Studio Toolbelt while I am working on losing my mind...

Project 4 for style school was to create a studio toolbelt. YAY!! A sewing project!!! I found the coolest fabric at JoAnn's a while back and I just knew it would be great for this apron!! I had to add a few details to make it more me....I LOVE Aprons!!

Crochet ribbon lace and a felt deer from CTMH:
A vintage doily with buttons....sewn on to the pocket....
And I think the cream lace at the bottom makes it much more feminine.


Oh and I went out thrifting last weekend....Found the perfect office chair for my craft room. It is much smaller than the huge black one that I did have in there. It is sort of a yellow-orange color...doesn't really go with the other colors that I have in the room, but it was so vintage and only $14, I HAD to have it. It matches my tool belt apron...hmmm...to recover or add some new colors to my decor....I must decide.
Marley likes it.....

I am going a bit crazy this month.
I am soooo forgetful.
Not dates or things I have committed to or anything like that....

I keep misplacing important things and it is driving me crazy.

Things I have lost:

1. Fabric-- I put it away before Christmas and searched the entire house. Luckily, I finally found it in the basement.
2. My tripod. It is gone.
3. Artwork examples -- forcing me to hastily re-create artwork minutes before the kids are walking in the door
4. My checkbook. I seriously do not know where it is. Boooo!

In other news, I have cavities. I went to the dentist last week and he said that cavities exist because of 3 reasons: genetics, home care, and diet. Basically, I realized that I need to seriously stop drinking soda pop and cut out the sugar. I am addicted to candy and sweets. Since last week, I have really been taking my dentist seriously. Only one drink of real Pepsi on Saturday (and a couple of diet 7ups-- do those count?) and absolutely no other treats. Well, fat free vanilla wafers...and peanut butter and jelly. Otherwise, I have been steering clear of chocolate, cookies, leftover christmas/halloween candy, cupcakes, and anything else that has loads of sugar in it.

So, I feel like I am working on losing my mind a little bit at this point. Ever feel that way?

The apron is fab! Such awesome colors. I lost a layout recently. I know I did it. I even took a photo to submit to a challenge, and I have the photo on my computer. But I've looked high and low - no l/o. Weird.

your apron is adorable! we bought fabric a couple months back, my Mom is going to make mine. I don't know how to sew! And after getting glossy accents on a nice shirt, I figured it was time for an aprin!

I know how you feel about the dental problems! I'm big on sweets too and am in the process of getting my dental "sitaution" figured out =] I was never big on soda, but sweets, yeeeessss! So I'm killing two birds, less sweets = less dental problems and less extra pounds too! Hang in there, one day you won't even miss soda!!
