Busy, Busy, Busy



I have been crazy busy at camp (do you see a theme here with me, always busy?) and with life.

This weekend my boy is away at sleep away camp for the weekend. It's like a trial weekend with another camp in the camp group I work for/the kids go to.

Very weird. The house has no fighting but Little Miss is talking my ear off.

Anyone want a sweet 6 1/2 year old girl? (Just for the weekend though).

Anyhoo, I have been busy creating.

Here is a little looksie:










The bracelets I made with glass beads, some with a fimo type bead and some with decorative flower/spacer beads on a memory wire.

It reminded me of my grandma and how she used to love making jewelry and I loved making it with her.

The sign was made from wrapping papers that I bought last year in Wisconsin. It is a map of the city of Paris that I ripped then put onto the painted board (I mixed a paint color that I pulled from the map). I stenciled the saying and then applied two coats of RL Smoke Glaze.

Actually more than that done but I am giving the short version I would be more than happy to post a tutorial and probably will next week when I do my next piece that is in the works.

This saying I saw on a blog after a friend told me about it (it may be from the same source but we can't figure that part out). When I did the search to find it for this post I saw that it has been in many places (Domino Magazine to name one).

I am so proud of my accomplishments in these past few weeks.

I look forward to some more creativity flowing from me. I have a few thoughts in the works. And maybe, just maybe I will get some stuff up on Etsy.

Stuck in a Rut



I am dying to be creative.
However, I am stuck
in a rut.

I have ideas in my head
and then won't come out.

Is it my motivation?
Is it laziness?
Not laziness to do the project
but to clean up the stuff that goes with it?

I have a spare room that is used as a playroom
computer room
catch all room.

Maybe, I need to claim some of that as my space?
The kids don't play there,
well with the Wii they do.

I think it's time for a major clean out.
Thursday is Bulk pick up day this week.
You can leave ANYTHING on your curb
and the town will pick it up 3rd Thursday of the month.

My parents cleaned out their basement
asked me to get my stuff out.
That means breaking down Maya's crib.
Sad.

I need to shake it up a bit.
Clean up, Clean out.

I think I will make a
guest room/crafting room.
The kids can play in the basement
that's not finished
for now.

But not today, I have camp.
Time to set up my space.
