This blog was originally about keeping a New Year's Resolution about being creative every day. As I plod through my daily trials, the blog has evolved into a way to find and maintain my happiness through crafting and creating.

Mom came up with the button idea and it was genius! Thanks mom! This
was the first one I made, I'll perfect it as I go.

Seriously. I'm in awe of the simplicity of the folds and the final
product. Worth every hour.
Now I am on a mission to find dogwood origami paper that is double
sided. That would be beautiful!

going to let the glue dry for a bit and come back later when my hand
is steady. (Too much caffeine right now...)

kusudama. www.foldingtree.com has a tutorial.
I started the project almost/more than a year ago. I just seemed to
lose interest. Then I saw an awesome on on etsy and decided perhaps I
needed to suck it up and finish mine. Here's the pieces and some of
the flowers. The goal is to finish this weekend, so I'll post the
finished one here.

No crafting or creating took place today. I spent the day with my four favorite people, Mom, Dad, Andrew and Lisa. We celebrated my birthday and went out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. It was an excellent day.

this week.
I also spent some time at Michael's buying craft stuff I didn't need
because there was no one there to stop me. And I had a 20% of
everything coupon. BONUS.

off from crafting to relax and enjoy the day outside.
Lunch with family and then home depot for even more perennials that we
don't need. I also bought strawberries and I'm really excited to watch
them grow. I put them in a window box so Tess won't get to them before
me.
Happy Mother's Day!

of Andrew's crap away. He kills me! How hard is it to put your stuff
away?
And then I cleaned the house and worked on my afghan.

eating apple dippers instead of fries, and buying my hanging ferns for
the front porch. Then I worked in my flower beds weeding them and
preparing them for the new mulch I'm picking up this weekend.
And to finish it all off, I worked on the afghan and added 6 mores rows.
A very satisfying day.

It's my old cookie sheets spray painted in my craft room's accent
color. I decided to repurpose them since I don't have place to hang up
my ideas and inspirations.
Sooooo, instead of throwing them in the recycling bin, I made magnetic
boards for my craft room wall. And I also created a cool space to hang
my smart alec magnets that I bought at the Country Living fair with my
mommy last September.

agents. I made a phone call to the department complaining about having
to "track down" my garbage cans each week down at the end of my street.
This is how I found my garbage cans after trash collection. They
created a much happier client with the simple act of putting the can
back where they found it.
