Feelin' Crafty




So much craftiness, so not enough time! I have a bajillion ideas constantly running through my brain. ALL the time. So much fun. But alas, there is just simply not enough time in my days (anyones really?) to do all of these fun ideas. However, I did manage to get one fun, just to spend time with my monkey boy, project done this weekend! Okay, it's not totally finished, but it's getting there. Above are just some glimpses of it. Basically, it's leftover craft foam from another project. Random bits of colorful not-so-perfect circles that I thought would be fun to turn into some type of "window treatment" for a spare room in our house that we are thinking about turning into a "playroom" of sorts. Really, it's my son's nursery, but he has sinced moved into his "big boy" room. We had plans of keeping it a nursery, but things have not gone quite according to our plan. I will not go into a long sob story here about my PCOS and attempts to have more children. But, it is the reality of things and not that we're giving up, just deciding that the space can't go unused forever! So, we decided what fun it would be to decorate it so it can be a play-ish room for the monkey boy and easily transition into a nursery if that is to happen again in the future. We have not told the monkey boy this as of yet. Still trying to work out the logistics of it all. Meanwhile, it's kinda sad to realize we have been here for five years and have yet to put something up on the window in this room other than the paper shade that is still there...from when we moved in! Not that I haven't wanted to, it's just the view out the window is, well, not really anything other than another window...our neighbors! Literally, thats it. Look out a window and into another! I have thought about planting something out that way, but it's not really a frequented place when we're outside, so I am easily able to "forget" about watering and careing for whatever it would be that I were to plant there. Anyone have any good ideas on this? There is only about a good three feet between the house and the fence separating us from our neighbors on that side. Thankfully, they are rather nice neighbors! I could go on, but I won't.

Hope all are having a nice weekend! Take it easy and enjoy the rest of it before Monday comes again.....

A bajillion ideas indeed! I wish I had time to make all my crafty ideas. Instead I keep a notebook where I jot everything down. I guess I figure when I retire I'll have lots to keep me busy! LOL
