Projects in Progress…

Hello there!  How are you friend?  Just a quick drive by post to show you what I’ve been up to while I participate in Style School.  I’m having a great time soaking up all the inspiration and looking for ways to make the projects my own.  Or sometimes not… sometimes it’s just really great fun to simply follow instructions and play along! :)

These are all “Projects in Progress”.  I’m really inspired to create lately… but not really feeling like finishing anything… if that makes sense.  I feel like I have so much to catch up on that if I start them then I can always go back later and finish these up.  It keeps my creative juices flowing and from feeling like I HAVE to finish a project every time I start it.

See… look at how easy going I am in 2010.

Go me.

First up is what I’m most excited about so far in class, compiling a “Style File” of images, sayings, ideas that inspire me to create.

I’m having so much fun perusing catalogs and the web just searching for images that speak to me on some level.  It’s pretty empty right now.  But it’s begging to be filled!

And here’s a few projects from class:

I think this one is done – but it needs a permanent home.

Want to add a few more embellies to this journal cover.

This apron is seriously begging for a ruffle on the bottom.

My wardrobe doesn’t contain enough ruffles.

And yet what girl’s does?

And here’s one more in the very early stages:

I live by that most days.  Let everyone else be the first to arrive at work.  I’ll get there on time, and that’s enough.

The second mouse needs her Starbucks.

I’m excited for this one… I’ll show you when it’s done.

Getting over a cold this week too.  You’ll be proud to know that we (ok Alan) finally got the Christmas tree put away today. And I was ok with it being out that long.

See?  See how easy going I am in 2010?!?  Go me!!

Where’s that pom pom maker thingy I just bought… let me go make some and shake them things around.

I’ll make some for you too… and people shall cheer our names at how easy going yet creative we are.

(Did I mention I’m a bit tired and slap happy these days too?)

I hope you’re doing well and creating when you can too.  Thanks so much for stopping by today, and see you again very soon.

XOX,

“Easy Going Me”   *shake shake shake*
