Back to SCHOOL!

Yesterday school FINALLY started here in Michigan!  

apparently it was exhausting...

(I know-striped socks, striped leggings?-it was fine with the shoes on!)

With the start of school comes the ever important question...WHAT DO I DO FIRST!!!???

Finish my Darling's quilt?

 Finish the family quilt?

 learn how to use this, the Lexus of sewing/embroidery machines? (that I do NOT deserve to own!)

 I NEED to learn how to use the above so i can make something from this book!!!!!

 Embellish, sort, and put these pages into albums?

 and these....

 Re-paint my desk...school bus yellow!  I know, I know... I JUST painted it off white!!

 Finish painting my bench before it gets put away for the....gulp, WINTER!?

 learn this bad boy?

get started on my bedroom wall stencil? re-paint my gumball machine? start painting some of the stock piled canvas's i have? re-pot my plants?  

Seriously, I have so much stuff to do, I don't know where to start!! Have you got any projects started? Anything you need to finish but just don't want to?  I did get my front and side door painted this weekend! I have got to finish the trim and then I'll post pictures!!

Have a great day!! and check out the baby hat drive tab at the top!!!

Starting AND Finishing...

I am beginning to see some light at the end of my psychotic cleaning cession! I have gone through boxes and bags and totes and shelves and closets and cleared out stuff that hasn't been used in YEARS.  Of course, I am no dummy, I realize what this means... I will NEED something I've donated or thrown out-it ALWAYS happens to us crafty gals!  Seriously, how much can one person (or 3 in our case) keep??  Much to the surprise of everyone that knew me before the age of 20, I keep a clean house, a tidy house, a super-picked-up-neat-as-a-pin house and although I keep my clutter in my studio, I can only take so much! Today -MONDAY- I will FINISH and by "finish" I mean get the guest room/sewing room (no, I can't sew) picked up also!  This weekend I did take a bit of a break.  I fixed a bed skirt that had a tear for about 10 months and has been hanging over a chair in my guest/sewing room, I fixed the seat of Darlings America Girl Stroller (also a tear in the fabric)

 and... I finished the Twinkie Chan Cupcake scarf I've been crocheting for Darling!

(don't bother clicking to look inside, you did, didn't ya?)

See Darlings pictures in the background...Isn't she CUTE??!! I took those picture of her a few months after coming home from China, she was probably about 14 months old... Oh do I miss those baby days!!  She was a great baby: quiet, obedient and 100% potty trained by 18 months! I know...I got the golden ticket with this sweetie!

Here's a sneak peak of my studio

I haven't seen this much counter space since I moved in!  Yes, that's glue, gunk, and paint on the counter... The Mister is less than thrilled!

Ok, off to finish my project!

Happy  Monday!!
