This poor little blog. I started it with so many good intentions and I have so many Hasty Crafts and Hasty Tips to share! But my time is limited, and as Sister Beck said in this last Conference, sometimes we moms can want to do many good things, but we must prioritize and do those things which are the MOST good and will bring us and our children closer to Christ. I may be paraphrasing here.
Am I shutting down the blog? Absolutely not. But my posting will happen in the dribs and drabs of my free time, instead of every three days. Or even every week. So keep your eyes open and your smiles ready--there will be more posts soon!
Until then, be well.

Hasty Updates and Admissions
This Hasty Crafter's life has been turned upside-down for the last week and a half, but I'm doing my best to stay on top of things! Think of this post like a clip show from your favorite sitcom, but without the laugh track.
First, from the bleach pen experiment:
Here's the result from Enthusiasm's shirt. She loves that the bleach turned the design pink instead of white. My fingers are itching to try it one more time and see if I can't get some white inside the design. I definitely need to do that to my blue pants--I'm not fond of the subtle look there.
Now on to the admissions:
That's my desk after it's been cleaned. *hangs head* I fought the paper monster, and the paper monster won. BUT! The coordinating drawer fronts and fleece over the chair help it a little bit. There is *some* cohesiveness to my life! And I decided to try something similar for my figurines shelf:
Some 12x12 scrapbook paper, some double-sided sticky tape, and voila! Emphasis on my eclectic collection.
Last, but not least, the Hasty Idea Basket:
This is the place where I keep materials for the small projects that are perpetually in the back of my mind--dishcloths, crocheted hair ties, ribbon hair bands (tutorial next week!) and so on. I believe my method is called Organized Chaos. I'll take it. At least I know where everything is.
