1) I joined another tag swap. I know . . . what was I thinking???? But this one is a vintage Easter swap. This swap had me at "vintage." This swap is being hosted by Andrea over at Vintage Bella Studio. I will be making and sending 20 tags. With Karla's tag swap — where we made only 6 tags — each one of my tags was different. For this one (20 tags!), I will be making 20 identical ones. I already have an idea . . . one that makes me remember Easters as a little girl when we'd get a pretty new dress and lightweight coat, shiny mary janes, lacy anklet socks, hat, pocketbook and GLOVES.
2) Working on a bridal shower (with my creative co-worker Courtney) for Molly. Can't divulge much here 'cause she reads my blog. But it will be beautiful. I promise.
3) Have a breakfast baby shower next Thursday at work for Andrea. Am working on some hand-crafted decorations that will then be a keepsake for Andrea and the baby girl!
4) And lastly, the biggest project of all, one that I'd like to complete this weekend, is the conversion of the rumpus room into my very own craft room. Harleigh encouraged me this weekend to do this. Love that girl. She said that with her leaving the ol' homestead soon, that I should think of re-jiggering the house a bit to make it more about me. So we devised a plan — what to do with the TV, the furniture, storage solutions. And I think it's gonna work. I already have the Candy Spelling Gift Closet as part of the room, so it should definitely corral my crafting, sewing and gifting stuff into one area (that can be closed off).
All that said, posts to come with lots of pix!
Lady, you have a lot on your plate. It all sounds like fun. I can't wait to see photos!
ReplyDeleteYou've been as busy as I have. Can't wait to bridal shower pictures, and I bet those tags will be adorable. Jackie
ReplyDeleteYou're going to be a busy girl! I love your idea of the old patterns for your tag swap. I used to make a little dress for my daughter for Easter - with a hat, of course.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting to have your own space for all your hobbies. Hopefully it's a room that has a door you can shut so you don't feel compelled to put everything away at the end of each day!
I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures of all your events and projects.
you are the best! I am truly SO excited about the shower and so grateful to you and Courtney already! Because I know it is going to be F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!
