This is my first post!!!

June 25 2009


This is the first time I've ever done a blog and so forgive my mistakes. Thanks to my lovely and talented daughter Kerstin, (pronounced like Care- stin) for helping me with this and all other things I can't figure out. I've been looking at other blogs and I will most deffinatly post about them too. There are so many great places to visit that I tend to spend way too much time on this computer. it would help if I could type with more than three fingers. i guess i should just dictate to my daughter who's fingers fly so fast across the key's.
I visited, for the first time, today a blog called Vintage Bella Studio (http://vintagebellastudio.blogspot.com/) and wow am I inspired. She shows the softest colors and vintage items that make me want to create. I don't know what I will create but after I find items with the same pastels I'll go crazy. My craft room always looks like a tornado blew through and then I realize I have to clean it up. I paid my daughter to straighten things up once already and it really helps, but what I wouldn't give to have someone very organized to come in and clean and organize for fun for me, like Monica on Friends.
Now about the picture of this adorable little girl. This is Miss Addyson Presely Hansen, my darling little granddaughter. She is our first grandchild and we get such a kick out of her. She keeps us laughing all the time. She is 1 year old and learning to walk. Watch out mom and dad, you'll be running now!

Here are a couple of things I have made. The cupcake is made from window screen, stuffed with paper and painted. The other item is a ceramic plate I made but I also use it as a stitchery pattern. Here is a link to my etsy sitehttp://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5219813. I will be posting more things in my shop soon. Plus I will be adding more people to my fav's soon. Thanx for visiting.
