Happy New Year!

Made from Scratch: Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life
My current read....Happy New Year to Me!


















It's been quite some  time since my last post.  As the year came to a close, my list of to-do's multiplied exponentially!  My life was like a roller coaster out of control and it affected every second of my waking hours.  My husband and kiddos can attest to that and to the fact that my busyness affected every second of their waking hours too.  Of course, all the items on that to-do list were not all self imposed, but they made it to the list nonetheless.

Back to the Creation Station!
















We've nicknamed the formal dining room - turned workshop the Creation Station.  I'm not sure who came up with the name, but it's a name that was given to my old scrapbook table in one of our former homes.  It kind of has become the nickname for my work room or work table wherever it may be.  So today, for the first time in a few weeks, I was back at the Creation Station working on several projects.  Some of them are for the house, some to be given as gifts, and some will go up for sale in my Etsy shop.  I don't have any pictures of finished products for you just yet, but I thought I would post a couple of sneak peek photos just to get you guessing.

Katie's Jewelry Holder

My daughter moved into her new apartment this month.  This will be her last college apartment as she is finishing her studies this year.  Whenever our grown children move into a new apartment or home, I try to make something for them.  Here's a picture of a stretched canvas I used to create a piece of wall art that can also be used as a necklace holder.  The "K" is for Katie!
