Chaos in the Mind

  (photo from photobucket)
I'm sorry that i have posted! i've been so stressed, and I just haven't been in the mood to blog. I'm trying to be zen about my blogging and use it as a way to relax and reach out.

My current Project list (just to let you in on my crazy chaos)
  •  Start up my Inspire Book (It started as frustration..[details one day Dx])
  • finish my tshirt throw (i think im gonna end this project Because its become a chore)
  • blog at least once a week. (as a zen, not a chore)
  • love Crafypod!! i mean you all should love it too!!
  • Make a hobo- styled bag from 1 fat quarter cotton + recycled "re-use" bags from grocery store! (current attempt)
  • And a lot of other things I can't think off!
 MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU TODAY!!!
  1. What do you do with whose re-usable grocery bags, that's not traditional?!
  2. Have you gotten crafty-overload?! what did you do to heal yourself?!
Well, i'm off to tackle the HOBO!!! (bag of coarse)
happy Almost-Spring everyone,

"Seams" like a Sewing Day

This baby is my amazing Heavy Duty singer =), i find myself drooling at the photo. I'm crazy about it!
 
I got this first, first to what you ask? I purchased this machine on my "big ideas, handy chick" list,  which was created just for the handy girl in me.(I'll update on other purchases in later posts) =)

For now I'm just saving up money for fabric, notions, etc. I've used the beautiful internet to get me creative tutorials, but nothing compares to holding patterns, so! I get Sew Easy at my local Joann's =) and i look for fun purse patterns, etc.!

Lately I've had this odd draw to Good Will and other Thrift stores! so maybe i'll find some cute graphic tees & sweatshirts to use in my projects!!

MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU TODAY:
Are you a Handy-Chick/ or Handy-Man? Whats your favorite tool?
Do you find yourself drawn to Thrift Stores? What's your reason?

LOVE ALWAYS,

A little Tea with my milk and sugar

I spend a majority of my time sipping on my Red Rose Tea in the morning.
Collecting these little guys has become a mini-hobby in itself. Though these are only three of my collection because I've miss placed the others *uh-oh*.

Lately, i've found myself on this very site and a few of my other favorites such as:
While sipping my lovely tea and hoping one day i could become a great and well known blogger!

MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU:
 What do you find yourself doing when sipping on your morning drink?
Are you willing to share other sites that are fun and creative for me to explore?  

Love,
