Scenes from the new house!

The process of moving continues... and much of my life is still boxed up! But the craft room is now officially usable (some of it is, anyway), the kitchen is usable, and the dogs have made themselves at home... so I consider that a darn good start!

Please excuse the iPhone-quality photos...!

Dorm Decor: Remake Your Space with More Than 35 Projects

Its back to school time, and that means books, class schedules, long lines at the financial aid office... (ugh!) but also some opportunities for crafty goodness! I'm past dorm-living at this stage in my life- but I thought "Dorm Decor" would make a great graduation gift for my cousin, who's off to her first semester of college this fall!

I don't think she's made anything from it yet (who has time, that last free summer with your high school buds?!) - but she definitely seemed excited about it! Good luck Julie!

Speaking of cute necklaces...

How about this one from lisa leonard designs?

Wedding Necklace

How cute is this? I'm quite convinced I need one. Especially now that we have a date!! (Our wedding is scheduled for 09/25/10!!) Unfortunately the wedding is the reason I can't afford to be buying myself necklaces! LOL.

Available and fully customizable from Dallanonna Jewelery!

Things We Forget.

Moving Boxes

We're officially done moving (phew!!), and our new apartment actually has space for a craft/art/design studio/room/office thing (I need to come up with a better name for it- any ideas?)...

However... since it is decidedly the least imperative of all the rooms (just SLIGHTLY below the bathroom in importance I think), it is currently the room where all of our unpacked boxes are stored. Ugh.

I'm so torn between the desire to just relax awhile and not start sorting through all that stuff I spent so much time meticulously packing just a few short weeks ago... and the desire to have my studio space all set up and ready.

Ah well, maybe we'll make a dent it in this weekend?
