30 Day Challenge: Day 12

Day 12: A Picture of Your Day.

This is a picture of my office, where I spend 8 hours (or more) a day, five days a week.  I love my job, but there are definitely times where I wish I could afford to stay home with my baby all day, but until that time, (or they move my office again...) this will be where I spend my week days between the hours of 7am and 4pm.

30 Day Challenge: Day Eleven

Day 11 - A picture of you and your friends.
(yes i know i skipped a few days, but those were boring, and i didn't get time to get on to post)




some of my friends from the last concert we went to last may (i was 6 months pregnant or so here, it was the day after my birthday!)

30 Day Challenge: Day Eight

Day 08 - Short term goals for this month and why.


Wellllll If we go by the rest of this month (being that its the 28th) I would say I still want to finish some awesome pot holders, at work, I've been jotting down ideas like crazy, i just keep thinking of some cool things to do.    If we go by the next 30 days concept of "this month"  I want to finish making a birthday gift for a lucky 1yr old, i want to try and get my Etsy shop up and Running, and i want to do some serious blogging (and working on tutorials to come) that seems like a good goal, wouldn't you say??

but this weekend's plan?
1) bang out AT LEAST 3 more cute pot holders.
2) start Tyler's Birthday Present
3) work on the Burberry inspired dress I have dancing around in my head
4) Look into making some cute crib bedding and a bed skirt for the little girls bed
5)make some cute checkbooks and matching change purses and coffee cozies

30 Day Challenge: Day Seven

Day Seven: A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

My Daughter is my inspiration for everything.  She changed my life in more ways than any other person and I wouldn't give it back for anything.

30 Day Challenge: Day Six

Day Six: A picture of the cast from your favorite show

I'm pretty much obsessed with several TV shows... but by far, i find myself involved more in this show than any, (though i'm a huge "Grey's Anatomy" and "Gossip Girl" fan too)

30 Day Challenge: Day Five

Day Five: A Picture of Somewhere... You've Been To.

This is the vew from the top of a pretty high mountain I climbed in the process of GPSing for work in October of 2008.  Its a little town (mostly farmland for raising cattle) about an hour out of a bigger (still TINY) called Craig, CO i was there for a month and every day was an adventure.  This place was beautiful.  when we got up there, after basically rock climbing the entire way up, we decided to take a break and enjoy the scenery.  Every time I look at this place I smile.

30 Day Challenge: Day Four

Day Four: A habit that you wish you didn't have.
(As you can tell I don't have internet at my home because its wayyyy to expensive for its own good, like 80 a month for me to have internet at my house, so I’m going to be picking up today) 

I would like to call my bad habit, proCRAFTination, well it should be more like not just for crafts, but for any sort of project in general.  Sometimes I get my mind set on doing something be it sewing a new bag to rearranging my living room, and I have to do in right then.  I may skip a meal to do it, I may not get to bed until 3am... but I have to finish it.  Sometimes I should be doing other things like cleaning my kitchen/bathroom or paying attention to my husband, but until I get it done, those things are on the back burner for me. 

30 Day Challenge: Day Three

Day Three: What you would find in my bag. 

sewing patterns (i know, who does that???)
pens
wallet
check book
eye drops
glasses
medicine
hand sanitizer
tea bags

30 Day Challenge: Day Two

Day 02 - The meaning behind your Facebook status
"ugh, i'm starting to hate winter... and the cold... mostly the cold..."

This is a picture of my drive way.  Yeah, those things to the right of the picture... my mailbox/news paper box.... this snow is ridiculous.  That snow is up to above my waist!!! I wish it was the fall again :(

30 Day Challenge: Day 1

Day One:  A picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.

It’s really HARD to find a semi-recent picture of myself alone! so I just chopped the photo)

1) Every one tells me how artsy I am and unique, and that my career does not match my personality, by day I'm a mild-mannered safety manager for a defense contractor, by night I’m a crafting mamma.  People say (for lack of a better definition) my job is "boring" and I’m "exciting".

2) It has always been my dream to live (for at least a short time) in Los Angeles.

3) I could sleep for 14 hours with no problem- Pre-baby, I spend all day on Sunday in bed watching TV, and I loved it.

4) I would love to lose weight, but I just like the foods that are bad for me too much to quit them.

5) I have a story for EVERYTHING... I'm like an old man.  (Ahhhh, that reminds me of this one time.....)

6) I am the most random person EVER.  My friends joke that they can say something and I will randomly come up with a new thought.  I’ve realized it’s because my brain links things (this reminds me of that, which reminds me this, which reminds me of that, etc) so quickly that I say something and people are like "what?” 

7) Before I met my husband, I never really thought of myself as someone that would have kids (and my friends would say I wasn't even the type to have a serious relationship).

8) I LOVE sewing and crafting and such... and I’m really good at it.  I think it is because I’m such a perfectionist.

9) Before I had my daughter, I was very big into music and went to lots of concerts.  Though for the music I like, I’m getting a little old to attend the concert (think average age of 16 at these shows haha)

10) Speaking of music, I can seriously hear a song once and memorize the lyrics.  It boggles my husbands mind.  I'll just start singing it in the car... which is another story because I’m a HORRIBLE singer... but when I’m alone in the car its my favorite thing to do.

11) I wish that I could afford to be a stay at home or work at home mom.

12) I've always wanted to blog, but I’ve never known what to blog about...

13) Back in high school, I used to have loads of friends, since then I’ve pared down to just a few.  I like it better this way.  It might sound selfish, but it takes too much time to maintain relationships with too many people once you don't live in the same city any more.

14) I feel like I moved to the snow capital of the USA.  It seriously started snowing in October and last year didn't stop until almost May... I’m not even kidding.

15) I have a serious addiction to fabric.  I could spend small fortunes in Joann's every time I take a trip there.


Well that’s Day one.  Day Two tomorrow!!!
