Successful Shopping = Ideas are exploding

After a trip to Joanns, Hobby Lobby, finally Michaels, all in the same week....I'm exploding and can't get to these great projects fast enough!  Amy Butler has her own SCRAPBOOK paper??????  How could you not be so happy if you have a love for her fabrics?  And LUCKY ME, the pack of 24pages was marked down to $3.99 (that's a low $0.16 per page), so I bought the only 2 packs they had....(hmmm, I need to find another Michael's) 


So I have a few pieces of furniture I've been dying to decoupage, the first being my sewing desk!  WOW, ok, I'm just so excited about that!!!! Speaking of Amy Butler...I just finished making her gumdrop pillow pattern using Olivia The Pig fabrics.


 Being put to good use...as I'd hope'd it be!!!
SO many more fun projects on the agenda...(deep breath), one thing at a time and happy along the way!!!

Because I'm strong-willed, because I want to be more creative, because I'm a DIY girl, because I'm a procrastinator, because I hate unfinished projects, because I love my daughter and now that it's been 10 months since her 5th birthday, I've finally finished her gift, because I'm TRYING to be the mom she thinks that I am and that's 'the best mom in the world'!  Thank you Love for working the math here!  I really needed you and you seemed to be enjoying this. Such great big memories are made under this tent among two little sisters and that makes me happy I completed this project!

2011 Goals

Well, after I purchased my sewing machine 2.5 years ago and reflected on all the things I'd made in that first year, I was pretty surprised at myself!  It's exciting to see all the things I've done and what's even more exciting is knowing all the things I can do just by trying! So for Christmas, my dear sweet thoughtful husband bought me one super large cutting mat so I don't turn our dining table into chips for the fireplace, nice new scissors, an Amy Butler gumdrop pillow pattern, Stitch magazine and more!   My goal???   (Wow, this is going to be fun) SEWING: Birthday Blanket for big girl Gumdrop pillow (or 2, or 3) Pillow cushions for the children's chairs Garment Bags Girls slippers Nephew a Dream on the Go pillow Circles table runner Myself a skirt or two the girls a dress (maybe a few) my handsome boy a little tie NON SEWING: Mod Podge wall art for our room Paint a few toy boxes and make cushions for the top Cover the girls headboard AND all of the sp...
