This is amazing

I found this at: http://blog.craftzine.com/3.html, the website I look at almost every day. This girl made this dress for her prom totally from all different kinds of lace. It is soo awesome. Maybe someday I will try to make it. Definitely hold off until after the baby belly.

Pretty Felt Flowers

I just saw these on the the land of nod website. They are of course selling them for way to much money. They look pretty easy to make. Maybe I will try and let you know.

I have my hands full over here...

I will post something soon.

Christmas gifts

Okay, now that all the gifts have been distributed, I can show a couple of things I made. I wish I could have made more, but I really shouldn't have moved house Thanksgiving weekend.

These are some robot shirts I made for my nephews. I didn't make the shirts I just attached some robots to the fronts.
Micah was so jealous, so now I have to make him one too.

And this GIANT scarf pillow was for Christopher and Asia. I grabbed this scarf at a thrift store when I was in the U.S. I knew it would make an awesome pillow. (Sidenote: I have a scarf thing. I always look for scarves/ hankies to make into pillows.) I really wanted to use it in our house, but the colors aren't right. I did the back with some old sari material. It came out really well. I just hope they like it.

Took a vacation

It was so great. We went to the beach we always go to, Cha Am, its in the gulf of Thailand. Not the most exciting beach, but it is very family friendly. We went with our usual band of people. We always go on vacation with the same people, to the same place, every year. Its actually pretty fun.

I got to spend a lot of time with my good friend Holly. Who is expecting #3. She looks awesome.
Eliza had a really good time. This was her first year of really getting into the whole beach/pool thing.

Here's to vacations in January!

Christmas for Eliza

Eliza's Christmas gift. A little bamboo play house, or hut, if you will. It so much bigger than we asked the guy to make, but then again, who needs custom plans.


She got a little mirror which she loves to use to put on jewelry, and make funny faces.

Eliza wore this dress all day, including out to Christmas lunch, but not the shoes, those are for indoors only.

Christmas is officially over

Ah its December 30th and we had our last christmas party. It has been CRAZY busy, but it such a great time to share, you have to take the opportunities when they come. I need to put up some Christmas pictures, but for now here are some of our sugar cookies that we had fun making.


Eliza's snowman, I think it came out quite well.
I have to say I am most impressed with the red and green swirly stars with silver beads.


And tommorrow its off to New Year's Eve celebrations. Yay! next week is vacation at the beach.
