what i've been up to...

basket making...

baskets for christmas presents

i love how these tags turned out!  this is the first scrap-booking i've done a home in a LONG time :)

crocheting...

crochet is fast! and baby hats are even faster!

i went to go see a friend i used to work with and her cute little baby.

so photogenic! 

this was the first hat i have made that has 'holes' (for lack of a better word).  i love how delicate it turned out.  and the flower just topped it off!

not to mention, she looked so cute in it!

organizing and rearranging...

this a new desk john picked up at work.  where is the desk?  can you see it? :)  yeah, it will reappear soon!

my craft closet - before

not too bad, i know.  but it will be better.  and cute!

  i'm not done yet, but here are a few sneak peaks of fun things i've done...

fun organizing boxes

i didn't want to go buy all sorts of organizing boxes, so i used the many shoe boxes i have kept over the years. wrapped them in paper and put tags on them.

yay!  no more digging through tupperware containers to find a pencil or marker.

everything is just a little more organized in a more stylish way...the final pictures will be posted soon.

 i have also been...
knitting (learning how to make socks).
wrapping presents (i was done shopping two weeks ago!).
reading.
cleaning.
puppy training.
only working three days a week (oh man, how did i ever work 40 hours!)
crafting with friends.
watching movies with my man.
spending time with family.
how much better can it get?!

oh, well, Christmas is in exactly one week!
