Eyes too big for free time...

I think I tainted my poor sister in-law, sorry Ilisa. She came by so our kidos could play and I gave her a look-see at the recent purchases I made: One yard wonders, Sew Liberated-growing up and Big Little Felt Universe. Now she's addicted! I totally can relate. I thought I was going to have to quite my job with all the projects I was lining up in my head. Now, I've collected my sanity and constructed an organization/prioritized list (I'm a chronic list maker) of the projects on my horizon. I hope to get the first few posted this weekend-I just have to find my camera!

Here we go!

Lately I've been overwhelmed with creative projects for sewing, baking and home decorating so I decided that I'd start a blog, a first for me. My goal is to post once a week in the different hobby sections I've set up. I'm hoping it helps me focus and discipline the creative juices so they stop running into my work life!

What am I working on? The last 6 months have been I've been heavily into cakes-however, I got burned on an unsatisfied customer who bashed my work-a bit of a turn off. So, I switched gears and began making play food for my son and daughter, out of felt. It began with a simple google for more info and I stumbled into this felt universe! I've made a few things (see Felties page) but have high hopes to construct a pantry (toddler size) for the kids.

Also, I bought the book one yard wonders: buyer be ware!!! It's like crack to crafters. There is seriously a project for everysingle person I know in there and more-really does the neighbor's dog really need a christmas gift.

I need an intervention. However, I don't believe my family has an idea of how bad my obsession with crafting has become I have taken it upon myself to intervene with a solution-BLOGGING!

If you're reading this and have no idea who I am- check out my profile for details but to sum it up I'm a mom of a 2.5 yr old boy and 1yr old baby girl, married to a K-9 officer, and work full time for the state as a regulator-hydrogeologist actually-but enough with the boring stuff, let's get crafting!!!
