Crazy Dream?

Those who follow me know that I have somewhat of a crafty side to myself. I bought Jessica's name in letters and painted them up and hung 'em up in her room for the world to see. On top of that, I have been looking for a way to make some dough from home. Dare I combine them? I could do letters to order (like those for Jessy) and/or even make jewelry or... the possibilities are endless! Thank you, Hobby Lobby, for the ideas! ;) I don't want to say too much right now, but there is brainstorming in progress.

More to come!

The Writing on The Wall

So for the past few months I have had a rather crafty desire to make something of my own for Miss Jessica. I have envisioned making individual letters spelling out her name, with different colors and patterns painted on them. I will then find some ribbon to (probably) glue to the back of the letters and suspend them from the wall somehow.

Today I finally acted on it. After Keith and I were finished with our lunch, I dragged him to our local craft store to look at letters. It was my lucky day; letters were on sale. Literally, 30% off (and about $2.50 to begin with!)! I LOVE bargains like that. I had walked into the store intending to just window-shop for now, but walked out about $21 and change later with seven letters and five bottles of craft paint: pink, brown, green, purple and black.

I started phase one of the project right after we arrived back home: painting the background colors on the letters.

And for the worry-warts, I had the paint-and-fumes issue covered. The windows were open and I only used a small amount of paint- no major wall jobs here. ;) Kept the air nice and fresh in there and I still enjoyed the gorgeous weather we had! I would have set up shop outside but it was a tad too breezy.

The next part of the project will require some planning, as I will be adding patterns to the letters. Part of me was tempted to keep the letters as they are now, but that would be no fun!

Update :D

Never thought I'd make up my mind so quickly. LOL

Introducing, Crazy Thoughts and Sweet Dreams.

And yes, there's a story to it, which I may reveal someday. Or may not. I don't know yet.

What's in a Name?

Kim. Kimster. Kimmyg. Kimmygintx. Suzy Q. Keith. Keithy. Keither.

What do all these crazy people have in common? They're all names. OK, so I threw in Suzy Q for the fun of it, but you get the idea, right? Now I know you're wondering where the heck this is going, right? :D

I need a new blog-name. "My Writing Tablet" was actually meant to be a temporary name until I could think of something better. I have thought up some ideas here but I dont' want to publish them for fear they may be stolen. (Kim, don't flatter yourself.)

BTW, Keely (my "beautiful, graceful" cat) says hi.
