Something has come over me the past few days... it feels like I've been infused with some crazy creative energy! It started when I started mapping out what I wanted to do for Matteo's 4th birthday at the end of August. There are so many projects that I want to do BUT I had the major problem of my crafting area being in total shambles. I have my sewing machine set up in a corner of the pantry/laundry room and the area had been taken over with the boys art projects gone awry (anyone need cardboard with random fabric glued on?), laundry baskets of clothes in need of repair or folding, toys that were out of circulation... it was just awful. So I spent Friday night (until 1AM!) cleaning out the area and digging the sewing machine out from under all the clutter. This is what emerged...
... sigh, I can breathe now :) ...
The curtains to the left hide the storage shelves for my crafting supplies
Fiona the Fairy Goddess watches over me and directs me away from acrylic yarn and polyester fabric ;} ...
I haven't done any sewing for awhile, so I wanted to start with something easy to get back into the groove of it. I dug through my fabric scrap stash and found enough pieces to do a fabric bunting.
I also am planning on making Matteo a birthday crown and am anxiously awaiting trim and buttons from Etsy to arrive! There are a few more things that I'm cautiously optimistic that I can get done in time that I'll share as I go along. Hopefully the creative mojo will stay with me and that the crafting gods will smile favorably upon my efforts!
