Well! Didn't these first 6 months just fly by…?!

There have many things happening this year…and while I haven't even blogged-in to say hello, I've only been really active on Facebook.

I'm sorry. Whether you come here for artwork or the latest and greatest from CTMH I am sorry to disappoint.

The Chicken Lady (aka Mom) has been pretty ill. While I say the word "terminal", some days we are out running the streets as always, others she doesn't leave the house.

I guess by nature of the disease that will be our "norm" for a while.

She did 10 days of radiation and we are really hoping that will relieve the pain in her chest wall. So far that's her only symptom causing discomfort.

Of course, I am still working and commuting so this has worn me out as much as her but she gets to go home and nap and I had to go back to work to finish out the day!

Moving along….uhm…artwork?! gosh! Have I none to share? 

Let me get back to you on that one!

Latest and greatest from CTMH? Tons! 

While I won't be attending Convention in Orlando later in the month to see what's coming later in the year, my heart is there…at the front door as traditions go.

Here's a snippit of them…I wish that everyone can "feel the love" in those few days each year!

PINNED it…Nailed It!

 I must be too tired to post tonite because this is the second try!..I've been cleaning all day with my newest find on Pinterest (Dawn Dishsoap and White Vinegar!) Nailed that dirty refrigerator, but there will be no pictures here on that!

However, it did give me the idear to share with you some other things I have seen, Pinned and successfully Nailed!
Here's the original:

Here's my version! Love it for my Studio which is in greens and pink!

(never mind the green and blue rug please, this is the Studio overflow room AKA the guest room!)

Went to Colorado last summer to visit DD after she moved there and got crafty while she was at work…saw this:

Our version!

We bought a set of spare pillow cases that would match her bedroom and used just one.

Speaking of the Studio, I really did reorganize a lot of things into the overflow room and have made better use of the space in there while still have a futon for guests.

I made four of these:

I can't find the original but they had more poufy type tops…I needed to stack mine.

These were cute!

But I didn't have any boy toys…and no boys in the house to speak of…
HOWEVER!
I have a Cricut machine that cuts out anything in the world and using the Cricut vinyl
I made these for quick and cheap gifts! (buy the soaps/hand sanitizers at the $1 store)

So far, all my PIN-periments have worked out great!

I'm UNHINGED…are you?
