Getting Settled

I have decided that it is time to get back on track. We are settling in after the move and I have been making an effort to start getting my hobbies back on track. It feels good. This has been a productive weekend for me. I took some time get supplies, took pics of of some vintage items for Etsy including some expertly hand appliqued dinner napkins....a set of 10. That is some serious dedication.
Even got to work on a sweet little something for my man. I hope he likes it. I will post a pick when I am finished.
Time to go, little bit wants me to play doll house.

Date Night

It’s a new day here in Fort Worth and it finally looks like its not going to rain or snow and we may even get to see the sun!

After feeling kinda Blah yesterday, my sweet man took me to dinner and then braved the thrift with me. He even found a great pair of what I like to call Rodney Dangerfield Pants. The little trip really raised my spirits. Thanks dear <3
Most of it will end up on Etsy once I get it cleaned up.


Listed Clockwise are:

Metal Kitchen Roll Dispenser
Diskette Holder
Very Green Chiffon kerchief
Character Pillow Case
Hand Knit Multi Color Ripple Throw
3 ½ yards Mod Vintage Fabric – Poly Cotton Blend …( Love it! )

It’s going to be hard but I have to part with it…..except for maybe the kerchief. I love them!

Time to get back to my coffee and see what kind of work I can get done.

I know it’s been a while. (Not that anyone would notice.) I haven’t forgotten to blog. As a matter of fact, I think about it all of the time. I log in and start a post but often get distracted and never finish it . I can even blog from my phone when I am on the run, but I don’t. To be honest, I wished I blogged more. I have lots to say and plenty to share. The truth is, I feel guilty. Guilty that if I spending time to blog, I really should be spending time on creating. It was what inspired the blog in the first place.

It’s not like I don’t have ideas. I have too many ideas…that is another problem, I have inspiration but little skill. I would like to perfect a skill, but that takes time. Time that just isn’t available. Yeah yeah, I know, if it is something that you want, then you make time for it. And I do….In 20 minute intervals spaced days to weeks apart. It’s sad, I know. I have so little free time with the toddler, boyfriend, job, and friends; all of which I love, that there isn’t much left at the end of the day. I wish I knew how some of you do it. I envy you.

Sure, I could wake up earlier and work on something. That thought has and does cross my mind on a regular basis. When I reluctantly roll out of bed I don’t have much to offer. I go right into auto pilot….coffee, shower, kiddo, breakfast, dressed and the list goes on.
If I am lucky, I get that flash of brilliance, another awesome idea, and then I get to think about it the rest of the morning until I get to the office and add it to craft journal.
That thing is jam packed with ideas, some are planned out, some are just one liners.
I hope that I will get to work on them all.

But I guess only time will tell.
