It's been a long time!

Wow...I've totally neglected this blog! Lots of exciting and new things happening! Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went and now we are in the year 2010! Unbelievable! For Christmas I had decided to undertake way too many projects and many of them are still unfinished. However, I was able to complete some card designs and made 3 of each and wwrapped them up and gave them as presents. It was really fun! I hope the girls are able to find some use for them. Some of the designs are below:

Mother's Day Weekend II

Happy Mother's Day! The weather today was very nice. We are spoiled by living in this area. Today we spent some time with S's mom. I hope she enjoys the basil plant. This is the card design that I came up with for this weekend...Should I post this one up on Etsy...maybe I should make another one and post both up at the same time?

Working hard

I've recently purchased a self-healing mat and a rotary cutter. So I put them to good use. S wanted something unique to handout to the girls, so we thought 'basketballs' would be cool...made them in school colors and will add initials and numbers to each of them...check out the work in progress on the self-healing mat.

I finished embroidering the numbers on the felt pockets that I am planning on using for the project I am working on. I am thinking of giving the finished product to someone so I think I will keep it on the DL for now...but I may post up pics of it here and there...I've decided embroidering is quite fun, and I keep thinking of ways to use it!

Something Useful

Yesterday after work, I felt like I needed to do something creative. I also wanted to get rid of this pile of newspapers, ads, and magazines just sitting on the kitchen counter. So I grabbed a box that used to hold the skillet, cut a little bit here and there, used a pottery barn bag and some ribbon and ta-da! A nifty little holder.
