No More Miss Fatty Fat!

So I decided this week is my last week of being Miss Fatty Fat. I'm not really going on a diet but I'll be watching how many calories I take in a day and start to be more active. I'm trying to do 1200 calories a day. I don't know if that's good or not. Maybe I should look that up. I'm really tired of being overweight. It's not about being skinny I just want to be healthy.

On another note. As you all know I had to give up my craft room. My husband, daughter and I live with my parents and for the last 3 or 4 weeks my nephew has been staying here. Poor kid had to sleep on a blow up mattress in the living room. Well that wasn't working. We decided to give him my craft room so that he could be more comfortable. All my stuff is packed and I'm going crazy! I'm trying to find a corner somewhere in the house where I can work. Haven't had any luck. Sad me! My husband had an idea of getting a sturdy 6ft long garage shelf and make a work area out of that. We will have to make room somehow in our bedroom but I think it might work. I really do hope this works cause I have no outlet and my brain is going mushy. I will put up some pics if this idea goes through. If it doesn't happen you'll know cause I'll be on here whining.

Shop closed

My shop will be closed for a couple of weeks due to my nephew moving in. I have to pack my items for while until we get his room comfortable for him. This is not the end. I will return.

Oops section in my Etsy shop

I have made a new section in my Etsy shop called oops. This section is of items I have made that are not as perfect as I like them to be. All the items in the oops section will be discounted from 30%-50% off. Here's some pendants that I will be listing later on today. Why are these in oops? The paper edge is showing a little too much for my taste. I will be listing these for $3. What a deal!

New Zipper Pouches

I have a couple of new pouches in my Etsy Shop. Please stop by and take a look.
Use this pouch for school, art supplies, make up, etc. You can also use it to organize those items in your bag that are floating around. I always have trouble finding my pens in my bag, so I just throw my pens along with my checkbook in the pouch to make it so much easier to find.

Measurements are approximately
9 3/4"w x 5"h

Quick and Easy Hard Cover Journal Tutorial

Hi everyone. Here's my new tutorial. It's very much like the mini art journal tutorial except for this one has a hard cover to it. Takes less than a half hour to make and there's so many embellishing possibilities. I hope you all like it. Enjoy.

Walking My Dog

Every day I take my dog out for a brisk walk. She always has to walk so fast. We usually take about 30 minutes to complete our walk. Today I decided to slow it down. Our walk took about an hour. She was very upset about that. She is actually on my bed as we speak snoring. I took my camera with me to see what I could capture. Never did I imagine how beautiful my neighborhood could be. See what happens when you slow things down? These are some pictures I took. My favorite is the leaf with the dew on it. That means that fall is really on it's way. Yay! No more 100 degrees weather. I might have to do this more often.

Zipper Pouch Tutorial

I tried filming the zipper pouch tutorial today and it was a complete disaster. I can't seem to get a good view of the sewing machine. So this tutorial will be on hold for now. I might just make a tutorial with pics and no video. We'll see how that goes. Sorry guys.
