AHHHHH a tornado has officially
struck my house ~
Do you ever get in those modes
where all you want to do is create
and the house falls apart around you ?
Well that is me since we got home ~
I had to plant some flowers since it is the end of May
and very much overdo for Texas ~
( I got that accomplished yesterday )
My suitcase is half unpacked and laundry
is everywhere ~
My "not so white" slipcovers
in my living room are in the process
of getting washed and bleached ~
I am working on a HUGE project
for someone and it is all over
my dining room and living room ~
And all I wanted to do is create
so this is what I did today instead
of what I needed to do ~
I seriously think I have ADD ~

Ohhh and I was going through pictures of
our trip to Cabo ~
I didn't realize Cabo was so deserty
(until we got there) but the weather was amazing !!

Okay I am off to try and focus on getting
something I need to do done :)

Lori, create, create! I love looking at all of your beautiful creations! The house can wait...oh, wait...I think I'm just saying that to justify MY messy house...! ;) I can't wait to try making one of the charms from your tutorial...just need to find some of that cool gel stuff!
Hugs!

We love Cabo. We always like to take a boat trip that goes around the big jutting rocks. So beautiful. Your creations are beautiful too!! My house is kinda a mess right now. Trying to decorate for Memorial and July 4th...Stuff everywhere!!
i call it "c.a.d.d." ...creative attention deficit disorder! i am in the chronic stages of the disease..lol!
Oh Lori, we sound so much alike, I can so relate to everything you just said.... and when we got back from our vacation, the suitcases were in the Living room for over a week, half unpacked too.
hugs~~~ Daphne
oh, I know exactly what you mean!!!! its way more fun to create!!!
Oh, man, I can so relate!!!!! I always seem to be inspired to create when I have a deadline looming on my "real" work . . .
xxoo
CREATE UNTIL YOU CAN CREATE NOOOOO MORE! :)

Lori - I'm with everyone else. The house can wait, creating is much more fun! Beautiful charms! Well, everything you do is beautiful and I love looking at it. Glad y'all had a fun time. Cabo looks wonderful. Beaches are my favorite!
Paula
Gorgeous creations, Lori! I'm sure playing with the beautiful fabrics and laces was more fun than doing the other things :-).
It looks like you had a wonderful vacation. That's great!
Hugs,
Julia
OMG Lori....I do believe that after the tornado struck your house it bounced right on over to mine! I am soooooo with you on everything you just blogged about! Just got my suit case unpacked from our Hico show, still need to clean, but I too have been working in the yard and there is sooooo much I need to be working on for Canton, and I am going out of town for a few days next week and then when I get back, will have 3 days before heading to Canton! And here I am ......on the computer like I have nothing to do! LOL
Hugs....Cathy aka GGJ
I love the projects you've been working on!! What fun and ruffly... (is that a word).. anyway, I love them!!
I can relate, but I think you did very well with your time. I love your newly created items. I like Petite Michelle's CADD name. I have it too. Wouldn't it be great to have a 'wife' that did all the domestic stuff so we could just play...I mean create~lol. A business and marketing manager wouldn't be bad to have around either (sigh). At 62 I'm probably too old to be adopted by anyone like that. Take care, Connie
LOL @ ADD
Lori, I love everything you are making! Your photographs are gorgeous! Looks like you and D had a great time in Cabo ~ Have fun creating in your mini tornado...
I sooooooooooo feel your pain! I had to shovel the top of my desk in the studio. WHY do I let it be a dumping ground? I know you had an amazing time on vacation! Can't wait to see the photos!
HUGS!
Charlene
Looks like you got a ton done to me!
Hi Lori,
You may think you're ADD, but if that's what ADD is...I want it! I don't get a fraction of what you get done in a day. You are such a talent and I love getting to see the things you create!!!
hugs from here...
Okay girl....we must have been cut from the same cloth! I am off the charts ADD and your story read like my thoughts. So......they say the first part is admitting you have a problem. :)
Embrace your ADD, it's a gift! :-))
Thanks for the smile today!
everything looks lovely! But then again everything you create is! xo
Oh but I bet you had lots of fun!
that is my life EVERYDAY!! i don't even wash slipcovers. i just cover the slipcovers with covers....what is the name of my disfunction??? hahahaha. my husband has a constant suitcase pile in our bedroom, i have stacks of laundry i never put away at the top of the steps (hidden of course), i still have stuff i haven't unpacked since we moved here and i do at least 3 loads of dishes a day while i try to knock out something creative between it all in the process. glad i'm not alone!!!! your purses are adorable!!!!! good luck with the flowers this time of the year in texas. i know how hot it gets there!
your sweet cabo pic is so cute....
blah, blah...there aren't enough hours in the day, right.
happy creating.
sue
I love looking at all of your beautiful creations!

LOL! Lori, if you have crafting ADD, it looks like it's a good thing to have judging by your creations.
Hugs, Diane
Beautiful creations, I'm on way to check out your shop!
Lori
I love your honest post! :) Yes, I have a household just like that...more often than I want...the dining room, kitchen island,and studio space...it just spills from one thing to the next! I adore your gorgeous projects - you are such a talented lady!
Lori, your creations are so beautiful and it looks like everyone else thinks the same... everything is sold already!
Blessings
Rebecca
Wow Gal! You sure created some lovely things!! It would have taken me a week to complete all that!!
All of it is soo beautiful! If that is ADD...I need some!!
Have a joyful Sunday, sweetie!
Becky
Lori...
I understand what you mean. My mind is always racing and my best laid plans have a way of going off track when I see something else that needs to be done. I can't seem to get "out from under" the mess in my house as well. (which is strange for me this time of year) I think we have to try to remember to not feel guilty about doing that which we enjoy (which turns out to be a huge blessing in the end) :)
Blessings & Hugs,
Karen

I love what you've done with your time here Lori. You know what, those slipcovers will get washed at some point but you have to create when the mood hits you. Just beautiful! Lisa
Your ADD serves you well! Your creations are gorgeous! Sometimes, a girl just has to create!
Carol
ADD...so what? Who cares? I think it's great that you are moved to create...totally overtaken by the creative muse within you!nthat is passion! That's probably why your work is incredibly romantic, not to even mention how stunning everything always is here!
The crochet lace on this pocket pillow....drool.....you wouldn't happen to have time to send me a closeup photo of that photo so that I could duplicate the crochet pattern with my threads and handy hook!?? No worries if you can't, I just figured it wouldn't hurt any to ask!
Ciao Bella!

So much work but creating is so much more fun! I love petite michelle's comment "CADD"! No wonder I can't get anything done...sounds good anyway.

Oh. lovely picture of you two. =)
Hi Lori, I love Cabo. I was thinking the photo of you and yours looked like you were staying at the Pacifica. Beautiful background to go along with a beautiful couple,
