take a gander at this!!

SO I hope on every morning after breakfast flip down my list of blogs I love to fallow and this morning I saw something I really wanted to pass along. Over at Obsessively stitching She posted about her cousins new web site they are putting together. Its where us crafty people swap our crafty goodness for other crafters gold. Its genius! No money involved please take a look here To read about it on OS's blog (Ps if you don't fallow her, check her wonderfullness out while you are there) then you can hop on over to whoopdwhoop (Cleaver name too!) and start whooping around!

And just because I have been not posting for awhile because im working on a stock pile to open my Etsy store here is what I got to see yesterday, we got sun in the afternoon so I dragged all five kids to the park. This is Carsons first time on a swing and he LOVESSSSSSS it!

Sewed it on sunday!

Unfortunately I have nothing to show you today... unless you would like to see my sink of dirty dishes, the mounds of laundry that sit in front of my washer or my 4 sick kids and 1 sick husband. My husband had Friday off and since our little guys had been sick off and on all week and my patient was suffering I took the morning off to hit the fabric store and enjoy the sale all alone ... I got a text 2 hours into that my husband wasn't feeling very well. I got home an hour later... mind you that I had a whole whopping 3 hours to myself... and I walk into a house full of fluness... that's right all 5 of those jerk bags got the flu at the same time (Thank God in heaven above it isn't the stomach flu because I think I would have to check into the loony bin given my current lack of sleep and permanent IV drip of coffee, which yes I gave up for the news years but if it wernt for the coffee we might be out a few kids)We have 3 cases of a bacterial eye infection to top it off and baby has decided nursing takes to much of his crawling time up so im full of milk and have a cranky baby and have not slept.... but on a positive note last night I started my business plan to move forwards with an Etsy store so stay tuned for that one! Hope this post find you healthy!

hoooo I am

Here is another hooo are you from Night Owl Crafting (Its a fun little thing to play along with if you dont already)

1. Do you use an alarm clock or some device to wake you up, or do you wake up on your own? I use my cell phone alarm, it goes off at 6 but I snooze it untill 625 then i drag out of bed (that is to say unless my 2 year old hasnt already woken me up for cartoons at 5)

2. If you could go on any game show, which won would you choose? Hummm I would secreatly love to go on that wipeout show cause it cracks me up but I think the price is right would be a kick in the pants too... or maybe wheel of fourtune im pretty good at that one

3. Do you prefer the weather to be hot or cold? If its not snowing and sticking then I want it hot hot hot

4.What color of clothing do you wear the most?Gray... im not sure why since I really do like color

5. What is your favorite color?Its a toss up I love red but I have a giant place for purple in my heart


So come play along over at

Sewed on a Sunday #2

So here is what I sewed today on Sunday, its a jumper/dress/shirt (She wearing things in a many different kinda ways) for my miss Brooklyn for February. Unfortunately when she tried it on it wasn't loose enough for her to wear a long sleeved shirt on underneath so I had to add some panels under the arms (a lesson well learned, measure and add extra length for the unexpected) This is the first time I have ever made a inner lining and I like it so so so much better then the other dresses I made her. Since we are out of school Monday we are going to make a trip to the craft store and see if we can find some big chunky red heart buttons to go on it!



(Look to the upper right side of the picture and you can see the toy story party stuff comming along very well!)

OH im learning how the whole link up thing works I liked up here at craft-o-maniac and Keeping it Simple so be sure to cheack over there for some great inspiration
(PS can any give me a quick lesson on how to add buttons)

What im working on wednesday!

HaHaHaHa look at me trying to be clever with the name things! Ha! I just hope it keeps me more focused and makes me more accountable for the millions of half completed projects I have sitting around. So here is what im working on:

Im currently trying to find this fabric, to complete a late Christmas gift, its an elephant pillow pet I started before Christmas but I miss measured an ear now my favorite store discontinued the line so the search continues!


Im also working on my sons 3rd birthday party goodness... now I know it might sound crazy to some since his birthday isn't until March... the 26th to be exact, but I like to have everything done just in case, so I have note books full of party ideas. Here is our invite:



Its note perfect yet but like I said a million half done projects sitting around! Then I made a birthday sign for him, using slinky dog stretched out... thinking I was cleaver I thought I would post all about my coolness.. then I saw one on Etsy.. turns out im not as cool as I thought! But at least its one less thing I have to have sitting around half done!

hoooo I am

Ok do Im s little late in the game but I just found this great get-to-know-ya over at Night Owl Crafting Its great, she asks some questions each week, then gives her answers then you post them on your blog and answer and then link back to her! (Ok that was mouth full so here read it here)

This Weeks questions are all about food (yum yum yum one of my favorite topics)

1. Are you fond of cooking?I love to cook, but my family is very picky

2. What kind of food do you prefer eating when you are out? Im a huge meat eater so I really like steak houses, but then again I love love love pasta and im a huge fan of mexican food, so I guess i prefer anywhere I dont have to do the dishes!

3. Which do you prefer, sweet or salty? Im a sweet girl.

4. Where is the last place you ate out at? Humm I think it was Red Robins (And I know you just went YUM lol me too)

5. What's for dinner tonight? We are hypotheticly suppose to have a rain/ice storm so I thought lasgna would be fitting

Ok Now that you know more about me, I want to read all about you to so go fallow Night Owl Crafting and play along (PS and get inpired, there is tons of talent on that page!)

Sewed on a Sunday

I love when people have cute little names for things they do on each day of the week (Example: tutorial Tuesday) So here is mine. I was hoping it will give me a deadline so I actually accomplish more projects. This is what I sewed today, on Sunday (to be honest I started yesterday but i finished today lol I'm not off to a bad start) I made some snugly PJ's for the kiddo, because when you have 4 kids you are bound to see this from time to time.

yes he is sound asleep snoring, standing up ha ha haha I love two year olds!

So I made some PJ's for them. Mind you this was my first time making PJ's and its so so easy, each pair took maybe 15 minutes start to finish for the pants, the shirts took a little longer because I'm still confused about adding sleeves. My machine is just to fat to slide them in so I'm at a loss! But I'm really happy how they turned out and the kids love them, and that's what counts!
