What I have been up to....

I was supposed to be organizing the rest of the kitchen but decided to put that off for a while. I was supposed to be organizing the bathroom cupboards but decided I did not want to do that just yet since I need to cut some wood to make a shelf for the cupboard. So what have I been doing you ask?

Easy.... I have been sewing... I decided I wanted to make something for Valentines day that could be left up for the Spring time too... So what have I come up with? You will have to wait and see as it is not done yet... BUT check out those colors....
OOOOH!! So lovely! I am in L.O.V.E. with how the colors blend so nicely... It is my own private rainbow! LOL :O)
I have also been playing with this....

Now, I got this back in September for a SCREAMING deal at the Scrapbook USA here in Utah. But, alas it stayed in its box until today... I got all my cartridges linked to it and got it registered... Speaking of registering it... If you have bought a Gypsy and not registered it you need to. They will give you 5 FREE cartridge downloads.. FOR FREE!!!! Of ones you do not have!!! SCORE!!!! So go register it over at Critcut.com/gypsy.
I am planning on playing with my Gypsy this weekend since we will be in the mountains playing in the snow. Should keep me entertained and DRY and WARM. :O)

Lastly, I have been de-cluttering this space....
It is my craft room. You could hardly walk in here this morning... This wall was stacked to the ceiling with boxes.. You see if I can not find a place for something it gets put in here. Not any more.. I have plans for this wall.. I have a cabinet that I got off of KSL for FREE and am turning it into something spectacular!! But, you will have to wait on seeing that..



This is one of the project areas from last fall... I turned the so called closet area into a scrapbook station. It is equipped with a counter top that I got at the Habitat Re-store. I will show better pics of this area when it is all cleared out. Don't you just love the bolts of fabric? The lighter one is for my curtains in the living room and kitchen/dining rooms. Hope to get those done real soon. The Buffalo check is for curtains and reupholstering the chair in this craft room. I will be working on that soon also.. The large picture is of Wrigley field. I got it for the Hubbs for our anniversary last July.... Still need to hang it obviously....



Thought I would show you the rest of the craft room too... Just keeping it real... Ignore the mess PLEASE because it is a Huge mess.... But, lots better than it was.. Really that is not saying much. As there is a lot to do still... But, as always it is a work in progress..




This cabinet holds lots of goodies... Decor goodies... It's my stash!! SHHH! Do not tell the Hubbs about it...



And the sewing area... At least I can sew now... Before I always had to take the sewing machine off the table so we could eat. So projects got left behind and never finished. Not any more!! :O)

See, here is my stash of sewing projects to be completed.... All nice and neat... Even comes complete with a almost finished key fob... Just one more stitch and it is done... I better get on that one so I can check it off my list...
Thanks for visiting me and I hope you enjoyed this little impromptu tour of my craft room. Now since looking at the pictures I have noticed that I seem to have an over abundance of picture frames... Need one or 20? I will have to come up with something to do with them... Oh, the wheels are a turning......
Have a great one and come back again.. :O)
