I've been too busy to blog!

I've been too busy to blog! I've been working on scrolls, doing embroidery, and trying to organize my craft room.  I will post pictures of the craft room when it's done. I should have pics of one of my completed scrolls soon. (it's based on Manesse codex and I LOVE IT!) See you soon!

Feeling Old

I haven't been doing much crafty stuff lately. My semester is almost over, I'm getting ready for my daughter's birthday party, and I have camping event to prepare for.
Anywas, I'm feeling a bit old today.  4 years ago I was in labor, getting ready to give birth to my baby girl.  (30 hours of labor to just end up with a c-section...and no food during those 30 hours. I was not a happy camper.) She is such a blessing to us, and especially to me.  She's my little angel who makes me laugh on a daily basis and who sometimes takes care of me if I'm not feeling 100%.  I feel old because she's turning four.  I feel young because she keeps me young. She's growing too fast and before you know it she'll be leaving the nest.
Sorry for my maudalin post.

Crafty endeavours from over the weekend

So, this weekend I should have been doing homework.  Guess what? Quelle suprise, I did not.  I decided to cut out two Viking apron dresses.  I don't have pictures yet because I really don't know how to post them within my blog.  Yes, I am a little computer handicapped. 
Friday night, I went and shot archery.  I did fairly well.  I then went again on Sunday morning and did worse.  I must shoot better at night. :) Sunday I also got to practice rapier.  I am just starting out with a bunch of ladies.  It's really fun and we all wonder why we didn't try it before. 
I may not be around a lot this week, with finals coming up, as well as my little one's 4th birthday party.  How time does fly! I also have Highland's War coming up...and a whole bunch of other events in June.
Talk to you soon!

My first ever blog post!

Hi everyone! Welcome to my little corner of the world. My name is Melissa and I am a craftaholic.  I live in Arizona (the greater Phoenix area) and am a SAHM to a beautiful precocious almost 4 year old little girl named Cady.  I am also a full time student.  This blog will be about my life, my family, and my crafty endeavours.  I am a member of a medieval re-creation society and I like to dabble in all kinds of artsy stuff from illumination to jewelry making to costuming to weaving to embroidery.  In my mundane life I also scrapbook and make cards and diaper cakes.  One day I hope to sell some of my crafty bits and make a little moola on the side.  So, sit back, relax, and enjoy CREATIONS BY MJ
