Made a bonnet for my grand daughter

I haven’t been up to par lately so I’ve been crocheting. Working a baby blankets, seems al my daughter friends are having babies, guess I'm getting there in age. lol

So in between I made those cards I posted and then crocheted this bonnet for my cutie,

I picked up my son from school yesterday and it was sunny and warm. I pass the house I grew up in when I take or pick up the kids. Yesterday I noticed the Magnolia tree in full pink. So I stopped and took a picture.

I grew up in the house on the left and the house on the right wasn’t there. My parents owned both properties and my dad kept up with the paint. (kind of sad) They sold this house in 1999. the person who bought it sold the extra property and built a house on it. now its crammed. life I guess.  But anyhow, that tree was only to the top of the railing on the porch now its huge! I wish I could dig it up and bring it home. Its so beautiful.

Well off to watch Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace. one of my favs.,

Been busy, how about you?

I have been making cards. I have been crocheting, I have been babysitting my granddaughter and hanging with my family. But lets see, what would you like to see? hum? how about this?

These were made with stamps from TAC- (if you like them you can check out Red Rubber Designs to see if they have it.they bought TAC) They are colored with copics I won from them.

after I took this pic I used stickles in the middle of these flowers.

So then my youngest daughters friend txt me and said can I get a mothers day card from you? Of course, check on facebook, the ones I just made are on there. She wanted one a bit different

Whats different you ask? well I slipped when lining the card so I had to remake front, well I cut out the colored flowers and added it to this one. I like the look but it doesn’t really show here.

Well, come back soon!

Hello Hello-

I made a few cards yesterday, I have been crocheting a few blankets- a baby 1 and one for my husband.

When they are done I’ll share it with you.

This card I made before and now I finished it with a senti-

This one is a Gina K stamp for the seahorse, tac for the sentiment, the bubbles are a cricut background.

This is made with TAC stamps. they may be Mabelles not sure.the background is a pounced chalk stamp, TAc senti

This is a card I saw somewhere and made it similar to the card. If this is your original design, I will tag you so you get credit.

What a week-

This has been a very nuts week in my world. It started with all the accidents on Sunday, locally for us. then the Monday Boston bombings, Tues was the baseball game and fear of packages, and a “gunman” scare at a local college. I don’t remember about wed, thurs the raining and flooding and Friday – finishing the monday events. Too much-

No matter your color, race, who you pray to or dont,who you have sex with (unless it’s a child) yatta yatta yatta- I don’t care! If I like YOU, I like YOU, If I don’t like YOU, I don’t likeYOU, not anything else about you but YOU.

Sorry- had enough this week, (including a facebook argument.) Off the Soap box I go

 

I made a few cards

Penny Black Stamp and the Senti is Sweet N Sassy

This is a Bugaboo digi and a TAC senti

This is a TAC card, lol all of it the dots, the senti, the image the flower. lol

My Favorite is the red one, it kind of all worked well.

I hope you forgive my rant and I hope all of you have a super weekend, love you family as much as possible and make sure the people you care about, know how much you really do.

Hugs~

Life at my house

First – my hugs and prayers to the people that have been touched by the horrific crime in Boston. Our thoughts are with you.

Yesterday my family went to a Milwaukee Brewer baseball game. They played against the San Francisco Giants and won.
      

I was able to spend the evening with my adorable granddaugter.

She is an imp and getting so big. SPOILED… but adorable!

Monday I worked my but off doing so much and accomplished nothing I needed too. well ok some but…

Went to the post office and library, cleaned and made these 2 cards

            

The sesame one- I copied the characters to a point but the layout was mine and I forgot to color the sign, lol

I colored the blue- all the way- then decided to color the red and yellow only the parts that show. DUH lol This was a cute card to do. And I had to go buy some stuff to finish it. lol

This was made with a die cut for the word noel. The poinsettias are a stamp from  TAC that I  layered. This is my favorite out of all the cards I made over the 2 days. The background tree stamp is from inkadinkadoo, I didn’t buy the system but I bought the stamp. lol card stock is what I have- a mix of so many- but the white I buy georgia pacific white from walmart.

This is made with ribbon that was on 70% off at Joanns. (the top one) I also bought a thinner one too with glittery butterflies.

I know- this looks naked right? I wanted more but nothing talked to me so I left it and figured…

The stamp is Gina K, the embossing is cricut.

  inside

This set is from TAC I cant remember where the chicken feet are from. The chicken wire is from Rubber Necker Stamps.

So this is what I’ve been up too. What about you??

Well have a wonderful day- off to create! Hugs~

Its coming back, slowly, but back

It was a busy day yesterday didn’t get much sit time in the house. Pick up drop off pick up drop off… you see a pattern? The kids have off this week for Spring Break, BUT track practice is all week. DUMB! not to many kids are showing up but I guess the dedicated ones are there so…

Well I sit and color images- put them in a box- then make cards, when I can. I picked out some of my favs and made 3 cards. Im hoping to make some today but I went to the library and picked up some books I ordered in. Not sure how today will go, plus its wed. On Wed I make sure I call the widows in my life, I have 3 friends who live alone and I just feel better if I check in at least once a week. I chose Wed cuz it “should” be my slow day. lol

These are the ones I made Tuesday:

This image is from Di’s Digis- Gone fishing- The stamp for HB is from Amuse. The wacky fish was a $1 find at Joanns or Michaels.

This adorable little guy is from Chrissy Armstrong- Courageous Carl- isnt he darling? I sponged the background and colored him.

Wow these are really bad pics. Ill retake them and change them here.

this little girl is too sweet, made some Easter cards with her. Cheryl -

This is a CANVAS that was printed from one of my favorite pics of my little ones- well not so little anymore- But this is a 11x14 canvas printed from HP and Walmart.

Easter photo 2013!

I lost my mojo

I have some cards I need to make for March, im not interested in doing it. I should buy some for them, lol but they will be angry and hurt so…

Anyhow, I was asked to make this so I did. kindof. the doll was supposed to be small but now its cuddlable.

ok well that’s all today

Hugs!

hum-

did you ever not know how or what you wanted to say anything. Or not sure what to say?

Well today is my day so-

here is a hat I made for cutie Olivia- A little lamb- from Sew Much love patterns

Puppy hat from Repeat crafter me she has a ton of patterns and stuff.

This is Cresent rolls flattened in a 9x13 pan mix sugar, cream cheese and vanilla, pour over cresents and then top with more cresent rolls, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. bake- yum eat!

this- yeah not so good until 2 days later. Looking for a better recipe. Breakfast bars

This was an improvising- layer graham crumbs with butter on bottom of 8x8 pan, cover with hersheys (or the like) chocolate. add sliced banans and the cherry topping from cheese cake (jello box or can cherrys) pour vanilla pudding over made with only 1.5C milk. the cover with cool whip or the like.

not sure we liked it. called it banana split dessert- but …

now working on a Geisha girl. done and put together just waiting on bunny pattern. lol

C-ya soon!

I like to…

I like making things- all kinds of things. I like to crochet, I like to make cards,  scrap, cross-stitch, make general crafts, scrapbooking.

             

  

I like to hang out with my grand daughter- who by the way is growing well.

               

I like to chat with friends, hang out with my kids and hubby,

I like movies- classic ones are my favorite- B&W 1930’s and 40’s – Cary Grant was a hottie! My husband reminds me of Cary- he gets more handsome as he ages.

But most of all I like God. Easter is coming, it means so much in the Christian world. I know to me it means everything. God gave his son, for me- for me. Why, why would he do that? Guess he loves me. Lucky me.
