feel good felt kit :)

Felt cell phone cover
Today was just one of those days.  It's super hot here and everyone is crabby.  So I decided that I needed to do what makes me de-stress.  Creating something.  Crafts are a way for me to forget whatever is wrong or whatever isn't working.  So here is my sweet felt cell phone cover!  Thanks to Mollie Makes feel good kit I was able to de-stress!!   :0)  Thanks Mollie Makes!!  Your feel good kit made me feel good!!  I actually started it yesterday and finished today.  With two little girls fighting for my attention I have to learn to be patient.  I forgot how to do the blanket stitch, so this morning bright and early after my almost 2 month old went back to sleep, I googled how to make the blanket stitch.  I found a very good youtube video and before you know it my sweet little cell phone case was done!  Whew.  Now I feel better but I'm thinking I need another craft project.  Things are stressful right now!  ;)

Unpacking. Grrrr!!

My baby Josie 
My oldest daughter Eri
So we moved into a two bedroom apartment about 2 months ago and I still have unpacking to do.  It seems like I never have time to get it done.  I've got about 4 boxes of kitchen stuff and I still haven't organized my cupboards yet!!  Which is driving me crazy!!  I keep saying that I will do this or that while the girls are napping and then when that time rolls around I just feel like crashing and spending time alone doing what I want to do.  Some days I wonder if it will ever get done.  I have so many ideas and just NEVER enough time!!  Someday..... at least that is what I keep saying to myself.  Guess I've spent enough alone time and need to get busy with laundry.  Happy Monday!!

Garage Sale-ing

My husband Andre and Eri

My craft project I made last week.  Don't you just love it? 
Last night while at work, Andre, my husband text messaged me saying I could go to some garage sales in the morning. What a sweetie huh? ;) One of my most favorite things to do!  You bet I was going to take him up on his offer and leave as soon as I could escape the chaos!  As a stay at home mommy I know how important it is to get out of the house and leave my little munchkins with their daddy, even if it means coming home to tornado.  ;)  As promised here are a few pictures of the Cobbs family and a craft project I did the other day.  I still have some major learning as you can see.  I was trying to get my text up at the top of my post.  I was browsing through some other blogspots this afternoon while the girls were napping and I'm in serious envy of their beautiful blogs.  I"m a little bit of a perfectionist so having mine not the way I want it is frustrating but as a mommy of two under two you have to learn how to go with the flow a little more often.  :)

My first blog. :)

I'm super excited to finally have a blog spot.  I'm really new at this and have a lot to learn. So please bear with me in this new experience, I promise to show you some really cool things. :)  My goal for this blog is to share my love for handmade crafting (I was a 4-Her growing up!) and my love for the Cobbs family.  Who doesn't love to show off pictures of their children?  I have to admit sometimes I get a little obsessed with photos.  I have two beautiful little girls, my oldest is Eritrea (Eri) at 19 months and my baby is Josephine (Josie) at almost 2 months now.  Babies grow super fast so I try to capture as many precious moments with my girls as possible.  I can't wait to show you some of my creations I made for my girls.  So until I get this all figured out, thanks so much for stopping by and please check in again SOON for some pictures!!
