Every so often inspiration strikes and I suddenly decide that I must make a bunch of sparkly felt crowns, or cut up close to almost every t-shirt in the house for a rug. I used to do it with my kids, but nowadays, let’s face it, when I feel like making shiny things, I am on my own. Sometimes, my friends will let me borrow their kids for crafting. Generally, I am a slightly nutty woman with scissors and a glue gun.
