Been a while...

I have been neglectful of my blog. 
Major events since I last blogged, my brother got married, then my grandma got married. Went to Hawaii twice in a month.  My oldest started middle school. And I crossed to the dark side and got an iphone.   Been pretty crazy.

This year I decided I wanted to take more pictures of the girls.  Much to their dismay.

New Hair Clippies and Projects

Been a bit absent from my blog, have some big custom orders I am working on right now :) 
Working on stitching out some new clippies this week!  Here are a few pictures,  still have a snow man, an acorn, gingerbread person, and some sports themed clippies that need stitched out.  Also got in a big order of ribbon this week. 

Someone asked me to stitch out a hat with owl eyes on it this week.  I think it turned out really well.

A preview of some of the new ribbon for hair bows coming soon.

The girls and I went christmas dress shopping today.  They picked out the cutest sparkly dresses!  The best part is they were on clearance for 11.99 each!  Now all we need is new dress shoes, I can't believe how quickly they are growing.  This picture is from my parent's 35th anniversary dinner this past week. 

Ippity Blog Hop 11/15

This little card is 3x3".  I used baby blue ribbon.  The ippity label stamp and ippity peace stamp.  

I am sooo excited for the new ippity release on the 18th!   

Ippity Blog Hop 11/08 Staz-on on Glass

So I started out to do a card, and then decided I would sew a Thanksgiving runner for the dining table real quick.  I finished and told my girls 9 and 10 that they could pick their top favorite plastic cups,  I was going to get rid of the bin that held all their cups and they could drink from glass now.  They picked them out and place them in the cupboard I cleaned out. Now fast forward FIVE minutes, yes 5, I hear an awful crash in the kitchen.  A child has just managed to get a glass to drop out of the cupboard and shatter in the sink. Luckily I was able to save the plastic cup as they had not actually left the house yet. 

The sad news was this was one of my favorite glasses,  I started with 4 and I am now down to one. They were my Grandma's and they remind me of having breakfast with her.  I started looking at them closely and realized that there was an ippity stamp was very similar!  I grabbed my bit of burlap and two oddball glasses in my cupboard to test it out!  They turned out great!  I am going to get some yellow staz-on and make myself a new set of glasses and put the last original yellow in my china cabinent.

Supplies:

lavender staz-on

drinking glass

bit of burlap ippity stamp

Apple Cards - with my Mom!

My Mom made a card for the cupcake challenge this week!  I got to craft at her house so we got to use mostly all Stampin' Up supplies!

this is my mom's card,  She used all Stampin Up.  I love the quote,

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune with out the words and never stops at all. - Emily Dickenson

This is my card!

I finally used the Happy Chef stamp set my mom got.  I used an apple out of a really really old school Stampin' Up set for the early 90's out of my Mom's stamps

My chef is paper pieced.  I love the striped pants! 

Here is an update on J's Hanna Montana Lamp!  we just need to add trim!

We used white Satin to drape the lamp. and hot glue to tack it in places to make it drape.

We are going to recreate the lamp tonight!  We have some satin, fabric flowers,  ippity stamps of course, and fabrico pads, and a few copics I am sure :) 

Ippity Blog Hop 09/13

I apologize for my lateness,  Sunday was my crafting day, or supposed to be.  I woke up witha sinus headache and decided to take a bath.  I knew I was making pumpkin muffins and sent my youngest to go check how many cubes of butter we had and to place one on the counter to warm up.  DD decided she was none to happy with that and slammed the fridge.  She came back to say we had 2 cubes.  I asked if she remembered to put one out on the counter.  She ran back down the hall to do it.  By this point I am just getting in my nice hot tub.  She screams!,  I call out what is going on?  She doesn't answer!,  argh  I get out of my tub and get wrapped in a towel and go down to the kitchen.  When my dear child slammed the fridge door the first time, she knocked a Pepsi off the shelf so when she opened it this time it fell and burst,  and spun and covered the entire kitchen from waist height down in Pepsi!  Good news is now I have a nice clean kitchen.

while my kids were inside wiping up the soda,  I decided to move my car back in to the driveway and it wouldn't start?!    Oh My goodness  What a day!  Car stayed broken till this morning when it miracously started again!

My Girls made this card!

My girls decided to make me a card because I was not having an excellent day.  ( the rice pot started smoking(not steam) and that was just the beginning)

Julia is 9 and she made the fairy and Lilia is 10 and she did the rose.  they adore using copics

 I was so impressed she even shaded the hair and outlined her in a grey to give her a shadow!  she even gave her eyes!  and using 3 colors on the rose wow  she must have heard something I said!!  I cried lol

Also soooo cute  notice the botton paper isn't quite straight, they must have glued it and then cut it because the card stock in the back is also cut the same way!  a detail a mother would love!!!

They always like to help me enter cards in challenges and WOW  the card was perfect for this week's cupcake inspiration.
