still here...passing through...be back soon!

Hello friends! I am still here! I will be back on track soon, very soon. My mom has been visiting here for the last 3 1/2 weeks - all the way from Idaho - and time really just flew by! We also celebrated the birthday of a very special little one - who just turned three! So between planning and executing that special event and Mom and I sewing, baking, fabric shopping and just catching up, well we ran out of time! Tomorrow she leaves. It is always a sad day when she goes, thank goodness for email and blogs, right?

Thanks for all your comments sprinkled throughout the past few weeks. I really, really appreciate your positive thoughts. I will be back in a few days with lots of goodies to share with you.

Smiles till then!

spring housekeeping

Yes, it is that time of year. The snow is slowly melting, the air smells sweet with spring renewal and the days are - finally - longer. I long to open the windows and clean the cobwebs from corners and start fresh, start new.

I started this blog about 5 months ago not really knowing what I was doing, I just knew I wanted to have a blog. Well, it was (and still is) a huge learning curve for me. With the little time I do have, I started out really basic, just getting information on here and moving on to other things. Spring is almost here and I always like to start each new season with a purpose, a mission if you will. So my mission this spring is to spruce up this blog, a new banner, nicer looking sidebars, more interesting things to look at and be inspired by, and even a shop update.

So, stay tuned in the next couple weeks and see what spring brings!

Have a good week friends!

Hello and Welcome!

Hello there, after a year of lurking in the crafty blog world I've decided to start my own. So here I am, welcome! I want to thank all you crafty bloggers for giving me great inspiration, energy, and the motivation that I needed to get myself out of an arts and craft rut I have been in for awhile.

For a while now I have NOT been making things ( I know the horror of it!) And this lifestyle has been really bring me down and making me basically very cranky and not easy to live with (ask my husband!) So, here I am and ready to share with you what I have been up to these day in my creative world.

Also, in the motivated state that I have been in, I have open a gift shop at Etsy to share with you some of the things that I love to make. Stop by and take a look, I hope you like what you see. Many of the things I make I use myself or make for my family. Etsy will be a place for me to share them to you, enjoy!

So, off I go to the studio to create. I have a few hours while my little sweetie sleeps...I must create fast! Have a good day!
