[did you have....]

a good valentine's? :) heh heh... do feel free to share your fabulous V-day gifts in the comments here! (i promise i won't get jealous...)
So, i was rummaging around my craft stash, and hey, found these embroidered panels that haven't been photographed - so here they are :
i love that joel dewberry fabric....
i'm going to try doing more of those squiggly stitches - i love how they look... these were just randomly embroidered below the felt trees.
i really should use felt more often - i love the way it feels to stitch into it, and the lovely puckered texture of it when appliqued onto fabric.

in other crafty areas, i'm busy completing the 10 pages of commissioned work - which is why i can't post it here.... also, OA have just sent me a whole pack of product, which i have to do justice to by scrapping with them (not that it's a big problem, all the papers and stamps are so cool to use and i've been having lots of fun playing with them!) - BUT the only thing is i can't show them to you on this blog as the publications now all have this 'never seen before' rule. O well.... soon soon.... :) Plus, i've also been finishing up my cardigan - only 1 more sleeve left to go! :) yay....

now, i'm having a problem with too much multitasking..... i need to FOCUS on what i want to do - is it developing my Etsy shop with more products (embroidery and making baby clothes / blankies); is it putting in my everything for the scrapbooking industry (making LOs, keepsake pages, submitting for magazine calls, trying out for other DT positions); is it developing another sideline business of children related furniture (ok, this is just always at the back of my mind, i haven't really done anything abt it or thought about it much :P)
see what i mean! i really hope to be able to accomplish them all, but sometimes it really is pretty hard to focus, especially trying to juggle 2 kids and a full time job at the same time....

here they are again - K's getting really vocal nowadays- she loves to scream to get our attention! And i think she's ready to be turning on her own any day now! :)
