rainy days and Mondays...

Wow! It has been raining all day, and yet I can't seem to get anything accomplished. I'm pretty sure watching a documentary on U2 doesn't count!

I did however, manage to finish this bracelet. Braided tshirt fabric on leather, much cuter in person. As usual, my picture is really bad

Did this necklace yesterday. Yellow dyed beads on leather with rusty metal piece found on the ground with buttons glued on top

Call me crazy!!

Yes, call me crazy, but I have set up this personal challenge for myself and I really need your help!

I have secretly been trying(emphasis on trying) to create something everyday. Might be something little, might only be part of something.

I am not, I repeat, not calling this a new year's resolution! Although, it did start at roughly that time.

Anyway, I am going to do my best to post these at least a couple of times a week. I have a little head start so some days I may post 2 or 3 things.

I would love some encouraging comments to keep me going!

As usual, since it is a new year, I am trying to start out on the right foot. So, I have been trying to get organized. In trying to do this, I discovered that I needed a better system for our mail.

Here is what I came up with...

I used some cardboard magazine files from Ikea, cut off the top added some placemats that I found on the $1. aisle at Michaels and there you have it. I hung them with some twine and added a cute knob with a bird also from the $1. aisle at Michaels.

So I will know what is what I downloaded free printable labels from brightandblithe.wordpress.com.

Ahhh. Organization! (we'll see how long it lasts)
