Day 13

I promise I do more than just craft everyday with that said I just have to share pictures of a V-day wreath I made today. I was having problems finding something to put on the front door that wasn't just one of those hearts with the shiny metallicy stuff so I seen a couple on other blogs that were cute so I decided to combine a couple of things to make one that was perfect for me. For under $10 I made this adorable fabric, tulle, ribbon wreath.

 

 

Day 12

 think cleaning out my craft room has re-energized me to craft more. I started this project yesterday night after Rees went to bed and woke up this morning wanting to get it finished so I loaded Rees man up and we headed to Huntington to hit all the craft stores to get the finishing touches. I gotta say I was unsure about how it would go (the shopping trip) but he was phenomenally good. We hit AC Moore, Micheals and Hobby Lobby and he was such a little darling. I found all kind of treasures to add to my collection including the perfect frame for my project. I made a patchwork memo board out of charm fabric pieces. It turned out so cute! I have an addiction to beautiful fabrics but I really don't sew a whole lot so any chance I get to do a quick project that show cases my fabrics I give it a go. This was the perfect fit. If you want to give it a try HERE is the link to Moda's bake shop. They have some amazing FREE projects on their site.

Since I am enjoying my embroidery machine so much right now I threw my initials on the board too LOL!

Day 11

I know I talk a lot about our kitten, Bo but he is just such a character it's hard not to share his antics. He is an attention crazed cat (but aren't they all?) he will go to incredible lengths to get my attention. Like yesterday he decides to climb on the sewing machine while I'm using it. Then last night he jumped off this little table directly onto my shoulder just because there was no other way to get on me. And this is today's attempt to keep 100% of my focus on him...

Everyone keep  Bo in your thoughts he will be losing his claws tomorrow. Bad for him but great for Rees and my leather couch :)

Day 10

I woke up feeling crafty this morning so I started digging through my fabric and found a great little one day project, a blanket for my little man. It has the cutest fabrics and it is very boyish so he should love it. I cut all the fabric and snapped a few pics or course then I started to sew it together and thought wow this is going so smoothly that I should try to use my new embroidery unit and put his name on it. Well after a couple hours I did get his name on it and it did turn out really cute, but my little project turned into a four hour project after all was said and done, nonetheless I had fun and I think Rees is going to love it. Great day. I even got to edit my pictures I took of my project, I can't go a day without some type of photography :)

day 9

I have to say I am really enjoying this surplus of snow we have right now. Rees is loving it too. We had a nice quiet day today. I worked this morning and Mat and Rees did their "men" thing and then we had dinner in town as a family and came home and played in play doh. What more could you want out of a Saturday :)

Day 8

Snow? Dang we sure got a lot of it. It has been a terrible day in our house. I have bent over backwards to entertain my little man today, but all he wants to do it make it out the front door to play in the snow. If it wasn't 18 degrees outside I would love to be out playing in it but, a 20 month old can't understand that logic. So here are a few pictures that represent how our day has gone.

 

 

 

Day 7

I can't believe we're already a week into the New Year, that's so bizarre. I have lots of projects on my "to-do" list for 2010 and I just checked my first one off this morning. I finally got my craft room organized and set up a little better than before. I have had this room for five years, and it's my pride and joy. This is were I spend most of my time when Rees is napping. It has gotten over run with those things I pick up just because they're a good deal and I have no where else to put them so they end up in there, and all the pictures I print of Rees but then don't hang on the wall and tons of other junk. One thing that I didn't move was my favorite project that I made a couple years ago. These create letters inspire me every time I look at them.

I just realized what a horrible picture that is...sorry :(
