Goals

I've been thinking about my goals lately. It seems like everyone has certain goals and knows what they want to accomplish. My goals seem so over the top... make a million dollars a month, clean every room in my house until it sparkles every day. I am not sure what I want my goals to be. Let me pick your brains please.... leave your goals. I'd like to hear what everyone else has for their personal expectations. And I'm bored and can't sleep ;p

Owl War!!!

Mine vs. My husbands!

My husband is very talented... and I love him so much. Sometimes he can really frustrate me! I love making these little owls. My hubby sees me doing this new little thing and he picks it right up and in no time has a little owl for me! Then he makes an elephant for our oldest daughter, and a frog for our middle girl. And they are so good! I am still going to post my little owls but it is o so tempting to beg him to make a bunch up to post instead. They are two different styles, so I have that to make me feel better. He is just a stinker! Hope the girls get his natural talent!

Front Page, Woot Woo!

Wow! Unbelievable!!!

My inspiration...

I picked up a book a year and a half ago. It wasn't anything special, or so I thought. There have been a few books in my life that I find myself really falling in love with. When a was a preteen it was A Wrinkle in Time, when I was a teen The Vampire Lestat, in my twenties Harry Potter, now the Inkheart trilogy. This is important because the Inkheart book sparked something in me. When the author writes about bookbinding I was drawn in immediately. I needed to know all I could about bookbinding. To the library! I took out all four books, apparently it's not as popular as I thought it would be. I took it all in, and decided then that I would try to learn and grow as a bookbinder. That is how I got into my hobby, a book, which is now a movie with Brendan Frasier. OK, I never thought my artistic outlet would be linked to a movie, blah. So of course... I had to go see the movie this weekend. I loved the movie for what it was, a movie. I was very disappointed that they barely touched on the wonderful images I remember reading in the book. So, off to reread the book. hmmm...

Addicted!

OK, I am addicted to etsy. I have been stalking the treasuries, I love seeing what people deside to pick out. I think it's neat seeing what other people see as beautiful. And again, I was included! Here is the address...

and here is a screenshot...

I will probably have some pics of my little felted owls up later tonight, or tomorrow. I was up until 6:30am a few nights ago... I don't know why. I got my owls done though. Let me know what you think of them!
