The Tree is up!

Well the ornament mobile is up. As usual I just made and didn't measure, so I got a little irritated with it after a while. And I don't think I have enough ornaments on it - but I can add later this week.



This is how it is hanging from the ceiling.



 




Looking up from under the mobile.



This is my work stocking I made at the begining of the week. I like it...it's me.



'Tis the Season to be Creative

So on my list: Christmas stockings for me (one for work) and Jax and Jess are getting NEW YORK GIANTS stockings made as soon as the fabric gets here.

So Jim and I have talked a bit about the tree situation...I want a new one, I don't want to spend a lot of dinero - but it has to be unique. Well as tradition goes at my grandfathers house...the cast net.

So I was in search for unique trees...came up with a few on the Internet. And I just still cannot see myself spending the money. I came across this site not, martha and this will be the winner. So I am setting myself to by the list of items I need and I will post the picture this week because it will take me some time.

But of course I will put my spin on it.

No this is not Post Wedding Blues...

So in less than a week I have come to realize I have a lack of "things" to do. I spent weeks running around, finishing up wedding projects, painting a guest room (and even decorating it), baking a monstous cake...and now I technically have NOTHING.

I have enjoyed my quiet in the house in the morning and made myself a 6 month get out of debt plan, which is totally realistic [Debt is not that bad - I just want to be able to afford a new car in August].
I also researched dressmaking classes, and was politely shot down by a local woman who teaches who said that I was beyond beginner. (hello! But I want to learn and I was going to pay you.)

So I have decided to start making christmas presents. But first an awesome Christmas Stocking to hang at work [Over the month we are stuffing stockings this year in our work area].

A little something for me...

So my dear friend Jess is trying to get me to venture out and show some stuff that I having been making. 

Today I decided to make something small for myself - so I would stop wanting to keep everything I make.

 

A small clutch to parade tonight when I meet up with all my friends :)

Re-used Fabric AND A new Room!

Getting back in to the swing of things...and getting settled into a new room.
We decided to switch the small and medium size room, so I could have more room to play. I can actually roll around all over the room now and watch TV...weeeeeeeeeeeee
