I found these alphabets from a link from Kelly Kilmer’s blog (linked left) and made these which I put up for anyone to use as they would like.words

That would be my mom. And her birthday is tomorrow. But I am thinking about it right now and these days, that is when I need to act, when I am thinking about it. There is a somewhat less than delightful mania going on in my brain these days and I find I have to take extra effort to stay in the moment and do now rather than acknowledge something for later because later? It’s gone…

Young at Heart is a birthday card I made for my mom and it went out in the mail today which means she will get it late, but she will get it! The florio piece is on the back of it and I did that and blogged about it before(click for the full view). It’s images of my dad from his photos from the 50s. She. might. just. cry…

My only hope now is that I got the year right and that she id in fact turning 78. If she is turning 77, well then, I might just be in trouble.

My crafting ADD has definitely been established as both a phenomena within a single craft (multiple works in progress) and a multi-craft issue. Last week, my brain was definitely missing a beat as it went into a bit of an overshelmed state.

Of course there is knitting going on. And art journaling (not one but two online classes at the moment with a list of several more I am interested in). I am also taking an online workshop for Carla Sonheim’s book Drawing Lab. And a less intensive online class called Delightful Doodles.

Both the drawing and doodling classes are through the Artists of the Round Table site linked to the left.

If that wasn’t all enough, let’s just take a mini-vaca weekend away into the Texas interior. On the way to the best meal ever, we stopped in Fredricksburg for lunch. While there, we also stopped at a yarn store. Truth be told, I checked the yarn store map and the only one on the way to Coleman, TX was in Fredricksburg and that determined our route. I went to this charming little yarn store and I didn’t buy yarn! I did, however, get this kit for my intro into rug hooking. And guess who got a similar kit?

Not one, but two hookers in the house!!

I am soon on my way to the grocery store to stock up for a weekend of eating crap. I haven’t had a total crap binge in quite a while, and the last time, I noticed I would have a few bites of something and then move on, so even though I am thinking binge and saying binge, it really won’t be a binge. Yay for me…

The list so far? Cheddarwurst, Velveeta mac and cheese, Pepsi, chips, sushi, ice cream(maybe), and I am thinking of maybe having a nice juicy burger for dinner unless something else catches my eye. I think I might actually walk the aisles and see what else sparks my nostalgic indulgence radar.

Adios muchacha…

I just posted this on my fb page, and I am adding it here to maybe broaden the audience.

April is National Letter Writing Month. I will enter everyone I receive a letter from between now and May 7th into a drawing for something fabulous hand made by me! Who needs my address?
