Keeping busy...

So, I didn't get the gift for my sister-in-law done until I had been sitting on her couch for an hour finishing up some hand sewing. I made her a diaper bag, which she liked very much, and will hopefully send me a picture of to share with you.

Since then, I have been working on this project.

Collecting every book in the whole house was a bigger project than I anticipated. I had plans for some organized method of shelving them, but color, the dewey decimals and all the other plans went out the window rather quickly and I just tried to make them fit and look sort of pretty. These new shelves also serve another very valuable function of removing all the books from my craft room to make room for the actual crafting. So, once again, I am trying to clean up in there. How did I get to be such a pig?
