Sleeplessness

Yes, it is almost 5 in the AM. I've been awake since about 2 in the AM...if you know me at all, you know that this seriously annoys me. I love sleep...However, I'm not getting any tonight so I will blog. And sit here listening to Kim Walker belt out praise songs..she's awesome you should check out her music. How He Loves is my absolute favorite song of hers.


It's been ages since I've blogged anyway...my excuse is that I have nothing to really chat about, or I don't have interesting pictures to post. Pretty much malarky. :) 


These past few weeks I have been feeling very creative and crafty, but not sure how to pull projects together. I'm hoping now that I have begun working half of my normal schedule I'll be able to make a few things. Today I was over at my Mom's all day, she helped me get started making new pillow covers..I love them! I'll post some pictures very soonly. Recently I've been checking out other womens' blogs, and become so inspired to make things. I love their creativity and how they post step-by-step pictures of things they have made. It makes me want to do the same...
I've been into making hair bows, flower pins and such. I have been wanting to make  a whole bunch and sell them somewhere, but didn't even know really where to get started, and today my sister and I were at Vintage Drift, a local consignment shop, and I noticed they were selling a few cute headbands. I got the brilliant idea to ask if they buy handmade things, lo and behold she told me they are always looking for handmade hair flowers and headbands. WooHoo!! She told me to bring a few in sometime. I'm a bit thrilled, I would love to make a buck or two off of something that I enjoy making. I think my goal would be to have my own cute little shop on Etsy.com. If you are into vintage and handmade things, you will go wild with all of the awesome, creative things for sale. 


Eventually, (when I have the time) I want to learn how to make little knit hats and things for babies and small children. I'm really not sure where this need for a creative outlet is coming from. Hopefully its not just a 'pregnant phase' that will pass once the baby is here. It's such a good feeling to have made something that actually turns out looking good and they way you wanted it to. 


Speaking of Baby, I've been browsing the web for ideas on decorating the nursery. Once again, I just love creative people, they inspire me so much. Once I get a few ideas pulled together and put into action, I will post pictures. 


Ok, well since I have to get up in less than two hours to go to church, I'm going to try and get some sleep. Maybe since I've written out just a few of the many thoughts I have running through my head,I will have some luck.


*Be Blessed
