Working in my studio space...

I am so thrilled to have this quiet time to work in my studio space.  My girls have gone to Houston to spend the holiday with their dad and my sweetie has the week off.  We are on slow-motion pace.  My sweetie's son is here and it's been wonderful!  I am glad to have him here to spend time with his dad.  They are so cute together!

I am using this time to get my studio space in order so I can begin working.  We were blessed to inherit my sweetie's mom's china cabinet.  It was at another relatives house, but he's moving out of state, so we were able to get this beautiful piece. Unfortunately, we don't have space in our dining room as I have a beautiful antique dining table and hutch in there already.  The house isn't quite set up for antiques.  There's not a lot of wall space.  So, I get to have this piece in my studio.  I am going to use it to store my fabric stash.  How wonderful it will be to have all my fabric displayed this way.  It's going to take me a while to move the fabric, but I will work on it day by day this week

I have a list of things I want to make and get on Etsy to sell.  I don't know what I'll start with first!  I am also excited to get out my mom's Babylock serger.  I have never used one and will  probably take a class at our local quilt/sewing shop.  I picked up a book at the library on sergers, but I'm more of a visual person - so a class will be better.

A new twist on my blog...

If you had been to my blog in the past, you know what I'm talking about.  I am giving up my previous dishy blog so I can share my more passionate side.  Plus, there were a few people who  didn't appreciate my opinions about my "past".  I guess the truth hurts!

I have always been creative.  I remember "cooking" at the ripe age of 4.  While my parents were sleeping, I would saunter down to the kitchen and create wonderful concoctions... I am surprised I am alive.  I remember mixing cocoa powder with comet.  Stirring it for hours.  The color of green and brown mixing together fascinated me.  Good thing I didn't eat it.  I am probably the reason kids proofing was created.  My parents idea of kid proofing was then to lock my bedroom at night.  Sooooo, I got creative in my bedroom.  I started peeling the wallpaper!

Yep, even as a youngster, I couldn't sit still and always wanted to be doing something.  So, I am sharing my passion of creativity.

Welcome back...

Have fun with me, play and find your own creative side! I'll be sharing all sorts of things from my fabulous finds, culinary creations and those imaginative beauties I create out of paper, fabric, metal or... who knows...

Exciting news, as well... I have been engaged for over two years and we have set the date!!!  I will be married to my soul mate on June 19, 2010!  We are so incredibly excited.  Love the second time around is absolutely amazing!
