I've been having fun...

how about you? I've been busy with all sorts of things and stuffed up from a cold I think I got in a convo with Maree LOL. She has made me a new holiday themed etsy banner that is just the cutest! I want to keep it up all year round. Go check it out in my etsy shop!

I've also made some new houses that are glittery and pastely. I need to cut some more houses so I can make some ornaments before it is to late. But I'm behind and haven't even gotten my Christmas tree up yet.

I've been in the chat on etsy and found some really cute shops and friends in there. Yesterday we played a game and did a little giveway and I won these cute donut stud earrings from glamasaurus! I'm going to add them to the package I am sending my stepdaughter for Christmas. She's going to love them! glamasaurus is also holding a Big Fat Blog Giveaway so you should definitely run on over there and enter! If you win then you get one of her beautiful custom collage necklaces! Wonder if she makes mushroom collage necklaces?

Im off to catch some snooze! I want to make some soup later. It's been so cold out and some warm yummy soup might be what I need to kick this cold in the butt. tata :)

Eye Candy (FAT FREE yup yup)

I have finally finished what was suppose to be a day project! Turned it into a week long one! Im in love with the way they came out and I definitely will be making more since I know how I want them now. Oh and if you didn't figure it out... they are mini elf stockings (or what Rita called them elf socks *hehe*) I used fabric for the base part, chenille fabric for the top. And at the last minute I crocheted a little hanger part instead of ribbon because I forgot my ribbons at home (jackpot LOL), and the pompoms I made using yarn. It's the first time I ever attempted making pompoms and I so want to make more!

Now that I am finished with the "elf socks" I want to make me a scarf (or atleast try)! It's going to be in this super super bright turquoise, hot pink, red, and purple. Totally not the colors I would normally wear. But I saw this really beautiful one at the mall last week and I wanted it so bad but it was $50 bucks UGH! The yarn I got is the same colors as the one I wanted I just hope it comes out pretty like the one I saw. So I'm off to have my hour affair with "TOP CHEF" that came on last night and see if this scarf thing is going to work!! Man I love this show! Any one else watching the new season?

S(till)WIP

I've been working on this project since Saturday and still have a few more nidbits to add. So far I have:

Slaved at the sewing machine!


Steam ironed them flat!



Hand sewn some chenille and loved every minute of it!


Took a pretty S(still)WIP photo!


Maybe tomorrow I will have a complete photo of my 4 day project. I'm seriously smitten already with these and can't wait to show them all finished!

Snowman & Mushrooms?

They just don't go together! Or do they? With my little obsession with mushrooms and new love for snowman this year. I think they look cute together! I still have some other ideas to make some little friends for this little guy that I hope will get done today. But with all the other 50 million projects swarming around in my head I just don't know. I need about 10 more hands and a 100 more hours in my day. I even managed to get up extra early this morning to hopefully get a lot of things done before having to take a nap and go to work tonight. But with housework also needing to get done I'm not sure if I can get it all done.
