Small Gift Packages

Before April is over, I thought I'd post a couple of gift packages I made for my nephew and niece last month. It seems like it's been so long... when did the months of March and April go by?

A chick and a pencil cup decorated with pretty cupcake cotton fabric...
A hedge hog and a pencil cup with denim cover plus button magnets...
Had a wonderful time selecting the fabrics and making them. If I just had some more time...
However, I cleaned out my closets [well, just the ones in my room] after moving the furniture around in my room for a more streamlined looked. I feel very accomplished considering how I run out of time for everything...

Spring Cleaning

It's been too long since I updated my blog last. I have been quite busy with many tasks at work and home. In many ways, it's a good thing. It's been awhile since I have felt rejuvenated and motivated at work. I actually love what I do at work! My, did I say that?

Of course, this is all good but there are many projects and to dos I want to accomplish along the way as well. I have been meaning to take some time to organize my thoughts and my home to create environment to put some order in my hectic, energized life. So what do I do?

I watched a movie, Twilight, with Mad, keeping up with the sort of "FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE" bonding time. It all began with Casablanca, which apparently was mentioned in one of Gilmore Girls episodes. Mad had to watch it with me and loved it. I enjoy watching movies with her because she loves to make witty and silly comments about the scenes, sets, costume etc. Ever since the movie came out, we had discussions, even though I haven't seen the movie yet. Rob Patterson? What were they thinking? Edward Cullen supposed to be devastatingly beautiful in a very elegant way. What happened here etc. Hm. I must admit I have to take back some negative things I have thought. He does have very nice voice. Many times, a person's voice could either repel or attract despite everything else.

Now, here I am before my laptop, close to 2:00 in the morning, thinking: how to organize, sort, weed, and organize again my thoughts, work, creative projects, and home. Spring is here, finally, and it is a fine time to do all those things. And of course, get the dust bunnies out as well. I am going to give myself about two months to put some order all around me. Sigh. Now to bed. Good night...
