Wow! It’s been a very busy, yet productive week. This week because I had the entire house to myself, I decided I would clean out the spare room and try to get my home office/craft room all in order. It took me all week to do it, but I am finally moved in. Of course the room isn’t exactly the way I want it to be, but it sure is better than sitting at my kitchen table.

So, today I plan on putting the finishing touches on my room. I still have to sort through a lot of things and put up some pictures and my spoon collection. But all that will come in time. I’m just so happy that I got as far as I did with it this week! When I finally get it looking the way I want it to, I’ll be sure to take some pictures and come back in and post the final results.

So after my amazing discovery of my plastic canvas supplies, I decided to clean out more of my craft bins to see what other treasures I may find. Actually my motivation is a little more complicated than that. I have lost a very important CD and I need to find it. For some reason I’m thinking it got mixed up with all my craft supplies and that is why I need to go through each and every item.

Yes, it will be fun looking at all my craft supplies and dreaming what I can create with them. But I do in fact have a more important purpose on this mission. I need to find that CD. So…wish me luck!!

For the past couple of months, I really haven’t been doing a whole lot of crafting. I kind of lost the crafting fever, but I think it’s back again!

It’s amazing how these things happen now isn’t it?? Yesterday I was cleaning out my room and I came across some of my plastic canvas supplies. I haven’t made anything with plastic canvas in years, but when I did do them I really enjoyed creating things out of plastic canvas. A couple of months ago I downloaded a couple of patterns for bath sets but kind of put them away and forgot about them. But with finding all my supplies yesterday I have decided this is something that I want to do now. It’s different then what I have been doing and it’s an easy craft to do. So when I finally get these sets made I’ll post the pictures and they will be another thing to add to my selling inventory.

Yeah! It didn’t take me six months to get me back in the groove.

Ever since I started creating jewelry almost a year ago, I have never been able to figure out how to make earrings. I have tried and tried to make them, but have not had any success. I have even watched tutorials on the Internet and this hasn’t helped me either. Well today I stopped into the new bead store that just opened up and was talking to the owner. After I had made a few purchases she then offered to help me out with anything I may need in the future. So I took a chance and asked her to explain to me the easiest way to make earrings. Not only did she explain the process to me, but she showed me how to make an earring right on the spot. After watching her make the earring, I am feeling more confident about being able to make earrings for my jewelry sets. So later on today (or tomorrow) I’m going to try to make a pair of earrings the way she showed me.

Wish me luck! Hopefully I’ll be able to post that I’ve mastered the art of making earrings and be able to post pictures of my finished products.
