Just Like That, I am Back

 If I said I was back, would you believe me? Blogging is complicated, and there are so many "get rich quick" blogging schemes that make it look like you are a lost cause if you are not currently earning money blogging. And why are you even blogging if you don't have multiple streams of income and entertainment. If you don't have a brand? I do have this website, but I do not have Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (you don't want to see me dance), or whatever is next.  Heck, I haven't even updated this since before the pandemic. So why am I here, writing about being back and then, probably ghosting for another two years? Life has been rough. It's been painful and overwhelming. I am so thankful for you my readers, or what is left of you. I am so thankful you are reading this post. I am so thankful that you are still committed to making the world a more exciting and more sustainable place.  Keep up-cycling my friends, and you never know, I might be back again with an

Crafting Blah to Crafting Yeah!

I have been crazy busy planning a Night At The Races for Phoebe and Holden’s Early Childhood PTA (Yes they do exist and it is a fabulous way to meet new mommy friends whether you are a SAHM or Working Momma). So the fundraiser was a fabulous success, money was made, people were fed, and drinks flowed.

The whole planning of this event pretty much took everything I had out of me. I have been low energy lately, dealing with some random medical issues, bouts of depression, and general momming duties. Crafting has been on the back burner. I didn’t want to stop, but I had no time.

The Fundraiser was a HUGE succes!

It has been so crazy that I just stopped making things. I stopped doing crafting shows, and I stopped being the crafty momma I know I can be.

Taking a break has been relaxing, but darn it I am itching to start making things again. I want to get my craft time in, and I want to just randomly craft things for the kidlets whenever I feel like it.

Now that I have the desire, and a lot more free time on my hands you would think I would have whipped up three or four tee shirt dresses already, restocked my ETSY shop, and made a few gifts for my daughters friends. Nope I have done nothing this week, absolutely nothing. I haven’t even updated the blog.

So now I am back, raring to go, and hoping that next week will be my week. The return of crafting Robin. Watch out world, the crafty momma is back and boy does she have a lot of Christmas gifts to start sewing.

Hello lovely T-shirt Diary followers!  The Pink Bat Girl is here to rescue you from plain old scrap wood and boredom today with a fun Memorial Day upcycled project!  My block wood is courtesy of an old toddler bed that all of my kids used from Ikea.  The bed has been given away, however, we still had the old wood that went under the mattress.  I thought it would make some really great wood blocks! I took this old wood and my hubby's handy dandy saw and cut them into my desired lengths!.. I love power tools!  So if you would like to make some of these fun decorations here is what you need! Ingredients wood blocks scrapbook paper cut into small strips red, white and blue paint Mod Podge craft glue jewels Start by cutting your wood into blocks.  Paint the top block red, the second block white and the last block blue. When the paint it dry start Mod Podging your blocks with the scraps of scrapbook paper in a quilty kind of design. When mine were done they looked like this. Then I u

If you are visiting this party I know you are up for a good challenge. Please sign up for Stashbusting September . You know you have some stash to bust! It's time for Upcycled Awesome, your green linky party dedicated to upcycled crafts and more.  As always you have until Saturday at Midnight to post your upcycled project.

For more information on upcycling check out this post . Here are a few of my favorites from last week. If you are featured please do not forget to grab a button.

Not really. It's just been so darn long since I have actually blogged I figure a catchy title would grab your attention. Are big things in the works, maybe? I would love to get this blog up and running again. I want to be writing again, and I want to be crafting again. Will it happen? Stay tuned!
