My anxiety has been alittle high this week so I decided I won't be going anywhere this weekend.

🖤

My sister and I will be sitting here in our Pajamas, snuggling kitties, watching spooky movies, doing face masks and crafting.

👻

First craft of the weekend:

I needle felted these cute little ghosties and put them in jars.

Is it fall yet? Maybe if I put on a sweater, light a candle and turn the air down to 68° I can pretend. Haha 🤣

What are your weekend plans?

Sounds like an excellent weekend ! I love your needle felted ghosties👻I made a felted mouse once at a craft workshop , and loved it,bought stuff to do at home, but I found that the fibres irritated my asthma so had to stop. Maybe I could try again and wear a mask. I love crafting , it's so therapeutic. I particularly love cross stitch, knitting, and making greeting cards. I've got a huge stash of materials, always buying new ones but never using them lol.

We're half way through the weekend here in the UK- it's so hot at the moment I will probably relax with music and a book.

Oh no! Yes maybe a mask! I really love it it's such a therapeutic craft and so fun! I love anything I can do with my hands ill try any craft! Love it!

Buying the materials and not using them is part of the crafting therapy! Lol 🤣

Yes I enjoyed it very much.I'm really into anything with thread or fabric . I was also going to try ceramics and go to classes, until covid put a stop to that. I must look and see if they've started again.

You and your sister are doing one of my favorite low keyed activities and that'sarts and crafts. Enjoy your day

I just picked up a Monopoly miniature board game for 2. The big board

takes too long to play.

Waiting for my daughter, ordering a pizza and then it will be game night lol xx

Agora I live for arts and crafts! It's so calming!

Your night sounds so fun! When ever I play monopoly with my sister it gets heated she likes to try and buy every space before someone else.. or buy 1 of each set of spaces so you can have a full set... brat. Haha

I hope you guys have fun! ❤️

How long does it take to finish your game of monopoly? I always felt like it took forever

Agora1 in reply toDolphin14

You're right Dolphin, a regular game of Monopoly seems like forever.I'm hoping the travel size will be different. Unfortunately, we didn't get

to it last night. Got caught up in QVC's Christmas in July lol xx

I would think so. I'm not sure I could even hold something that small to work on. Time and patience and the results are adorable.

OMG how did you make that little ghost? My girlfriend would love that. She’s so in the fall mood right now.

stellina04 profile image
stellina04 in reply toAdamj

Adam I am so ready for fall too! Ypur girlfriend sounds like she's got the right idea! Haha

It's called needle felting. You buy this look felt in a bag and you tear pieces off and use the needle to punch it into shape.

Then I just had jars laying around

😊

Just youtube it! She would love it and it's not expensive.

That is so freaking cute that I nearly made a cute noise (please don't tell anyone). I'm a sucker for cute/spooky, fall and cooler temps, I wholeheartedly support this pretending

stellina04 in reply toEndUser13

Love spooky and fall season. I am always warm and I love when it's chilly I wish it was 68° or cooler all year lol and thanks! He was fun to make!

Off topic but..

Is it contradictory to love spooky things scary movies and true crime documentaries when you have Health Anxiety? I guess I'm weird. Haha my sister just said that to me..

your kind a of a contradiction she says... i mean yeah i guess. 🤣😂

EndUser13 profile image
EndUser13 in reply tostellina04

Yeah, I've thought that before... like why the heck am I watching ANOTHER scary movie!? I would take this as a compliment, it means you are sturdy and not a simple thing, you are a complex creature.

No jump-scares though please, those are just cheap.

stellina04 profile image
stellina04 in reply toEndUser13

I can handle like (a) jump scare but but not many agreed they are cheep! Also no gore, i do not like super creepy and gory junk blah that's not my jam.

I guess your right that could be a compliment! Haha

EndUser13 profile image
EndUser13 in reply tostellina04

I meant it in a good sense... I'll trade you jump-scares for your gore, and things will work out.

One of the things I like about horror movies are usually the beginnings when everything seems so tame and perfect

stellina04 profile image
stellina04 in reply toEndUser13

Sold! I'll take your jump scares haha

I like the cheesy scary movies too like Urban Legend and The Faculty.

Yeah it's always nice and peaceful in the beginning.

EndUser13 profile image
EndUser13 in reply tostellina04

Oh yes, cheesy stuff is very important as well. I'm glad we could come to an arrangement, i had to stop watching a couple of movies that leaned too heavily on jump-scares *cringes*

stellina04 profile image
stellina04 in reply toEndUser13

I totally agree!

I feel that I have a few movies on my list that I just won't watch lol

Right? I just wanted pajamas and crafts! Haha ❤️

These are so cute. Tiny. Is it hard to make such small things?

I had game weekend with my granddaughter. She's 11, we are very competitive. She makes up her own words for Boggle and Scrabble. I have to constantly google lol

stellina04 in reply toDolphin14

It was slightly harder since they were so small but not too hard.

My niece is staying over. My weekend of lazy and crafting was interruped by an impromptu sleep over. She's annoyed by her younger sister and needed "alone time" haha she's 13

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply tostellina04

Ohhhhhh..... Alone time with her Auntie. That is so special. Lol... an annoyed teenager you say??? Never heard of that hahaha.

I can't wait to see more of your crafts.

🐬

stellina04 profile image
stellina04 in reply toDolphin14

Right? I've never heard of an annoyed teenager either. She will text me every week like... I'm bored I hate being home it's lame.

Then when she comes over she's bored here haha 🙄 I guess being bored at my house is better then being bored with your little sister around.

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply tostellina04

Haha....oh those teenagers. Very unique yet so predictable. I bet she had no desire to craft either.

Not sure why this is underlined. I apologize for that

🐬

stellina04 profile image
stellina04 in reply toDolphin14

None whatsoever. Haha

She didn't want to craft, she doesn't like music, she didn't want to watch anything I suggested... she just wanted to sit on tiktok and watch scary movies.. lol

Not a hobby in the world

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply tostellina04

She sounds right on target for a teen hahaBut, no music?? That's unusual.

I guess TikTok now qualifies as a hobby :) :)

❤️🐬

stellina04 profile image
stellina04 in reply toDolphin14

Apparently yeah TikTok is totally a hobby. Lol

No music is weird right? Idk haha
