What'cha Making???
Hey Supplyaholics!! How is it going??? I know ya'll aren't just sitting there looking at your supplies...what are you MAKING lately? What are you creating?
Personally I'm catching up on sewing, and playing with my 'new' camera and taking some fun photographs.
I'm punished from supply buying from my husband....it's true. :( I did manage to go to Hancock Fabrics today and ONLY buy the 2 types of fabric I needed for a custom order!!! I know, Pick yourselves up off the floor!
So what's new!? Show me some links! Show me what's new! Or have you gotten any good supplies in? Since I can't buy any..feeeeeed me...

I'm DROWNING!
In fabric, yarn, and microfiber!
I realized last night that I have a TON of fabric because not only did I have to iron on the floor because my ironing board is full of fabric, but I have a bag of fabric that I haven't even done anything with since I bought it 2 weeks ago. AND.. shhhh don't tell anyone, but I still haven't received what I ordered from another Order I made.
I usually have at least 3 different skeins of yarn on my desk and yes 3 unfinished projects to go with it. I do have 2 finished projects on the desk today. Oh no wait I have like 5 I forgot about my little turtles.
So today I am determined to at least put some of it away if not finish up some of the projects I have going.
Yes I am a Supply-A-Holic... what's your story?

Soapy Shot Glasses.....2nd Attempt
Well, the first attempt at Soap Shot Glasses didn't go so great...so I found silicone molds on Ebay and tried again. I'm still not happy with it, the molds were still difficult to remove and the glass itself ended up not being as thick as I'd have liked. But nonetheless, I made some and here you go:)
Blue Coconut Blast, Peach Schnapps and Margarita Lime!

Sex is the winner!
Well it looks like, according to our poll...a huge majority of you would give up sex for crafting supplies!!! This is pretty darn funny (and pretty sad for those of us with spouses who do not know we'd give up sex for supplies!!)
So if we'd give up sex for supplies...there should be a drastic drought of babies being born to crafters right? :)

Soapy Shot Glasses...
Well...............
Sooooo, the soapy shot glasses using the Ice Shot Glass maker from Bed Bath and Beyond...well, not so much worky. I managed to get some shot glasses out of it, but they really weren't all that. They were a PITA to get out of the mold. (I had forgotten to lubricate the mold before I poured them in....I apparently forgot the soapsicle fiasco of last summer...) But you know what, lesson learned! And it was not a loss-- I had my friend over from work, we made soap for a work party and had fun!! And, I got on Ebay and within minutes found 2 silicone (Man I love silicone molds) for under 10 bucks including shipping. They still made usable and nice smelling soaps and my coworkers enjoyed them!! :)
So I promise, when I get the silicone molds in and make REAL soap shot glasses, I will post pics! :)
In the meantime..what crafting fiasco's have you had? What awesome plans did you have that went horribly awry?

You know you've got it bad when...
When you agree to swap fabric for sewing. The lovely Amy and I have become fast friends and it really helps that she only lives 25 minutes away and she has 2 boys near my boys age. She's really cool too. So the other day I helped her figure out if she could really afford to hire someone to help her make her swiffer pads. When the numbers were crunched it just wasn't worth it in the end. I did tell her that if she found herself in a bind give me a call.
Weeeelll... she called. Poor thing with a day job and no time to craft, I really feel for her. So you really have it bad when you agree to sew for a friend and trade fabric and sewing supplies for your labor. I honestly would do it just to help her out, but shhh don't tell her because she has some awesome fabric just waiting for me to grab. LOL
I had a dream about shopping in her sewing room last night. HA HA!
What would you do for fabric??

Newest Supply Purchase....Soap Shot Glass Mold!
I am super excited about this mold I found at Bed, Bath and Beyond yesterday.
It's supposed to be for 'ice shot glasses' but I plan to use it to make soap shot glasses! I've put my soap shop on sale and soon vacation because I need a break from it, but I am excited about this! It will be nice to make some soap for me, no pressure, just for fun! I can't wait to play with this thing!
I'll be sure to post pics when I get going with them!
What nifty supplies have you bought lately!?

More Yarn
Ok so you remember my picture a few weeks ago of all that yarn.. well I did it again. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought 12 more skeins of yarn, oh no wait it was 14.
Let me tell you the adventure I had to go on to get those 2 skeins (the only ones I NEEDED)....
So Friday I headed to my "local" Hobby Lobby (it's about 25 min. ride). I stopped by the fabric section because I'm adding another product and I needed some cute cotton prints. I then decided that it was time for me to find the pattern for the apron I've wanted to sew for some months now. I found the pattern and then got the fabric I needed. Fifty dollars later I was headed out the door. I got all the way to the exit for my house and realized I didn't get the yarn I needed. It was almost time for the store to close so there was no going back.
The next day I write a list of what I need at the 3 stores I'm going to go to in the area to make my 2nd trip in two days worth it. I get to Target and look for my list... NO LIST! Don't you hate that? I do remember what I needed there, good thing it was only one thing. LOL! I head to Hobby Lobby and get more yarn, I guess I really did need some of it, but maybe not 12 skeins. I go to the grocery where I can find some of the food my boys can have (they have major food sensitivities), I finish up there get on the interstate in hopes of getting the boys home before they fall asleep so they can eat lunch. I was running my "list" in my head and 5 min into the trip I realize that I forgot the 1 yarn color I needed the most. AHHH! I'm so glad I was about 1 mile from the next exit so I could easily turn around and go back.
So I finally get what I needed and the boys got to eat Wendy's. I felt so funny asking for two hamburger patties with nothing on them. I have no clue if it was completely safe, but at that point it was too late in the day to worry about it, I had to feed them something.
