Is Spring Here Yet?

The days are getting a little warmer and a 

little longer, and that tells me that spring is here.

We also had some much needed rain roll through this week.  

 The clouds were beautiful.

So was the view down our street, which I love.

But with the rain came thunderstorms and dropped temps, brr. 

What is this Summer Lovin' girl supposed to do? 

She goes to the LBH, that's what!

At the Little Blue House we have been receiving

new product each week. I love when we have

new things to play with.

Along with the new products moving in, we also have

a new Blog.  A FAN blog and FB page to be specific.

I hope you will follow and check in regularly.

There will be all sorts of fun giveaways, tutorials and

updates on your favorite...everythings!!

Last week at the LBH I was able to join Miss Tracy for

her latest Pickers Class. So much fun!

We made this tray.

Mine will have different colors and hardware,

 but the construction is what you see here.

(I will post mine in a few days because the hardware

 is not attached yet and I don't want to show it unfinished.)

I've also been shopping. Shopping a little more

 then actual crafting too. Oops!

But in my defense, I needed to be prepared for a 

recent retreat I went to, and the next round of 

Front Porch Kit projects. Plus, I obviously need to 

try out the stuff that comes into the LBH to later 

show you what we do with it. Right?

My latest additions are some new stamps & dies by

Lawn Fawn,  Taylored Expressions &

Reverse Confetti. 

All are fairly new companies to the crafting industry

and have some of the cutest stamps & dies.

We were able to talk to or hang out with these

 vendors at CHA this past January. They were all 

so sweet and personable. What a great addition

 to the crafting industry.

One of the Reverse Confetti DT members is also  

a local gal and she will be holding a workshop at

the LBH this month.  Her name is Susan Liles and her 

class is called "Cuteabilities." I love her style.

She will be showing us how to get the most out of the 

Reverse Confetti stamps & dies and you 

will take home tons of great information...

and 2 CuTe Projects!!

I hope some of you local crafters can come

and join us for some classes. 

Or to do a little shopping.  

Until then, here's to warmer temps and 

an afternoon of crafting.

Get Ready to Organize!

I must have the organizing bug because I have been moving and tossing and storing for 4 days now.  It started with talking about the Workshop at the Little Blue House.  Then the other day a friend on Facebook was commenting that she wanted to organize her craft space and closets.  "Closets, that's a great idea!" I thought.  So I cleaned a closet. There is so much room for (new?) towels and sheets without them crammed in or falling off the shelf.

Then my son says he would like to have space in the garage for him and his friends to play music.... well,OK! And out goes more boxes and a corner desk that really didn't work for our purposes. Why do I hold on to these things?

Next was the Laptop.  Can't find any of the files I want amongst the old and out of date files. 

So Delete I did. (Or condensed into a single file where needed)

And tomorrow morning at The Little Blue House is the first  

of 3 workshop times to help us

"Get it Together!"With Style. 

I am ready,ready, ready!!! Just look at the disaster area.

(And yes, that is carpet on the wall. 

 Don't laugh!...the remodel of our house is a slow one.

we've only been there 5 years with a kid in college for most of it.)

Tonight, after the laundry and dinner are done, I am going to find

all of my empty jars, (believe me I have them haging around.) and baskets

to get ready for filling and labeling, along with the box for donations,

 recycle bin and trash bin. 

Are you ready to join me and the Little Blue House?

Remember, we are going to take it a task at a time. 

We don't want anyone regretting they started.

Call the LBH to sign up for the workshop at 817-431-7930

If you don't make it to the workshop, follow us at the LBH

as we post each week for the next 8 weeks all the tips and

suggestions that we can find to help you

"Get it Together,"

With Style!

Merry Organizing Everyone!
