Honest Scrap



Heidi gave me an award! Thanks!

Okay, so with this award I need to list 10 pieces of honest "Scrap" about myself.

(1) I drive a hybrid car (Honda Accord Hybrid), but secretly desire to be behind the wheel of a screaming, gas guzzling, Z6 Corvette.

(2) I am vain beyond reason. While I don't wear makeup (and I don't think I ever will again), I have (in the mid-90's) investigated the cost of liposuction. Sometimes I look at my face and all my lines and wonder what laser wrinkle removal would cost. Isn't that terrible?

(3) I have way too much arts and crafts materials. Especially paper and rubber stamps. But I continue to buy more! One time when I was thinking about how much trouble is was going to be for people after I died (to get rid of all my crap), my daughter said, "It won't be that difficult to get rid of your stamps. We'll just glue them together and bury you in them."

(4) I have never owned a weight scale. I think they are evil. I know this is in conflict with item (2).

(5) I am one of the loudest people in my office. I attribute it to having a very good diaphragm from the 6 years I taught aerobics in an "echoy" gym.

(6) I used to be organized. That was before.

(7) I graduated with high honors with a degree in electrical engineering and I have never worked as an electrical engineer. I found it easy. I seriously doubt I can now do some of the complex math equations I used to do for fun. And...I only rarely miss it.

(8) I am a feminist and probably got a good bit of that part of my personality from my mother. And I knew by watching my daughter that I passed it on.

(9) I enjoy staying up late and waking up late, but I live in a working world that likes it early. Also, I find city night lights exciting. I love watching night activity and I've been known to wake up in the middle of the night and go outside to sit on my porch to watch and listen. I live on a quiet street, but there have been, on occasion, some really interesting animals out from time to time. The most interesting was a young, very large crane that must have lost his mother, because he was making the most awful racket I ever heard. That night, most of the neighborhood was awake. :)

(10) I secretly wish to have a large cat - seriously large - cat someday. In fact, that is probably one long time fantasy that I have had since watching the Wild Kingdom as a child. I fulfilled part of that dream when I volunteered in South Africa at the Lion Park.

Warm Little Sweetness

I must admit that I have become quite fond of making little bitty sweaters.   It all started on a recent trek to India traveling for business. I needed to carry just enough yarn to keep my busy bee hands occupied during the evenings in my hotel room. There are just so many hats a person can make, right?  Anyway, having limited quantities of yarn, I decided to give a small sweater a go.  This is the first one I created. I had just the perfect little buttons to add! (It really is amazing what one might find in their cosmetic bag) I love it.  This sweater is also featured on the Pinque Peacock blog   since I used her buttons.  (Go visit and see the buttons up close) This makes the sweater a really one of a kind project! This next one is perfect for a little preemie.  It's so tiny, but features a great big snowflake! Close up of the snowflake…. I also sewed on one of the StampinUp! Frosted Finishes Embellishments.  I think it finished it off nice

Precious Boy

A quiet, misty morning walk in late March 2012. This little precious boy puts a smile on my face every time I look at him. I mean, really, who wouldn't smile like there's no tomorrow at this little guy?  I love him.  Every. Little. Thing. He almost (ALMOST) competes with my husband. My sweet husband with a similar expression.  What do YOU think?

Pour Vous

I finally took the opportunity to put together a couple little gifts this afternoon while my husband was once again slaving for the man on a Saturday afternoon. This is a little bag that holds a necklace I made for my daughter. For once I can honestly say that this was NOT difficult to create. Here's a close-up. Next up is the photo of the address label. I just LOVE decorating the OUTSIDE too. It just makes opening up the surprise package all that more exciting.
