My new baby

She isn't pretty but to me she is the best :) The cabinet is in super shape too :). Now if I can just figure out how to follow a pattern I will be all set lol I know how to sew curtains, blankets, pillows and well that is about it. I have a pattern that I picked up at the thrift store for a sundress and well I want to make it, I just don't know how :( Guess, I should have paid attention in Home Ec class lol
I am in the process of trying to organize some of my craft stuff to make room for the new baby haha Man, I have ALOT of stuff and it seems that no matter how much I go through, weed out and throw away, I still have ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back to organizing (someones got to do it lol)

woohoo :) Happy Monday.

I am one happy crafter today. I'm getting a sewing machine, thanks to my local ReUseIt group :) It might not be new but I am still happy. All it needs is a new light bulb which is not a problem. Can't wait to dig through my stash of material and start sewing again :) 

Trying to get back to crafting

This card is about the only crafting I have done lately :( I'm trying, I really am but seems my muse has taken a vacation again. Can't say I blame her cause man is it cold here lol I am in the process of gathering materials to bring along for a Scrapbook Retreat Weekend. My cousin and I are going along with her sister-in-law. I figured it would be the perfect time to get going on Harmonii's album.

Ok off to search the web for some inspiration :)

Have a blessed day.

New Shelving installed

Well yesterday was spent putting up adjustable wire shelving and reorganizing some of my craft supplies :)  Still have more to organize, but at least I made a start :) And yes I do realize I have ALOT of stuff lol Still on my no buying anything new for 2010 except adhesives and my monthly SU stamp club commitment :)
Here's to a better, more creative, inspired 2010.

Busy Holiday Season

I have been super busy working on projects and trying to get the house decorated. Along with the usual household stuff and dr's appts and all the normal everyday stuff.

If you are looking for great inspiration check out Ten Two Studios.http://countdown.tentwostudios.com/ Lisa has graciously added lovely images to download. Can't wait to use these on my Christmas pages. Thank you for sharing Lisa.

I hope to have some pics soon of my latest projects. I have been making them but not taking pics :( I get so excited that they are done, then start another one and forget to take a pic.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season and getting lots of Christmas crafts done.

Todays thoughts

I needed to come here and post some thoughts that have been going through my mind today. 


Last night I received news that a dear, sweet friend had passed away. I texted my best friend (a coworker and friend of his (more so than I)) to tell her, if she needed my help with anything at all, to call me. Later came the phone call, asking me to make a commemorative plaque per say to hang over the kitchen door at the Crossroads Cafe`. Why?? Because I am the crafty one of us friends. So, now I embark on a journey to make a plaque in memory of a very special man, and I am so, so nervous. I will put my heart in it though and it will be special and my way of helping his memory to live on in the hearts of everyone he touched.

***edited 12/18/09*** This is what I came up with for the plaque. I just need to put a hanger on the back and a few coats of polyurethane. Then it will be delivered to the Crossroads where it will hang for hopefully many years to come.

Busy day of crafting

Well, I spent most of the day either on the computer or at my desk. It felt so good to create something again.

Tag inspired by http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/11/the-12-tags-of-christmasday-1.html I might not have all the fun stuff Tim has but I like the way this came out.
And got some work done on my December Daily album inspired by Ali Edwards

Day 1- minus pic. I'm not able to print out pics every day so I am going to accumulate them in a folder and have them printed next month.
Back to crafting. Have a good night all.
