So busy

I have had pretty much no time to post anything on my blogg........bad bad bad.
I have been crafting, but of course my computer was infected to the max with viruses, so it had to be completely wiped clean.......thanks goodness I decided to back-up my pics before we sent it in!
Now my time is being spent putting back everything I have lost...how time consuming!
I am hoping to be able to post some pics of my latest knitting stuff as I have been buring up the needles trying to amass some inventory for some upcoming bazaars I have tables at!

Hoppy Birthday

Cooking with Cricut has a challenge going on right now. You had to do a birthday themed project, and there was a sketch you could use to get entered into another prize draw. Unfortunately I was not able to use any of my Peachy Keen stamps for this layout, but maybe if I get picked I can use the gift certificate to get some different stamps so I can use them more! Thanks for looking!
I used the Create a Critter cricut cartridge, as well as the Give a Hoot cartridge.
They are sooo cute.
The paper is Me & My Big Ideas value pack from M's and some paper from my stash. :)
I'm also entering this in the Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge.

Still plugging away

Ok, so yet again my intentions are great but have follow-through issues. I have been working on a project every day this week and am hoping that it will be finished tomorrow to post a pic....it is soo cute. Then of course I commit on facebook to give the first 5 people who comment on my status a handmade something. I had to do it because so many of my talented friends were putting it up for offer too.
I have the whole year to do it, but hope it doesn't take me that long just to figure out what to make all of them.
Darn my crafty friends!

UGH!

Why is it that I always have the best intentions to start with?
But can't seem to live up to my own impossible expectations??????
Anyway, it is the 3rd of January and I have crafted every day. I started a pink crocheted elephant yesterday, and have been making great progress considering this is still a learning process for me and the whole running a household, raising 3 kids, and having church meetings.

So maybe I need to give myself a break and remember that I am only 1 person and that I need to finish the things I start, not necessarily finish them the same day.

As a side note, I did do up some quick dividers for my meeting binder ;)

Day 1 of resolution

So far so good! I finished my first project of the year. I had some cotton yarn from my stash, so I knocked out a dishcloth! I'll have to post a pic later, it's not working right now.

New Years Resolution

I know I have made this attempt before, but my resolution is to keep up with my blogging and try to craft through my mass of supplies, paper and yarn related.

My new camera will let me take better pictures, so I need not be embarrassed by the poor photo qualities of future postings.

Oh, and I finnally taught Mena how to knit (sort of), so with her crafting along with me, the stash will be whittled down in no time (I hope).

I will be definately looking to some message boards for motivation and inspiration to keep to this journey, who knows, maybe I'll find some great friendships along the way!

Happy New Year blog land!

Spur of the moment

I was searching around blog-land and stumbled across a challenge site. The challenge was to cut a flamingo with the cricut, but it couldn`t be pink. Since the only cartridge that has a flamingo is Life`s a beach, which I don`t have, I had to design my own on the Gypsy. I don`t think I did too bad of a job for my first design job.
My best friend just had her third baby boy last week, so I`ll give this to her as a surprise!
