WOYWW

Late posting my pics today. We have gotten slammed by a lovely (insert sarcastic tone) snow storm here and well I was busy shoveling earlier.
But anyway here are the pics of my desk that I took this morning.

 Stood a big farther back this time. I have so much going on and it all has ended up on the desk.

 Closeup. Still working on yoyo's, baby's teddy bear, haha have my nail polish sitting there too. Hopefully by next wednesday nothing will be on there lol Well, not these projects anyway.

Since I did a swing the last two times I decided to go to the left and down a bit. The left underneath of my desk is where I store all my paper. Top shelf is 8.5x11 and 6x6. Bottom is 12x12. In the milk crate is my stash of magazines, it is full to the brim and HEAVY!!! The jeans sitting in the pile are going to be made into skirts (well, I hope so anyway lol).
Well that is about it for today. Be sure to pop on over to Miss Julia's (our ever faithful WOYWW leader) page to see the rest of our desks :)

Keeping busy

When lil one was born my sister sent flowers, this cute plastic flower bowl is what is left lol Well, I needed something prettier to store my loose flowers in :) so, I added 2 rows of lace, beading and stick some miscellaneous flowers together to make a big pretty one.

 And wahla a totally new and cute flower storage :)

 I am attempting to make a mini-skirt out of a very long skirt I bought at the local Goodwill a couple years ago. Have it all pinned, I just need to find time to sit at the machine and get to it.

 I decided that lil one needed a handmade stuffed bear :) My mom made all her grandkids monkey dolls, I'm not that patient lol! So, I'm making this. Will post pics when it is done.

 Just had to share the card we made at Stamp Club on friday night :) I think it is so cute. Alas, it is not staying here with me, it will be buzzing off soon to someone special :)

Well we have snow in the forecast from today till friday so I won't be outside much. Plan on staying in where it is warm and toasty :) Will be back soon with pics of finished projects and who knows what else.
Have a good one all :)

A few more journal pages

These are some more of the older ones I have done. I had planned on doing some work in there this weekend but well I never got to it. I'm basically learning as I go lol I don't know alot of techniques and I am still trying to conquer my fear of being messy haha. But I am getting there.
Well back to sewing yoyo's for my curtains because although I really like them, they blend into the walls and need a little something extra.
Kiddos go back to school tomorrow so I am hoping I have a little more "me" time to work on my projects.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Art Journal pages and a card

Trying my hand at art journalling again. The next 2 photos are of my newest pages. I'm trying to learn that I can be MESSY!! and not everything has to be neat and orderly haha

 Here is a card I whipped up this afternoon (took me a whole 10 minutes lol) for my Stamp Club meeting tomorrow night. Yes, I usually wait till the last minute.

 Two of my older art journal pages. I have more to show but didn't want to overload the page.

 **Note here-- I cannot draw for the life of me haha but on this one I decided to try LOL I do NOT like how my self portrait drawing came out.

Two posts in one day LOL Can't promise that will happen again soon LOL
Re: Sam's comment from yesterday's curtain post-- If I could fly over to the UK to do your lettering I would :)  I so want to go for a vaca there. My UK followers (and of course the lovely Dyan) have inspired me so much and everyone is just so nice, I would love to meet each and every one of you :)
Off to create something else lol

Thank you :)

Had to pop in real quick to say Thank you for the comments yesterday. I'm kinda not used to it so I was a bit overwhelmed :)
Yes, Miss Julia I do have longish hair lol Down to past my brazier line. And the paper roll is from a friend of mine. I use it on my desk so I don't make a mess lol
Paula Gale, yes haha I have a big stamp collection. Now if I would actually use them maybe they wouldn't be a "collection" haha.
I'm workin on getting better at commenting on other's blogs. (insert sheepish smile) Sometimes I just don't know what to say and don't want to sound lame lol
Hope everyone has a good day.

 Remnants of curtain decorating :) and the pile of books was on the right side but had to move them last night when I was looking for something haha

 I swung to the right this time. Stamp pads, stamp storage and well just a big old mess.

3rd and final curtain. Next, I will post a pic of them hung up on the windows. My cousin asked me if I had used a template to do the letters and I said no, I did it all on my own lol The flowers (minus the leaves) are an Ali Edwards stamp. I had bought a set of her big foam stamps and finally have started using them.
Off to move some stuff around in here so I can get curtains hung.
****Edited to add photo of curtains hung up****

 :( excuse the mess as I am still rearranging things.

Latest project :)

 Watch out, now that I have begun to use the sewing machine, I think I will be sewing alot more. Decided the windows in the craft room needed some sprucing up. Dug through my stash of material and started on them over the weekend. A few days of sewing, a few days of painting. Yes, you read that right painting.

 And this is what I have so far. I have one left to do (will be done today). I love how they are coming out. I have made curtains before but usually it is just find the material, pin it and then sew. This time it was find the material, liner included, take my time, and measure so they are all the same length, and sew.

 I have also been making yoyo's. I am thinking of adding some to the curtains, not sure yet. They are so easy to make.

Just a quick project update. Will be back when curtains are done.
Have a good one.
