Works in Progress

I have been so busy the last few months learning my new job and getting used to my new schedule that I have a lot of works in progress. One thing has to be finished up next weekend though cause it is a birthday present for my sister! Even though I haven't been able to craft as much, I am loving my new job. I have such a blast working with my kids and have so many ideas for things to do with them. The rest of the school year is going to fly by!

Feeling Depressed

Did my taxes today- gotta pay over $1000. I have been trying to put money into savings and it seems like all of my hard work is totally not paying off. It sucks like major whoa...

Scarve Caves!!

I absolutely love my little boxer bear. She is perhaps the cutest boxer in the entire world! Anyways, she loves playing in curtains and in blankets. A couple of weeks ago my sister and I hung an old blanket off the stairwell and the dogs went crazy over it, especially my B-Bear. Sadly, the blanket is so not cute hanging off the stairwell so for the time being we tied all of our long scarves off the individual stair posts. The pups are super excited and it is much cuter. I am hoping to come up with some awesome design that will allow us to keep the cave, but not look tacky in the room. Hopefully a pic up tomorrow of the cave, just cause it is fabulous!

Finally some crafting!!!

A few months ago I lucked out and got a ton of old buttons and a super cute jar at an antique shop. This set of buttons just happened to be among them and I heart them! I knew instantly that I wanted to do something special with these plaid beauties. I decided to make them earrings for now because I will be able to wear them more often than if I put them on a top or something of the like. Not a huge crafting achievement, but a rewarding one none the less!

Loving and Living Life : )

I am so super excited about my new job! It has kept me really busy and I am learning so much. I feel like I might have really found something I love! The only downside is that I am having to get used to working 5 days a week, insted of just 3 or 4. After working and then hitting the gym, I am finding it hard to do any crafting. I normally like to have large chunks of time set aside so that I can start and finish a project at once, I guess I am going to have to learn to do a little bit here and a little bit there. I do have some projects done, but have not had the opportunity to take pictures of them. That is my goal for tomorrow-to take pictures and to post them. : )

Has spring sprung?

Today was so beautiful! The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing and it was in the 60's today! I played outside today as much as possible. My workout buddy and I even moved our workout outside just to get a little more sunshine in. On days like these I don't get too much stuff done in the house because I can't get enough of the sunshine (especially when rain is in the forcast for the next few days.) I do have a couple of crafts up my sleeve, but they are for upcoming birthday presents, so I can't post about them until the presents reach the birthday girls! Last week I did make a cute pair of plaid button earrings so I will be posting those soon.
