Big Plans!

Well I lasted about a week on the "no sugar" kick. Seriously, who am I kidding? But the craft bug is still whispering sweet nothings in my ear. And sometime this week I need to take some measurements for curtains, learn how to thread my sewing machine (thank you online manuals!), and skip on over to Fat Quarter Quilts for some of their deliciously addictive fabrics!!

Oh my, I'm getting excited just thinking about it! Last night I had my sweet hubby hang art in our dining room and now I can finally see the 'decor' starting to take shape.

Now all I need is a trip to Zimmerman, MN to visit an antique store or two and I'll have a buffet for the dining room and (fingers crossed) a storage bench for my front entryway. Ooh, I bet that bench is going to need pillows! Hello crafts!

I have abandoned the idea of making my own rug. Visions of cats using it as their new scratching post and the dog mistaking it for his new "throwing up place" made me re-think labor intensive crafts at feet level. I'll just watch my local Menards store for a fantastic deal on a remnant or an area rug and Save Big Money! :)

Warning: I am now obsessed with the idea of making my own accessories! Think funky headbands and vintage cuffs and bracelets! Yum!

And this is all in addition to the new business I'm starting as a Butterfly Boutique Coordinator! Do you need a fabulous handbag or a one-of-a-kind jewelry set? How about some home fragrance or beauty supplies? I've got you covered!

I'm having a boutique at my house on Monday, June 29 at 7 pm and you're invited! Come shop with us! I'm baking, so they'll not only be eye-candy...there's a good chance there will be actual candy! Hey, then you can have a sneak peak at my newly decked-out love nest!

Email me if you need my address or directions from your place (fashionkate_07@yahoo.com)

Happy Adventuring!
