Feeling Crafty

Maybe it's Spring fever, who knows, but I am feeling really crafty right now.  I particularly have the itch to make a spring wreath or get outside and spray paint some furniture or something.  But I can't seem to find the time!  Between working, painting, and taking care of my boys I have no time.  I have all of these ideas and "to-do lists" running through my head but they all require time and money and I keep talking myself out of it.  At least I have my paintings to fill some of my crafty needs. 
We finally got a new rug and I am also itching to redecorate a little.  I have had red and orange accent colors for many years now and I'm just tired of it.  This too requires money and deciding what accent color to do...
*sigh* I don't know why I care, no one ever comes to our house but close family.  I guess it is just my nature to want some change every once in awhile.
I want new pillows and lamps and that would also require me to do some new paintings to go with.  I have had a large canvas I have been meaning to paint for months and it just sits in the guest bedroom...

What I really need to be doing is spring cleaning!  eeekkk!  Our house is in desperate need of organizing and a good cleaning.  I used to be so OCD about where things went and now it is so different.  I just stash things in the most random places just to get them out of the way.  I would LOVE to clean out our guest bedroom and make it an art room for all my "stuff".  I swear I have my paintings and supplies scattered throughout the house. 

Do any of you start feeling this way when Spring comes around?

Yes! I always feel like I need to deep clean things, get rid of older stuff, etc. I just never have the time or the $$ for all the organization tools I'd love to buy!

With any change of seasons I start getting antsy to make some fun inexpensive changes to my house. Sometimes as small as changing the arrangement of flowers on my front door basket. Painting is so much fun, I think you should do that. Then take a picture and share with us.

I am definitely in the mood to make spring changes to my house. Just no time!
