A New Direction

Yes, I'm still here. Posting has taken a backseat to, well, life. I've been busy planning for some vacation time in the summer. We are hoping to take about 2 weeks away from city life and get to the mountains and beauty of our 2 western provinces of BC and Alberta.

And, I've been daydreaming a lot about what direction I should go in for Amie Hartman Designs. During this daydreaming, I've been reading a lot of home decorating blogs, visiting online decor shops, antique shopping, and crocheting a runner for my dining room buffet.

I have decided that I get a lot of joy in creating with my hands, be it a greeting card, an altered coffee tin, or a crocheted coaster. So, I am going to expand on what I have to offer in my shop.

My shop will now also include crocheted home and personal care items, more altered items and of course, my greeting cards. So, I hope you get a chance to visit my shop and let me know what you think. I open to some helpful advice, as I'm always trying to learn. Here's a small glimpse at one addition:

I hope you are having a good weekend friends!

Great Link to a Freebie

Long time no post!

Life has been hectic lately. So, my blogging generally suffers as a result.

But, today, I took a little break to do a bit of blog surfing and came across the cutest free printable apple notes courtesy of Ez over at Creature Comforts. If you have not been to her site, you should check it out. It is one of the prettiest blogs out there in the blogging world, in my humble opinion.

I am so happy that it is Friday! We are celebrating the Victoria Day long weekend with a few BBQ's, parades and picnics, so I'm really praying for sunshine.

I hope you have a fantastic, relaxing weekend!

Happy Fridge Art

Just a quick post to share a photo of DD's magnet creation!
It was just so cheery to look at that I had to take a picture....

Books can be cute too!

I scored this cute little book while perusing the aisles at Home Sense yesterday. I plan on making some of the bags that I found within it's pages for the little princess' in my life, especially DD and my darling nieces.

My interest in this craft is at an all-time high. And I've bought enough yarn to make my next 3 projects, so I hope this obsession is not too short-lived or I will have one upset hubby!

Do you ever do that? You know, get so absorbed in a craft that you keep buying supplies, even though you probably won't be using them anytime soon? Or am I the only one with this disease?
