About Me

I am just an average mom trying to find ways to sneak in "me time" when I really don't have any time to spare. I have an amazing 2 year old, a houseful of pets, a part-time job, and a husband to take care of. I also have anxiety disorder, hence the title of my blog. Crafting has always helped me reduce stress, and this blog is a further attempt at staying on track and taking better care of myself.

Finished just in time!

I am really happy with how this project turned out!

Beanbag fronts


Beanbag backs

**EDIT:  This beanbag pattern is located at

I only had one evening to make the tote bag, and I was feeling a little insecure about the bucket bag I had planned on making.  It had a lot of pieces, and construction was a little too complex for me to feel comfortable completing in a night.  So I chose another bag pattern.  It turned out beautifully and took me about 4 hours from start to finish:



I like the pattern and plan on making more of these.  The beanbags fit perfectly in it too. 

I LOVE A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT!!

Now, what's next?  First I am going to clean my sewing room, because WOW.  It is a disaster in there.  My mom is coming to visit next week and she needs to sleep in there.  If I get it cleaned and still have time to do more crafting, I need to continue cutting on a quilt I am making for a good friend of our family who helps us out a lot.  He doesn't know it's coming and probably doesn't read this but I am still not naming names.  :)  I will post pics once I start working on it again.  I also need to select another scrap block to do, since I can't ever work on just one thing at a time.  I am also going to make my son a book, using cuttings from magazines and family photos.  He is just starting to recognize letters, and I figure this will be a good book to get him started pre-reading.

  1. Love these beanie bags. Great idea for a little one. I'll have to file this project away for later because there are so many babies on the way at the moment!!
