More Works in Progress....

Ever feel like you have so much in your head that you don't really know what to do with it all?? Ya, I'm feeling about that way right now because I have so much to do and so little time to do it all in! Honestly, I've been so swamped with homework that I've hardly had anytime to do anything crafty! However, every once in a while I get to the point where I absolutely NEED to do something crafty and I'll just cook up an idea in my head and begin it before I forget it. LOL. Sooooooooooooooo.. that being said, here are a few of my current works in progress...
This is the start to what I call a "Cat Castle", it's more of cat play house... but its going to be themed like a castle to go along with all the pink princess stuff I own.. ;)

Still a big time work in progress.. I'm going to be touching up the paint, making it sparkley and adding fun things to it as I find them... :p
I also had a cool idea for a couple of signs I wanna make with some scraps of wood I have... but all I've done so far is paint them white....
I also got a few more fun things I have ideas for... here is a sneak peak but I won't tell you what I'm going to do with them yet, just in case I change my mind..

I'm also in the process of making clothing tags and business cards.. And I just joined a friendship bracelet swap that I need to make 3 bracelets for. And I also have to start on some baby shower Thank You cards that I finally have the stuff and kind of have the time for. Plus next week is my fiancee birthday.. so I have a couple of things I'm going to try and cook up in time for him. Then after that it's baby time and fall school semester starts on the 14th! Eeeef! Ya its going to be crazy! I'm going to try and keep you posted as much as possible!
Til next time,
Ashley

Overdrive....

O my gosh, I feel absolutely horrible for not coming on here for quite a while! Things have been ABSOLUTELY NUTS in my neck of the woods! I started summer school 3 weeks ago and like a smarty pants I thought I could handle two courses and be able to keep up with everything else... wishful thinking Ashley...
I must be crazy.. They aren't even easy classes either.. one is a 5 week Algebra class of which I only have 2 weeks left! Woo hoo! And the other is an English class that has 4 weeks left.. Sigh. I guess I get what I signed up for. Anyways, these classes and all the homework have been keeping me busy from dawn til dusk! My day starts with math at 7 am and I don't get home from my English class until around 5. and then I have to do my homework and try and get to bed at a decent time which doesn't happen often. Such is life I suppose! I'm doing well in both classes tho which is good.
I feel so deprived of my crafting that its driving me nuts... I keep looking at my messy craft table and thinking about how I should clean it and that I have so many projects that I need to finish that are half started and all the ones that are just waiting for me to start. And then I have to smack myself and get back to whichever text I am studying. Sigh sigh sigh!
I do however have one item to share with you! Its the corset I made for my friend! I finished it and it came out adorable! Sorry the picture is kind of fuzzy, I took it with my phone in dull lighting...
I have also started a couple of things but haven't got much to show for those yet.. And I still have two of my WIPs from a previous post to finish: the christmas dress and the costume I'm making for a contest. I'm also working on a couple of blankets, some furniture items and some business cards and tags! :)
I'll share pictures as soon as I can... but I have to get on top of homework, organize and get ready for a baby! Crazy, I know.. but I PROMISE to keep you posted!
Til Next Time,
Ashley
