Trying to control the chaos

Why do I bother? July 21, 2008

I am a horrible blogger. LOL

I’ve been busy for the last couple of months making lots of crafty goodness. I thought I would show off some of the stuff I’ve made. I mentioned Craftster.org in a different post. Well, almost all the crafting has been for different swaps I’ve signed up for. I have done things I don’t normally do and it’s so much fun stepping out of my comfort zone.

Here is just a mass of photos for you to look at. There is lots so be forewarned. LOL

I had a blast making all of these and it is surprising to me what I’ve come up with. The t-shirt is one of my favorites. I found a graphic and traced it onto the tee and then proceeded to paint in the entire thing. I love, love, love how it came out. I sprinkled some glitter on when the paint was damp so it was a little sparkly. Love!

I love the dresses I made for the girls too. I made them in just a couple of days. I used the same fabric for all 3 but different patterns and I used the same type of ribbon but let them choose their own colors. I am thrilled with how they came out.

I did a shrinky dink swap and made some fun shrinky dink art. The rainbow woven thing is one and that heart skull thing w/ wire wrapped around it and the Hello Kitty necklace is all from shrinky dinks.

I have enjoyed making them so much. Dave is irritated at my spending money and all but what else is new? LOL I have received some great stuff though. So I can’t complain.

Ok, that’s my sad little update. But one more thing- I got myself a kitten. I named her Bailey and she’s a pain in the arse. LOL She is pretty though so I’ll keep her. Wanna see?
