Currently working on...

Altered journal outside. I'm thinking I might use this to do some scrapbook pages of me when I was younger. I used a piece of a skirt I found at Goodwill to make the cover. Below is the inside of the above. And the little lace doilie with beads and a butterfly will be going on the outside.

Some pages in one of my art journals. Have done much more than this with it though.

Also working on Baby Shower stuff but I can't post pics yet, cause then Char will see the pics on the computer and find out what I am doing lol

So many ideas have been going on in my head lately and I just can't find the time or energy to do them all :(

Till next time, God Bless.

lace, ribbon and beads

When you have those 3 things this is what you come up with :) There are 4 more that I have to take pics of, but I think these are so dang cute. Can't wait to wear one of them.

Crafting mojo has returned

With planning Chars baby shower (she doesn't read my blogs so I can post it here lol) I want to make a banner like the one above that says Welcome Harmonii. 
Then while finding embellishments for the banner I came up with another project using lace and beads. Along with pages in my art journal, onesies to decorate for Harmonii, and album for Harmonii, swap projects :) I would have to say that my mojo has returned. Thank you Lord for giving me this creative outlet. 
Off to enjoy some peace and quiet before Dale gets up for school, Char gets up for work training, and my walk to the bread store.
Have a good one all.

Craftroom redo #2

I was given a new desk :) So I had to move things around yet again. I am also getting a set of wire shelves to go over the desk area :) Just have to wait for them to be installed. 

One of my current projects along with Dale's home project for school.
Nothing much else going on in the craft room lately since I was just rearranging again but hopefully today since I will have the apt. to myself, I will get some stuff done.

This is what happens when I get bored....

My crafting area goes from looking like this to...

this...

I still have some work to do but for now it will stay this way. Now I just need a desk chair.

A Messy Desk and a new project

This is what my desk looks like at the moment. I dug out the embroidery thread I had on hand to start a few new projects. One of which is in the picture below. I found the link to the pattern, ages ago on Elsie's blog http://www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com/. It was a free pattern on flickr (sorry can't get link to work for me). I have had this white sweatshirt forever, the zipper is broke, the cuffs are all messed up BUT I love that sweatshirt. So, I decided to give it some work lol I'm going to embroider the design on the back and then use embroidery thread to fix the cuffs.

I also have a t-shirt that got stained when #1 daughter dyed her hair. I drew my own design on that and will also do some embroidery on it. So, hopefully soon I will have finished photos to share.
That is if I can ever finish the baby shower invites lol (they are amongst the mess on the desk).
