mesa old west days and the “bliss fest”

Yesterday my sister and I headed down town, for the rare occasion of being without our kids, and had a nice relaxing time. blissfest-2There were so many things I wanted to buy. Really awesome creations and super crafty people. I have a real problem with these things. I tend to say about 200 times “I love that, but I can make that.” And I really think I could… Problem: No time!!! I can’t tell you how many yards of fabric, vintage buttons, felt, old sweaters I’m saving and sequins and beads I have in my craft room just waiting for my super crafty hands to get a hold of them.  My husband would start quoting scripture right now, like he always does, and say  1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
I will add… and a time to CRAFT.
So for now my projects and ideas sit and wait. I’ll get to them when I can. For now I love to find things that I can’t make and I know I can’t. I can’t believe that this pillow was only $10. I thought it had to be a mistake. Am I crazy to think it is fabulous… and not something I’m willing to take the time to learn to make. It looks awesome on my couch with an Anthropology pillow that I paid way too much for.

blissfest-4Yes, I know… it is painful for me to put this photo up because I know it is out of focus. However to my defense I wasn’t behind the camera (have no idea what happened). I had to post it because this guy was just awesome. Hey Summer… How did you get your hands on his gun? I didn’t notice that before.
blissfest-5No, not our dates. But rad threads.
blissfest-6This was so funny… We were trying to get a photo of ourselves. I handed my camera to one of the vendors and as she was taking it a lady watching said, “she’s got horns coming out of her head”. I couldn’t figure out what the heck she was talking about… (until I saw the photo) we laughed and laughed.
