Well last week was a whirl wind week with so much happening in our house hold.
My daughter was in rehearsals everyday and we also needed to get her organized for a week long camping trip the day after her big end of the year dance show. To top it off my husband had his big year end show too, The Leo Awards.
Needless to say it was a bit hectic.... thank god my two boys are self sufficient.
I managed to fit in two doll orders and one for our silent auction.

For some reason I feel like I'm in limbo these days.

I get all inspired to create when I sift through my supply cupboard and then I get side tracked as I have to walk the dog or drive someone to somewhere. Make dinner or wait a minute there is a break in the sky... I can pull a few weeds or plant a few rows of seeds in the veggie garden. Honestly there are times I feel like I have A.D.D.

I long for a good stretch of sunshine so I can start working on the tiny house again.

Having said that I managed to finish a project last week and put in my etsy store.

Now to tackle all the wool sweaters laying on the floor that need to be cut into doll patterns.

Just received lovely mohair socks in the mail the other day. My friend Gillian introduced me to this fantastic product and now that I have worn them all winter long..... I can't imagine wearing anything else.

After cutting the grass the other night and enjoying the freshly manicured lawn I noticed a cute forget-me-not growing out of the rock wall... how sweet. Sadly a few feet away I discovered my kiwi is being chewed up... weevils perhaps. I need to find a natural way of getting rid of these insects to stay true to my organic gardening practices. Any ideas most welcome.

Wow, yesterday I went through a huge learning curve with trying to customize my blog. It took me all day and into the night but I think I got it. Just a few minor tweaks to go.Yes and thanks to my friend Stacy who got me involved in blogging in the first place " you should start a blog"... never should me, I caught the bait.

Stacy and I had tea yesterday and so I took advantage of some of her know how with blogging. I just needed to understand some of the language, and I was off and running. Thanks Stacy. So now I feel good and ready to spill it all out on the pages or blog I should say.

I originally planned on just blogging about the adventures of building my tiny house and how I had a vision of building it for almost free, but it's more then that. This little house will be the future home of my studio and the creative goings on of CRAFTINA, yes that's me and where I will be creating for my etsy store. My plan is also to have the studio open to the public 3 mornings a week.

As you can see by my latest published photo's the process of the building and the final tarped up house to stay dry over the winter. I'm getting a bit antsy to get back on the job and the fine weather is coming so I'm hoping to have it up and running by the fall. Wish me luck!
