Happy Friday - Halloween is coming

My 3 year old Grandson Michael playing with his daddy in his new football uniform. Wearing Raiders #21, his Papa coached Naamdi when he played Pop Warner. I think he had a great start...don't you?

LHS Homecoming 1975

Tonight, 35 years later, we will be attending Homecoming. Wow! Time flies when you're having fun. I'm a Wife, Mom & Nana now! Just a silly little girl then.

Gatorade container pumpkins

Good morning and Happy Friday. These cute little pumpkins were made with recycled Gatorade containers. I cut the faces from black vinyl using the Happy Hauntings Cartridge. I painted the lids green, added silk leaves and that is it. They are perfect for adding a battery operated votive light and lining your driveway, or filling with cookies or candies for a great giveaway for a neighbor, co-worker, manicurist, teacher etc. Enjoy.

Back on after Sinus Headache relief.

Eww I do not like sinus headaches. It is still lurking but manageable today. Didn't even have my grandson yesterday. :(

Well, my new kick is repurposed stuff to hold foodie gifts for the upcoming holiday. Now I don't drink sweet drinks, so I bought this Countrytime Lemonade and poured the contents out into a baggie that someone will benefit from so I could have the container. Isn't she cute. It is gonna contain my Snowman Soup and a little tag.

My Weekend Project

Good morning and Happy Monday. Every year my husband goes for a 5-day trip to build houses for the poor. I try to accomplish something when he is gone. I am a messy crafter and love doing all kinds of crafts so I need the materials to do that. Well, then I accumulate craft supplies. I enlisted our daughter Melissa to come help me, promising her lots of goodies to take with her, lots of good food and a sense of accomplishment. Now we only have a 10 x 10 space to work with so it is not perfect but it is so much better. I will post the before pic later tonight.

Let's celebrate baby girls today

For my great niece Sadie. Filled a basket with special handmade treats. Burp cloths that just get better as you wash them. Closet markers. She has enough clothes to change several times a day. One of my famous diaper cakes. 90 diapers to make. I love the baby washcloth and spoon lollypop, and the spa socks for the mama shaped into a cupcake highlighted some of the goodies. And then we had to go visit when she was brand new and give her a hug and kiss.

Happy Thursday

This hat is Orange with leaves on top. My niece Sadie is going to be a pumpkin for her first Halloween. She needed evening wear! I also made her an infant headband orange with the leaves for daywear!

I enjoyed a zoo day with my daughter and grandson yesterday. We read from the new Halloween book I brought him. Cliffords First Halloween. Michael likes me to read it over and over until he can "read" it back to me.

I also knitted 4 hats for my 7 hat order. I still need to add the daisy to them but the colors are beautiful. Melissa fell in love with this new craft so she took me to Michaels and luckily I had a coupon so I got her her first set of looms too. She did great.

Have a great day. The weekend is almost here!

Soft Infant Headbands with felt design & embroidery

These are fun. So soft. Adorable on a baby girl. Velcro allows you to mix and match. My favorite is the sunflower and watermelon. Oh I love the ladybug too. Ok...I love them all. These are the colors I have but I can mix and match so if you want a purple watermelon...ok.

My newest favorite apron to make

I have made several of these frilly retro aprons and the Christmas ones are in line next.

Enjoy

Tuesday Treat

It is Tuesday. My first Friday of the week as I do not work on Wednesdays.

I finally designed my 3 x 3 calling card for the Cricut Circle. I plan to swap them either by mail or if I ever get to attend an event.

I tested many different designs and had to consider the quantity (hundreds) that I would need to make. I knew I wanted them to have tulips of course and reflect me without needing to see my name.

I decided on a tulip from the Create a Critter cartridge. I decided to stick with the same design but make different color combos to relieve boredom. My first batch has a pink tulip with a green gingham and blue dot background. I may add a "terra cotta" pot but haven't decided yet. I made 10 last night and keeping that pace should be painless. I decided not to do any embossing or inking because of the quantity reqired.

I will post a picture but I forgot to take one.

Have a great day!

Happy Monday

It's Columbus Day but just another work day for me. My creative mind and fingers want to be home doing crafts. I have so much to do. My newest projects are using my Knifty Knitter Looms. So far I have made 4 hats with flowers. One in Ucla colors for the crosstown rival game, a punkin' one for Sadie, this adorable white one and a purple one for my friend Anne. Gonna make some pink ones in case I need them in the future. hint hint

Dinner is done for tonight. We have preplanned leftovers of BBQ ribs, potatoes and green chili enchiladas. mmmm

Have a great week.

Getting ready for Halloween. This gloomy weather certainly is helping.

Enjoyed using the Martha Stewart Glow in the Dark glitter for a surprise for my baby brothers family. We'll see if he thinks it is scary enough or too cute.

Have a great day!
