10: My Work Space (i.e. the kitchen)

We have a small apartment so I've taken over a corner of the kitchen for all my crafts stuff. That's not everything though- I'm sure I drive my husband crazy. Our closet floor is taken over by 4 bins of fabric, finished items are in a bin in the hallway (I use a white sheet to cover the bin and take photos of the items cuz I get good light there), and felt and beads are hidden under the end table in the living room. lol

Silly Semi-formal BabyWear

I'm really excited about these new onsies I've been making!
So far I only have the Orange Polka Dot Tie listed on Etsy but I will get more up soon!

Way back at my baby shower for Diesel I had everyone decorate onsies for him. It was so much fun! So anyway, been cleaning house like crazy lately (post-partum nesting lol) and I found some plain onsies so voila!

Tomorrow I am going to the thrift store and hopefully I will find some more. Also want to find some more high heels to paint!

I am having a great time on maternity leave. I've made so many new items for my online shop and it's just nice to be able to slow down and really just enjoy the small things~ like waking up anytime, well Diesel sorta dictates that, but still! I don't have a set schedule, I get to decide what I want to do each and every day.

I could get used to this...

8: Treasury

I made an awesome treasury on Etsy! Check it out here!
I think my treasury does a fitting job showing the bleak silver skies of winter and the hopeful blues of spring to come...

Plaid! Plaid! Plaid!

My dear friend Sue asked me to make a tote bag for her daughter! I had made one for Sue's birthday and apparently Alyssa was trying to snatch it lol and she wasn't about to have that- she's looking forward to using it on her trip to Arizona!

(I unfortunately never got a picture of the tote I made for Sue but it's similar to the Lady Pearl tote on my Etsy)

Alyssa, who's in the fourth grade, is very big into designing her own outfits, purses, and jewerly so I was asked to make a tote as close to one that Alyssa had designed! FUN!! I can't tell you how awesome it was to make this! I think it shows in the bag!

In other news: We are getting ready to move in with my in-laws (I'm mostly excited! but a little nervous too lol)

The plan is to save up to buy a house! My in-laws are great for helping us make this happen much faster then if we were to continue renting. Needless to say, I'm very grateful for this opportunity! So anyway, we've been packing, organizing, cleaning.. BLAH! But I was so excited when I found this ottoman!

It's perfect! The kids can crawl all over it, Stefan can use it to put his feet up AND it holds all of my yarn, croteching looms, and handstitching supplies perfectly!!

This is the outfit I was wearing today! I realized I must've looked kinda crazy with all the PLAID! It's pretty obvious that I adore plaid- plaid headband from the Dollar Tree hehe, plaid jacket from Maurices, and the plaid purse made by moi!
