200 Programs

Jill's wedding was this weekend and it was beautiful. And more importantly Jill was absolutely beautiful.  Boy was I missing my honey on our one month anniversary.  But I had a wonderful project last week, I finished all 200 programs and Jill and her mom were happy with them and that's all that mattered to me.

Here are some horrible shots of them with my camera phone.  I will try to take some better ones when my camera gets home.

Jill's Program Part 1 (Troy too)

So my wonderful Jill allowed me to make her programs for her wedding, they have a lot going on these last couple of weeks and don't need this extra work.  I am still antsy after the wedding with the lack of projects in my world.  So this is project is taking care of a whole flock of birds at once. 

So I have cut a 1000 pieces of paper, it only took one season of Bones.  Now its time to assemble.  Hopefully, when I finish these the supplies for my next project will be here.  I am so excited about these next crafts. 

 

Sorry for the bad quality of the picture the camera is with my honey.

Craft Rooms

So I am coming down from my wedding project high.  And so I am in search of finding a project to keep my friends, family and co-workers from killing me. My new husband thought I should start the house search.  I am sick of my commute and I think he’s ready for a change.  One of the wonderful benefits would be having enough space that I could set up a crafts area, an area that wouldn’t require me to sit on the floor or use our dining room table.  There are so many days that I spend more time setting up and cleaning up a project than doing anything productive on the project.   

So of course rather than looking at Realtor.com or one of the other sites I immediately started google-ing all the wonderful ideas everyone has had for their craft rooms.  And as always Martha has one of the best.  (I am sure I will end up sharing lots on my love-hate relationship with Martha.)

I absolutely love how she has tons of work surfaces and there is storage for every type of  and craft items.  I love the color green, I even had a roommate in college who forbid me from buying any more green shirts.  But I think the green would be distracting when building a pallet for a project.  

I really like this one that was posted on HGTV.  It has a great black and white pallet and cabinetry and tables that I think I would be able to do one day.  The table is great, it’s a Pottery Barn find, in case anyone else needs to put it on their Christmas list.  

But until we move I will keep making do with the dinning room table, my Rubbermaid drawer systems and home made ribbon storage (which was super cheap!).
