Teacher Spoons...

It's so funny that the end of school year is here and it actually for the first time in forever, it doesn't really affect me.  The 19 year old is coming home from college this weekend... woohoo!  The 14 year old is home schooled, so he will continue throughout the summer.  But in the spirit of all those lovely teachers gifts, we are doing a teacher spoon.  It's a larger spoon ... either a tablespoon or a bouillon soup spoon with the quote, "Teachers plant seeds that grow forever".  A gal pal of mine stuck them in a pretty potted plant for each of her kids teachers as gifts.  Check them out in my Etsy shop (see link on right) if you are still trying to come up with that one perfect teacher gift! 

Until tomorrow..

Did you hear that??

Did you hear that? It was the whooshing sound of time flying by! 16 days since my last post. I swear, I am usually so much better than this. I have been juggling so much lately, I just don't always know where to begin!

Did anyone notice that my Etsy store has no new sewing in it? Jim has totally taken over my time with his constant questions about this or that.  He is the utilitarian 1/2 of this equation and I bring the creativity.  I think I spend more time trying to plan what he is making next, than I do anything else.  I love him, but sometimes ya just wanna kill him! LOL Besides, when did I become the token silver polisher?

So... Very exciting that we finally were able to bring our spoon bracelets to Etsy.  They are stunning and I want to keep all of them for myself.  Each and every one.  I keep sneaking off with a few finished bracelets and he keeps having to go get them back to be photographed.  I have to come up with a better hiding spot.  Darn that Jim again!  ;)

Enjoy the new pics of my new "babies"... We have had so much fun creating them!

Slow getting anything done....

Spoons have come to my Etsy shop. Thank Goodness, I finally got them done. It's a double edged sword though. I listed a bunch, sold a bunch and now I have to list a bunch again. LOL Don't get me wrong, I am all for making money, but holy cow it's exhausting dealing with that site. Their listing format bites hiney.

So .. very little is going my way these days. I am suppose to be listing on Ebay and I just don't. But is that really something new? LOL I have many beautiful summer dresses cut out and ready to be sewn togther... and I just don't. I am falling somewhere between the lines of inspired and just too tired to give a shit. KWIM?

As a source of inspiration to my fellow crafters, I wanted to pass on my most favorite quilt pattern site... http://www.quilterscache.com ... Thousands of free quilt patterns. I would love to get a little quilting done but, you know how it will go. LOL

I am totally on the self pity whining pathetic train this morning. Perhaps after breakfast, things will at least seem more promising that I might accomplish something today.

I am paying hard cash for anyone to weed my veggie garden... LMAO... Apply Within!!

Forged with soul....

Whew. About darn time. I finally started to stock my Etsy store. Of course I have only gotten a small handful of the copper cuff bracelets listed, but hey it's better than nothing right!?

So here they are... *drum roll*...



Very excited about them. We shall seeeee! Totally excited about upcycling the copper. They are so rustic and unqiue.

Buried under it all....

My God! How the hell can one person buy so much stuff with the intention of putting it on ebay but never get it all on there? I'm soooo buried under stuff! I think I am going to organize, get listing, etc. I don't. I'm so blah. I have ebay piles everywhere. Some here, some there, don't tell my husband about that other pile... etc. You get the picture.

I am taking a personal oath... Get 'er done! Ok.. not so much an oath as a kick in the personal pants.

Sheesh... I must be perpetually lazy. You would know this to be true if I mentioned how long it's been since I shaved my legs.

Off to find a web site about hairstyles for your knees...


PS.... -----------------> Follow that link over there and shop with me on Ebay, it would help get rid of my piles.. Hint! Hint!

Well... It is what it is...

So.  I finally had to give up my old posts.  I tried censoring them, but ya know how it is ... misbehave typing too much and there is no erasing that past!  LOL  So, here I am, a totally deleted blog.  It's like a brand new notebook.  Sharpen the pencil ... and away we go.
