Where has the Time gone?

Where has the time gone? It has been a long time since I could actualy reach my computer. Twins have that effect on you. The belly is the biggest opstical and now that it is gone, I only have to find the time to sit down with the computer. So here we go I will be trying this whole blog thing again. I believe it will be easier with out all the extra hormones clowding my judgment...we hope.

Christmas Hangining Flower Ball

        Quardinating ribbon (Enough to hang)

Globe Ornamant

        1 - 12x12 Christmas paper (doesn't need to be double sided)

The globe ornamant is the perfect size for your tree or it can be made into a garland, just bring enough paper to make as many as you want. As for the Hanging Flower Ball, I will be using it as my Mistle-toe this year, but it is also great as a table topper or you can make it out of gold/silver and make a star for your tree! Each project is fun, fast and very easy!

Don't forget to bring a friend and a snack to share! We hope to see you there!!!

Halloween Spirit!

There is nothing better than an excuse to make a new craft and this is what I did today. I got no insperation other than the products that were in front of me as I was trying to find a project for me and my 3 year old. So with a little bit of this and a little bit of that I came up with this.

The little witches hat is actualy a barette and I used markers to color in the 'wicked' and the small cat. They were just those little $1 pre cut wooden shapes that are un-finished.

I told my self that this was the year I would have a wreath for every holiday or season and here is my first. Halloween! I just loved all this stuff adn it was so simple. It cost a little more than I wanted but it turned out great! And the best part is that I made it removable so that I can take the decorations off the frame and yet they will stay in the right place and I can use the wire frame for the next holliday...though I will probably just spend the $3 bucks and buy another frame.

This was so fun and it only took me an hour or so to make! I am loving it!

Look What I Can Do!

Ever since I lost my job I have been looking for ways to make up my income (while I am looking for a job) and here is what I came up with.

This was my first. I just love this fabric my sister Teresa gave me.

Who doesn't Love poka dots?

Ok, so I am alittle but bias when it comes to this purse. I fell in love with the Fabric over 2 years ago and have held onto it ever since. Now I plan to make an entire purse/bag line in this fabric...just because I love it!

Have you noticed a theam in the color yet? I sware I have other fabric I just havent gotten to it yet, but can you blame me? These shopper girls are just great!

So I thought this little fish pattern was so cute! This purse is a little longer than the others. while the others are big enough for your paperback and the esentials, this larger one will hold your hardback book along with all the other stuff you have to have.

This I made for my neice, Haylie's 3rd birthday. It is so cute that I am going to make a Line of bags from this fabric Too!

So watch out for my etsy store to open up soon and I hope you enjoyed the teaser!

Oliver!!

My Blue Eyed Boy! Whatch out Ladies here comes another Heart Breaker!

How could you not love this guy? He is all smiles and giggles. Though he is a moma's boy and every moment of everyday must be spent in my lap, how can I say 'no'? He is perfect...except for those fits, is it possible to hit the terible 2's at 1yr's old? I hope that means he will grow out of it soon. I have never seen a kid do fits like him. I am guessing he is bi-polar or something because he can change from the happiest boy on the plannet to the fit king of the world! I am talking kicking, thrashing, scraming, you name it. Then 2 minutes later it is all giggle, flirt, play. What is up with my boy? I guess to get the happiest little man he must have an evil side too! Oh, but I wouldn't take him any other way!

Jacob!

There is a new sweety in my life and I can't get enough of him...My new nephew Jacob.

People say he looks alot like my brother, well I am glad they are all wrong (he looks like his mommy) because he would not be as cute if he did. lol!

I just want to eat those little cheeks up!
