What A Tripp!

Creating

As usual, life has been kinda crazy here. At least enough to keep me from concentrating on a task long enough to actually blog about it. lol Alas, Justin has told me I must, so here I go.
I haven’t had as much focus to create as much as I usually do, but have managed a few projects over the last few months that are worthy of sharing.

First, one of the biggest projects I’ve tackled – a roman shade for the family room. I’m pleased with how it turned out.

Ada got to go to a friend’s princess birthday party, and we just had to make something suitable for the birthday girl. We found a variety of fabrics/lace/ribbon from my stash and made a cute little purse (that held a My Little Pony and lip gloss).

While Justin and Zephram spent all sorts of time building a pinewood derby car, I spent relatively little creating awards for the race. I made ribbons for all of the boys, most of which ended up with a label stating what they “won” for (ie. most creative, best of show, etc). I also made “trophies” for the top 3 race finishers. I cut the blocks of wood, sanded them, glued on hotwheels cars and spray painted them gold, silver and bronze. I forgot to take a picture of all of them together, but luckily Zeph won the silver so I can show you how cool they were, along with his car and ribbon.

Caemlyn made a cute little monster pouch for her cousin Sara’s birthday – with very little help from me.

At last, I made a new bag for myself. A yummy shade of red, with the cutest Alexander Henry birdie fabric lining and accents. This only shows the outside, but the top has a zipper closure and there are 2 pockets inside. Still not what I was going for, but it turned out cute enough.

Any suggestions for what I should work on next…should I find the ability to focus?
