Hello world

Hello, hello hello, (spoken with my fake British accent) and welcome to Annie craft will do! Wow, day one and so much to look forward to. Lots and lots of ideas brewing around in my scattered brain these days. First of all, I'm kinda forgetful anyway. Then throw in a pregnancy and I literally feel like I've been handicapped.

I'm so excited to share my way through these projects I have planned! My big long term project is making a quilt for the sea monkey (aka: baby on the way). Status of the long term project: collecting fabric from family and friends (this may take a while, so we'll check in with this intermittently).

I couldn't sleep this morning because I was thinking of crafts! Isn't that crazy? I got home from work last night around 1 am. I need to be getting ready for work in about 20 minutes. But I actually woke up before my alarm went off with craft ideas buzzing around my head. This kind of thing is becoming more frequent. I need to get these ideas out or my sleeping hours may start to get shorter and shorter. Of course that could happen as I take on more projects, but that will be fun!

I recently acquired a two drawer filing cabinet. It's that standard ugly brownish officey color. If I had to pick something that the color of it brings to mind it would be the DMV.  I was just planning on sticking it in the closet so I wouldn't have to look at it while it's being useful. But it occurred to me this morning (pre-alarm) that I could give it a minor transformation and it wouldn't be too awful to have out. It will be the anchor in a little mail/bill station. The hubs will appreciate this since we recently had a "where should we put our bills" conversation. Gotta love all the little details of a new place without all the stuff you need.

Then we can pay our bills and file them immediately! See? Crafting can help organize your life. This will also save our table from the bottomless abyss of a catchall it's become for everything that enters our apartment.

Transformation photos and a walk through soon to come!
