Yep, I have a problem.

A couple of weeks ago  my work space looked like a tornado had gone trough it. I then decided that it was finally time to clean up. Now, the actual task proved to be way more difficult than I anticipated. See, it turns out that it wasn't just my work space that needed some straightening up. In addition to my working table, my cubby that stores my current projects, as well as my crafting closet was in shambles. With much embarrassment, I said enough is enough and holy hell I have a problem. Hi, my name is Angela and I'm addicted to buying crafting supplies. After nearly an entire afternoon sorting notions, fabric, ribbon of all types, beads, glues, cutting tools, card stock in every color, yarn, wool, felt, works in progress...I vowed that I wouldn't make random purchases just because it's an "excellent deal" nor because "it will totally come in handy...eventually." How does it make sense that I can justify crafting supply purchases, yet purchasing clothes, shoes and even make up makes me cringe?  
Strange! Anyway, I've been good these past few weeks. Now let's see if I can actually stand by my words.

Happy New Year!


It's been quiet around here. I have been on a little crafting hiatus due to the holidays. In general December was a little chaotic in our house. With that said, I am looking forward to what 2016 has in store for my family. I am hoping to continue my ever growing passion for my crafting, my desire to transition into a more holistic lifestyle, but most importantly, I am looking forward to emotional and mental balance.

I started 2016 with the most charming house pillow! 

As well as a clean and comfy crafting corner.


Lastly, I'd like to add that what I am most thankful for these past few months. My mother's smile. Almost 7 months into her recovery from her Bell's palsy and highly complicated case of shingles. God is great.
