I've got to finish this tank top. It's been hanging over my head for way too long but I always get nervous right before I embroider faces. Every time I manage to screw it up and then I've waisted all this time on a project that doesn't work out. So I procrastinate... Not that it makes me any better when I do finally work on it but it gives me ample time to worry. As for this project, I didn't want to get bogged down by all the color possibilities so I just went for simple green. Her face , hair and hands are going to be normal colors and I'm really interested in seeing how it turns out. I am looking forward to working on this pattern again, I am a huge fan of the Virgin of Guadalupe. I love all of the green, gold and reds that are normally in a picture of her. I'm thinking a larger tapestry style project with lots of embellishments and colors but for now I hope she's happy being green.
Okay, before you look at the next picture Be Warned! It's a mess!
My next work in progress is my craft room. I've managed to trash it completely. It doesn't help that it's the first room you see when you come in our house and my husband and kids just dump their stuff right inside the door. (okay, okay I'm guilty too) Also it doesn't help that I tend to finish projects late at night and cleaning up after myself is the last thing I want to do. So hopefully posting this terrible picture in blogland will motivate my sloppy self to clean up!
I did do a little straightening last night but there's still a ways to go.
But there is one area that I am pretty proud of .... my closet. I did clean and organize it last weekend and I love it. I bought some sweater holders and they are perfect for all of my fabrics. Everything is getting washed , folded and put away so it's ready to go. I know it's not that fancy or anything but I sure like it. It's the calm in the craft room storm.
Do you see Maisy's sewing box? This is the perfect spot for it (not buried under Mom's junk) and she knows just where it is. Currently she's working on sewing a pocket and then she's going to add some princess fabric to it. You gotta love how early the need for fabric and embellishment starts. :)

Oh, your room is immaculate compared to mine. I will NEVER post a picture of it! Yikes! And how great that Maisy's sewing box is there. I've been giving Aidin all of my little scraps after cutting something out. She has a whole box full. I feel a clothes peg doll convention coming on.... We'll have to invite Maisy over for that.
I would love to clean my room, too. I'm glad we all don't have beautiful craft rooms - it just shows our creative sides!
i love your craft room.
and, hey, YOU GET A WHOLE ROOM. STOP BITCHIN'.
Just stumbled upon your blog, but thought I had to comment on your beautiful Virgin Mary. Looks great so far.
As for the craft room, I am jealous you have a whole room. Love the sweater organizer idea. I might have to try that one. My craft room is in our bedroom so I always have to clean up. If I had one of those cute little sweater organizers I could just shove everything in there. Happy Organizing :o)
