

  For the first part of August I decided on doing different shades of purple. For my thumbs and pinkies I did a light purple with a glossy top coat on my thumb and a matte top coat on my pinkie. My pointer and middle fingers I did a dark purple/plum with a lavender (almost pink) abstract lines. For the lines I used this  Nail Tool . My pointer fingers I did a matte top coat and my middle fingers I did a glossy top coat. My ring finger I did the dark purple/plum and put light pink sparkles on top. Then put a glossy top coat on. What do you think?
