Learn Something New...

Everyday. At least that's what they say. But I feel like it's taking me a lot longer to learn >) Hahaa- okay. It's only been a month since I started sewing. But seriously! It feels like ALOT longer since I'm just reading the dang manual over and over and over again. I keep thinking it's got to get better! RIGHT? So every day is a new day to learn something new. And all I keep learning is that I have no patience!!! I think that's in the manual too...WARNING: Do not operate this machine without PATIENCE!!! AH-HA! Missed that the first time. Well, I'm just going to keep trying. No machine will get the best of me! hehee.



This layout was created without any adhesives. Yeah. No biggie I guess. But still, I always use a TON of adhesive- so this is a cheaper route ;) More $$$ for Starbucks!!! Woot! What is big is that this was my submission for the 2nd round for SISTV call for Fashionista's DT. Oh. My. Goodness. No joke. I made it through to the NEXT ROUND!!!! WHat???? Yeah- I'm in shock too. Go figure. Lately, more than anything, I've just needed to scrap. I hadn't scrapped since Jan! Well, if you count Sarah's Class then maybe. I can't explain my "style". Except that I'm addicted to learning to sew and well, it's so nice to play again. Yes Mr. Mojo. I like you. Come back to play soon k? -muah!

Let's { see }

Today I won some cool stamps from the sweetest Fashionista Michelle.
Man that was cool. TOTALLY unexpected. my little tags won! Hooray! I really like getting some *happy* mail.



The above tag is one I just pitter pattered with yesterday. (you can find it here) An old magazine, lots of pink thread and some time=mojo. Thanks MR.Mojo. Ya rocked.


And while I was rockin' around my studio, I made this little lovely. A special Manly V-Day card for my Mr.Handsome. (You know who you are ;)
Note to self: FINISH SOMETHING on your TO-DO list :)

I might be old fashioned

but I LOVE this. sigh... I just love the look of vintage damask wallpaper. I found this at Target and had to have it. It's light, it's pretty to look at and I'll wear it forever. xoxo

Playin'

Just recently finished taking a class with SIS Fashionista, Sarah Bowen called "Alterations". I am a changed woman. Seriously.
I hadn't broken out my watercolors since college. And that was to far back to count. Well, not really-still. It's been a while.
And you know, I'm so glad I took this class. Sara is amazing. She's super creative. Totally inspired me on so many levels. So this is my favorite of them all. Only four- totally make it sound like it's been months or something. But still, in just 4 lessons, I feel a surge of creativity! And dang, that feels so nice. What ALSO feels nice is not having to do any of this for a grade. SCORE! But I give myself a nice pat on the back and maybe a high 5 via a tall cinnamon dulce frap.from Starbucks tomorrow. WOOT!
ps:Never going to play Unwritten ever again. Played the song WAAAAAAY too much while creating the collage. And both my iPOD and I refuse to play it again. No joke. ;) and a huge TO-DO: CREATE SOMETHING & HAVE FUN.
