stick a fork in me..

ok, so i think i've customized this blog as best as i can, but i think once someone makes better templates for blogger, i'll probably change it again and again.

it's been a fruitful day, a down day where i live, but i went to work anyways and got stuff done and organized into 3 piles: inbox, outbox, and limbo.

and there's so much stuff in limbo.

like all the craft pics i have on my computer and other blog, but now i'm bringing it here!

a little duckie and chick quilt i made for my sister, kat
my little pincushion, i love this print!
a welcome kittie i embroidered ages ago
a baby alien on a rocket
a swallow or sparrow, i wonder what's the difference?
a bento cover, stack em up and cover them, your lunch is your business!
a knit shirt i made and a toile-print pleated skirt
jewelry tack board
it's me!
some earrings i made
restringing my vintage pearls
a japanese teacup pincushion i made for ramona
rodney's going away present and my first attempt at cross-stitching
crayon holders i made for his 3 daughters for the trip
so pretty with cotton, felt and ribbon!
a little baby quilt i made for his wife's, tamika, birthday
today, i finally finished my dinner napkins to go with the placemats!
while i was doing that, i was sipping some cream limoncello, yum!
tiny little sake cups
the cute kittie pins i bought at the steak restaurant, bikeri donkey

yoyo's in a cuptiny tiny tiny pincushion
another pincushion
ahhh, the end of my hard work...
woohoo! 3 day weekend! i'm thinking of running to the fabric store and surprising
mark for his birthday and making replicas of the pillows he's been pining for. i think he'll love it but before i buy anything, i need to make sure the button-holer setting on my sewing machine works. can you believe i've had this machine for 2 years and i've never made a button hole?

hmmm, and i need to invest in a serger...

goodnight!

first thing's first


i've always wanted to start a craft blog, so i finally took the time to "create" one. *whew* i'm gonna have to start pulling my craft stuff from my personal blog to this one, so don't get excited over the changes. i do anticipate changing my blog templates, if not soon, then quite often.

i've had a alot of ideas for things i wanted to make, i wrote them down somewhere, and it's probably lost in the abyss that i call my craft room. yes, i managed to secure my own room for crafting. for me. all i need is a speaker system to hook the ipod and then i'll be set!

i think i'll use this as a shopping blog too, since i'm now obsessed with shopping.
what girl with ovaries isn't?


lastly, i'll try to keep up with this as often as i possibly can. work literally drains my life force, so when i come home from work, i don't want to do anything except vegetate.
and smother myself so i won't have to go to work the next day.


just kidding.
but if you have any questions, comments, concerns, feel free to post a comment.
i'll try not to take criticism too seriously, but no guarantees.
some days, i will have to just slice you. =)

rock on.
