    T Tuesday: Pain in the neck edition

    20130923_3460

    BAH! It’s come around to T stands for Tuesday too quickly for me this week. Where does the time go??

    Maybe its the plethora of things on my calendar lately.

    Or perhaps the pain in my neck and shoulders is what has me out of sorts. I am getting better though. A couple trips to the chiropractor and some stretching exercises have been very helpful.

    20130922_3457I had eluded to some changes that were possible on the horizon…it looks as if that is not to be right now. Perhaps that means I’m supposed to go in the direction I had been planning before this other opportunity presented itself. I know I’m being vague but until things are set in stone, I feel like I can’t say much more than that.

    Why is a pink frosted cupcake significant you ask?  Don’t you just love it when I put words in your mouth?  Well, that is how we found out that one of our crafters is expecting a baby girl at New Years. FUN!

    I’ve been having a mini love affair with flowers lately. It seems most things I do have them.

    I once again have to apologize for not getting around to everyone…or truthfully…hardly anyone last week.  Tuesday came and went in the blink of my eye and the rest of the week was crazy as well. By the weekend I did have little bit of time but honestly I just didn’t have the energy to visit.

    I’m off to knitting and a couple errands. My usual Tuesday gigs.

    I’ll be back in plenty of time for visiting today.

    What are you doing today?

    T-shirt scarf

    You may recall that I showed this sneak peek of a project that looked pretty much like a pile of rags. Well…not quite.

    upcycled shirtI was inspired by a friend who sent me a link to this upcycled t-shirt scarf after making one for her daughter. It’s a quick and simple no-sew project.

    20130916_3418 The boy had just outgrown yet another shirt, so it was perfect timing.

    The shirt I used had seams on both sides. The tutorial didn’t allow for this. I decided to take extra bits of shirt and tie a knot to cover each seam that was exposed.

    Next time I’ll use an adult size shirt to make the loops longer that way it won’t be as tight when doubled up.

    Embracing my inner artist

    Some days I have trouble labeling myself as an artist. I find it super easy to call myself a wife, mother and blogger…but artist, I struggle with.

    This quote makes me me realize that I can embrace myself as an artist after all.

    Now if my neck and shoulders would play nicely. I’ve been in pain since Friday afternoon when apparently I moved in some way that my body disagreed with.

    Looking down at the keyboard is very painful. Yes, I still occasionally look down when I type. I think mostly out of habit…but it hurts!!!

    Chiropractor in the morning…hoping that will set me right.
