For the Girly, Girl in me

This post is mostly pictures, but I love to be girly too. I hate spending money on hair accessories, especially one's I know I can make myself. I have made so many wear so little and I am thinking of opening an Etsy shop to make some extra money and get my name out there. I am also thinking about going back to school, just still not sure what for yet, college is so expensive and I have such verity of things I am interested in and I like to think im a great at all of them. decisions decisions...

Last nights date night went well, we decided to go to the movies Sunday morning instead because the movie time started at 9:30 and wouldn't have ending until really late so we are going to go tomorrow morning. Which is perfectly fine by me (Sunday morning is 5 dollar movies and I am cheap, HAHA)

Hope you all enjoy the pictures of some of the things I made. You can see more HERE!

















Hope you all are having a great weekend!!

Let's give this a try!

So the other day I had over heard my mom talking to a co-worker (we work together) and she mentioned she loved quilts. This was news to me, she doesn't own any, nor has she told her creative/sewing daughter this information before. So I asked her since when and why has she never told me this! It would be a perfect present for her at some point! Her excuses was that she never said or bought one because my step-dad is a dirty mechanic and would ruin a beautiful quilt by touching it (I'm thinking so tell him hes not aloud to touch it...but that is just me) So here is my first stab at a quilting block, hopefully with many more to come!






This is the link that I got the pattern from Mccalls Quilting. There is a bunch of free block styles some even have printable templates.




Hope all my SIX (whohoo moving up in the world, LOL) have a GREAT day!!!

And remember today is Thrifty Thursdays. So you should expect to see some great finds later tonight(possibly tomorrow though)

ALSO HERE IS ANOTHER BLOG HOP FOR UNDER THREE HUNDRED FRIENDS!

I Read TOO!!!

So the other day I finished Marley & Me. Yes I cried like a big old baby! But I loved this book and keeping the movie as a separate entity of its own I would suggest anyone who liked the movie to read this book, BUT be warned the movie IS NOTHING LIKE this book. They say that all the time about movies and books but truly there is only about three things that happen in the movie the way it happened in the book. I am good at keeping both the movie and book separate and love them both! If you cannot keep them separate pick one out of the two and I would highly recommend reading the book over watching the movie.

Finally a Refashion of my OWN!

So for some times now I have been inspired by This Awesome Girl! I have tried a few times and failed, not really knowing what I was doing, I love to craft I love to sew but I am better at just winging it on small silly things when it comes to my sewing machine. If I have a pattern with instructions no problem I can whip something out quickly and I thought I could do the same for refashioning things. This was not the case. But I was successful with this skirt turned dress. (my mom went through her closets, baskets, and dressers and gave me a ton of things!


Before 


!After!





I also have finally uploaded pictures on my other "Started not yet Finished" projects!

~Glass Ware For Nicole'd Wedding~


~Finished - Cat toy for Wacko~



~ Started - A quilt for Regina~



Of course Wacko thinks my cutting mat is a place for him to lay down and play with me. HAHA
I love my Kitty! 


a failed attempt at taking in pants but while I was trying Wacko wanted to nuzzle the pants! 
Ugh love/hate right here!


THRIFTED
All below on the rug I thrifted for $10.00!!!
(I didn't thrift the rug I actually got it for free)
Elastic lace, straps, a charging station with power cord, a book, and a stamp with ink pad!



So finally a full post that has a refashion I am so happy with all of this. Soon to be shown on this blog, A vintage sewing table in the process of being refinished and also a hutch for my craft room to be sanded and stained that I got for a mere 30 dollars and its solid wood! YAY!!! I could not even buy and build it out of wood for that price!

Some Crafts and some other stuff

So I am going to try and neglect this blog less. (I have one follower so it is not like it matters much anyways.)

But here is some of what I have been up to since my brothers wedding

I decided that I would take all of Bobby's cousin Ragina's baby cloths (what they have left of her cloths that is) to make her a quilt. In the process of doing that I am recycling all of the zippers from the outfit (did you know zippers can be pretty pricey) YAY FOR RECYCLING!!!


My Main Squeez!!! This is my baby boy Wacko! He is my cat but the house hold I live in we have another cat Marvin and a pitbut mix Wilbur. But this is my pride and joy right here. Isn't he the cutest!!!


Bobby, our two friends and I went to a Phillie's GAME. GO PHILS!!!


I WENT BLOND! OMG! Actually this is alot more blond then I wanted and will be toning it down a bit in a week or so. (What do you guys think??!?! I would seriously love to know!)


I am still making hair clips cannot get enough of them!


This one was for the 4th of July! (that i forgot to wear *hand smacks head*)


I plan on getting better at keeping up I also have a few projects im working on that I didnt take pictures of and will add more to this soon ( In another post)

But i am making glass wear for a candy bar for a family member and also making her quest book as well!

Hopefully I get some more followers or atleast more page views other then just my own!

I give you all my best regards!
