i'm back!

ok, so maybe i'm not the most consistent blogger, but i am gonna give it yet another try! 

and this is just a quick little note to say that, yes, i am still crafting & avoiding a perfect house and i have new plans for this year! i decided to forgo resolutions, given that i'm horrible at keeping them, instead i am making plans & coming up with new ideas...so far, so good but it is only 6 days into the new year! 

first up for the month of january is $0 crafting, meaning that i make do with what i have here on hand & start on my task of cleaning out some of the yarn, ribbon, & fabric that i already own, as well as finishing up projects that should have been done long ago! i'm also reorganizing & decorating my craft/sewing/guest room...i'm super excited about that & should be starting next week, i've already gotten the primer & paint!

beyond that, i plan on painting & organizing the laundry room, crafting like a crazy person, & generally enjoying life! we've got a big family trip down to orlando planned for easter break & i'm sure all the things leading up to & following will be perfect for blogging...even if it's only for my venting benefit!

so come on back in the coming days & weeks, months even...i'll be posting pics of all the crafty-ness so far & i know that pics are the favorite part of blogs (at least they are for me :))!

new year, new ideas, & starting over

a little more than a week into the new year and i'm again trying this blogging thing...always with high hopes of continuing it, but never actually getting very far into the year. but this is a whole new year and and i'm trying to be a whole new me so there's at least a small chance that this will finally take and i will continue blogging well past june!

so, rather than make excuses for last years drop off in blogging, i'm just gonna start fresh and do the best i can! 

and so the creativity will start tonight while i get some ideas from all over the web...i love modern technology, by the way! and the blogging will come once i get a few things made up and pictures taken.

i have high hopes on the creativity/crafting/cooking/baking front this year and that makes me look forward to every day and the possibilities that it brings!

happy crafting! and come back soon!
