5 days and counting...

So its crunch time in our house with everyone trying to get their last minute stuff done before next week; and yet I found time this morning to get up and week the garden and add some new life to it. It still looks a little sad because the flowers need some time to take root but it looks a lot better than it did at 8am this morning. lol. Later this afternoon I am going to go up to the Christmas tree store and look into some garden gnomes or other decorations. Bring even more life to this place since our puppy has seen better days. I was thinking of taking the shovel out but as I live in one of the few towns where it can be 70 today and snow tomorrow....it is going to stay for a few more weeks. lol.
Otherwise this weekends goals are too...1. paint the silver stars on the blue shirt, 2. cut out and sew the red dress. 3. Sew the maroon messenger bag, 4. Sew the John deer blanket, 5. finished packing for the trip, 6. clean my room and bathroom. and lastly 7. highlight my hair. Should be a fun and exciting weekend. At least the garden is already off my list and it is only noon here in our town. I think maybe I should head off and start getting dressed for the day so Zach and I can start with our garden gnomes and lunch. lol.
Keep Smiling!

Broken Hearts....

"In your anger do not sin; When you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent." Psalm 4:4

Lately I feel I have been falling off my path. I know I have mentioned this before because I have felt this way for awhile. But apparently now it is a full fledge feeling and I need to start dealing with it. Surprisingly I was able to talk to someone that I used to work with at the Village the other day and something she said made me realize that I have given up on life because I stopped trusting God with everything. I was doing so good and so happy because I was relaying on Him and I somehow got away from this path. I have been so angry with everything going on in my life that I have been trying to figure out what I did wrong. My family doesnt get me and the other half that does get me I feel like I am letting down. I realized that I am completely alone. Even the guy I am dating would rather spend time with his ex then me on my weekend off although when it comes to the trip we are taking I am the one who is suppose to do all the work...yet again? Why do I always choose men before my own happiness...why do I always choose men who steer me away from God and my path. I started picking my bible up again and reading through Psalms when I came across the verse above. So now I am thinking.... I am really listening to myself and again I have decided to be single. I am still listening to my heart aparently because I am about to cry again and still dont know what I am doing. I think I need to figure out and listen to who I am and what I love and then go from there.

Day 1 of Craft weekend...

Although today is technically day 2 of this craft weekend adventure; I just woke up after staying up past 2 making different types of headbands. lol. I was trying to find some many uses for ribbon that I have (an entire box full) and so last night I broke out the hot glue, the tiny eyes and pom poms and made butterflies to go with some of the headbands that didn't have flowers to match. Here is what I came up with.....

Spare Yarn Project

I keep forgetting to post some of the items that I have made so far out of my spare yarn. The goal is to find a use for all the craft supplies I have in my room so far and so using some of my spare yarn I also made a head band and hat to add to the messenger bag that I made for Amanda. Thankfully for me...my sister had a lot of wig heads laying around so I can model them for you. I hope you like them.

26 days and counting...

4 days later and that helmet looking thing from the previous post now looks like this. Sorry this picture is a little fuzzy but I took it on my cell phone. It is still not finished but I think that at this rate you can see what character we are starting to form....Can you tell? Now Zach and I are trying to figure out ways to make the head more round and get the face to stand out a little better as well as add some teeth and then it is onto sewing all the clothes together; which I really need to get a move on.
I did take some craft time off to put together a messenger bag for Amanda for her birthday. I crocheted the entire thing but I didn't get the change to take a picture before I gave it to her so I'm sorry for the disappointment there. She loved it though and that is all that counts.
Other than that I really don't have a lot of post. I have been working the last few days and it has been a killer on me both physically and emotionally. I need to start finding some way to release the stress via swimming or running again. I'm getting way to stressed at this job. Blah.
Anyways....I guess I am off to craft a little bit and then head into work again for another fun fill night.
Keep Smiling!

30 days and counting...

I really need to get my butt in gear. There is only 30 days until our trip and I have to finish making a head, a suit and a dress.... not to mention find hair. I don't know why I really haven't been in the mood to work on this but I really need to get my butt moving now. Thankfully I have off tomorrow and I have to finish Amanda's birthday present but that is my "night time project" since I don't have to use my machine for anything. I will show everyone that later as well. Anyways...Zach and I have started the head but this is all the further we have so far....

More will come tomorrow and I will work on cutting patterns while Zach is at work....Cant wait to get this done! Ok off to work for now....
