Week 17

Last night I sat down to crochet for the first time in (GASP!) over a week! What with all of the moving madness, I wasn't able to squeeze in much time last week for any crafting. I did get in a little time last Monday night I think, but I am sad to report I wasn't able to finish anything.
Hopefully I will be able to make up for it this week by making 2 things! In my new craft room! Um, once it gets all set up and organized that is. ;)

Anyhow, sitting down to crochet last night, I slowly felt all of the stress from the last few weeks melting away a little bit. It's amazing how my ability to fit in crafting time into my schedule really affects my mood and stress levels!

The move went well on Saturday, and although we still have a TON of things to finish unpacking, arranging, and decorating, we are absolutely loving the new place so far! So much space, natural light (this one is soo important!), and hardwood floors! Yay!

I will leave you with some pictures of our adorable (and goofy) kitty Brandon enjoying the new apartment ;)

Week 15

After buying the materials and letting them sit around in our apartment for about a month, Brad and I finally got around to assembling our happy spring branches on Sunday!


They turned out really great, and it was a really fun and easy project that only took about a half hour to complete (Glue gun + felt balls + branches = so simple!). Now we just need a pretty vase to put them in! I know they will look great in our new apartment, which we are moving into a week from tomorrow! YAY!
Unfortunately, this means my weekend will be full of packing and cleaning....boo.
I'll make sure to fit in some ample crafting time though. Plus, it will be totally worth it, because come next week, I will have my own crafting ROOM. Whoa!

Week 9

Despite a week that I can only describe as emotionally trying, I still managed to get a bit of work done. In between marathons of Friday Night Lights and searching for a new apartment (yes, we have decided to move 2 months before our wedding....yes, we are crazy), I crocheted, snapped pictures (because it was actually SUNNY and WARM a few days last week), and picked up my knitting needles.

My results: a new hat for the shop and a pair of wristwarmers (actually I made these last week but wasn't able to take pictures due to the dreariness outside)


Although I'm quite stressed out and nervous about the impending move, there is a really bright, shiny, lining! This new apartment has an office! Which means, I will finally get a crafting room/space! I'm already dreaming of ways to decorate it.
I just have to get through the next month and a half of craziness and lots of things to do...but at least I have my motivation now ;)
