lazy days

The last couple of days have been lazy days, I have had no desire to do anything. I think it maybe has to do with the fact the house was disastrous when I got back and I finally got it back in shape last week, and now it needs another cleaning. I hate how I am so anal about cleaning and having things well organized, I hate clutter. If I have clutter anywhere in my bed room I have to fix it or I will not have a good nights sleep. I have some major news that is going to change my life for the better but I can't leak it out just yet, not until everything lines up. So in an effort to save money to get said better life I have been obsessive about furniture, a few of my favorites are:
Safari Siena Chair from Home Decorators Collection I know animal print might seem a bit on the tacky side but I think this chair would be glamorous in a craft room.






















I will have this for a craft table! This one is also from HDC with another pretentious name, it's called Hampton Bay Work Station. This sucker is $649.00 which I know is kinda steep but look at it! I love love love the bun feet.















Another item that would be absolutely perfect for displaying fabrics and kitchy items would be stackable lowboys similar to these found on HDC, again I love the feets on this collection! Stacked on the top of the solid lowboy...







































I want something similar to this set for a living room

















I have furniture in storage, most of what I have is hand-me-downs. I don't want to be wasteful, yet I don't want to try and reupholster it either, me+staple gun=accident waiting to happen. So I will probably end up asking family members if they need anything and pass it back around or just donate it to the salvation army. Either way I am hoping our plans will line up, until then I am pinching my pennies, crossing my fingers and toes.

The best present ever

So last post I was telling you all about my b-day present from Gabe, and proof men do listen (when they want to) when you talk about crafty things...

The whole lot



He got me a Sizzix big kick...eee...You would of thought "he went to Jared" ( I know my puns are lame) when I saw these goodies all layed out for me!

Now time for some closeups!




1.Felty goodness
2.Hello Kitty die cuts- I seriously love everything Sanrio
3. Multiple die cuts
4. Fabric quarters and zippers :-D

Second part of this post- why all of my "people" pictures from my trip are in black and white... The walls in my room are stark white, so to liven up the walls a bit I bought 6 unfinished wooden frames from the Dollar Tree
and I did this to them:



The finished effect:


I love how they came out but I want to do about four more for the same wall. The picture I took came out really dark since I took it at night they don't look as bright as they do during the day.

lots of pictures from my trip!

As promised here are a select few of the pictures I tool during my stay in Florida. Originally I was only supposed to be there for a week but issues arose so I ended up staying through my birthday. We had a nightmare trip back up though, the friggin car broke down 3 miles from home at a service station and it was a bajillion degrees hot, I had oysters on ice in the back seat for my dad that had to stay iced or they would of been raunchy.... 2 hours later and the car was running again and I saved the oysters... First set of pictures up is from my birthday bash number one. I have never been drunk in my whole adult life so on my b-day I got wasted and I didn't puke. I had 6 bay breezes, 4 shots of hot damn, 1 jagerbomb, 1 mind eraser (which is a shot for 3 people) and to top it all off I had two draft beers.

This is me at the beginning of the night.


This is me at the end of the night.... I could barely keep my head up!

On to my second birthday bash (the rest of the pictures I took from the night above are so terrible looking :) I'll spare you all...) which was held after my birthday, my mom wanted to wait until Gabe got there to have my cake and what not.



My itty bitty sister :)




Gabriel





Katie and I

My step-dad shucking oysters



Gabe, his double chin and me.

Happy Birthday to meeeee ( I am 24 as of 4/23)
mmm oysters on the grill!

Me, Katie, and Mama
Now on to just random shots from the places I went.



eep!



Lady bug on the beach




This turtle is so creepy looking, I had to get up close to him too.



Funny story about this, we went crabbing and were out there all
day and this is all that was caught (snagged)! The orange is the lure.





Tree roots



I love this shot I wish I could of got closer.



This is why I miss Florida so much.





St. Marks light house
Overall my trip was relaxing and super fun... I have tons more pictures and I still have to show you all what brilliant Mr. Gabriel gave me for my birthday ( it proves that men really do listen, when you go on a tangent about craft stuff)... You will want one once you see! I'll show in my next post. You also might notice that all of my people pictures are in black in white, I had craft reason in doing so and that over rules all weirdo ideas I might have. The project I had in mind is complete, which I will bundle in the next post :)
ciao
