So...it's been awhile....

Life gets in the way of updating this lovely little blog.  However, I am going to try and post all of my craftiness from the past 2 years.  Lots of changes - new blog name.  New home and a new baby - within a month of each other - doesn't leave much time to sitting down at the computer to blog.  My little one is 13 months now and I feel like I have a better handle on how to multi-task.  Plus, it doesn't hurt that he can entertain himself for small increments of time.  If I begin to slack comment and tell me to get back to work!  Sometimes you just need to hear that someone misses you. :)  To follow are some items that I have worked on!

Signage for our entry! Burlap is amazing!
