Just a Little Update

Hello all!

This past week has been crazy busy between tattoo appointments, Mother's Day festivities and just the daily routines of a stay at home mom. I am super excited to say that I received my Silhouette Cameo in the mail yesterday!! But of course I'm completely lost still haha, can't wait till I'm a pro at it. Definitely doing more reading and watching tutorials and hopefully getting a lesson or two from a friend who has one :)

I'm still crocheting away at the Daisy Blanket... I think I could do the granny squares in my sleep now. Still a long way to go though... feels endless, but I know it'll be a huge accomplishment when it's done so I can't wait!

Just had pictures printed from my favorite site, Snapfish, so I can continue my Project Life for this year. I'm doing a pretty decent job of staying up to date on it so I'm proud of myself for that! :) I know that S is going to love looking back on the scrapbooks and seeing all the little moments documented.

I think that's pretty much it for my current projects, although something new is always popping up...

I thought I'd give you all just a little glimpse into my "creative chaos" workspace:

We have a finished room in our basement that is all mine! (The husband has a 2 bay garage so trust me he's not lacking his own space either, haha).



 This is my desk/command center.



 

The "Project Life station". What you can't see is the drawers full of embellishments and binders that accompany this. Along with my printer and tons & tons of stickers... it's become an addiction. ;) Don't tell my husband... I love getting the core kits from Becky Higgins. I probably have enough to do 3 years worth of albums but shhhh... it's never enough. Haha!








The newest "station" has been given to the Silhouette Cameo! :) There's not much more to this station as to the fact that I just got it, but no worries, that will soon change much to the dismay of my husband ;)  (Don't mind the "mess" under the desk, that belongs to my "sewing station")






And what's not pictured is my entire dresser filled with yarn and crochet/knitting materials. And of course my tattoo station. 

    Oh and for anyone that is curious, that beautiful mural of The Nightmare Before Christmas, you see half of behind my desk was painted by one of my very talented friends that goes by the name Johnny Vandal. He does amazing work! (as you can clearly see...)



Well that's it for tonight, have to start working on one of my many, many projects. But to end it with a smile check out this picture of little S enjoying her first s'mores over the weekend! :)

Daisies for Days

Yesterday I got to celebrate my 26th birthday with my amazing husband and beautiful daughter as well as some close friends and family. I am truly blessed to have such wonder people in my life.

I'm currently crocheting in bed while little miss S is sleeping away. :) (She's only sleeping in bed with mommy lately; good thing we have a King size! ) This is what I like to call "me time"
I'm working on a rather large order for SophieLove Creations. I started my first granny square blanket. Not just any granny square though :) this one is made to look like a daisy. It requires 99 squares total... hence daises for days... Haha! I'm super excited about this project! I'll be doing it in variations of purples and pinks per request. Can't wait to finish this blanket. Hopefully it leads to many more projects of this size!

On another exciting note, within the next week I will be ordering my very own Silhouette Cameo! Took a little convincing from the hubby to spend the money on myself but I'm confident that I will be able to make it worth while.
