Why can't their be a organizational pill?

Do we look like twins?















UMMMM Not so much!!! (I'm loving the ruffles though Barbara baby!)
Did y'all know that June Cleaver aka Barbara Billingsley has a myspace page! What is the world coming to! LOL!!!
This more of an update and Shawnta's mindless rambles in one kind of post. I have never seen a person who longs to be organized as much as I do, but still have her life in total chaos! I mean I guess I don't do too bad considering that 3 days a week I am only in my house and awake (that's the important part)for maybe 3 hours. I mean really what am I suppose to do in that time? Waste on the internet of course! I am the person with about 10 organizational books but still haven't got that sewing room together to really get things moving. This morning I finally had enough of sleeping on fabric and patterns and put them all downstairs.

The Stash Box that I am both ashamed and proud of all at the same time.

The Dress form that has taken up residence in my living room
We could also talk about the sewing machine that is on the dining room table :/

I have 5 boxes of patterns(about three of them are vintage patterns I won off of ebay) and that is not all of them. I got three more patterns yesterday. It's like I can't help but add on to the pile.



Cutting Mat oh Cutting Mat why are you so stinky!

I brought two these cutting mats yesterday at Walmart and man are they stinky! I've wiped them down and everything but they still smell like moldy cardboard or something. I got two Black Ice car trees in the sewing room now to try to mask the funk.


I've also decided to take up knitting and crocheting because obviously I have 40 hours in my day while everyone else gets 24! HA!


Is this cute or have I bumped my head? I'm thinking my locs would look lovely in one of those.

I thought this would make a lovely yarn basket. I found it in a closet. My house surprises me with stuff sometimes like "Merry Christmas" remember this?
I believe it held a plant pot that has long since died. Spiders had decided to make nests in it so I took it outside to spray it down. Hopefully no mutated spiders genetically modified with bleach don't come and get me.
I burned myself on the dryer at the laundromat yesterday :/

I didn't get to put on makeup cause we went early and plus I really need to decide what I am doing with my eyebrows like today.
Well I'm going get back to my cleaning and spider dodging!

I love crochetting and knitting! I knit scarves and i am good at crochetting tableclothes. I did a sweater that I've never finished..lol..
I hope that burn is not hurting so much..did you put some aloe vera on it?

and don't worry, we all want an organizational pill :)

Everyone needs 5 or 6 hobbies ;-)

You're like me...with all of those damn hobbies. I have too many. And most of them I'm a bit half-assed in. Except of course Clumps of Mascara, which is now becoming my 1st priority...after grad school.

I'm sorry but that little hat thing ain't workin' for chick. It would look 10x better with your locs!

Your space sound like mine. I have fabric in the living room, sewing machine on the dining room table, ironing board with more fabric someplace in between. One day I'll get it together.

That is a lot of patterns! And how did you only get 4 vid on your YouTube bar? I can't seem to do that:(

I'm starting a feature on my blog, HomeSpaGoddess.com about all the products beauty blogger can't live without. Your blog is great and I'd love for you to participate:)

Just answer this question:

You're stranded on a desert island where all of your basic needs (food, water, shelter) are taken care of. You are allowed an unlimited supply of only 7 beauty products. What seven products would you choose?

They can be products for hair, face or body. If you want to participate just email me your answers at hsg{at}homespagoddess.com and put "Island Beauty" in the subject line. I'm going to run my "Island Beauty" feature once a week and I'll email you when you're featured.

Thanks!

I love that hat.. If i could get the hang of crochetting I'd try it as well... that burn is wild.. having burned my arm as well, back in 2005, i'll say it takes a while to fade down a little...
