Many of you may have noticed that I have been bitten by the "crafting bug" lately.
I just can't help myself.
There are so many cute things to make (and the online tutorials are FREE!)
Earlier in the week, I embroidered some shirts for a friend of mine that works with Adam.
Just a couple of work shirts, nothing exciting.
I got an email from her thanking me.
She mentioned telling Adam I bothered her because, and I quote,
"you are just so perfect at everything you do."
I wanted to reply and tell her she was absolutely correct.
Everything I create is an absolute masterpiece and should be displayed in some fancy museum in London.
Then, reality set in.
Then, reality set in.
I figured it was far more likely that Adam broke a rib laughing at my percieved perfection than it would be for him to agree with her and play along.
I was right.
I was right.
Her perfection comment got me thinking about my crafty past, and I can assure you, it isn't pretty.
Remember this?
I tried to dig out some of my other craft attrocities, but they are stored somewhere in the attic.
I did make a huge step in the craft world a couple of weeks ago and created what I call my, "craft closet."
We had an armoire stuffed to the brim with junk we never used.
I cleared it out, picked up a couple of dollar store baskets and got it organized!
It was blissful!
I could find the fabric I was looking for!
Patterns were organized by size!
It was fantastic!
Over the weekend, I visited my great aunt.
She sent me home with bags of patterns, thread, and other little jewels.
Now, my craft area is busting at the seams.
To cut down on the clutter, I finished off some projects on my list.
For all of you concerned I never make anything for Caleb, here you go.
Thomas and Cars jammies... Now if only I could find some Diego fabric!
I also finished both of my Button Down dresses!

I even got this one with none other than Brooke Sheilds gracing the cover :)
Vintage trims!
I almost died!
More Vintage!
Iron on patches!

I still have a baby shower project that has to get done by this weekend!
Better get started!
