Hey everyone!
Sorry we've been absolutely rubbish about keeping you updated! Let me try to catch you up on why we've been absent from online! We haven't forgotten or given up on Zoe Cara... She's just had to slip a little lower on the to do list. More on that in a bit. Rebecca has some fabulous projects in the works, but isn't sure yet how to finish them. If we ask nicely she might give us some sneak peeks!
Rebecca had gotten her nursery all adorable and her craft room nicely set up, when they decided they wanted roommates! The first lovely couple wasn't able to move in due to technological issues, but I suggested my fabulous friends Emily and Trisha (check out Emily's etsy shop 104 Jewelry!). So the next several weeks were spent doing a giant reorganizing shuffle, now Rebecca's craft room is consolidated into her closet, and a book case in the living room, and the nursery is in Rebecca and her hubby's room. Don't worry, there is plenty of space for them to share!
So now the dust has settled, but my gorgeous and precocious goddaughter (I'm biased, but complete strangers walk up all the time and say how pretty she is!) has just reached the crawling/almost walking stage and needs almost constant supervision, which has made craft time an endangered species for Rebecca! Currently most of her creative juices are being used to help her daughter play and learn and develop and she's doing a fantastic job so far! Hopefully as they get a routine established Rebecca will be able to get a little more craft time in.
And what have I been doing? Juggling! Not bowling pins or bouncy balls, but working 5-6 days a week, going to two different churches, spending time with family, teaching an ASL one day, helping in a 1st grade math class another day, helping Trisha and Emily get settled in, helping Becca get prepared for them to move in... It's been great but hectic and on the rare occasions when I have a few hours to myself, I hide and veg! However! School is out! Or almost out atleast! And that will help open up my schedule quite a bit actually!
I still won't be able to start crafting right away because of the"Big Two Projects."
Project 1. Make a wedding dress for my manager at work. (I gave her her own board on our Pinterest!) She is having an informal family only beach wedding in July and wanted something very simple in design, not floor length, but still made out of white lace and ribbon etc ;-). I'm excited and nervous! I've made fully functional and wearable and even cute clothes before, but not spent much time working with lace! So bring on the practice scraps and bring in the google!
I promise to show lots of pictures as I go along!
Project number 2. "The Great Room Swap". It started on my birthday. My mom asked "are you sure...." And our entire summer got taken over! But that will have to wait for the next blog post!
Hope everyone is enjoying the green spring and not suffering too terribly from allergies!
