Want to Learn To Crochet??

noreply@blogger.com (Humble Beginnings) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 16:36:00 +0000

So i ran across this today! I am soooo IN!

I have been wanting to pick crochet back up again! There are soo many neat and trendy items you can make with crochet.

And....think about all the time you spend in dr.'s offices, the car, sitting wainting on things...and all that time you could be creating something FABULOUS!

Class starts on Saturday, October 1st! I realize this is very soon, but don't worry if you can't get started right away, everything will be here waiting for you. I wanted to give all of you time to learn so you can start making holiday gifts.
Oh and just in case you skip the syllabus, this class is F-R-E-E free!
Please share the word! I would feel really bad doing all this work and only have 3 of you following along.

Here is the link to her blog (b/c i can't get the "buttons" to work) Crochet School Blog!

Birthday Party Craft night

noreply@blogger.com (Humble Beginnings) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 22:30:00 +0000

Last night i organized a 2 hour crafting Diva Bonanza with 4 11yr old girls. It was a birthday party!

We had soo much fun. The girls were soo creative! They also got REALLY GIDDY by the time we were done :)

Here is one item they took home. More pictures to come!

This is 4 of my Valise Suitcases. Size Medium. All done up with their Initials. Can you believe all 4 girls names began with "A"!!

Then some ribbon and trim was added and Voila!! A Diva Case!

Only a few things left to do.

Moving and a Shaking

noreply@blogger.com (Humble Beginnings) — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 13:13:00 +0000

I know i have been MIA. I'm not really good at the whole blogging thing yet, but i'm trying.

I started preparing my "shop" last night. Hubby and I, well and the two kiddo's, started painting! Today hopefully, i get to move int he fabric, put up slat wall, and peg board...trying to make this as cute as i can on the inside of a gov't building! :)

Here are some pics from last night!! Yeah this was a chore!! Trying to cover up this rusty orange color was a CHORE!! $70 in paint later!!


Garrett Helping us out! Both boys wanted to PAINT SOOO BAD!

The Lovely color we are trying to cover up!

My DH. SOOO Thrilled that i get him wrapped up into these kinds of things.


Lets hope that when i get back there in the morning...It still looks nice and white like this!

I'll keep you all posted as the progress continues!

Trading Spaces....Warning Pciture Heavy!

noreply@blogger.com (Humble Beginnings) — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 21:44:00 +0000

So I've been struggling with the idea of swapping my sewing room, which was in a spare bedroom, with the boys playroom, which was the whole upstairs loft.

I'm hoping that the move will encourage more sewing! I used to SEW ALLLLL the time. In the last year i have really only been sewing when someone orders something...instead of creating everyday...WELL THATS STOPPING!!!
I'm going to start vamping up my repetoire, pushing my sewing to its fullest! Starting with a Complete sewing room makeover....Here is the progress!!

Yup im Crammed in there! Its a Really good size room...i just have too much stuff

My machines lined up..

the hardest part will be finding where to put my stamping/scrapping stuff

Yucky picture of my computer area...see my sewing is already leaking into the loft.

Boys in the playroom

Playroom from the view of the sewing room

View from the top of the stairs

Garrett helping me haul everything out of the sewing room...

lost of the loose stuff that was all on the floor in there

cutting table is out..and all the stuff on the floor is out

last bit of the fabric being hauled to the guest room

starting to make the switch...putting furniture into place

Yeah Daddy is home to help!

and finding time to goof off

yup more of the goofing

guest bedroom where the fabric was in a holding pattern

starting to add fabric to the book cases

the new sewing nook...still working

ok so i think this part of the room is done...

wish i could say the same for this side...where am i going to store all this??

oh this section will be soo nice when its all organized!

yup all the tid-bits still left. the NExt post on this room will show it ALL done and open for business!
