Happy February

Hello. I can't believe it has been a week already since I last posted. It seemed like every time I was going to come back and do it, something came up. Oh, well. You all know how that is. I have been busy with several projects in the last week. First, after seeing all the wonderful pictures of your beautiful, well organized, peaceful, relaxing "blog spaces", I looked around mine and went YUCK!!!! So I started in on organizing. I took all of my Create and Decorate-there were alot of them--and tore out the patterns that I really loved and filed them all by month. This freed up one entire filing cabinet drawer. Plus now I know exactly where to look. It might even be fun to look for patterns now. Plus, I shouldn't get too sidetracked.



After going through all of the other patterns I had and filing them under their respective season and/or craft type, I moved on to the scrapbook supplies. I sorted what I didn't want and will take them to church when we have our scrap days and see if anyone else would like them. I took all of the paper I had and put it into an old tool box that I picked up at a garage sale this summer. I fits perfectly under my crafting table and takes up less space than my previous storage solution-a rubbermaid container. Plus it looks way more prim. Then I added a crock beside my table to use as a trash can. Again, better than the old yucky can I had that was a misfit from another room. Once I get my room the way I would like, I will post some pictures. I hope the picture of the tool box doesn't show up more than once. I was having a little trouble with the adding photo feature!!


The next project I finally finished was the dance signs in my girls' rooms. DH hung them for us last night. They turned out pretty well. I will never again attempt a project like this. It did not go smoothly at all. All I can say is they are done!!! I used lettering from Uppercase Living, frames from Michaels, and duckcloth for the backing. The top one has black letters and frame with duckcloth that I painted white. The bottom one has chocolate brown letters, white frame, and the duckcloth in the natural color.

I also finished one of the stitcheries I was working on. I am in the process of painting the frame now and will post when it's done. I now have some homework to do. Linda from Behind My Red Door assigned me the letter B to list things that I love. I have really had to do some thinking. My next post will feature these items. There are actually alot more than what I thought.

Thanks for taking time to stop by. I truly appreciate it. Have a wonderful evening and take care.

Sorry for the long gap at the end of this post. Don't know what I did wrong.
