No Wonder

No wonder I was feeling all grouchy and yucky the other day, I now have a wonderful head cold or something to that effect. I hate it! A sinus headache and congestion is not my idea of fun in the summer heat. What does a person do? Get sleep? Nope not me in this house with 3 kids. Just aggravating because I have NO energy to do anything that I need or want to do. I am constantly thinking of what I want to make next. At least I will never run of of ideas! If you want to see me make something that I haven't talked about drop me a note, I love to try new things!

A new day

This is the day that that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

I keep telling myself this over and over today, trying to have a better outlook. I am tired, I hurt, and I am just plain wore out physically and mentally. Going to plug right along and be happy.

Off to fold some socks, file some papers then...ummmm make something crafty of course ;)

A few of my flower clippies

Please forgive the quality of the pictures, I used my camera on my cell this time until I find the cord to my camera, just wanted to get these posted for now. I have lots of fun making these.

Goals, long term and short or however long it takes.

There are quite a few things that I really really want to make in the near future in the hair pretty department. I am going to post here so for one I can have it all in one place and two, maybe just maybe it will hold me accountable, go ahead and ask me if I get anything done, make me do it! I need to do what I can to help with funds around here and me making things with the resources I already have seems to be the best thing I can do right now. There will be no need at all to go buy anything at all, I have tons of supplies for many many projects!
So here is my list, subject to change of course :)
I need to thank a yahoo group that I am on, freehairbows, for providing me with sooooo much information and motivation!

I love to make the beaded bobby pins so I want to improve on them after seeing lots of new to me links.

(I have more links just can't find them at this second, I will add later)

I am so thankful that people share their talents so openly on the internet. I am really blessed that I can take an idea and make it my own, not trying to sound overly arrogant I just enjoy crafting, make sense? lol Oh I talk myself in a circle...weeeeeeeeee

Know what I was just thinking, I may not be any good at all in my crafts, but I sure do enjoy them!

Need to make up my mind!

Ok... So I have been thinking about what to blog. I see so many really neat blogs that stick to one topic, well, my brain can't as hard as I try lol. So as hard as I will try to stick to art or crafting or making cool and neat things I do believe I am going to wander and probably pretty far :)
Please do give me suggestions, I am so easy to get along with, I really am. I just need and I mean really need to do this blog thing to keep what sanity I do have left, yeap I do believe I may be a tad wacky, after all what creative person isn't, that's me!

I was going through my emails this morning and I belong to a couple of local freecycle groups. I don't really pay that much attention to the emails as I see way too may people begging for unnecessary items. I have given and I have received but today I saw a funny one, well funny to me. I am going to post it word for word, I hope I don't offend anyone but please, I just want to tell this person to go beg somewhere else!
Here she is...
"hi my name is rhonda,im looking for a toddler bed, n a newborn clothes,size shoes 5 up too 7.dvd player with surround sound. vcr, play station-2or 3 with remote, controllers, memory card, n with some games also,with the hook ups that goes with them."
lol my husband, Tom, said it has to be a joke, nope honey, people really do ask for those things! Me personally would never ever ever ask for anything like that, heck we don't even own half of that stuff! Oh well just thought it was funny. Ok, I will try for my next post to be on topic, creative and crafty!
God Bless!
