What is this????

Put simply----TOOLS!!!!!!!! to start my New Year  --Crafting!!! 

 And this is my first try--------- I am either going to coer this armature in cloth or clay!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 And ---THIS --- is--my BLUBEAR--- from my  wonderful friend  Kai---Oh so much work!!and soooo beautiful---She may be blue --- but she made  it a "golden" day for me--- Thanks soooo much Kaidoodle!!Like I always tell Kai---I only WISH I could crochet and I adore crochet--but  not a talent I  possess--or should I say quite frankly--ever possess--LOL!!

And this is another birthday (and get going crafting again my friend /wish) from Elena...Sooooooooo after much moping and groping for Ideas and such----I pulled out some tools and have at least attempted a start-I also  ordered a project from Jessica  Hamilton and she included a Bongo (birthday gift)  of another project---  Thanks Jessica!!!So now I have  those two projects and my  CP from Brazil and some Fofuchia materials laid out---my wire armature--boy is that a disaster...I use to be able to wrap wire with such ease!! Now I am lost without  "tools"!! Any way--Heres to a New Year Ladies----May it be  healthy-- happy and CREATIVE!!!!!!!!!!
