I did it!

Ackkkkkkkkkk!!!!! I did it, I finished something!
Amazing.... I know.....LOL

Its been awhile since my fingers touched fabric. Im happy. Find them here if you like:)

Be back soon.

Lost In Space

yep, thats where Ive been alright! Im back and Im still alive! I have missed all you ladies so much, hopefully I have survived the worst of it all & am on my way to a calmer life order. So apparently Im now a framer. And I dont mean construction. Framer as in "art framing" . Who would have thought I would have ended up in the frameshop? Its really fun, mega pressure but fun! I wanted to show you a few of my favorite things I have purchased at Michaels since I started. Wow what a roller coaster! So this is a couple things I got with my 40% discount. This collage frame above, so loving it!
Arent these cute, the herb pots? Im so not a plastic plant kinda girl.....but these....how adorable?? And they look so real.
The other exciting thing I bought was a "crop-a-dile". If you do any sorta papercrafts , you probably know what i mean! Its a 8 way punch & setter in one hand tool & I love it. You can punch holes easy through huge thicknesses of paper, cardstock, you can even punch through plastic and thin metal tins! Here I punched through a sticky note pad to get a ring through.
these are little "breast cancer" awareness sticky note pads giftys. Attach them to a purse or keychain...whatever. They are 2.95 in my shop. they have a breast cancer logo on back all in pink & aqua. I would love to find some white note pads but for now all I can find is yellow.
I also managed to list a bunch of great aprons and some vintage sheet music, since its been sooooooo long since an update. Must really clean this neglected house today so gotta run. I do have some redwork in process to show you soon ... cant wait for the finished result.

~cheers~

Hot Water bottle Cozies

Hi guys.....Wow this will be quick, Im so pooped! Just stopped in for a quick sec to say hi, this working life is a blast but alot of organizing & mental strain with 3 kids. Anyways , its sure different being a working mom, other than my regular stay at home self I have been for years. I do miss the freedom at home. Man , I used to get alot done, now I dont even have the energy to enter the craft room doors, & if I do I stare around blank -like-What do I do in here? Haha. But thats Ok, its going to be so much fun when all the trucks arrive this week with all the Micheals products, then I will be drooling! Right now we are just setting up all the shelving, and plan-o-graming the isles ect...you know the boring part.


Oh yeah & these are some cozies I made a while back to cover my hot water bottles. They are coming in super handy when you have a tummy ache or cramps. Very super soft. Anyways I cant wait for this snow to melt so I can enjoy some nature walks with the kids. Have a great week everyone~

Better

things are looking up...

Im so excited! We are getting a huge Micheals finally in our town & Im going to be working there!! I just had to share my new with all you guys! Im so pumped! Especially for 25% off!!

Yippee. I have no idea how Im going to go from A SAHM to a full time job, so please bear with me. Crafting might be slim for the next while. This is going to be a huge change to put my son in childcare, especially because he is partially deaf.

Im curious to know if you guys are mostly at home or if you go out of the home to work?

Ive been making some cute tea bag mini giftys for anyone purchasing from the shop until they run out. I had fun making these with the orgami paper my Japanese student brought back from Japan for me:)

What to see a sweet tutorial?

Im going to try to make a couple of these paper easter baskets for my kids, if your looking for a fun easter/spring crafty project! She has made a great tutorial, thank you Laura!

Have a great week girlies~

The White Stuff & A Felt Picnic.....

O.K., so Im dreaming. I noticed there were a few fellow bloggers, complaining about the snow. So you guys must either be feeling sympathy or envy for me (Grama, the ultimate snow loving queen) right now..... this...... Is MADDNESS I say! This is the view from my patio door.
Oh yes, Thats my poor husband TRYING to shovel 3 feet of snow that came in 24 hours! You cant even make a path...its time for a plow truck i think!! LOL. Cozy days these are.

Somebody would like to show off his "big boy" underwear. Even though he's not ready to pody train, I let him put his bigboy undies over his diaper to make his feel special, he thought it was wonderful. It didnt help with the pody training unfourtunatly. We can dream big cant we?

Like spring....and green grass......and picnics. Oh yes, bring it on!

This isnt a "new" creation but a felt picnic set I made last year, so I thought I would share. Maybe to brighten my own spirit. The snow is extremely beautiful though isn't it? So to all you ladies with bulbs popping out of the ground.....may I come over for tea?

Glitter & Grunge Update

Im Sad. No Im Ok really and actually its great because this month Ive been really procrastinating and had nothing ready for the glitter update....Here's the quilt I made for a possible design project for a book call out. But...It didnt get picked. Thats O.K., cause I love it & I can offer up for sale as of March 1st in my glitter & grunge shop! Its made with vintage red gingham & an old beautiful tablecloth i cut up and hand appliqued on in a running stick. All the top embroidery is done by hand, and the back is a soft grey pure virgin brushed wool. Definetly for the Modern Baby.

Isnt the tablecloth part great? Its all done in turquoise & red & grey. Oh well, moving on....
Here's the little note card set I made for the update too. In its own little box. There are 6 coordinating cards that stand up in the little box. I left the cards blank inside to make them more flexible. Thank you all for the lovely comments lately, Im enjoying so many more blogs now, and you all are a fantastic group of ladies out there! Time to get real-laundry to fold, dishes to do, toys to pick up, snow to shovel, homework & studying to be done, playdough to pick off the floor......

Have a great weekend you all- and Bean your package is on it's way!
