A teeny bit of organizing and a little crafting too!

Hello :) hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I have a doctor appointment this morning so decided to get up extra early for some coffee and computer time before Savannah and the dogs get up. Sunday, Dave actually had an entire day off which was great! It has been a long time. It was just the three of us which was very different and very quiet, lol. Last night, we went and got some groceries. I was soooo happy when we saw grilling items, winter clothes on clearance and new spring clothes! We even saw an Easter baby bib :) So nice to see after all the wintery items. And it is bitter, bitter cold here, so it was also nice to see that everyone is getting ready for spring. Their were of course lots of super cute Valentine items too :)

I love Valentine's Day because you can keep a lot of the decor out year round. Hearts are something that is seasonless and everyone loves them :) And of course I got married February 16th :)

I worked on a couple new Valentine items for my shoppe and wanted to share them. I am so thankful to the wonderful response I have had on my Valentine items!



I did a couple of card/tag/ornaments last week. This one is so pretty with the white and lavender. Their is just something about those two colors together that is so spring like.

This one is done with a vintage crochet doily for the base:)

I got this awesome shelf for Christmas. I just love it, it is nice and big and so perfect for organizing some of my crafting supplies! I have been wanting to get more organized so my things are easier to find, lol. I put all of my go to items on here, the things I use on almost every project. I have more to add but have a pretty good start.
Not only is the shelf useful, but so pretty too! It is a yummy chippy distressed mint green with pink peeking through.
Here you can see the colors better and oohhh how I love beadboard! So cottage cute :)
Here it is with some of my items on it.
All nice and organized :)

I filled mason jars with some of my vintage millinery flowers :) One of my very favorite things :)
Such pretty, happy colors :) I have a lot more but for now, these are what I have finished and ready to use :) It took me forever just to pluck them from their hats :)
Pretty powder blue roses with velvet centers. My favorite ones :) And a mason jar full of clothespins ready to be embellished.
Some of my favorite laces in an aqua sewing machine drawer :)
Buckets that I made look pretty :) These are filled with some ribbons and trims.
Cute correspondence :)
Cuppycake bucket full of more supplies :) Their is a lot more room on here to add more items but for now, this will do. I am taking my time with it. I want it to be pretty as well as useful. It just motivates me more to have everything looking pretty, lol.

I am still working on my diet! I have been doing pretty good. Last night, I bought lots of fresh fruits and whole grains. Also my Vanilla Almond Special K :) That is just the best cereal! I must have that and Yoplait light thick and creamy key lime pie yogurt! They are both sooo good and taste like you are being bad, lol. I am trying to lose ten pounds and Dave is trying to gain 20, lol. What a funny pair we are. I wish I was trying to gain, lol. Lucky guy. I met Dave when I was in fifth grade and he was in eighth. And he is about the same weight he was then, lol. He looks exactly the same. We both still get carded at the bar, so I guess that is a good thing. I like being told I look 20 now that I am "middle aged", lol. I used to hate being told I look young. But now I find it flattering. I just want to be one of those mom's that always stays up on the styles and trends. You know what I mean? I guess I just dont want to grow old. But no one does. Dave and I are both metal heads though, still listening to Metallica and all the hair bands. Our kids make fun of us for listening to "old" music. I cant believe that music is considered old! But I do like some of todays music like Lady GaGa, Eminem and my most favorite song is In My Head by Jason Derulo :) It is my song to Dave. But I'm still not giving up my hair bands, lol. Okay, I got waaayyy off course here, lol. Anyway....
Have a great week and thank you so much for visiting me! Hugs ~ Amy
