Still a productive night!

My Photo Memory Board!

Black Satin, red star ribbon, red plastic buttons, lots of hot glue and a burned finger...

What a night!

What a productive afternoon!

So I bought an old hard make up case from a garage sale a while back. I never really used it for anything and it really wasn't in that great of shape - so I spruced it up with a coat of black spray paint...

And a hip new lining!

White browsing the Internet one day, I found an article on how to make a vinyl record bowl...So the hubby was sorting through our record collection and found one that was never going to play because of all the scratches...I got to try something new today and it worked out great!

Oo Baby Baby...Oo Baby Baby

Name that tune...GO!

Ok, I don't know if you know this about Shannons - but they aren't really "into" babies...so the fact that three babies are going to burst into my auntie life is kind of extreme...

So I have my first baby shower ever tomorrow - what do you do at a baby shower? I hope it's not crumpets and talk of placentas...but I digress.

Here is my feeble attempt at making something appropriate for Isabell (Isabel, Isabelle...who knows), my second niece to be born to the hubby's brother and his wife...

Yes, I understand that a pillow is a sorry excuse for a baby model...but it's past midnight, and I don't think any of you out there are really going to lend me your child for two little pictures...exactly.

So if any of you have babies due in your life and would like to bestow them with this festive hooded bath towel, send me a line! There is also a ducky possibility and a couple of secret posibilities for the other sister-in-law...muahhahahaha!!!

PS - if you are lucky enough to know me in person, please note that I still have three years until I have to think about children...but note even further that I want skulls, booze, and black at my baby shower...

Etsy Treasury

http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=72360

So Etsy has this thing where you can make a collection of items - you can just pick items, you can pick related items, things that are all the same color, etc...well a nice person on etsy decided to make a Coca-cola treasury and added my Coca-cola bottle cap hair clips!
Thank you SchneiderGallery, Thank you!

The Tote Bag

This is the new tote bag I made for my awesome friend Jennifer. She actually designed her own large purse, and it was SO cool that I put it on Etsy and a nice woman traded me cool buttons for one (see post)

I learned to fix the pockets on the outside...but it has bright orange lining and is super cool!

So If you would like one of these super awesome large totes, they are $30 and are great for luggin' around your goods, farmer's market finds, the beach, sneaking candy into movies, and as Tiffany figured out - it's good for Kitties too :)

Another happy customer!

YAY!!!

Rock on!

Aprons!

So until I can get pictures from people I have made aprons for - here are some of the cool ones I have made!

This is one of the first ones I made form a pattern I found online. The pieces were kind of wonky...and I ended up finding the real pattern at the fabric store...but cool nonetheless!

This is the same pattern that I made for Vanessa, I just added some pockets...this is one I used from the pattern online - see how the pieces don't all match!?

This is fun fabric I found in the clearance section at the fabric store and I have no idea why! It's so cute!!! I made this from that same online pattern, but I only made a half apron from it...I ended up giving it to my sister in law - she likes aprons - but I'm jealous that I don't have it any more...

I also made this for my sister in law - jealous again that I didn't keep it :)

This is ANOTHER apron from that online pattern, but I actually used the real pattern instead...I found this beater fabric and it is just too awesome! I piped each petal - which was a pain in my arse, but it looks great! No one bought it on etsy, so I might just keep this one...

Coming soon are pictures of the Dia de las Muertas apron I made plus a few other retro awesome ones!
