With all the moving this year, all of my crafting stuff (scrapbooking, sewing and general making or re-making of things) has been packed and almost forgotten. I have missed it. I purposefully dug out and kept all of my crafting boxes so I could do it again when we moved in here. It's all here and most of it is out, I just haven't done anything....until now that it is.
The last few weeks I just haven't been feeling myself so I decided to do something about it. I started getting up early to jog (we'll see how long that one lasts), and I started making things again. I made some super cute bows/flowers for my princess, some ties for the boys and some really cute belts for all of the kids. Oh, and a dress for Abbi and I re-purposed a pretty cute tee for her as well. Oh yeah, and today I helped Abbi sew a good sized quilt for Ethan. This was all since last Thursday....I haven't done anything in so long, I am really gung-ho. And they all turned out so cute.
I am so excited to be doing all this stuff again. I really need to get some scrapbooking done too. Isaac has half a first page in his.
This all turned out to be really great timing. My eldest son decided it would be cool to color all over the bunk beds in his room. Of course, these are the bunk beds that made it ALL the way from my childhood mostly unscathed, until Jake. And of course, he didn't pick the washable markers or the color wonder markers, both of which we have a bazillion, he chooses the one that we have that doesn't come off. And also, of course, it took a lot of restraint on my part, to let him live. So......good timing, you see, because I am going to have to refinish some bunk beds soon.
PS I should have pictures of ALL of this, but I don't. My camera had a fatal accident. Hopefully it is fixed or replaced soon so I can visually document all of the wonderous happenings in my life once more.
