it's finally here....


Everything has been super crazy recently and tomorrow is finally the big day.....closing day on our house! Boxes are packed, some of the paint has been purchased, and we have been brainstorming future plans like crazy. We can't wait to take Pizmo-dog there after the closing tomorrow so we can see what she thinks. I think she will love it, and so will we. Look for an all new blog soon about the trials and tribulations on our venture into home ownership!


In the meantime, I can't wait to unpack my art room and start sewing some felties again. I am so excited about my sunlight-filled art room! I'll post pictures as I set it up.


We can't wait to be home sweet home tomorrow!

new developments...

Something fabulous happened last weekend and I am just so excited about it! The founding girls from the ATL Craft Mafia asked me to join them as a founding member! Of course I said YES! These ladies are just the best and work so hard for our organization, I was already proud to be a member and now I'm super proud to be a founding member. Thank you ladies!

If you haven't already joined please check it out. It is a great opportunity to meet other crafters in Atlanta, make contacts, sell your craft, and ultimately grow your indie business and besides all that it is just plain fun!

a few new critters...








My efforts in packing aren't going so well....instead I seem to be diverting my attention to all things octopi. I have made about 10 since last week! I'm also trying out a bigger, more huggable size that turned out really great. I made my first owl in a long time, which is funny since that is essentially what fattycakes started with. I love how it turned out and I think I will add it my list of critter inventory. Here are just a few pictures of the new critters. Things seem crazier and more hectic than ever with all that is going on and I am just trying to hold on for the ride. I am so ready for the relief of closing on the house. I know I will feel a ton better when that is done with (then the fun can start.....decorating!)
