Crazy tired

That would describe me to a tee. Oy. I just finished working on Billy's room...I gave up for the night. I'm so tired. I didn't get much sleep last night. Billy fell asleep around 7 or 8pm and woke up a little after 10 and wouldn't go back to bed without his cup. He was screaming. He only fell asleep early because I had to wake him up yesterday morning to go pick up his Dad. Yep, Clark is home and he has slept better than me. :) So instead of trying to nap this morning..I started reading up the house. My Dad will be here tomorrow night for a few days. That works out good for Billy and I.....Clark and Jr are heading to TimeGate on Friday for the weekend. I would have been carless....one of the reasons I shut the store down for a little bit. I did get a few things made for the shop this week. Twenty eight to be exact...four of each color, seven colors. I've always wanted to make little inspiration kits...I know....everyone does them. But I am so inspired by the sweet, little kits that Julie Collings makes...I won't ever be on her level, but I wanted to make some kits. So I finally did....they consist of five pieces of textiles in a certain color palette and there are buttons, trims and millinery as well. I like how they turned out. I managed to clear some room on the table I work on thanks to that. :) I had to get to my cutting pad. I unearthed some vintage cupcake tins that I painted. So that is one thing I want to work on next...after the little Alice kits I'm working on.....those have vintage Alice in Wonderland pages, playing cards and a chess piece....I'm hoping to add some trims and other fun bits in red, black and white. I had to stop working on shop items...husbands who come home from the field like some attention. :) I guess that is it for the night..I'm bushed and really thirsty. :) I did get a small trip into Michaels and Hobby Lobby today....I needed a few things for things I have up my sleeve. One of them involves a Pink Persimmon stamp I just ordered...I met Judi (she and her sister, Darcy, run the business together) at Silver Bella last year....she is so nice and their stamps are so cute. I can't remember the link....I'll look it up and post it later. Michael's is a dangerous place...I gouged myself getting a acrylic block for said stamp. Ouch and yuck...I bled. I don't like to bleed. :)

  1. I love to make these little kits too, I made some with the one world one heart give away. BTW Vanessa Valencia of 'my fanciful twist' is having another Mad hatters' tea party this year, That might be THE occasion to promote your Alice kits, maybe do a little give away and reopen your shop. Ha I'm always thinking for other people, sorry, I even don't have a shop :-{
