More bits of what I have been up to...

As I had written before a lot has gone on  with me and my family since I wrote in my blog here. My darling grandson was born Dec 21st, 2014 He was a tiny 5 lbs, 12 oz.  He was born 3 weeks premature because my daughter was developing preeclampsia. He is a precious thing.....  Here he is at 5 days old

Here is in Feb 2014

Of course, he is the center of our lives right now.

We even have a room for 2 of the grandkids here.

And I have also been able to make a craft / art room again.

Here is another little video share showing the progress of getting my craft room situated

Been Too Long and Craft Area Demolishing

Howdy my crafty friends!  It has been forever since I have come to write anything here in my blog.  A lot has transpired.  We went through a lot of ups and downs!  Last year in January, we had found out that my brother-in-law had kidney cancer.  He got sicker and sicker quite rapidly.  He passed in June, a few days after my husband's birthday.   In May , my youngest son got married.  This was just amazing.  I made the sashes for the ladies dresses.  I made all the centerpieces for the reception.   It was a helpful distraction from watching over my brother-in-law.   Also in May, we found out that my only daughter was expecting another baby.  A baby boy.  She had him 3 weeks early on Dec 21st, 2014.   More about what life has been for me and mine next time.   Now, I want to share a short video about the demolishing of my craft area (that had been moved into my master bedroom) so I can move back into a craft room. 

Craft area demolishing !

  Thanks for stopping by !

Wanting more.. always !

I want to write in my blog more!

As you can tell it has been months since I came here. I suppose I found , I mean.. I know I found other things that can take up my time.

I also want to be witty, funny, organised, full of energy, more kind to everyone.

I want to be less obsessive about things and stop procrastinating about sooo many things

I want to be pain free. Seems the last week I have been having a bad bout of kidney stones. I drink tons of water in hopes to rid myself of them, but I think they multiply 3 fold if I pass one. Really tired of being in pain!!

I want to accomplish more in my craft room. Which is now in my master bedroom. (about that in another post).

I want Windows 8.1.

I want to fill my journals and art journals now! And I want to buy more even though I have not filled the ones I have.

I want all my kids to be HAPPY and enjoy life!

I want my husband to always know how much he means to me and how much HE IS MY LIFE!

I want more, but enough of what I want... what do you want?

Woyww #254 Oops... I mean #255

Hello crafty friends from all over.
I missed last week (boohoo) I have been so immersed in making wedding stuff these last weeks, I am going batty. My son's getting married....this is my youngest of 5 sons. My 2nd son got married last year. My 3rd son isn't married, but he has a child with his high school sweetheart, who he broke up with for about 8 years and they are back together now. My 4th son has not married, but he has been with his girlfriend for 9 years and they have 3 kids. My oldest son has been dating one gal for 5 years and she does not want to marry cause her first marriage was real bad. But enough of that... here are some pics of my beautiful messy crafty desks... 1)

Main desk.... it may look clean, but it is only clean in the center. LOL

2)

Desk 2  -  loaded with papers for a wedding mini album

3)

This is full of wedding album embellishments, etc.

~~~ If anyone saw my "woyww # 252"  post, you would have seen the shelving unit my hubby made and this is what it looks like. I put dotted paper to decorate each little box and put ribbon through it for the handles.

Thanks for stopping by..... and please

Who does the dishes?.....

My hubby does the dishes in my house. I work part time and have outside clients. But I am off 3 days a week.
Hubby still does the dishes. And this is how he does them...

He sorts before he puts the utensils in.

Oh well... I don't care!  Why, you may ask?

Cause HUBBY does the dishes.

LOL

Now, I found this wonderful picture on the net

and just had to share, 

cause I so need to lose weight before my youngest son's wedding.

I may have to make me a sign like this!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back anytime,

Me , an artist?

Nah, I am no artist...
But I joined in  "The Documented Life" & Journal 52 art journaling fun anyway!
Why 2, you ask? Well, since I have never done an art journal challenge thingy AND I tend to jump on the band wagon of every new thing I see on youtube, I figured , why the heck not! I loved art in junior high school (don't even ask how long ago that was!) And when I was in art class as a freshman in high school, the teacher said I was good..... HAha, I think that was her job so that the students didn't skip the class.

I joined in these 2 journaling thingys late and am way behind. But it isn't about pressure to keep up, it is about doing some art and enjoying it.
Here is how I made the first week of my  "Documented Life" journal : 

Here is how I did the tabs on my

"Journal 52" journal:

Here is my Week 1 for Documented Life ( the prompt was "your front door") 
It says" Shut the Front Door" (as you can see below) on the inside it says "My front door is pretty lucky, Every time it gets shut, Someone wonderful comes along and opens it... So, please, Shut the Front Door"

Week 1 prompt for "Journal 52" was  "Up, Up and Away" The first thing that came to my mind was a bird flying and dangling a teacup with sparkles dripping out of the cup. So here it is.... 

Thanks for stopping by ...

come back again any time!
