My Crafty Side is possibly coming out.


I've never thought of myself as a crafty person. I don't really have the patience for it and I'm not super detail orientated. BUT this past February my mom and good friend Wendi came to visit. We discussed ideas for my guest room as I have had an itch to redecorate it for some time now. Well they got me going and now I am making it my spring project. I'm not rushing to get it ALL done it one weekend, but Im working at it slowly. . .letting my creative side guide me. HA this is a big step for me as I am usually a get er done type of person. So far we've painted most of the room a vibrant teal and white (two walls left). Pete surprised me and painted a big stretch this past weekend while I was at work. Im also trying to revamp things I already have such as covering lamps with new fabric and moving vases and pictures around. I'm also collecting letters for the wall in all different shapes and sizes to spell "SLEEP TIGHT" over the bed.

I was at the fabric store today picking out fabric and letters and realized just how fun being crafty and creative is when you have the time for it. I start the night shift this week and will be staying up the night before my first shift of every week to get myself switched over to the right sleep schedule. I figure to keep myself awake-I will save painting and projects for the middle of the night. So while most of you are tucked tight in bed, I will be crafting away. I am going to repaint a mirror tonight. Cross your fingers for me that I stay patient and send any crafty ideas or projects my way. I have a feeling I may be needing more inspiration soon. . .;)

  1. Sounds adorable Mags. My craft addiction also started in the middle of the night...I was pregnant and couldn't sleep for hours on end so it's a good time to get something done! Good luck!
