2010-12-30T20:53:00.000-08:00

WOW! This year just seemed to fly by for us. So many new things. A new baby, a new car, parts to a new house, and a new dog. New all sorts of things including new experiences with the army. That's right, if you don't know already, I am gearing up to head off to Basic Training and Officer School for the Army Reserve. We are excited for this new chapter in our life and to see where it will take us. So many adventures in life! See everybody at the party on Saturday!

Look who won!

2009-10-01T08:36:00.001-07:00

So I did a giveaway a while back and it didn't get much attention. I'm going to try to be a better etsy blogger this winter. maybe it will kill some of the time. maybe.

so anyway... i'm giving away a HARF... this harf to be more accurate. just leave a comment on the blog and your name is entered. if you follow my blog, tell me, and i'll enter you twice. how's that sound? the giveaway ends October 8th.

cheers!

happy etsy-ing.

i promised i'd share come cutie photos of these little babies.....

ok, this one is 2 1/2 years ago when the mom was a baby. puppy death match. guess i needed my red-eye crayon.

a new little something....

2009-03-31T08:08:00.000-07:00

so i really wanted a new bag. i was craving one, but couldn't find one i liked, that suited me and my daily purposes. i need a bag that will carry things... lots of things. diapers, wipes, snacks, pens, books, flowers, dogs, terrariums and plastic cows.

..... and here it is. i sat down at my machine and cranked out this amazing bag. its so amazing that i didn't know how amazing it what until i finished it. i didn't put a picture on, but its got a row of pockets all around the bottom for anything and everything that i didn't want "floating."

its canvas and super duper sturdy. i'm telling you. anyway, i was so excited about it, i thought i'd list one on etsy and see what the response was. let me know if you like it!

oh and this is my favorite part. the straps are attached with hemp! gotta love hemp. check out the listing here.

a nice day...

2009-03-19T10:33:00.000-07:00

its such a nice day today... finally! AND the hubs is home for a week so he can study for the GMAT. SO when the kiddo takes his nap, i'm off for my morning walk. today i took my camera(s) and got some interesting shots. let me know what you'd like to see in my etsy shop.

cheers!

this one is my favorite.

this is what i'm donating to locks of love. and actually she cut off more than what is seen here. haha probably about 3-4 inches more. crrrazy. :D

not quite famous.... but close...

so..... yesterday morning i got a convo on etsy. it was a woman who wanted ALL of my star garlands for a film. that's what she said. i talked to a friend of mine and gave her the woman's name... we came to find out this woman had been the set director for a couple films.... I Am Legend and Enchanted... what?!!?!

so i call her and we work out a deal. i had 3 hours to crank out 15 garlands and ship them over night to new york. i had to recuit some help and we finished off 11. but all is well. i felt bad that i didn't meet my quota, but i'm not used to THAT kind of quota. i'm more skilled with the... "change the diaper before it falls off" quotas.

needless to say, it was pretty fun. kinda sorta, got my 1.5 seconds of fame.... and my stars might star in an upcoming movie with Nicolas Cage.

everyone be on the lookout for.. The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

My new found friend.... Copeland....

2009-02-17T19:41:00.000-08:00

I just want to show off her great work. I love her fotos and her fun personality. You can check out here shop here: Copeland. She has a great knack for catching the most beautiful images.

I hope you like her things as much as i do! Let her know you love her!

Please do not copy any of these photographs. These are Copeland's and it wouldn't be nice!

cheezombie, the name says it all.....

Here are a couple of cute things from her shop. I think they're just fantastic. I think everyone needs a little slug in their life.

I think its great that she develops her own patterns, something i'm not so good at.... but i try.... that also goes for blogging.

i've been inspired....

2009-02-06T16:01:00.000-08:00
