Thank You @catsandbooks for #ShowAndTellTuesday ☺️👍🏼🎨💝.

Made this from recycled and upcycled materials.

This is a pricetag from a Peter Rabbit plush. The front has a splendid image of Peter Rabbit, but the back had the product information and the barcode box.

This is made from a material that allowed me to sand off the wording and barcode.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal I then doodled in a planter box, and wrote in a few words:

“Library“

“Beatrix Potter“

And a Peter Rabbit qoute, “Even the smallest ones can change the world!“

I had some extra yarn left over from my mom's shoulder shawl, which I attached and braided.

☺️✍️🐇🔖💖.

Thank You @catsandbooks for #ShowAndTellTuesday 🥳🎨💝.

I'm no expert. I just freehand without a pattern. Crochet this shoulder shawl as a Christmas gift for my Mom. I used two colors of cotton yarn and two crochet hook sizes ☺️💝.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal Started now with making more gifts that are handmade since I am refusing to support the 1% with these high tariff prices. Also there are stores I don't even feel safe going shopping at because of the barbarian agents...my mom and I are even being harassed by prejudice customers everytime we venture out and about.

The good thing is that I'm a crafter, therefore I'm stocked and this means no shopping needed.

Homemade With Love by a Native American ✊🏼😉🧶💝.

Thank You @catsandbooks for #ShowAndTellTuesday and for the tag 🥳🎨💝.

Made this tonight, from upcycled materials.

Saved the foil seal from baking powder and transformed it into a Batman bookmark 🦇🔖📚 by cutting out design, using double-sided tape to attach to a drawing I doodled, and attaching a string that I had saved from a previous project.

These make good ornaments. Just be sure to be cautious in case the foil is sharp.

☺️🎨🦇💝.

I made this quickly-crafted bookmark today 🦇💝...decorative tape, paper, and marker 🪄🔖😉.

This character qoute defines how my mom and I feel right now.

We're frightened FOR our county, state, & country. We are terrified FOR wildlife and Mother Nature. We are horrified FOR girls, Children, and women. We fear FOR our Californians, both born and immigrant. We are worried FOR our Indigenous Americans being mistakenly targeted by ICE.

👇

AnnCrystal But we ourselves are not frightened, we are infuriated about what is happening.

Every morning and evening we turn to our Catholic God. We relinquish to Him our anger and feel like He gifts us Hope in return.

We believe that this turns our fury into fuel.

My mom has her outlets, and Litsy has become mine.

Thank you Littens for your patience with my posts. I will always be thankful that I was met with such kindness and understanding here 😘📚💝

Although this is based on a real life event, I didn't give real life details...I wanted to capture the sum of the scene.

I've caught the news coverage twice, and believe it was a Jacaranda that the poor woman held onto.

If a Jacaranda, it's strangely symbolic. Legend has said that this tree was blessed by a Goddess.

This Legend is in the next comment.

Then following the legend, there is an All Creator prayer. Creators Ancient and modern.

👇

AnnCrystal From the Webs

One Amazonian Legend tells about a beautiful bird named Mitu who landed on a jacaranda tree, carrying a lovely Goddess of the moon. She came to live among villagers and share Her knowledge and ethics.

When ready to leave, She adorned the Jacaranda with beautiful blooms so that every time the tree blooms, Her teachings will be remembered. She than returned to the sky worlds to be with Her soul mate, the Son of the Sun.

AnnCrystal Let us Pray to the Creators of all people, asking the Creators to protect the Freedom of The United States Of America and the Rights and the Liberty of All Citizens of this Great Nation.

For the Nations of the World, that America will help them to Achieve Or Maintain Peace, Freedom, Justice, and Prosperity.

For the United States President, that he/she will be Guided to Act Wisely for the Common Good.
3mo
AnnCrystal For those Elected to Serve Us, that they will Respect Our Liberties and Defend the Rights of the Unborn, the Aged, the Poor, and Racial Minorities.

Creators of all people, may you hear our cries and Grant these Prayers we make for Our Beloved Nation.

Meet Hoss, a pencil fairy I made from a little pencil. Sits on a pencil sharpener rocking chair from Ponderosa Ranch.

Miss visiting the Ponderosa Ranch in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA. Such a fun, beautiful place. My family's, yearly vacation place when I was a child. We loved the breakfast hayride with eggs, sausage, etc. And the lake view 😍🌲🐎🌲💝💝💝.
