Spring Break Time!

Hi everyone!  It's Spring Break time around here, so I have the kids home with me and we are working on getting my craft room up and running! lol  Hubby helped me set up the new shelving system we found at IKEA on sale and tomorrow I have plans to get my table that we bought from IKEA set up as well.  The shelving system is an Expedit with 16 shelves 4 across and 4 down.  I've already filled up most of the squares in the shelves.  I have more to get back into the room and I'm trying to figure out what else I can do for storage. Any ideas are more than welcome!!!  I know I need one more shelf so that the door will shut properly lol I have an armoire type shelf in there now and it makes it hard to get in  and out of the door properly. Gotta figure that out.

I'm hoping (ya right! LOL)  to get some sewing done as well. That will depend on the little guy and whether he wants to cooperate!

I made a cover for my Kobo E reader and I'm quite proud of it. I have some tweaks to make on it and I'm hoping to get to that this week. I'll be trying to take pics as I go so I can make a tutorial for it.  If you are interested, please comment and I'll put it up.

Have a great week!

On my to do list!

I bought Amy Butler's new book as I said in this post Happy new Year  and so far I haven't done anything with it, but this Blossom Handbag will be my first to do!  I found the free tutorial over on Sew Mama Sew blog and thought I would pass it along to you.  I think this purse should do me fine since I have to carry so much for the kids in my purse. It should fit my purse organizer too!  I made one over the holidays because I was tired of digging through my bigger purse to find one little thing! lol  If you make one, can you send me a picture and I'll put it up with mine when I get it done.  I am starting a flickr site to do this and if you want the like, comment and I'll pass it along.

Also I will be putting up a giveaway on Wednesday so stay tuned!  If you have preferences over fabric or a book or pattern, please comment and we'll see what the consensus is.  :)

Kids off to school!

Well, the kids are off to school for another semester and I'm so happy! I love having the kids home, but they were starting to get under my feet while I was trying to get some orders done. 

I have 50 business card holders to get done. It's a custom order through Facebook! Yah!!  I will be taking pics as I go and will post them up here in a couple days.  They client wants blues and pinks which should be fun to do. I may have to make some extras for me  :)

I also have a new bag to create for  my camera. I want it to be similar to a bowler bag, but not quite so big. I've seen ones that look similar, but I don't like how they are made. They look like they don't have enough padding in them and I am worried that it won't protect, so I'm making my own.  If it works, I may make more and put them on my Etsy.  I will take pics and put them up here for you all to see.

I was able to get some organizing done in the craft room and so far I love how it's looking. I have more to do, of course, but so far, it is looking so much better than it was. I'm now trying to decide if I want to make my sewing/craft table smaller or not. What is your opinion? I have a 4ft by 4ft table right now and some days it feels too big, but others it's almost too small.  What do you think?
