Crafty, crafty, crafty

Is it normal that I am sitting here looking at the clock thinking, "I have six hours until I can put Ms. Wiggles down for the night."? It is only noon, she finally went down for a nap. Daddy comes home tomorrow. Mommy needs Daddy to come home tomorrow. I over enjoyed my evenings too myself. I'm not young enough anymore to stay up past midnight consecutive nights in a row. I'm beat... and I still have six more hours.

Staying up late though has given me that much needed time to do something I want to do verses something responsible like taking care of hubby and Ms. Wiggles, the house or even Leo the cat. Something non internet anyway...I'm trying to prove to myself I don't have an internet addiction.

The window is turning out awesome (Don't know what I'm talking about? Come back tomorrow and find out). Ms. Wiggles and I went to Micheals yesterday and raided the dollor ribbon bin. Then we moved on to jewelery making and then on to quilting to find a big needle. I forgot how great that store is. Their dollor section is like heaven and hell all in one; awesome stuff but I never go away spending just a couple bucks, I always get sucked in and over spend. I am now done... pretty much done shoping for Christmas. I think I said that last week when I went to Target when I was under fifty dollors... now I can say atleast I'm under $100. I don't think I like where this is going.

Well, I know where I am going. I need coffee and a hot glue gun. Off to get my crafty on!

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

Image
I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
