Restless - #IPPP and Yarn Along

I hear myself say every day for the past week "I'm restless".
I think we all are lately.
We have been missing our other half.
The best remedy is to keep our hands busy to keep our hearts happy and mind occupied. This morning we decided to paint some of our large collection of shells in a assortment of colors. She loves to mix her own. Glitter them up and put them in our fairy garden. Okay that should hopefully take all day. Boom. Done.
 As for me. Busy making these wallets. They are easily gratifying, they only take a day and a half and well I enjoy it. This one I finished yesterday, sold here.
 Here I go pimping my stuff.

Today I started on this one...kind of reminds me of the wicked witch.
***Update: this one below has just been added to my shop here!
What are your hands busy with?
Linking up with Ginny!

    I am in love with those wallets (and your knitting in general)!
    I am hoping for a little bit of downtime this weekend to breathe (and get in touch with you about our joint "promotion")... it's been crazy, I barely have time for my afternoon nap ;)

    Wow the last time I saw knitting like that, was when my scottish grandma would knit fairisle patterns. I thought it was a dying art...but here you are. Pimp away Alma...we should all get to see your fabulous work.

      Oh Elle, thanks for the compliment, I love fairisle patterns. I am so glad it reminded you of that! I love to play with patterns and colors. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

    Isn't it so hard when a member of your family is gone? Everyone feels the absence. But I'm glad you're finding things to do! Those wallets are SO pretty. You're so talented, Alma!
