Treasure Hunting!

One of my all time fav things to do is treasure hunt. My latest find was from one of the local Goodwill Thrift Stores. Of course it is beachy!

It was filled with a half burnt candle and burnt wax slopped all over. So I heated it up to get the wax off and cleaned that bad boy up! I LOVE MY NEW GLASS CONCH SHELL!

Today stopped at another thrift store before I picked up my Little Mermaid from school. Not much to report but I did get a few linens and a tea towel.

While looking through some eco-friendly articles on Etsy I decided to try living without (well, GREATLY REDUCING) my use of the papertowel and facial tissues. -Until I get a bidet the TP stays!-

Here are my linen finds for today.

Tonight I might decorate them a bit and show you the results manana!

Save the Earth!

First Blog!!!



Welcome to the Beach Mama Blog!




Here is where I will talk about all things fun and crafty. Sort of a craft journal/ personal diary type thang. I never could figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up, and still don't know... so I do EVERYTHING! I'm addicted to fabric and learning new things all the time...




I love to...
sew
cook
paint
quilt
design
take photos
play with images in Photo Shop
sing
laugh
walk
scrapbook
read
swim
watch Steelers Football
BE AT THE BEACH

I don't know how to:
  1. knit - really. I can knit and purl but a scarf is as complex as I've ever gotten.
  2. crochet
  3. basket weave
  4. focus on anything but the tv during a Steelers game
  5. build a space rocket

So that's a little about me and why I'm blogging. Later Gators!
