I know. It's been MONTHS. And yet I have new followers! HI! Thanks for joining. I promise to be better about posting! I've just been super lazy. I've been finding great things to try left and right, but I just sat on my butt and didn't do them. <br />
<br />
Actually I was working out like a crazy person due to my awesome <a href="http://flesh2fresh.com/default.aspx">online trainer</a>. It was taking up all of my craft time, but my belly was starting to get flat! FLAT! It was incredible! But now I'm finding I miss my crafts. So I'm back! <br />
<br />
This<a href="http://www.happyclippings.com/2011/04/diy-colored-pencil-vase-teacher-appreciation-gift-ideas.html"> craft</a> came from <a href="http://www.happyclippings.com/">Happy Clippings</a> just in time for Lady Loo and I to do for her K teacher and her student teacher. Both wonderful at their "craft". Get it? So keep this in your repertoire (google helps me spell) for next year...or the end of the year!<br />

Did you miss me? Well 2 people didn't as they hit the road Jack. Maybe they'll come back when they see this cute cardigan! I got this idea from a fun place called <a href="http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/">Cut Out + Keep. </a>I couldn't find a cute black cardigan for Lady Loo anywhere under $15 but I did find this very adorable black sweater for $4 at Target and knew I could make a cardigan out of it.<br />

I decided to add a little sass by putting lace on it. I kinda love it. So does Lady Loo! Oh and she thinks I'm the best mom in the whole world. I'm just putting that out in cyber world to come back to me when she is a teen. I'm gonna need those precious moments to keep me from screaming I'm sure! Thanks to Amber for this great<a href="http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/how_to_convert_a_sweater_into_a_cardigan"> tutorial</a>! Have a fab weekend full of awesome cardigans. I vote for cardigans to be in style forever.<br />

</div>I know. I'm obsessed with owls. But seriously this was just too cute to pass up. I got some very plain matching jammies for the kiddos this Christmas and they just needed something. So when I came across this <a href="http://amazingmae.blogspot.com/2009/03/owl-applique.html">owl applique</a> at <a href="http://amazingmae.blogspot.com/">Amazing Mae</a>, I just had to do it! I made my own Santa hat and Mrs. Claus hat. It wasn't easy to sew around each little part, but I think it turned out ok. I heart owls!<br />

I haven't had a minute to even think about this blog. But I finally have a minute right now to tell you what Lady Loo and I made for her teacher this year. I loved <a href="http://testosteronetimesthree.blogspot.com/">this idea</a> from <a href="http://testosteronetimesthree.blogspot.com/">Testosterone Times Three</a>. It was so fun and took only 15 minutes. I did the crayon breaking and gluing and Lady Loo did the placing. We later put it in a frame to make it look a bit nicer. It turned out pretty cute, don't you think? I think her teacher kinda loved it. We also gave her a gift card to a local coffee shop. Merry Christmas everyone! I'll be back after the holidays!<br />

Lucky you! You get more creepy photos with my kid's face blocked! Whoot! I know you will have nightmares tonight...but at least you will have a cute hat to look at. FYI...I told Mr. Man he could have a treat if he wore the hat...so he's grinning like crazy. The boy loves some treats. I'm a briber. I admit it. It's how I do things and it's working out well for me. <br />

I got <a href="http://deliacreates.blogspot.com/2010/10/lumber-jack-hat.html">this hat tutorial</a> from <a href="http://deliacreates.blogspot.com/">Delia Creates</a>. What a creative genius right?

</div>I love <a href="http://texasmonkey.blogspot.com/2010/04/tutu-leggings-tutorial.html">this</a> idea from <a href="http://texasmonkey.blogspot.com/">Texas Monkey</a>! I got these cute leggings at Target and just spruced them up a bit. Very easy and such a great idea. I gave them to my bff along with <a href="http://thecraftycopycat.blogspot.com/2010/10/yummy-onesie.html">this</a>. I think she liked them! <br />

</div>Wouldn't this be cute with red leggings and white tule for Christmas? Make sure you check out the link not only for the tutorial, but also for the pictures. These look SO much cuter on chubby baby legs than they do sitting on my back porch. <br />

I have GOT to hire a better photographer. The enginerd is just not cutting it. I know it's my fault for waiting until dusk but hey, it's dark at like 3:00 now! Oh well. You get the idea. I have a new circle skirt! It's super easy to make, but I made the elastic to big so I'm going to have to fix that. Or give it to one of my prego bffs! ;) I love it though! I'm loving navy blue lately. It's my color of the month I guess. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG450odLry-PL52xFPU6qVeIx1KrZTdzcTxz-o5Ll9myfAdCrx2XNlS-_499om2yh9KSCsARZo2cDUoLBpGm6rKCL-1TN2upwBSaOWVzVwzvL5qFo8LMa4uLvPK2L8r-C63oCEy9NinaZo/s1600/DSCN1413.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG450odLry-PL52xFPU6qVeIx1KrZTdzcTxz-o5Ll9myfAdCrx2XNlS-_499om2yh9KSCsARZo2cDUoLBpGm6rKCL-1TN2upwBSaOWVzVwzvL5qFo8LMa4uLvPK2L8r-C63oCEy9NinaZo/s320/DSCN1413.JPG" width="178" /></a></div><br />

So of course I got this awesome <a href="http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/tutorial-circle-skirt.html">tutorial</a> over at <a href="http://www.dana-made-it.com/">made</a>. I love that blog. Make sure you follow the directions for the adult version at the bottom. I bought too little of fabric at first because I am a skimmer. One of these days I'll actually read the whole set of directions. Maybe. Ok that's all. Have fun sewing something for you!<br />

I know this is a craft blog, but I came across this amazing blog post yesterday that sums my thoughts up completely. It is so well written. I could have never written such and eloquent post, yet it's exactly how I fell. If you'd like to take a peek...<br />

I made this ruffled shirt using the<a href="http://dthatssewme.blogspot.com/2010/10/tute.html"> tutorial</a> from <a href="http://dthatssewme.blogspot.com/">That's Sew Me</a>. It's even flattering on my chubbo bell-eh because it hides the muffin-top.<br />

The strip down the middle on my shirt turned out a little wobbly, but I don't mind it that way. I have such a HARD time sewing on jersey knit! Anyway, now I'm working on a circle skirt for me. Unfortunately for me I read the directions wrong and only got enough material for the child size one. So I have to get some more material. :) It's kinda fun being selfish every once in a while and making something for moi.<br />
<br />
So go ahead and make this. It cost me $4 for the shirt which is a whole lot less than JCrew would charge me. <br />

This year I decided to do a Treat theme for costumes. Lady Loo was a cupcake and Mr. Man was a chocolate chip cookie! They LOVED them. The cookie was my own "design". I use that word loosely because frankly it was 2 big circles and 15 little circles cut out of brown and tan vinyl (that I had left over from <a href="http://thecraftycopycat.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-friend-loves-staches.html">this</a>) and then hot glued on. SUPER easy. <br />
<br />

</div>The cupcake was also easy and the tutorial is found at <a href="http://lemontreecreations.blogspot.com/2010/09/no-sew-cupcake-costume-and-winner.html">Lemon Tree Creations</a>. I LOVED how it turned out. Also, I sprayed her hair pink to go with the "frosting". So much fun. I created a little cupcake bag to use while trick or treating. It turned out ok for not having a pattern. I really loved making these costumes and we are already trying to come up with something fun for next year! Happy trick or treating everyone!<br />

Why is my mac saying onesie is spelled wrong? For ONCE I'm RIGHT!!! Whoot! Me: 1 Mac: 0...well actually Mac: 694. Whatever. I BOUGHT the mac. Anyway...<br />
<br />
How much do you love <a href="http://www.graceviolet.com/2009/09/ruffles-as-icing.html">this</a> cupcake onesie over at<a href="http://www.graceviolet.com/"> Grace Violet</a>? I fell...head over heals. Seriously so cute. I had to make one for my bff's baby due in January. I'm the kind of person who LOVES surprises so we didn't know the sex of our babes...but I gotta say, having friends who find out...it sure does make crafting and shopping SO MUCH easier! My other bff isn't finding out so I still get to have a fun surprise in April. But that means she's not getting anything until after the bebe`is here. <br />
<br />
Want to see some photos even if they were taken at night with a flash and don't do the onesie justice? Ok!<br />

This is a "not a craft" post. I won't have many of these, but I thought you all might like to see how I use jewelry to decorate...and how I keep my jewelry from ending up all over our bedroom. It has its own place! I got this wall decoration at Pier 1 for super cheap. I still don't know why it was on sale, but I don't care. It serves its purpose perfectly. It's not too tight against the wall, so I'm able to even hang my chunky bracelets (7 tries at spelling that stupid word before google helped me out...and it's spelled phonetically...sheesh) on it. I hope you like this idea for using jewelry as decor!Mommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06547400587582790449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5735372088829826400.post-8494746529294728612010-10-21T18:12:00.000-07:002010-10-21T22:36:48.450-07:00No time to craft!We have been busy around here and I haven't really had much of a chance to craft lately. I remembered I made a bracelet cuff a while back and never posted about it. I think I forgot and also I don't have fabulous pictures of it. But the idea is awesome and it looks pretty on my dresser. I got the idea from Disney again over at <a href="http://www.rufflesandstuff.com/2010/04/rose-cuff-bracelet.html">Ruffles and Stuff.</a> Her cuff is awesome while mine turned out mediocre. But it was one of my first copycat crafts so hopefully I'm getting better at following directions!<br />

I love <a href="http://tearosehome.blogspot.com/2010/05/guest-blogger-ruffles-and-stuff.html">this post</a> by Disney (how cool is her name?) from <a href="http://www.rufflesandstuff.com/">Ruffles and Stuff</a>. She was a guest poster at <a href="http://tearosehome.blogspot.com/">Tea Rose Home</a> and I fell in love with this cheap/easy beautiful dress. <br />

I knew it would be more of a shirt for Lady Loo though because she is in 6x clothes. It looked so darling on her and I think it will be perfect this fall under a sweet little cardigan. I'm sure it will still fit her next spring/summer too. What do you think? Cute yes?!<br />

</div>I love flowers. But since I do not have a green thumb but I do have a...um...thread thumb? Ok, we'll go with that...I'll stick with fabric flowers. I recently found <a href="http://sisters4saymoreismore.blogspot.com/2010/10/pretty-poofy-hair-clips.html">this</a> tutorial from <a href="http://sisters4saymoreismore.blogspot.com/">Sisters 4 Say...More is More.</a> They are fun and funny and quite possibly the most stylish girls ever. How fun right?! <br />

</div><div>So I decided to make some fabric flowers to match the awesome dress I'm making Lady Loo for our family photo op next week. One also happens to match Mr. Man's <a href="http://thecraftycopycat.blogspot.com/2010/10/little-boy-tie.html">tie</a> as well. I promise I do have more fabric, but I'm trying to get some fun stuff made for our pictures. </div><div><br />

Ok, so I'm a freak. It stresses me out to have my kids face all over the internet...as if there are millions looking at my little blog. But still. I'm a freak, so you have to look at a creepy pic of my kid with a blocked out face. It's how I roll. <br />

In all honesty it will forever be "THE" costume. You know, the one that all others will be compared to. It's just so stinkin' cute. AND EASY. Are you sensing a theme to my posts? I only do easy things. I don't have time (or brain cells) for difficult. My kids have sucked away my time and brain cells and you know what? I'm totally ok with that. They are worth it. So here is a fun idea for a costume...<br />
<br />
<br />

</div>I made Mr. Man's very first big boy tie. He has other ties but they all either velcro or clip at the back of the neck. This one has to be TIED...it's a real tie. I know you want the tutorial so go on over to <a href="http://www.purlbee.com/little-boys-tie/">The Purl Bee</a> and see how to make this beauty! It was really easy! It's basically all ironing and a bit of hand stitching (2 things I despise, but it was so minimal I didn't mind at all). <br />

He tried so hard to tie it on himself but couldn't get it over his big ol' noggin after it was tied. So he decided to try and tie it on Mr. Man. It was hilarious and it took 3 or 4 tries and he had to use a mirror that we have in the garage waiting to be refurbished!</div><br />

This girl! How cute is this idea? Of course I had to make it for my niece since she will be having an owl 1st birthday party in a few months. Her room is pink and brown so I decided that would be a perfect color scheme for her owl. The buttons are a choking hazard of course so it will be decorative rather than a play toy. It was so fun to make! Owls are so in right now. I had no idea, but they are all over the internet to buy or make...on jewelry, home decoration, toys, clothing. I kinda love it.<br />

What does football season and crafts have to do with each other you ask? Nothing! But there is this tutorial <a href="http://www.makeandtakes.com/toss-around-this-toddler-approved-toy-football">here at Make and Take</a>s. Mr. Man needed a momma made craft right now because I was feeling guilty!!! I like to be fair...like REALLY fair...like so fair people tell me that I have no grey...just black and white...but I haven't been fair with my crafts. So it was HIS TURN darn it! <br />

</div>I know it's football season, but I know nothing about football. It's a choice. I choose to tune out any and all sports related talk. This choice is serving me well. But I will indeed choose a craft that relates to my son's love of sports. That I will do. Happy sports related crafting to you all!<br />
