The crafting bug bit me the other night. While I really like doing crafty projects and admire those who are so talented, my skills (and patience) are sometimes lacking. OK, who am I kidding -- my skills are frequently lacking.
I have lots of great ideas (partly because my brain has been saturated by HGTV, partly from visiting many of the nicest homes in my area for the remodeling magazine articles I write, and partly from the numerous home and garden mags I get). Yes, lots of good ideas. Follow through? Not so much.
For instance, I have big plans for Baby's room. So big that it's been too overwhelming to start. So right now, there's nothing but yawning, empty space. I suppose this is the only good thing about a long wait in international adoption -- you usually have plenty of time to get homefront projects done. But one way or another, the adoption will be happening, and I better get cracking (right, Mom?).
So here's the little project I tackled the other night while sitting on the adoption sidelines - storage bins:

On a different topic, I just know there have to be other people who are getting as annoyed with the show "Jon & Kate + 8" as I am. Mainly, I'm annoyed with bossy, crabby, control-freak Kate who is constantly correcting her husband (in front of the kids) in a generally condescending way. I really got a kick out of the show when it first started but it's not cute anymore, and the honeymoon's over -- and their's too, it would seem.

Love them..you are crafty!
One of my favorite memories of 2007 - midway of Thanksgiving dinner, Kevin (one of Tammi's 7 year old twins) came over and asked me if I brought some crafts to make. I've been doing this for the little kids for years - but I was amazed that he remembered from year to year. Jennifer, you come from an extended family of crafters. My Mom and her Mother and Grandmother all made many things with their hands. I have always enjoyed crafting various things. Tammi is good at it. Syd loves it. And all of Tammi's kids enjoy it. So - enjoy your crafting. Aunt Fran
I think the bins look great and have been told I am not only crafty but creative - whatever that means! Keep up the good work!
Those storage bins are so girly and cute! How long did it take you to complete? Are they easy?

I agree that Jon and Kate plus 8 is becomming increasingly annoying, but I am still compelled to watch it. Hmmm...interesting. Anyway, I find it hard to watch the way they talk to each other as a couple--they are just plain mean to each other. And Kate over-reacts to everything which I find to be seriously irritating.
