Unpacked... finally.

The new craft room is up and running! I finally bought a bookcase so I could unpack everything. I had my heart set on finding some awesome vintage looking bookcase that I could paint some crazy color but had to settle for IKEA. I had a really hard time finding time to hit the garage sales. I may still try and find something, but at least I can get to all my supplies now. It's not much (and please ignore the few piles), but here it is so far...





My future Father-in-law bought me that sweet ass desk from a retailer that was going out of business. I think it used to sell Levi's or something like that. Either way... it is solid and awesome.

Next step... decorate. I don't know about you, but tan just doesn't scream creativity.

 Peace & Love!

I'm Baaaack!

I'm back and it feels great! Those of you that read this (if you are even out there) will notice that this is my first post. Yeah... that's because I deleted all of the old ones. I became embarrassed when the time between posts stretched from weeks to months to over a year {{hangs head}}.

BUT... I just crafted for the first time in over 6 months. That’s right... 6 months. It was so exciting I thought I should share it with the world :) What’s my excuse you say? Well first I got engaged, then the holidays got in the way, then we moved into a new house, blah blah blah. Boy time flies. I hope to be crafting a lot more now that I have (drum roll please)... my very own craft room! Ahhhhh!!! It isn't even unpacked yet... but I can tell it is going to be awesome.

My first project in the new craft room was a few pairs of earrings for Mom for Mother's Day (sorry Mom if this blew the surprise). I haven't made jewelry since I get my sewing machine... geez that was almost a year and a half ago. Let me tell you... it was amazing. I forgot how much I enjoy making jewelry. Maybe the excitement will continue and I'll re-start my etsy shop.

Anyway... off to wrap Mom's gift :)

Peace & Love!
