Back Again???

I'm a jumble of emotions right now! This morning I was very excited and motivated...not so much anymore. Either way I had some great ideas this morning that I would love to get back to once I'm feeling a bit more up to it. Here's a few things I've been thinking of.
I need to keep a positive attitude on things! I'm good at putting up a front but when I get on here it seems like I'm bummed or complaining over half the time. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE!! I'd rather tell you guys about the fun stuff and concentrate on that.

I need to do a makeover on my shop and update a lot of things (I'm sure my blog could also use a makeover but we'll work on the shop first).

I need to take more pictures!!! I recently replaced my point and shoot because it broke quite awhile ago. Pretty sure I've only used the new camera once or twice and I've had it a couple months. I def need to get more pictures of Milo and myself!

I think I'm putting a lot of grief on the whole house situation and it's very draining and frustrating and it's really getting to me lately. That and the fact that we have less than a month before we have to move now! I already started packing sometime ago and I'm continuing to do so little by little. I'm also trying to clear out old projects (or projects never even started!) it's going pretty good but then I'll see something new and want to do it but don't worry I'm keeping some self restraint! I'm going to try and keep things updated on here (again! Ugh maybe I need a calendar to remind me??). So check back soon! Possibly doing Friday Favorites in the very near future :D

Crazy Busy!

Whew this week/month/year has been way out there and I'm now just realizing it!
I have some bad news and some good news to share with you. Unfortunately the house I put an offer in on went into foreclosure this is both bad and good news, obviously I got my offer in to late but once it comes back on the market we're looking to put the offer in right away. In the meantime I'm still looking at other houses and have found a couple I like (with driveways!!!) I even put an offer in on one yesterday, even though I don't think I'll get it at the price I offered this gives me hope. I'm realizing more and more what I want and what is out there and there's a lot out there so I'm not going to sulk over one that I didn't get.
Right now I have a pink mushroom ottoman up in the shop on sale!!

I love making these guys but I don't have the room for them to take over my apartment.
I have quite a few new styles of plugs in my shop also and even some sales :D
Ever since the beginning of the year I've been non stop busy with orders, house hunting and thrifting. I love it and wouldn't change it one bit. There's a couple more projects I'm going to start on since I'm done with mushrooms at the moment so hopefully there will be some new items to share with you soon.
The weather is warming up and that means estate and rummage sales!!!

Not To Sound Like A Broken Record.....

I know I repeat a lot of the issues I have quite frequently, sorry for that. But.....I really need to figure out how to deal with these things! It seems like I try one thing and it works for awhile and then I either give up, forget or it doesn't work out. Humph. Some of the things I can think of off the top of my head are
Organization! Ahhh this one has always been my enemy! It's getting better but I still have troubles with it.
Doing one project and finishing/sticking to it. Another MAJOR problem. There's soooo many things I start and don't finish or I'll start orders and then go do something else before I finish those and it messes everything up. Some things I'm working on right now-orders (obviously), more mushrooms (Milo won't let me sell the originals), screen printing (I've made many screens but haven't printed them on anything???? Whats up with that!?!) and getting back into sewing just to name a few.
What I think would help most is having a room for my work but the loft I live in is just like a huge hallway with nothing sectioned off. I loved it at first but man now does it suck! Even if I don't want to do work it's staring me in the face and I have to do it. Looking at more houses this week so maybe we'll eventually find something. I'm not sure if I had mentioned before that I put an offer in on one and we're still waiting to hear back about that (if we get it I will be sooooo happy!). Well off to do more work! Have a great weekend!

Wants Fulfilled!

So I will admit I splurged a bit last night, well then again I don't know if I can really say splurge when I only spent $70. Any how last night I got my box of wine and sat down to order my glasses! I ended up getting 3 pairs and a pair of prescription sunglasses all for $60, can't beat that! I can't wait to get them but will have to wait 2-3 weeks :(
Pics to come when they come in the mail!

Things I Want

Right at this exact moment there are a few things I would love to have and I can't decide if I should buy them or not with the possibility our offer on the house going through. I did just get my tax refund back and ALWAYS save it! I never spend it on myself so maybe this year should be different??? Or maybe not, ugh decisions decisions!
Anyway right now I would like

A box of wine!
Things have been....well I can't say hard but frustrating (I suppose) around here lately. I'm over thinking EVERYTHING and it's not doing me any good.

New glasses!
Last time I purchased glasses was a couple years ago from Zenni very very affordable cute glasses! I got two pairs (one that needs to be replaced after stepping on them) and would like more, maybe even some prescription sunglasses :D at $25 a pop I would like to get at least 4 pairs at the moment. That is a justifiable want and I may go ahead and get some....I do kind of need them to see :)

PLUGS!!!
Ahhhh I love love love purchasing new plugs! I recently traded with a fellow plug maker I received them yesterday and they're awesome! I will def be buying some in the near future when I reach my goal size! I would love to get some pairs from Omerica Organic also, there's 3-5 pairs I'm looking at right now. The only problem is I hate buying plugs when I'm stretching up :( and I don't want to purchase some in my goal size and later find out I don't want to go that big/that size doesn't look good on me so I'm downsizing. Soooo that may have to wait....maybe next year :(

Those are the few things on my mind at the moment. I believe I may go out for a box of wine within the next hour or so and possibly order some new glasses later today! What are some of wants???

New Facebook Page!

I set up a new facebook page so I will actually get notifications whenever people comment on items or updates. That was one of the many things that I disliked about the fan pages, that and the fact that I was not able to receive messages. It's all set and ready to go! Please tell your friends! There will be special offers for Facebook fans only at times and one may be coming up soon :D

Soooo I will be putting an offer on a house tomorrow!!! I've been having issues with financing and being self employed (ugh!!) so I'll have to put in a cash offer. It's a short sale and those usually take a bit longer so hopefully I can figure financing out if they accept the offer that way I won't be putting all my money into it right away and i can have some to fix it up a bit. Super exciting! Not sure if I'll get it but I'm actually doing it and step by step getting closer to buying a house! I'll still be looking at others of course but this one would be awesome. It needs a few repairs but nothing big. The roof, electric, plumbing and furnace are all good. There are a few little downfalls about it, first off it stinks! Whew the people that lived there before had larger dogs (there's evidence of it!) so it would have to be cleaned A LOT and the carpet could come out but there's hardwood floors underneath so that's not a problem at all. There's also no driveway or garage :( but one can be put in pretty easily. It has a cute little fenced in yard and a enclosed porch. I won't get my hopes up but just sayin it would be awesome if we did get it! Fingers crossed!!
