Scrap book frame gift and other updates...

Well December and the first half of January has gone by in a whirlwind of activity, family, and a few small bouts of the flu around here, now that life is a little back to normal I will take some time updating you on projects I completed during this time and things I am currently working on.

I did complete a second family frame for my husbands mother and it turned out very well, She loved it, in fact she actually cried when she saw it she liked it so much.


I also finished the Christmas stockings for my second daughter (born 2 weeks before Christmas last year) and my mother in law that spends every other Christmas with us, I had been putting it off for too long!


The stockings are the perfect place to hide the battery packs for the garland.

about 4 years ago when I made my husband and my stockings I sewed about 8 feet of the striped Christmas material that way as people join our family I will be able to crate a new stocking for them that will match although in time I may need to buy slightly different eyelet or backing material they will all have the same fronts. ( I have a thing about wanting all my Christmas things to match my tree needs to have all matching decorations as well.)

I will update with a few more presents I made and other things I have been working on soon.

Hello Again and the Organizing Challenge

Hello Again Everyone It has been a long time since I have taken the time to share my Craftyness with you.  This is not because I have not been crafty but more because I have gotten busy and probably a little lazy also my place is kinda messy and often I feel some tidying needs to be done before I can take pictures to show and then well .... It just kinda falls by the way side. I have decided I am going to try to ease back into doing more crafting and more blogging, and the way I have decided to do this is by taking part in an organizing challenge on one of my favorite Thrifty blogs,  Mrs January.com . and I will try my best to share my results with you here on my blog. I have decided to share this here as one of the biggest obstacle I have when wanting to be crafty is not having an organized and tidy home, to be crafty in, so my hope is that by the end of June I will have a more pleasant place to be crafty and continue to share my craftiness with you.
