I want the Go (speedy) part of my life back








I HATE transitional periods. I hate the I am have been "going to" move or that my husband was "going to" get a job or that I am "going to" have a baby. I have been in almost 8 months in transition. I want things settled. Well, todays I pretty good day for that. No waiting. Dave got a job on the 2nd and we are moving today. Just need to wait for the baby to be born now. I feel so bored being pregnant. I don't do anything on my own because if I miscarried or got hit by a car it would destroy me. So I sit in this apartment. I am a person who needs to be out doing things. I really need to change this mindset of being scared all the time about totally irrational things. I had done a really good job but than there were people who bitched about how this or that was dangerous, when its just because I am a woman. I just feel extra vulnerable right now. I think once the baby is on the outside I may worry a little but I will be more brave because I will be much more able to defend me and little Molly alot better. I won't raise my baby to be scared of anything. The Fearless Molly LOL.



Okay onto Crafts I have done...


This is my design for Gladys the Goat, she's almost done... she needs eyes still.



This is the quilt I have been working on for Molly... Its very simple and there are tons of mistakes but w/e


This is my first origami grocery tote. I used them once already at Henry's.


Second, Grocery Tote.


I favorite Tote bag design. I wish I had made them all like this! Bag three...



This is the half sized tote bag. And the fourth tote... its the wine or egg tote bag.

I am totally on a origami crane kick right now everything is origami crane! For my birthday I went to color me mine and painted a bowl for Molly and Dave painted a coin bank for her. It was so much, I think Dave and I are definitely gonna do it again. I will post before and after pictures on here around the 7th because that when we are suppose to pick them up. Very excited. I had a wonderful birthday and the day after was a great celebration with my family.

I sent a postcard to postsecret but it still hasn't been published :(... it was a very good one too. I think the mail man steals them or something. The mail man hates me :-(....

I am have such a slacker lately...

The reason I haven't added anything is I have been really lazy in the taking pictures of stuff and of course the actually making of it. But about the weekend of the 18th of this month I am having a friend come visit me and we are gonna craft it up!!! LOL...

Origami Crane Doll


It sounds a whole lot easier than it is. I am going to make an origami crane doll. Well this is to start. I want to make a crane mobile for my baby. I have a mobile pattern but before I go and do that I want to practice making the doll. I have drawn out a very... very simple design. Hopefully it'll work. Each fold in a finished origami crane will be represented by decorative stitching. OMG I hope the first design works!!! I love origami cranes. There is nothing more elegant and lucky! I am a little scared to start this with good fabric because. its a test but if it turns out great I have an ugly fabric origami crane that it perfect. Then I'll make the next on and it'll be horrible! my luck LOL!

Bun Skull Strikes Back!

I finished my third owl

and strawberry and asparagus

and the greatest creation!!! (Bun Skull)

My husbands idea to cut things much bigger than I wanted them made it perfect size. I LOVE HOW THIS BUN SKULL CAME OUT!!! He's my fav.

OMG I WAS AFK LOL

I guess it is just pure laziness that I haven't been doing this everyday. I have the time sure enough. I have just been discouraged with the sewing and such. I realized now what my mistake has been. I am cutting all the dolls to the size I want them to be and when they get sewn they become quite smaller, of course! It took a couple dolls to realize that. I have finished quite a few things though. I finished a quilt... more of a very thick quilt, an owl set in now complete (though I may make one more now), and and elephant was done long ago.

I am working on my veggie and fruit set still... old man strawberry is almost done. I have taken up some newer hobbies too. Which is why I might be distracted from this blogging business. I started reading a book well three books actually... I am not super mobile as of late. The fountainhead, There is a (slight) chance I am going to hell, and Slaughter house five. Each suited to the mood I am in. I also started baking more. Mostly muffins, a nice snack you know, already made or a quick breakfast. I had made these really good raspberry muffins and we ran out of those so I made peach cobbler muffins (very good!). I also opened a flick r account and am obsessed with that slightly. I went to the mall yesterday to take pictures and alas... I never did. I got side tracked with how tried I was and hungry. Oh well!


All this talking about food and sewing... I am gonna grab a muffin and try some new Larger patterns!!!
