Channeling My Inner Martha Stewart

This week I have a goal! I want to accomplish some crafts. These crafts were all started or purchased with the intent of finishing them. Most were started once upon a time, let's say las September/October. Then came finals, oh what lovely finals. They occupied my time from morning to night, and they plagued my dreams but I sacrificed the projects for those blessed, blessed finals. Next came Thanksgiving and the shopping the day after, and who has time to craft when you have time to shop? and before I knew it it was Christmas, where I shoved aside my inner Martha and pulled out the inner Rachael Ray. I made every damn Christmas candy I have ever had a recipe for. SO that month was over taken,

Then all of a sudden it was New Year's. What does a silly craft hold to a party that ends with a kiss? I tell you NOTHING! So once again those crafts collected dust out in the open torturing me with their guilt. I would walk past, they would scream at me "Finish us!" Cowboy and I got this harebrained idea that we should get a room ready for our little rascal, so we have been peeling wallpaper which is so much more motivational than stinkin' crafts.

Now the time has come, I no longer can handle the guilt. Its been long enough. I am going to finish these by the end of the week. I want to quit hearing their sad, sad screams every time I enter the room where they sit.



What you see here are the following:

A quilt that is intended to be our baby crib blanket, red yarn to tie

A John Deere fleece blanket that Cowboy picked out for our baby blanket collection. (How could I say no to Cowboy)

A half finished sock monkey, for said baby

Yet another craft requested by Cowboy, I am to make a cover/cushion out of that brown fleece you see there, for his center console. Just for his manly pooch so she has a soft place to put her tushy while she rides along side Cowboy in his beloved truck.
(Once again, Cowboy asks and I say yes with my eyes glazed over, I tell you what...someday there will be hope for me .)

So there you have it. Wish me luck I am going to try to get these done and my ears will feel peace.
