Another One Bites the Dust!

Made another bow holder :] Dudes I am going to be a professional if I keep this bow holder business up! I am working on a jewelry holder too :]
I went Rhinestone happy!! This is the first project I have actually used loose rhinestones instead of the rhinestones with the adhesive already on the back ha. I think it turned out dang stinkin' cute!! I also made my own flowers with paper and silk. They turned out good too!
Oh my gosh I almost forgot my necklace came today too!! Today is shaping up to be the best day eva....well aside from like my marriage and the birth of my child....but a new necklace!! Yay!! I will take pictures of it tomorrow when I actually can spend some time on my crazy hair.

I used this spray wax product that is suppose to make your hair look like you just took a leisurely swim in the ocean...all beachy and piecy and you know what? I think it makes my hair look like I haven't washed it in 3 months! What is up with you, hair and hair product.I wish that my hair would just do what I envision in my head. That would make life so much easier!

Yesterday we had a local man come over and rototill our garden plot. I am hoping to get to that this coming weekend and finally plant something. Everything I have been told by "professional" gardeners I think that I can only plant lame things like peas, carrots and onions. I have a TON of sproutlets waiting to go in the ground! But, alas, I don't want them to die in our awesome Idalaska climate.

Have any of you watched The Voice? I think I may be addicted...I like it better than American Idol. I know that seemed like a completely random outburst, but it what I am watching while I post :]

Well bed time for this mama!!

Bow Holders

So I made my friend a bow holder for her daughter this weekend....it turned out AWESOME! I loved the color combinations and how she organized her bows. I also did one for Miss May and I love it as well! I am totally in love with these simple but adorable bow holders.

This is the one for my friends daughter.
This is the one I made for my daughter! They turned out so good ahhhh I am just so giddy about it....which is a little stupid but I don't care! I think I am going to go and make something else to be happy about :D

Wish Summer Would Stay

Woot we had a nice day today!! And we played out in the garden...well the plot that I have designated to be a garden someday. Unfortunately, our ground is SUPER dense, like clay.

Kady loves playing with the neighbors dogs ha.

I did something craft today too!! I cut and placed some vinyl in my bedroom! Finally, remember I told you I would be getting you some pictures?! Well drumroll here they are. I cut out a saying a REALLY liked although I think my husband thinks I am a little bit of a cheeseball....but meh that's okay!



My pictures are a little dark, but you know what I took them off my cell phone and my bedroom is dark at night!
It says: Sweet Dreams, Sleep Tight, I Love You, Goodnight!! Absolutely loooovvveee it!




I placed it right above our bed and it turned out spectacular! Wish that I had that $50.00 DSLR camera ;) (wink, wink) My little cell phone camera just doesn't do it justice! Hopefully I can take some better pictures someday! Anyway, I am going to finish watching Ever After: A Cinderella Story and go to bed!!

Oh Rain....Bother

Stupid weather. I know I shouldn't be complaining at least I am not having to contend with tornadoes or hurricanes, but man I wish it would stop raining for a few days so I could get my garden planted.

I started doing my sproutlets a few weeks ago and they are reaching their transplant size. It makes me nervous that they are not going to make it into the ground before becoming root bound and dying! Grr...that's my rant of the day :D

On a happier note I FINALLY moved the bedroom around! I know it has only taken me 4 years to do so but I love the layout so much more now. I even cut some vinyl so I can start decorating it!
I picked a cheesy love quote:

Sweet Dreams, Sleep Tight
I love you.
Goodnight.

I don't think the husband was too thrilled about it but I am in love with it! Now I just have to work on the rest of the house.

It's funny to me to think that it has taken me 4 years to finally get motivated to decorate the house. It is finally starting to feel like a home and like a solid plan for the future I guess.

I still have some tutorials I am working on but man oh man it seems like I never get anytime to do them! I have a list longer than the phone book of things I want to try out, recipes I want to eat and craft projects to attempt. Hopefully I will get on it this memorial weekend...since its suppose to rain.....hrm big surprise!

*sigh* I want a new camera...

So I am starting to work on some tutorials. I made a shirt and a super duper cute head band with a knit rosette. But alas, my camera stinks!! It makes me want to talk someone into selling me their DSLR camera for like fifty bucks *wink, wink* Someone?! I have wanted a nice camera for awhile now, but with Kady and crafting I have decided that it is a must have thing now. It is pretty sad when my cell phone camera takes better pictures then my digital camera. So even though I couldn't get worth while pictures of my nifty headband and shirt I am hoping I can take some better ones the next time around. Here is a picture of Miss May modeling my headband... Pretty cute. I am going to try and get a much better picture tomorrow in better light.

Until tomorrow :D

Can't Wait To Start

Although I have had a few blogs in the past; I am hoping that I stick with this one even if I just use it as a place to compile ideas and thoughts.

A little about me:
1. I am the Stay-at-home-Mother to a beautiful baby girl that is almost 18 months old. She keeps me on my feet and I will call her Miss May from here on out.2. I am totally addicted to Mt. Dew, shopping and this year gardening.

3. I have started to be more crafty and I have been more daring when it comes to sewing projects.

4. I am pretty awesome at cooking. I would NOT call myself a chef! I think the term chefs refers to something far more sophisticated than what I do in the kitchen.

5. I am the proud owner of a HUGE boxer that is the sweetest with Miss May. Ali is the perfect dog.

I hope that you will stay tuned to what I hope will evolve into a beautiful blog :]]

OH YEAH BTW I entered a giveaway through Welcome to the gOOd life and I actually won!!!!! I Am so stoked! I got to pick out a jewelry piece of my choice by Urban Natures!! I chose the Festival of Nature! Gorgeous! Cannot wait for it to get here! Until tomorrow kids.
