These are a couple things I got for Christmas from my husband who takes hints (o.k. so I took him to Home Depot and showed him what I wanted ;) so well. The Silhouette I found on Nomorerack.com and volunteered to order it for him (for me) because it was the best price I have seen. Of course he was delighted to have me order my own gift. What a guy! I have not had time to use either one yet but have been reading up on the endless possibilities...so excited to cut things up ;)

Hppy New Year!

Christmas is over and the New Year is here and I am already feeling behind at everything. Christmas stuff is put into boxes but still sitting in my garage..just another way to irritate my husband. I need to vacuum but it scares our new cat (Carl). Trying to catch up on laundry, office work, tax records, cleaning, appointments, projects and writing.  I think my thyroid has stopped working! I colored, bleached, re-colored and toned my hair only to reveal a beautiful shade of orange. I threw out all the junk food in the house and am now longing for it. I am trying to exercise more but below 0 temps keep me inside wanting a nap instead. I have been eating healthier and pretty sure I lost an ounce last week. Other than that, life is good. 

My last project was making cement bowls.......

As you can see, I did something very wrong.

I am thinking maybe the consistancy of the cement mix was off or maybe I got too anxious and didn't let them cure long enough.

So, this is what I got. I will be trying this again.
