Thanks Girls! I am busy busy busy this weekend getting dresses for my DD Tori, from material that a sweet friend gave me a whole huge box of. :) Maybe, that will help curb my material buying habit for a bit..lol. I will post some pics of my finished project as I get them done. :)

okk........... i now have one big empty craft room..with only the sewing machine..one tub of fabric and one card table of beading stuff in it...I folded up the long banquet table as i dont need it anymore and will put it in the shed, The soap making supplies are in the pantry ..waiting on spring when i will learn to do it...When weather warms up ( spring )i will actually paint this old craft room a bright color. I painted in plain white about year or so agao and i just hate it.......very boring!!! Now i am about all destashed and i have hardly anything to work on..WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH !!!!!! But i do like this big empty room. I still have about 100 agates to wire wrap and get on the barter page by end of march too..

wow! You necklaces are beautiful, Lisa! The one with the goddess is gorgeous! I sit down with my wires and beads and all those wonderful things and am a blank wall. No designs pop into my head. Nada Zilch Zippo. I keep looking at your wonderful things, knowing they will inspire me. (and knowing you did them while watching tv ....)lol

hi jessie... I am a "happy" movie person ..so i pop a dvd in and i put the cardtable about 2 ft from the tv..darn eyes !! I use to crochet in front of tv ..but i am pretty much out of yarn now and cant think of a reason to really buy any . I have to get zill mufflers crocheted up and send to my daughter for her dance students. The pumpkins jsut popped in my head ..i was looking at these big orange beads and thought they looked like pumpkins..then i had just read some fantasy books based on faery godmothers..I want to do a couple of gothy enchanted pumpkins possibly..They could be from the "wicked witch of oz" garden maybe

My other stashaholics creation, my tea cozy, is on Terri's blog (5 acre farmgirl). She was 100% from my stash.

I am working on some stash busting items. I am using up some of my small pieces of denim I have saved from worn out blue jeans Here is my second neck purse. My ipod fits perfectly in it and plenty of room to tuck another small item or two in it. I used 4 of my lampwork glass horse beads in the embellishment. I have used tiny pale blue bead stars that have rhinestones on them.(from Janie) The red fringe and the black braid with bells are some Bonne sent me. ..I may put this on on the barter blog..havent quite decided yet. I love these so much I am having a hard time wanting to give them up.. and here is the first one i made this morning...

It is amazing how far a few scraps fo fabric can go isnt it ?? I had enough to do one more doll and a silky brocade jewlery bag for travel.

Lisa, I had to chuckle at the first set of pictures. Sometimes that's how I feel when I get up in the morning! LOL They are all so cute, and very clever!

I have to say my favorite is the little one at the end. She has such a sweet expression on her face with those big bright eyes...
