Craft Hope for Haiti

Craft Hope is truly awesome. I, like most everyone, am horrified by the disaster in Haiti and feel paralyzed by an inability to do anything to help. If I could I would adopt a baby - so so many orphans!

Luckily, Craft Hope is providing a way for crafters to help! Crafters donate items to be sold in the Craft Hope for Haiti etsy shop and all proceeds to go to Doctors without Borders!!

I donated my original buttercup bag - Rae allows donations of bags made from her patterns! I was so happy to be able to do something and with school starting tomorrow I couldn't make anything new. Worked out perfectly!!

If you too want to donate see details here.

in my element

grant caught me spending my day the way i wish i could spend most of my days...staying in my pjs, archiving my pictures, looking at fabric with it all in arms reach. back to the grind starting tonight...

thank goodness!

oh man

do i need this? i think YES!

tornado watch

yesterday we had our first serious tornado threat. since we are tornado virgins my husband wanted me to be with him at work - its much safer there than in our apartment. 

at first i was frustrated because i couldn't get my TO DO list done, but then i decided to look at it as a free afternoon to do whatever crafting i wanted! it was pretty much perfect.... computer, lots of fabric, copier to enlarge patterns, and my cutting mat. 

oh.. and the tornado never came. it hit everywhere around us, but we were lucky. 

happy mother's day!

come back Monday to see what I made to celebrate our mamas! 

welcome!

thanks for coming over!! i love crafting and blogging a lot so i decided its about time i started a craft blog. i have been trying to think of a name for this blog for what seems like forever. 

a few weeks ago i was reading some blog (wish i remembered it...) and the writer described a project she was working on as creatively satisfying. that description really resonated with me. that is how i feel when i make things. albeit after the sweating, swearing, frogging, and seam ripping are over. so that is how this blog came to be named...

i've archived most of my craft & wedding posts from my other blog so all the craftiness is in one place, but if you can't find something - just ask!

i hope you enjoy!
