Craft Space

Well, I decided to hang up my bead storage compartments. I need another one so I can get rid of all the plastic ones I have stacked up. I have a lot of beads and can't help but to buy more whenever I go anywhere. I love them..lol. Here's a pic of my jewelry making space. I did this today. What do ya think?

New stitched bracelet

I stitched this bracelet last night. I like color, so I made this one with a variety of colors. I need to order more swarovski so I can make a double strand. I am going to make a pork roast with saurkraut tomorrow. I invited my cousin Robert and his girlfriend Jaime to come over. Matt and I love when they come over. We watch movies, play games, and just sit and chat. Last night Journey drove us crazy. He had chewed up a plastic ball that squeaked. Well, we threw it away because Phoenix will eat it if not. Journey stood by the trash can and cried and cried. He would look up at Matt with those puppy dog eyes pleading "dad, I need that ball". As soon as Matt would turn to face the tv, Journey would jump up and try to get the ball out of the trash can. When Matt would turn around, he would sit quickly as to not get caught and give his sad look. He's so sneaky. I tried to give him other toys, but no, he wanted that chewed up ball. When he finally realized he was not going to get it, he jumped up on the chair and laid down all sad like. Poor Journey.

What do you do to organize?

I have always wished that I was more of an organized person. I try to organize and plan on doing this for the next few days. I woke up early this morning and started. Is it me or does it seem like the bigger place you have, the more junk and stuff you accumulate? I feel as if I never have enough space for all my stuff. So, I am now in the mindset of if I have not used it in the past 6 months, in the trash it goes. I do have all my beads organized in cases where screws usually go. I think this works best for me. It's other stuff that I need to get in order. I would love for ya'll to share your organizational tips. How do you organize? What do you do?

Matt and I had a great time at my cousin Robert's today. He bbq'd steaks and chicken..yumm. Maiya, his yorkie is looking a little plump. I hope she's not preggers.

Here's a bracelet I made last night with sterling silver clasp. Enjoy!

My cousin Deanna asked me to make a bracelet for her. I making two for her to choose from. This is the first one that I just finished. It has the sterling silver clasp. The next one will have different colors.

2009

I am really going to focus on improving my skills and creating wonderful desgins for 2009. I have been practicing and learning different stitches, and I will post these as soon as I have them perfected. Here is another flat stitch bracelet I made. I think I am going to send this one to my mom : )

Happy New Years!

We had a wonderful time last night at Beau and Charlotte's house. Charlotte cooked up all kinds of food. It was all so tasty. I swear I ate the entire time..lol. We played Rockband 2, and the house was rockin'. It's always nice to bring in the New Year with your friends who are in all actuality your family. I am thankful for having such wonderful friends. I hope everyone has a fantastic 2009.

I made this bracelet today, but finished when it was already night time. I will take some more pictures tomorrow outside and post it on etsy.
