Fabric Rag Garland

Well I wanted to create a advent calendar for my mantel this year but when I came across this awesome thread of Flicker.com I knew I just had to do one! A fabric rag garland. I did mine on a string of 50 white lights and all the material I used I had from last year, so this project only cost me $4.00 for the lights and gold ribbon. I love the way it turned out. Here are some really great fabric garlands I found on flicker. Enjoy

Happy Thaksgiving!

I am thankful for the wonderful man in my life, for my will and determination, MY JOB, and most of all I am thankfully for my mommy :) I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Cancelled!

So it around 4 am right now, and my guy got the email that they were canceling the Pasadena Marathon due to unsafe air quality from the recent fires. I feel terrible for him, he has been training since the last half marathon he did in August and has been looking forward to this. On to the next, he says!

A Must

For the longest time I have wanted an advent calendar. I would really love to make one or buy one, and I was trying to get some ideas and came across these cute ones. I am leaning more towards felt stars along my mantel. I have an idea in my head and need to draw it out.

One Of Those Days

Ever have one of those days when something bad or good happens and it leaves you in shock and kinda confused, and all you can to is replay the whole thing out in your head over and over again and try to think of a moment that maybe you could have said something different or not at all. Well yesterday was one of those days. I know that things happen for a reason and we all probably could not have avoided this situation, you see the tension has been building up and yesterday was the breaking point for I think all of us. I have HAD it!! I am TIRED, I want to MOVE ON! I want to LET IT GO! I know it might hurt some people when I say, sometimes I wish I could DIVORCE my family!!! I am putting yesterday behind me and wishing that maybe one day we can all forgive each other.

Wow!

Wow, have I been busy! I haven't posted in a while because I haven't had much time to really do anything, so here are some pics of the past couple weeks. Craft fair went well, made a few bucks and met alot of great people. I had a lot of fun and will defiantly do it again next year. I didn't get a pic of me in the actual costume (crazy busy day with kids) but here is the cape finished. I am super proud of myself for sewing this, I had a pattern but patterns use to scare me, not anymore! I really helped having a dress form (Did I mention I got one for my b-day!!!!) and last I wanted to glitter some pumpkins for Halloween but again didn't have time, so I decided I would do them for my harvest decorating. They came out really good I think.
