Crafties

Went to a shower this past weekend and as it usually goes, a deadline like this means I get to craft. Oh, how I love sitting at my table and just playing. Makes all my troubles go away.

Case in point about deadlines. I decided to make my sisters calendars for Christmas. Christmas came and went. Kristen got hers on her birthday, January 10--pretty good for a 2010 calendar. Ash has yet to get hers...my deadline- Feb. 1- I guess I will just rip our January :) Sorry, Ash. You know I love you.
Anyhoo, I promised my lovely friend Ally some pics of the onesie album. Don't you love this blurry photo?

Just so no one thinks I have some perfect crafting world over her- love when people say to me, "Oh, I wish I had the time you had to scrap." "Oh, everything on your blog is so Snow White Perfect." I posted two not so viewable pics.

You see, I went to take some pics of the project for Ally and Rob decided it would be fun to head butt me in the side as I was trying to shoot. Hence the blurry shot. This elicited a laugh from me and invited him to try another antic.


On the next shoot I got this pic of Rob's hand. Rob thought this was hysterical.
Finally, a very strong shriek at Rob yielded this photo. More photos would have been nice to show the gist of the project but, heck after that effort to get one shot, it was not happening.I have to share this before I go....Dave set up another desk in the playroom/craft area to make an "L" with my original craft table so the Cricut can always be set up and ready to go...I LOVE IT.

But in the process of Dave getting the desk for me from the basement he decided it would be awesome to set up a monitor and a docking station under the desk so I could hook up his lap top when I wanted to use my Sure Cuts A Lot and to have other fun while crafting with the internet.

Well, I was very against it. Many reasons like, "I don't have room." "I don't have the patience for the wires." "I don't think it looks good on my desk...."

But, Dave being Dave...he set it up anyway and I let him because it didn't seem worth the fight.

And here it is...I WAS WRONG.Dave was RIGHT . I watch the NBC shows on the internet like Parks and Recreation and Office while crafting. I listen to music. I can check my email in the warmth of the playroom ( it is right by our pellet stove.)

And get this. Today, I was sewing up a little project for my niece and look what I had on the monitor right behind the sewing machine....the tutorial for the project. How beautiful is that?

So thank you Dave for creating a little slice of heaven for me.
