Starting to Craft

Things have been tooo busy for me lately.

Hubby went to Iowa to take care of his dad after heart surgery, everything went well and now he is back home.

I am making some baby quilts, 1 for my niece and 1 for my to be grandchild (sex unknown).

I had to make 120 little indians for a friend's mother, she is 91 and she provides all the little hand outs for all the senior citizens.

Trying to winn the mega lottery, so I can quit my job, pay off bills and then there are 5 of us that want to open a crafting sewing embroidery and wood craft making store that would include classes.

Not Doing Much Crafting at the Moment

Sorry everyone- I haven't been doing much crafting lately.
You know a full time job, busy with a wedding, taking care of my son's dog,  going to another wedding, doing yard work now that's it quit raining, painting  the deck all the things that get done on the weekend.

Hopefully my husband will start working some Saturdays so I can have some ME time, I so badly need it.

I bought a new desk to load up my embroidery machine on with all kinds of little drawers to hide all my stuff in. Hopefully will be getting that next weekend.

Went to the flea market on Sunday and got some cartridges for my E2 can't wait to get into those.

Got family out in Iowa that are worried about being flooded out, some live in S. Sioux City NE, my daughter lives in Council Bluffs, IA, ( right near the Missouri River), some in Dakota Dunes, SD, they have the greatest chance of all to be flooded.

So things have been CRAZY lately. BEAR WITH ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Sorry for not Posting a Project

Hey Guys,

Really sorry that I haven'f posted a project.

Since spring if finally here and we are trying to do stuff in between the rain.

I have cut out facepiece bags for my local fire department that they have ordered and I need to get them finished, because they really need them.

Working on small retaining fences for our river rock around our yard.

Took the day off Friday, not to spend in the craft room-but to paint the deck-have 1.5 days with no rain. Had to get it painted due to concrete going to be laid for the hot tub.

I want to make some canisters using the large plastic containers that coffee comes in from Sam's- gonna paint them alternating colors and make stencils from my new E2, that my wonderful husband got me (some friends twisted his arm). I am gonna paint them with the plastic spray paint  in Deep Blue and an Off White. I was thinking of alternating from the blue and white. Using the opposite color for the lettering. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?.

Have food carriers made to post. Hot potatoe cookers for the microwave (love this)

Hope full I can put something up later this weekend. 

Editing

Just a note!

I posted my photos Sunday night after completing my projects and was in a hurry.

As you can see some of the picturers are not upright--I have figured out how to edit them so from now on they will be upright.

Sorry if I caused any sore necks!!

Love to All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
