The morning so far...

Thus far I have spent the morning trying to find ways to save some money around here. The kids and I are working on coming up with a menu calendar, eliminating many of the prepared items we have purchased in the past and coming up with some new ideas for meals (both lunch and dinner if anyone has suggestions!) We'll be planning our grocery trips better (not so many impulse buys from the little people) and I might try doing the Peapod order again for some things that are on sale each week.
I also need to work on planning Bubba's birthday party - and find out who is planning to attend Mimi's Dance Recital next month - and the list goes on... now to work on cleaning up the kitchen so I can hopefully do some crafting this afternoon - we'll see how that goes!

The Pettiskirt Creation!

Just playing with images from Picasa to move over here if/when I get some fun stuff made!

Here goes nothing!

Not sure if I'll get a grasp of this blogging thing - but since so many of my friends are doing it, I thought I'd at least give it a try. I'm hoping to get better at it and share my craftyness with the world (or maybe just my little corner of it?)!

I'm going to attempt to update about my sewing projects and especially about my attempts at organizing and setting up a great sewing area!! This will involve making lots of changes around the house and getting rid of LOTS of CLUTTER! My hope is that the summer brings a plethora of changes around here and I can become the crafting DIVA I always wanted to be!!

If all goes according to plan (and we all know how that tends to work out) I'll be able to spend time creating some crafty tutorials to share and I might even be able to get my Etsy shop up and running again! It's difficult to keep a shop running when you have no time to create!

Wish me luck!
