Mojo On!

I'm having a ball with my new booth, "La Tee Da" at Angel's Antiques! I have stifled my creative side for the past 8 years (since AA was born) , but I've felt a need to satisfy this creative yearning that has moved in and taken over! I've been without my camera (long story) for a few days, but I've got it back and will post pics tomorrow of what I 've been doing. But I just decided that I'll take a picture of my dining room just to prove how hard I've been working. Fabric, trim, two sewing machines, paint, glue, scissors...you name it, it's in there. The greatest thing about my dining room is that it can be shut off from the rest of the house. So I can just shut the door and no one knows that it looks like a bomb went off in the next room.


I sew at night after the kids have been tucked in. I can't get to sleep at night because my mind is "on", thinking of things to make and sew. I am in love with the cutest-ever puppy appliqued pillows! I can't wait to show them to you. It makes me want to have another baby (a boy!) so that I can decorate a nursery with a puppy theme. Don't worry...I know better.


I have been hitting the thrift store every day, looking for something that I can turn into "something special." It has been a ton of fun. For those of you who are familiar with Auburn, Heartstrings closed and donated everything that they had left (displays, merchandise, etc) to the thrift store next to K-Mart. We drove by the thrift store today and I heard Sunshine say to herself, "I love that store." Great...I'm sure her dad will love that!


So here are some pictures of my dining/work room and also a picture of the chair I bought yesterday for $5. ( I have a feeling it was a display at Heartstrings).


Have a great day!


Thanking God today for this creative energy that has "got me going" and for my dear friend who encouraged me to do this!
