I'm So "ETSY"ITED

Well after months and months of procrastination I have finally listed some stuff on etsy, and I sold something.....so many thanks go out Pastry. I hope you like it.

maybe next year.....

A little while ago the NCM had a workshop on learning how to crochet. I was disappointed that I couldn't go, but that was the night we went to the circus. But I did want them to know that even though I was not there physically, I was there in spirit. So I had this teach yourself crochet book lying around for a while and decided to give it a try.

And me being the adventurist that I am decided that I was going to make a afghan, but not just any afghan probably the hardest one a beginner could make. It's a good thing I have faith in myself. I found this pattern online and modified it a bit (who do I think I am). Maybe next year I will have used up all the stray yarn I have and will have a pretty neat although imperfect afghan to show for all my efforts.

Wish me luck!

what would you do with $100

You could do alot with $100.00, but if you have love of fabric then you would do this.....

that is what $100.00 looks like in fabric. I have to say that it was my love of fabric, my unfortunate impulsivity, and sale fabric at hancocks....what is a girl to do? I better start creating something soon, or my DH will most definately be putting me out...lol!

Saddest Clown on Earth

This weekend we went to the circus. I hadn't been in a long time and while it was different than I remember it was still pretty cool. The focus is less on animals, which is good and more on acrobatics. I must say the Tigers looked a little pissed to be in that cage, and I was prepared to shield the little eyes beside me in the case of total carnage. Overall I think the kids had a great time.

We did however encounter a sad clown.....

He did however perk up by the end of the night.

I never knew how hard it was to take a picture of someone moving...and hanging from a sheet in the air. All in all it was a great night.

The New Year

The New Year brings forth many opportunities for change and growing, and I am feeling more confident than ever in this 2008! I have vowed to make and post at least 1 thing a month. I will keep my etsy shop well stocked (still no camera, so no update). I will de-clutter and simplify my life and home. I will take care of me. I will indulge myself and splurge occasionally on things for me (sorry kids, you have way to much anyway). These are the things I believe I can actually commit to, so here it goes.

Since I am still having camera issues, I leave you with this pic of #1,3, and 4. Please don't look to closely at the mess of the dvd case behind them.

Swap Tease.....

I got my gift from the scss swap today and I just love it. Unfortunately me and my camera are having a disagreement, and by the lack of pics you can tell who's winning. lol. So you will have to just drool over the pics that are over here. All I can say is that I am a lucky girl! Thanks Corry :)

Well there doesnt seem to be much going on here,does it? There was the accident.

but that's been fixed now. What an ordeal for such a little fender bender. Well hopefully my little camera will hold out and there will be a huge mega updated to my etsy shop this weekend-I mean it's only been never that I have updated it. We'll have to wait and see.

I went back to work about 3 months ago, and it seems that when I have a specified time to get things done, more things get done. I wonder if anyone else has come to this realization. There has been crafting going on, just not enough time to photograph it. I promise to be true to my little blog and I vow that I will be a better parent to it for the upcoming new year. I guess that will be my first New Years resolution. Who else is going to take the challenge?
