the little things

June 27, 2011 Leave a Comment

Sometimes life gets too crazy for the big projects around the house that are left to be done and I can't commit the time to work on a full scale craft projects. When that happens, I try to keep busy with the little things. It makes me feel like I'm actually accomplishing something even if I only have 5 minutes here and there. Last week was finals weeks for me in grad school so everything else took a back seat. When I needed a sanity break from studying I worked on a few of these to keep me … [Read more...]

One of my friends fell in love with this Fourth of July wreath and was inspired to make one for the upcoming holiday. She thinks she is not crafty and asked me to help her make it.

Crafty time project overload. That addicting little thing called Pinterest, is filling my brain with all sorts of wonderful crafty ideas I want to do. Problem is I can't seem to find the time to do them all. I end up making weekly daydreaming stops at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Michaels' to stock up but I haven't managed to finish anything.

spring craft room cleaning

June 10, 2011 3 Comments

I guess it really should be summer cleaning since it is in the 90s out. Whatever the case, the time to get organized has arrived. I've admitted I might have a slight problem with Target and various craft stores. Due to my shopping habit the craft room closet was looking a little shabby with all my recent purchases. I have all this wonderful space to store things and had great intentions to keep everything perfectly organized true to my OCD tendencies. As is the case when there are too many … [Read more...]
