  • “Mama did you know this whole drawer is full of Tuesday sized papers and cards?!?!?”

    Dang I knew she’d figure that out eventually. At least she didn’t open the one on left full of tiny things and sharp things!

    Drawer fun

  • Oh man am I ever in denile about how quickly Cheistmas is coming! I am trying to squeeze in little projects but I am sick. Ugh and sick of being sick! I powered through a whole box of Kleenex in 24 hours – go me! Since I had my christmas paper crafting goods out for the daily album (that sadly did not make my list of must fo projects) I decided to whip up some tags. I really like the tabs turned alien creature ones. Because this is a mobile entry I can’t add another picture to it, but if I could I would show you how Tuesday decided to “help” me by demolishing my card drawer. Time for more baby proofing! Oh and I edited this in Photoshop mobile, a cool free app. Hope you are all getting things done in time, and having fun doing it!

    Denile

  • So things are a little crazy around here. Husband with staples in head, daughter with the croup (it's getting better thanks for the well wishes), and now me with a sore throat, stuffy nose, cough… dare I say it? A cold! All this has not stopped me from working on ordering supplies for lots of Christmas crafting. First off True Up had a felt week and I just had to get some yummy part wool felt. I decided to try two different sellers to see what I liked.

    That lovely stack is from Giant Dwarf and it's 20-35% wool. 

    121009-12

    These are from Lit'l Brown Bird and are 60% wool. I'm not crazy about the packaging on the latter. I also got their color card, you know for all the wool crafting I'm sure to do:

    Of course that's not all the wool in this house, oh no. I still have fiber clubs coming to me:

    Hello Yarn Fiber Club

    Southern Cross Fibre Club

    Now, never mind that Bj has banished my wheel to the basement since he thought it was getting dusty. 

    And in case you didn't know there is going to be a new yarn shop in town called Teaslewick Wools (cutest name ever right?). The propitiator just happens to be my neighbor and friend. I am in so much trouble people. Now the baby is sleeping so should I sleep or craft? I think I might have to sleep, but hopefully crafting is in the very near future. Or I might just be making a bunch of IOUs!
