I decided that I just had to finish her and maybe just maybe she will be ready for Halloween 2010...I feel so guilty since my friend Cindy from Texas sent me my missing "glow in the dark" thread and I have used so little of it...shameful
I have been doing lots of crafts lately since that is what my "Altered Divas" Club buddies always work on...but I really do miss cross stitching and my stitching friends...especially Cindy F...
I am not sure if I will go back to the "Let's stitch" site since it is on Fridays and that is when we craft but I will post my progress anyway here and hope you like...Here's crossing my fingers that I stick to it...
Well off to take a picture of Witchie and gather all and get my chair ready...it maybe old but so comfy...lol
One note I did do a major rehauling of my craft room with my daughter's extensive help...she designed it with a little input from me as to what I have that is fixed (shelves and tables my dh build in) and with existing materials as much as possible can't afford those lovely white stackables that Michael's is famous for or the Ikea expediate that seems to be everywhere...we did it with lots of bins donated from my daughter (she redid hers too)... just the basics of clearing out the junk that seemed to accumulate with time.. it was turning into a storage area and I couldn't even sit in it anymore... One thing I love is that I finally got my huge wired paper racks up the way they should have been (they came from a scrap book store that went out of business a few years ago)...awesome...now to fill them up...lol no no just kidding they just need organizing..color scheme and maker...like humm I love Basic Gray, K&C, Bazzill etc... well I just love paper.
Organizing is still in early stages but there seems to be a place for everything... especially the MACHINES!! I just hated having to take each one out or down whatever the case was and now I have one spot for all of them.. yep..cricut, sizzix, embosser, the cinch binder (this one I just got for my birthday on Aug 16th), sewing machine etc...lots of machines courtesy of mostly daughter at xmas, birthday, mother's day etc... she just knows what I want...lol
when I take pics u will see what I mean...I just need to finish or just getting better organized...doing a few bins at a time... then having dh buiid 2 more small shelves...I want to be able to display some of the things I have done and put up the cork and blackboards...
opps sorry did not realize I just went on and on...see what happens when you are alone all day and have a place to write...though no one may read I feel maybe some one will...
ok now I will go have lunch, finish washing clothes and get out Witchie Poo
Here's to a creative evening...
Thanks for stopping by and please leave your comments..remember they are the footprints of where you have been and ..I really love them..

Great to see your post Nana. Oh yes, i do read all your post, though sometimes don't leave comments, i try now though on all the blogs i visits.
Your reorganizations sounds great and hope to see pictures when you get the chance to post.
First let me say...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! and so sorry I missed it:( I hope it was a good one!
Your craft room sounds wonderful and it's nice you're getting help from dd and dh:) I think if we were neighbors, we'd have enough scrap stuff to open our own store!!
