Valarie with an "A"

I’m so bad at blogging, as you can tell. If anyone reads this, I’m sorry. Really, I am. I figure there really isn’t anyone out there though. Lately, I haven’t made too many things. Some jewelry, which usually goes together fast. I’m trying to get into some good habits for cleaning and cooking. If you know me, though, you know that I don’t like either of those things.

I’ve also set new goals on the craft storage front. I know that if I’m ever able to afford a Workbox, it’s going to be a long time in the future, after Austin and Allie need their own rooms. So, new goal. The ever popular Expedit Bookcases from Ikea. I figure I can replace one of the dining room bookcases with the 5×5 Expedit, and hide any supplies that are visually unappealing in the totes. Yarn and fabric of different colors look neat in the little cubbies though.

I did pull out my camera recently while Austin and Allie were playing, and just snapped photos in their room, so I’ll just leave you with this photo.

Why have I not blogged this yet? Tiff and I made this over a month ago. While browsing our local craft store, we came across clearance canvases and wanted to do something with them. Tiff has a music room in her house, so she decided on a music note. We hit the wood cut out aisle and found an eighth note, grabbed some spray paint and headed home. The canvas is spray painted with that stone texture spray paint, and a bright green music note really stands out against it.  :)
