<div style="text-align: center;">My K had some man time chopping firewood...a lot of it being that we just had to get the tallest tree in our yard cut down. We had some bad feelings about taking this huge tree down, goodness knows how old it was, until we saw the middle. It was rotten. A squirrel made his home in there and is now displaced but I promise to "drop" some bird seed on the lawn for him to make up for it. </div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/Greenhouse/?action=view&current=066-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/Greenhouse/066-1.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I haven't blogged in awhile, so here's some things to catch up on. </div><div style="text-align: center;">My very first attempt at making my own veggie sauce. </div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/Greenhouse/?action=view&current=012-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="324" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/Greenhouse/012-1.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

My K had some old white t-shirts laying around. You know the kinds...with the not so nice armpits? Martha says to wash them with aspirin to remove those stains...haven't tried it yet but I'll believe her for now. Sometimes she makes things look easier then they actually are.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyways, got the t-shirts, some RIT die, a bucket and my wooden spoon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=003.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="424" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/003.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I was happy to cut these suckers up.<br />

So, I have been checking out the jewelry aisle at the craft store lately. When making my own jewelry , I usually use semi-precious gemstones but I've noticed how fashion jewelry is such a trend now that I wanted to try some out myself. I liked the way it came out so much that I went back and bought some more so I posted them on my<span style="color: red;"> </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/eastendwalkdesigns" style="color: red;">Etsy Shop.</a> </div><br />

With a discount for YOU!<div style="text-align: center;">First I would like to apologize for my brief hiatus. Unlike most other bloggers out there, I do the blog work during the weekend while working the 9-5'er during the week. I'm not going to make excuses. One weekend I didn't have my creative fluffies flowing and another weekend I just didn't feel like doing a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. But I'm back, and what better way to be back then to have a post with a discount. Yup, I said it, a discount!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll start off by giving you some insight....some insight to our bare walls. My K is always asking for something on the walls. He thinks they're to bare. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/Shelf/?action=view&current=005-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="214" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/Shelf/005-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I agree with him, but when I think of putting things up on the wall the first thing that comes to mind is....my Swiffer. Because the more things that go on the wall, the more I have to dust and the more I have to dust, the less time there is for my crafts. But he is right. We've lived in this house for almost two years and sometimes it can look like its ready for an Open House. No personality. So I gave in. Starting small at first. It's an overwhelming feeling and I have to remind myself that nothing is permanent, I can always change my mind. Easier said then done hence the empty frame in the second picture!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had to start somewhere.....</div><div style="text-align: center;">There's an Etsy seller, TRwoodworks, that I've had my eye one for a while now. They make the most adorable shelves.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/Shelf/?action=view&current=il_fullxfull204841141-1.jpg" target="_blank"><br />
</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I convo'd them (Etsy talk for emailing through the Etsy site) to see if they could make a custom size and as luck would have it, they could. My shelf was made to order and was here so quickly! It arrived in a neatly packaged box with the mounting hardware and directions (which I promptly handed over to my K) .</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because I had wanted one of these shelves for such a long time, I wanted it to be perfect. For the finishing touch I went out and bought some flowers and painted a little sign. (This will eventually be replaced once I can actually paint a little picture of our house, but I need practice, and lots of it.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/Shelf/?action=view&current=106-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="284" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/Shelf/106-1.jpg" width="640" /> </a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a sample of some of their other shelves.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Once my shelf was up and all cutie pie'd up, I convo'd them again asking if they wouldn't mind being featured on my blog. They were more then willing & grateful and even offered a discount code to be used. But before we get there, I wanted to provide some background on this cute couple making these cute shelves:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Aaron and Julie Callison are a husband and wife team that own and operate TRwoodworks. Aaron has been wood-working since high-school, where he met Julie! They've been together ever since. Over the years they've lived everywhere from Hawaii and North Carolina, to Montana, where they currently reside. Aaron served in the US Army, and they even drove 18-wheelers together. But he loves woodworking. He spent the last 4 years working two jobs to build his shop and pay for his tools, and now finally works for himself full-time. Julie handles the business side of things, and really enjoys it. In her spare time, you'll most likely find her on the back of a horse! The other member of team TRwoodworks is small, but very important. The mini-schnauzer mascot Jonesy. You can bet if you're in the shop, he's there too! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I like looking at my shelf knowing there is a story behind it, about the people who made it. That is what handmade is all about. :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Happy Sales!</div>Scribble Scrabblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00354889546205495510noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036481090393189334.post-9453784004569882682011-02-07T04:37:00.000-08:002011-02-07T04:41:38.075-08:00Scrap Fabric Necklace<div style="text-align: center;">I've mentioned before I'm a self proclaimed craft hoarder, right? Well, one of the supplies I seem to have in abundance is fabric, but not fabric by the yard...bits and pieces in strange shapes. I cant even remember what I must have made to leave these shapes behind. Either way, I found something to do with them and decided to share.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=053-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="215" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/053-1.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> Start by getting all your supplies together. An important thing to remember when picking the beads out is to make sure that the holes will be wide enough to allow the fabric to pass through. At Michael's they sell these heavy duty wire needles from Beadalon (in the jewelry section )with a large eye that I bought to make it easier to bring the fabric through the bead.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=009.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="412" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/009.jpg" width="640" /> </a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Make strips of fabric approximately 1" wide. I was lucky as most of my scraps were on the longer side, but there were a few that I needed to piece together to make longer. Do this by facing the two wrong sides together and stitching a single line down the width of the fabric. No need to back stitch as you will be sewing over them later on. Use your judgment as to how long you would like the necklace to be. Mine were all various lengths as I wanted to wear a few at a time with a layered look. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Once you have all your fabric cut into strips, fold in half lengthwise with the two right sides facing each other. Stitch down the long end of your fabric strip.</div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=012.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="425" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/012.jpg" width="640" /> </a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">When you reach the end of the fabric strip, lift up the foot and turn to stitch to the end.</div><div style="text-align: center;">You dont need to complete this step as you will cut it off later on, but it does make it easier to turn them inside out. </div><br />
<a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=013-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="424" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/013-1-1.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">After your finished sewing, turn the strips inside out. I just used a pen for this, nothing fancy needed!</div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=014-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="425" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/014-1.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
After your finished, all your strips should look like this:</div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=018.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="424" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/018.jpg" width="640" /> </a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Attach one of the wire needles to the end of the fabric strip. Do this by taking the point of the needled and inserting it through both sides of the strip. Once you do that, pass it back through the eye. Don't pull it too tight as it might snap off (as I learned!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=020-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="425" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/020-1.jpg" width="640" /> </a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Once the needle is on, start adding your beads. I chose to knot on each side of a bead but this isnt necessary unless the hole of your beads is so wide that they could move around. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=024-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="425" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/024-1.jpg" width="640" /> </a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Place the beads where ever you want and add as many as you want. I placed them in random spots all along the fabric strip. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have a fabric strip that was sewn together to get your desired length, you may find it hard to get the bead over the seam. In these instances, this is where I cut off the top of the fabric strip that I sewed across (the seam you made to make the pen easier to turn the strip inside out). I inserted another needle on this side and added beads.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Once you are finished adding the beads, take the ends and place one edge on top of the other and sew them together.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=025.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="404" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/025.jpg" width="640" /> </a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">And your finished!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=027.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/027.jpg" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was happy the way these came out. Even tried to take some self portraits with them on. Think I need to work on the self portrait things. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/?action=view&current=056-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="640" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x356/ScribbleScrabble44/056-1-1.jpg" width="640" /> </a><br />

Maybe it has been weeks....how knows. Around here it is one snowy day into another.<br />
Winter's still hanging around. I'm waiting for it to leave. I have two hands on each side of the door with my foot up waiting to boot it on its bottom.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's been a while since my last post (sorry 'bout that) and I was thinking that I wanted to make something to give me a little cheer. So off to the craft store I went on Friday's lunch break in preparation. I had big plans of locking myself in the house and just make stuff all weekend, but it never works out that way....</div><div style="text-align: center;">However, there was one successful creation! So I decided to share it and for those who dont have the time to make one of these pretty 'lil things, I'm giving one away to a lucky commenter. (see below for more details)<br />
Break out the glue guns! Or, Charlie, as I refer to mine. Yup, my glue gun has a name.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFpDZDOMKMl2zNzWUJ6jQxihDH1YrkxcK7YrvF1ikobb3lqDtwc_DJrmleCL4JVCAfBRFibp4kPFQyEmdvLSswIZEXLdOAje-wZR9azIaoGdRwU_Xt-1yTwtVspdJG0KKpaCXx3YdDLck/s1600/333-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFpDZDOMKMl2zNzWUJ6jQxihDH1YrkxcK7YrvF1ikobb3lqDtwc_DJrmleCL4JVCAfBRFibp4kPFQyEmdvLSswIZEXLdOAje-wZR9azIaoGdRwU_Xt-1yTwtVspdJG0KKpaCXx3YdDLck/s640/333-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Start by getting a foam wreath form, one roll of yarn and enough sheets of felt for as many flowers you want. For the wreaths shown, I used a 12" form. Thinking about it now, I wish I would have gotten a 14" just so it would be a little bigger and I was able to add a few more flowers.<br />
<br />
Decide how you want the colors to be laid out and cut your circles appropriately. The bigger you cut your circle, the larger the flower will be. I was able to get four small flowers from one sheet. For the larger flowers, one whole sheet was cut into a circle.(I cut extra as I was making two wreaths at once)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLTXMvBGahLeeIe-J_ay6pPjDRR7unV6iSLwVzZlaGT2bOddTg07WN2O6GpfvGHUUP2aVl2z_rU78VLqwl1PBiyiUkJ_fm2YuNzPTpjxq-UvolJwrBqV1XUVon79jp-FdYVKHn5is1h3k/s1600/205-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLTXMvBGahLeeIe-J_ay6pPjDRR7unV6iSLwVzZlaGT2bOddTg07WN2O6GpfvGHUUP2aVl2z_rU78VLqwl1PBiyiUkJ_fm2YuNzPTpjxq-UvolJwrBqV1XUVon79jp-FdYVKHn5is1h3k/s640/205-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Start by placing a line of glue to hold the beginning. Give it a few minutes to take hold then start wrapping! I found that by holding the wreath form in between my knees and passing the yarn through went fastest. I was able to wrap the first on while watching an episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Killed two birds with one stone.<br />
<br />
Once the wreath is wrapped completely, start cutting again. Cut the outer edges of the circles to make soft waves, then begin cutting the circles into coils. (See photos below)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWnKCdp7LGl88AuNtQIsfcFAuHHNvHvNkeCDoZ898Tru1grAg2pjYOQIlaXQehMhNT1qYCmeGVQsOfEHUkb0tzJybLdKUrjXLbadBE7SfSCYipRd3yQ6cNHkf948sjw_yPl522AFXmh9c/s1600/017-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWnKCdp7LGl88AuNtQIsfcFAuHHNvHvNkeCDoZ898Tru1grAg2pjYOQIlaXQehMhNT1qYCmeGVQsOfEHUkb0tzJybLdKUrjXLbadBE7SfSCYipRd3yQ6cNHkf948sjw_yPl522AFXmh9c/s640/017-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Once the felted coils are cut, start to make the flower by rolling up the the coil from the outside making sure that the smooth edges are even. (The wavy sides will be your petals.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeE51bDDd4d3HFgl7UCZSSgl1Zc1eKyn9W2k6ZPNi-RnPzv6QExeBOlYY1C7E5PK8_UC41zIeKaU-ZEgSM-uKr3ETCC1eOpyAXMu4-wJWh2HQbCUNhfrD1T1BDhU59xegLz3Gw5LRph1Y/s1600/023-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeE51bDDd4d3HFgl7UCZSSgl1Zc1eKyn9W2k6ZPNi-RnPzv6QExeBOlYY1C7E5PK8_UC41zIeKaU-ZEgSM-uKr3ETCC1eOpyAXMu4-wJWh2HQbCUNhfrD1T1BDhU59xegLz3Gw5LRph1Y/s640/023-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Squirt the glue gun on the botton of the flower and use the middle of the coil to lay on top of the glue. Let it dry a little while then glue it onto your wreath.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNnzxYWJTqqjjY-dBPnj_OZjb1qERSqpJ_yxbnfCUvOG7i3TWPTDXco_ZKocTdUNq7lyOmf9Qlba0lR69-Qs_clFkJlbDkiqxlifNhAeOladLhP-huJdxhBmnCjAdIqtfg6Suqv6r3iag/s1600/283-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNnzxYWJTqqjjY-dBPnj_OZjb1qERSqpJ_yxbnfCUvOG7i3TWPTDXco_ZKocTdUNq7lyOmf9Qlba0lR69-Qs_clFkJlbDkiqxlifNhAeOladLhP-huJdxhBmnCjAdIqtfg6Suqv6r3iag/s640/283-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> I also added some little leaves to mine with good 'ol Charlie.<br />
<br />
So now time for the giveaway. Same as last time, leave a comment and a lucky commenter who will be picked at random will receive the wreath shown below! The giveaway will be open for one week. Good luck! And remember, you must be a follower of my blog!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We had a small snowfall Friday. One that was anticipated for all day. When it started, I grabbed that as an excuse to get out of my cubicle and head for the closest door. Snowflakes the size of fists came down in the most calming way and knew just where to stick themselves. And when I woke on Saturday morning, they were all still right where they landed.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7wOPSN5qbsmSCTyutzjBhm2xctXmjH5WWNK8QIOdKpr6H2qeHEkPm6ErZiooglxCZdAgFzMl-xa7xGu8kRLubZs_z5VXazQ7sFzXG3i0xJhL1OcyZ3U30emX_6LwNfOPgTTfv8Bv0ycs/s1600/035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7wOPSN5qbsmSCTyutzjBhm2xctXmjH5WWNK8QIOdKpr6H2qeHEkPm6ErZiooglxCZdAgFzMl-xa7xGu8kRLubZs_z5VXazQ7sFzXG3i0xJhL1OcyZ3U30emX_6LwNfOPgTTfv8Bv0ycs/s400/035.JPG" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have issues with Sundays. Can't live with 'em, cant live without 'em issues. Early morning is usually spent running errands, trying to give myself the time limit of "Ok, lets get this, this and this done before noon". I do this because I get home and there are millions of other things to do. This morning it was Lowes, Target, and Grocery Shopping. I could think of better things to do and better places to go but we need to get prepped for the week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lowe's was our first stop this morning. Blah! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good trip to Lowe's every so often, but thats in the spring when you walk in the doors and are instantly hit with the smell of plants and dirt. Yes, I like the way dirt smells. To me, it's the epitome of Spring being around the corner just like the way burning boat fuel lets me know that summer has begun (I'm really jones-ing for that smell right about now). And today there was none of that. In fact there were empty shelves and empty aisles. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So as I pushed the cart and followed my K around while he was looking at small plastic parts for something, I have no idea what, I was thinking about how I hadn't posted on my blog for a few days. Then I looked down at our cart and realized that I had a tip to share! I had ran into a friend one day at Target and she looked at my cart and said "What a good idea, I've never thought of doing that" It's become such a habit to me, that I don't think twice when I do it, it just happens. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Buckle your goods in!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAFAd6DLw5uyNhmOt0VXcydlbBbxYKUnlImpf0wvy8jyUfQaE1jS3A-RLfiWrYI0FPyAOc6mW6go19YzgLwZLWR2jls-LAXrA_rCY9OQRY944WODVUBqzNXJyocsEXy2uV84aFUbN5mTo/s1600/2011-01-09_10-59-59_571.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAFAd6DLw5uyNhmOt0VXcydlbBbxYKUnlImpf0wvy8jyUfQaE1jS3A-RLfiWrYI0FPyAOc6mW6go19YzgLwZLWR2jls-LAXrA_rCY9OQRY944WODVUBqzNXJyocsEXy2uV84aFUbN5mTo/s400/2011-01-09_10-59-59_571.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I do this for many reasons:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">#1- I dont want to carry it around.</div>#2- My hands are usually full of other things, coupons, lists, pens, my phone.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">#3- and this is my biggest reason- If someone ever tries to snatch it, it's "Sorry Sucker", they aren't getting away with it! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Back to my case of the Sundays, not always fun days. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Given the snowy and chilly weekend and a possibility of snow during the week I wanted to make a big pot of chilly. One that would suffice for dinner at least two nights and maybe a lunch or two with a frozen batch in the freezer for a Chili for dinner on a whim at a later date. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I spent the afternoon cooking 4lbs of meat, not my favorite thing to unwrap, cut, cook, look at....but I do it. And although I hate the process, the outcome is delish. I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I can make a darn good Chili.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfStqoDJqSQXGIj7sFOonH3K7VGntChBhgfensXbLs95bxJbRujgHUDRRnEkND-5zyRa6oLw9n3bXOw6MYpS_50AYI-vdKXH1XWK472lQGt5KT9iG6Bfuv4SoF8MLe7MAwt2ye1-4Uh2c/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I use this False Alarm Kit and the 2 Alarm Chili Kit. I combine the two and there is a kick but I'm not running for a glass of milk. It gives you all the seasoning you could think of putting in there. Each box is made for 2lbs of meat and all it calls for is tomato sauce and water. This is a great foundation chili because there are so many other ingredients you can add to it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I start by cooking 2 pieces of bacon per pound of meat while sauteing onions, red onions, green/yellow/and orange peppers, a chili pepper and garlic. I mix it all together, saute it a little more then mix it all together and at the end throw in some kidney beans. Yummy! And I'm not even too big of a meat eater but all the flavors really come together and it's irresistibly good.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

You'll always have a special place in my heart when I make it big in blog land. If that ever happens...<br />
<br />
The lucky winner is...Meghann! Yay Meg!<br />
I would like to mention that without Meghann's crochet lessons that one summer Saturday night, these gloves would not even be in existence. Yes, that's right, I'll admit it. I am 30 years old and one of my best summer nights was sitting at Meghann's, drinking wine, and crocheting. <br />
Speaking of my fellow Craft-a-Crator friend ( I just made that word up), I have been meaning to feature her newest venture.....<a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#%21/pages/hodgepodge-paper/110424152315461">HodgePodge Paper</a>. She's an amazing artist and started up a paper craft business with unique and custom designs. <br />
Check out just some of her designs below: Click on them to enlarge.<br />

Bad back and all, I heaved that tree right out the front door myself. I'm still finding pine needles on the floor after multiple sweeps.<br />
For me, one of the most annoying things to take down and put away are the lights and garland but I had a eureka! moment. I know they sell light winders to store your holiday lights, but I wasnt about to run to the store and pick these up, much less pay for them. One of my resolutions is to be more frugal.....we'll see how long that lasts.<br />
I decided to make my own. If there is anything in abundance around any house after Christmas, it's cardboard. Using a box cutter I cut rectangles, made a slit on the top and bottom and made my own light and garland winders! My K pointed out that next year when we string the lights on the tree, it will be that much easier as we can just pass the winder around. Just wanted to share this little idea with you. <br />

A friend of mine was nice enough of drop off some unused beads over the summer (thanks again Lady Diamonds) that she wasn't going to be using. I was warned that there was no rhyme or reason as to how the beads were organized. A few weeks ago, I finally got around to going through the big bag she brought over. I found lots of goodies....measured necklace trays, plastic organizers, and look!<br />

It took a few hours but I sorted through everything. I had plenty of time to think what I wanted to do with all these supplies. I had enough time left over to make one pair of earrings. Stay tuned for more designs!<br />

</a></div>And now it's over. It's a little depressing to me. All that preparation and anticipation and its over like that.<br />
(- Insert snapping sound here-)<br />
Now I look around and wish that everything could be cleaned up and put away. Have a nice fresh start to the New Year. It's on my list of things to do, but probably not today. I have a snow day! Office is closed, my K and I already spent an hour shoveling and I plan on being creative on the couch or up in the craft room. I took a slow drive to snap some pictures. You can feel the cold from them. brrrrrrrrrrrrrr<br />

And a busy one at that. I can usually tell what kind of weekend it was by how many dishtowels there are to wash. Yesterday it was 3/4 of my total towels. <br />
<br />
I mentioned awhile ago that received a delivery of super special pine cones and had some big plans for them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHw-KRGIK8QIxq6XfUSLN_mPQ8yYXgVNGSodNoV9TKB8iVg-cDwwZudJhUv8MEILC1T60PNPKbobLF9oOfIAlQOoYg-eWZNxv9Vlw_OhsziBnXgiURCcOjCPR9ldn9MIv-DCT2B_ZRV6I/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHw-KRGIK8QIxq6XfUSLN_mPQ8yYXgVNGSodNoV9TKB8iVg-cDwwZudJhUv8MEILC1T60PNPKbobLF9oOfIAlQOoYg-eWZNxv9Vlw_OhsziBnXgiURCcOjCPR9ldn9MIv-DCT2B_ZRV6I/s400/001.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I've been seeing glittered pine cones selling from 5.99 and up for a little package! And they aren't as big as these. I refuse to pay money for something I could get for free and jazz up with a little glitter myself. <br />
I spent about $8.00 at the craft store for my supplies using a coupon.<br />
<i>Supplies: Clear Gloss Spray Paint, Tacky Spray Glue, Martha Stewart Gold and White Glitter. I like the Martha Stewart brand better then others. It's a little finer so it doesn't give you the "I decorated this in Kindergarten class" glitter look.</i><br />

My original process to get glitter (which is mixed together at this point in the cup) on these was to spray them with glue, place them on the plate and then spoon the glitter mixture over them. It wasn't covering to well so I ended up just putting the glitter in a resealable plastic bag and shook them around.<br />

Just wanted to post a little something for it is FRIDAY! Already I am waiting for 6 o'clock to hit and I'm off to start a busy weekend. Still some last minute trimming to take care of before the party tomorrow night, last minute Christmas shopping, a little cemetery visit to lay down some blankets, baking, baking and more baking, prepping for Christmas Eve and somehow manage to crochet some more gloves. I must have caught that trend wave right in time. The <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/scribblescrabble44">Scribble Scrabble 44 Etsy Shop</a> has only been open about two weeks and I have sold 12 pairs! Here's a little picture of my busy work. All but one pair in the photo has been sold.<br />

I think the first thing I said to my K, even before good morning, may have been "Are there any schools closed?" because if there were I was dialing the 9-5'er asap to see if that automated message was going to tell me something good. But no, it wasn't enough for a snow day, just enough for the birds to have to shovel their porches to get to their outhouse.<br />

I am going to announce that I have a blog on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/East-End-Walk-Designs/267132393764?v=app_2344061033&ref=ts#%21/pages/East-End-Walk-Designs/267132393764?v=wall">jewelry Facebook page.</a> Maybe this isnt a big deal to you, but to me it is H-U-G-E. If you are reading this, I would first like to apologize for my spelling, my grammar, and my sometimes run on sentences.<br />
<br />
I've been keeping this blog a super secret since I started.....I wanted to see if I would get any followers on its own. Unfortunately, it didn't. So that's why I'm taking it to the big guns...Facebook.<br />
At the time of this post, the only person who knows about this blog is Kevin, and that's only because I showed it to him yesterday morning. <br />
I asked him "So what do you think? You think it's stupid?". You know what I got as an answer?<br />
"No Comment"! Can you believe it? In his defense, he has never read a blog and isn't into crafts or anything that doesn't require a weekly lineup (Fantasy Football, ugh). So it wasn't a big boost to my self confidence when he said that. I was a little upset and started thinking..."He'll be whistling a different tune when I get so many followers that people want to pay me to advertise on my blog. Or when I get free samples to try. Or when I walk down the street with people yelling "Jr. Martha..tell me how to do this, Jr. Martha I love your crafts!", etc. PS- the last part will never happen as 1- thats not my name, and 2- things dont happen like that in Bay Shore.<br />
So anyways, here I go. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow I will actually have some followers.<br />
<br />
Oh- and I finally figured out how to display those Xmas cards! Thank goodness for command hooks. The photo didn't come out to well, but I just used the ribbon I had left over from my banner sign (see post below) and a command hook. I even hid the hole puncher in the garland on the stairs for easy access when more come. <br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Something about the holidays makes me want to wake up early and get stuff done. Yesterday, I woke up a little before 5, did a load of laundry (I finished it, I didn't even leave the dry clothes in the dryer to get wrinkled.), got my lunch together, and crocheted a pair of fingerless gloves. Oh, and was able to order two Xmas presents. Crazy right? And of course I got ready for the 9-5er (which will remain nameless) an hour and a half too early.<br />
It's just something about this time of year, I like being awake early, knowing whats going on in the news, having some "coffee couch time" with the dog. No gas from him today......</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">I've talked about the dog a few times, but I don't think I have mentioned Holly. Or as we like to call her Princess Holly because that's what she thinks she is. To tell you the truth, she should be Hero Holly for all the crickets she has been taking care of in the basement. <br />
I woke up this morning with her on my chest sleeping and purring like a race car. I'm happy that I wasn't too groggy and noticed that it is an unbelievably relaxing feeling. I don't think that I have ever taken the time to just lay there. Im usually up and out. It's amazing what you find when you stop and smell the roses :) </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />

I was just thinking yesterday how I haven't gotten any Xmas Cards yet. I came home and sure enough there was one in the mailbox. I'm trying to come up with a clever idea on how to display them....any suggestions?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thinking of doing a giveaway soon....only thing is I need some followers. Mark my word that once I receive 20 followers, I will do a super cute giveaway. <br />
Stay tuned. and Follow Me !<br />

<br />
Thanksgiving is over and the Holiday rush is on. I'm one who usually shops all year round for Christmas gifts. If I'm in a store and see something that someone would like, I'll pick it up,s a sunny, 85 degree July day, and hope that I wont loose it when the big day actually comes around. I haven't even started...not one single bit.....! Ive been so busy with my newest adventure in crafting.....<br />
<br />
I have been seeing these handmade paper signs around. So on Black Friday, I ventured out to the craft store (three times by the way, good thing it really is right around the corner for me).<br />
I picked up some glitter, ribbon, glue and a holiday themed scrapbook pad of paper. Everything else I already had stored up in the craft room!<br />
<br />

One that sits on my coffee table holding a candle. I used this to trace the squares and used my Martha Stewart (love her!) cutter (I'm sure that isn't the correct name, but its what I'm calling it these days. Each piece came out perfectly as they are uniform in size.<br />

Using this adorable red ribbon, I strung them together and presto!<br />
Disregard the digital thermometer in the center, I have since replaced it with a flame less candle. (see the photo below)<br />

I self diagnosed myself as having crafters A.D.D. So many ideas are circulating around in my head, and I often find myself starting one project then starting another, and another and so on until I have all these half crafted things around my house.<br />
<br />
I thought I would start this blog as a way to "get back to basics" so to speak. Start from the begining, square 1. So, if there is anyone out there reading this, let me introduce you to my wonderful craft room. What it was, what it took to get there and what it looks like today!<br />

Inevitably, it wound up being the room with all the great built in drawers, shelves and closet. <br />

Picking colors, flooring, taking the doors off the closets. My Kevin was nice enough to lay down new floors and paint for me. I only heard the phrase "I cant take this pink anymore" twice. Pretty good, huh? PS- I made sure that only the trim was pink because if the whole room was pink, I would have heard that phrase a lot more often!<br />

But eventually it all came together and viola!<br />

(<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Where-Women-Create-Inspiring-Extraordinary/dp/1402712294/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1290610185&sr=1-1">Take a lookie here!</a> at these inspiring rooms) Not as extravagant as some of the women in these books/magazines, but it's on its way. Now I just need to keep it organized!<br />
