CRAFTYNESS ON CRAFTNEST

This is not the first time I mentioned Monica Ewing's Craftynest and at the rate she is going, I doubt it will be my last. I signed up for her blog specifically to be notified of the 'after' for this project.  I knew it would be awesome but oh, how I didn't know that it would be this awesome.  It's such an incredibly simple project and in her typical easy going style she breaks it down (cost and all) so magically. I need something like this, like yesterday and now I am wishing that I didn't commit myself to other plans this weekend (I know what your thinking, like I really would be doing this project, a girl can dream).

One plan is supposed to be entertaining--The giant Rose Bowl Flea market. I have never been and really wanted to go, the Fancy obliged even though shopping and shopping for what he considers 'junk' is not his cup of tea.  Then he had to cancel because of work and I am actually considering going by myself.  I want you to know going anywhere by myself doesn't bother me, I actually like my own company but it's the whole highway bit that makes my mouth go dry and my heart race.  I did go far away from my zipcode last weekend and so perhaps I am feeling empowered by that success but I can guarantee you every minute until I make my decision will be filled with the idea of the highway.  I really am not sure if there is a side street route that won't take me through a crack riddled neighborhood so I am going to have to get that idea out of my skull (I will take highway over crack den any day). So that's my lil' plan.  I do hope your weekend is less mentally stressed filled than mine. I do know there is medication for this but really now I don't think I need to be on meds when a highway is not part of my every day.  I'll just drive the Fancy nutty with my neurosis and just know that I am the safest driver on the highway.  If you are out on Sunday in LaLa, I won't be the one that you need to be worried about, I am a Jedi haggler though so if we come upon the same treasure you should be very worried...
