Hmmmm.....

I am noticing a pattern here. I seem to post about once a week. I keep trying to post more often, but life just keeps getting in the way. Today, for instance, I have a sick girl, and a 14 year old. Then there is appeasing the neighbor (ughh..., but I still did it) and various other dramas that pop up.

I did sit down and get some work done. I made a fun little window hanger thingy for the girls room. And I have been making cuffs like crazy. I am making sets of cuffs with little pins and making them into gift sets. Fun, cute and functional.

Lets see... I haven't really had time to do any other writing. And to tell the truth, I have been so bogged down by things around here, that I haven't had the desire to do much creatively. I am still working on a 52projects project. I am taking each year of my life and writing down a memory, and trying to add a photo. Each year has its own index card and tells any memory. I love this idea because I can apply the same principle to everyone in the family and expand as needed. It can be used for as many memories as I want.

And, finally, Happy St. Patty's Day to you all.

I think it might be snowing again!

I just peeked out the livingroom window and it looks like snow. This concerns me, as the kids are supposed to go back to school tomorrow. School tends to get canceled at two flakes. I am so trying to find my zen place right now.

Today was Boo's birthday. 14!!!! We went out to dinner, but that was about it. He plans on going paintballing this coming weekend. I think the fact that school is starting tomorrow is taking the fun out it.

I spent today scrapbooking and sewing. I am fiddling with quilting. I have tons of scraps and the same number of ideas. I will see where this path takes me. I did make a darling cuff. And nearly finished it. And then I pulled a totally stupid thing. I put the snaps on wrong. Now it won't close. Easily fixable, and on the list of things to do tomorrow.

I am still sick!!

I think that says it all. I have been drifting in and out of a waking conciousness all day. Little bit is sick on the couch, and that is kinda pathetic. I have three days to get us all well before school starts again.

I did spend the day making cards. I hadn't replenished my stock for at least one year. I made some that I am actually very pleased with. The bird motif is big with me right now. And I seem to recall spending a summer in Baker sketching birds and horses. But I don't think that any of those turned out so cute.

I did make another cuff last night. It was based on a shirt I had seen out shopping yesterday. I am trying to get the spring/summer stuff really ready to go. I keep posting, but haven't gotten any bites yet. However it is definatly something that I know will take off in time. I am sure these are ready to sell.

I will post pics as soon as I can

Jan 3rd

I can't think of a clever title for todays entry. I and I need to post and run. Boo is having a friend stay over and they will comondere my computer.

I would like to show off what I made today. (Keeping in mind that I am still pretty sick and have been in a fog all day) I am very proud of this because I hand sketched everything. Sketching is something that I am very nervous about. I have been forcing myself to sketch 10 to 15 minutes every day. Anyway, this bangle/cuff/whatever is the result of my work this morning. I love it and think it might be my favorite so far.
