Phoenix Fire Pit

I am sooooooo excited that my hard working hubby is starting a blog of his own to showcase his super duper uber cool fire pits and rail road art made from recycled materials!!! It's called Phoenix Fire Pit and can be checked out by going HERE!

My Accomplishments So Far

Despite the fact that I haven't been posting pics of finished projects, I have been saving their "title" as a draft as I do them. Someday, when I get a more efficient way of looking for photos on my computer, I hope to go back and post them, as was my original intent with the blog!!! So...to date I have completed 70 pinned ideas out of the 1000!!! currently pinned to my Pinterest boards.

One of my New Year's resolutions was to not make anything that took my time away from the boys while they are home. Though crafty things that involve the littles and food stuffs that go in our bellys are still permissible. It's going to be hard, but I think worth it...especially to Abe now that Levi is in school and he's lost his playmate. I still do 20/10 with him, so I can get the usual home stuff done...cleanin', bill payin', cookin', but ME projects are on hold until Abey goes to school...or someone watches him. (wink wink...maaaa)

However, I am now in party planning mode for Levi's 6th birthday and will at some point need to make a few things for the party, but they aren't time consuming and Abe might even be able to help me. I am "allowing" myself some time to make his invitation during my 20 of 20/10 and not gonna consider it a violation of my resolution because technically I'm doing it FOR Levi;)

With regards to my blog, I am so glad I can look back and see what I have accomplished, albeit not the way I had envisioned. I was surprised and ELATED when I totalled all 70 of the posted and drafted posts. I am sooooo THANKFUL for Pinterest and the spark it ignited in my heart to actually MAKE stuff:)))
