back from hiatus...






So with all the recent insanity with moving in, getting settled, painting, and my recent job move things have been busy to say the least. I feel like I have been on a bit of a hiatus on this blog since we have been posting our progress on our house blog Home Sweet Split-Level. Home ownership has been a great adventure so far and our plate is full with future and current projects. I want to do it all at once, but that just isn't going to happen! I finally finished my art room last week and it looks great and makes me very happy and crafty. It is a bit bigger than my old art room, the layout is much better too. Did I mention all the nice sunlight it gets being way up there on the front upstairs of the house. Long story short--I love it...it is just what I pictured! In crafty news, I really need to start prepping for ICE and other shows coming up this winter, so I broke out the felt and got to work on a few critters this weekend. I finished a couple more giant octopi and a couple more robots are finished. I also started making some baby octopi which I will show you soon! (That means that octopi now come in three sizes!) I thought they would be great little stocking stuffers and such and they are just so darn cute. I'm also considering adding a hedgehog to the lineup, but I think he needs to be more jazzy than the prototype I made. There is still lots going on with the Craft Mafia and a lot of great events in the works for this fall, so we will have more info on that soon.
