First couple of ferret bedding things done. (Pic heavy)

This is the bedding I made for the top cage, where the 2 teenage ferrets reside.

"Mom, you cleaned our room again!  Yuck!"

Notice the litter on the fleece flooring?  That is why I have to take pics before they get in.  5 seconds in and already messy.  Boys!?!

The cage.  You can kind of see the bottom cage set I started.  Dragons and Flames.  Cool!

Ignore the messy living room.  I have a teenager living with me you know.

Pieces I made and then decided to sell.  You should see their bedding stash.  Let's just say, they have a 30 gallon tote full of it.  Nothing matches though, so I NEEDED to make a set.  Lol.

One side.

Other side.

Both together.  This was made with 100% cotton Quilting Squares.  The red fabric was a little larger, so I cut off the extra and made loops to hook the binder rings to.  Each square of fabric cost about $1

Matching Napkin Hammocks.

Showing the back side.  This is only 1 layer with eyelets in the corners to put binder rings through.  These were from Kmart, I believe, for $2/pair.

Matching Placemat Hammocks.  Once again, eyelets in each corner to hook binder rings through.

You can see the backside here.  These were bought at a thrift store for $1.99/pair.  Nice heavy cotton fabric on both sides.

Even my son is crafty.

My son sewed this pouch to hold his new dice set.

**Notice the red embroidery**

Gift card he made with flowers he pressed.  Flowers are from my garden.

Baby gift

Ok. 3 down, 1 more to go. Cyndi is having a girl, so my boy stuff is done and I can do pink stuff. I was thinking diaper covers maybe. I found some great info here:

What do you think? I thought maybe sew some ruffles on the back for added cuteness.

Mug brownie mix

I can just see this as an awesome Christmas present for everyone at work.

Dollarstore Dolly Delight.

This is an adorable doll. Could have given more steps about how she altered the clothing though.

Have you seen all the UFOs in my area?

Un
Finished
Objects

Otherwise known as my bin of works in progress. I was doing a good job of getting these pared down. I made a rule, that I couldn't start a new project, until I finished one. That would work, but I tend to lose interest in the middle of the project, or have 5-10 projects going at the same time. I also love to make stuff, but hate to do the piddly things to finish them up.

My biggest problems right now:

1. My craft area is a mess.
2. My totes are not labeled very well and aren't see through.
3. I have a ton of things that I have actually finished up, but they never had designated homes when I created them.
4. I am procrastinating taking pictures of the afore mentioned stuff to post on etsy to sell.
5. I have too many to do projects.
6. I have a really short attention span.
7. I LOVE to surf for new craft ideas/sites/supplies.

I think you get the picture.

This is the reason for this blog. I will be taking pictures of things I am working on, or have finished, so I can keep a record. Then, by this time next year, I want to be pared down to basic supplies, and less than 10 projects that are In The Works, or planned. I also want to start selling some of my stuff.

I will be posting cool new sites I find on the web too.

To start things off, my own business site:
