Owl Cupcakes

They didn't come out as cute as I was hoping because my vanilla icing was to warm and it ran when I put it on the cupcakes. BOOOOOOO But here are the owl cupcakes we made for Kayla's b-day tonight

For the Love of Owls

To all my owl loving peeps I have found the blog for y'all! Check it out
HERE It is SO cute! I am in love!!!

Apron Kick

I wanted to make an apron. It all started with an owl dishtowel from target. I am sure you have all seen it if you shop there. It is SO cute and I ended up with 6 of them. I bought four and my lovely niece Madison picked out the other two for me. I decided I REALLY did need to make something with at least one of them. That sent me on a search for a cute apron. I am not a girly girl but I saw the old fashioned ones that are a heart on the top and I HAD to make one. Weird right? Any ways. I freaking love how it turned out. If I ever make one again I will make the top a lot smaller because it makes my boobs look even bigger then they already are and really, I don't need that. Maybe 8 years ago but now after the kids, I'm good. haha






I have had the owl fabric for like 3 months now dying to use it. Everything I kept thinking of to use it for was summer stuff and it's got WINTER owls on it for goodness sakes so I just hadn't used it yet. I love it paired with the owl dishtowel I used as the heart and the pocket. Isn't it cute? I have an oven mitt and a pot holder to match, not that anyone will ever see that. The funny thing is now I am on am apron kick. I already have another one in the works that I can't WAIT to make. Maybe one of these days I will actually get around to it. I have too many projects going on right now. I need to focus. One is something for my husband for Valentine's day. I can't wait to get it done so I can post it in case any one wants to copy it because I think it is going to be hysterical. Hopefully it turns out that way and doesn't come out lame. I needed embroidery floss though and I don't have any and haven't gone any where the last two weeks that carry it. Tomorrow I am taking the kids shopping and we are going to get some. WOO HOO

Aside from that I have also done some hair clips recently.



I absolutely LOVE the way the zebra one with the red flower came out! LOVE IT! Hopefully my friend likes them too.




I also did this owl dress for Kayla. I got this owl onesie at a Kid to Kid place in Waco for 50 cents. It still fits Kayla width wise but is too short for her. So I took some more of that lovely pink material I have been using a lot lately ( for any one who is wondering just how much of that pink crap I bought, it was a sheet set so I have A LOT of it ) and made a skirt, gathered it and then sewed it on. I think it came out adorable and can't wait to see it on her. Her birthday is in two more days and I could just cry. That first year just went by WAY too fast!!!

Ugliest Skirt EVER

So I wanted to make a skirt to do house work in. I NEVER thought I would like cleaning house in a skirt until I tried it and it was amazing! It feels so free...I have never looked back, except when it is cold because then I get goosebumps and my already hairy legs get even hairier. Any ways. I found a tutorial that I wanted to do. Basically you just take a sheet ( because then it is already hymned at the bottom ) and you make sew it together, fold it over and put in some elastic. Yup. that's it...so I wanted it to be flowy...you know, since I would be bending down and squatting and what not, so I decided to double my waste size.....Yup, doubled. It sounded like a good idea at the time. I had a flat sheet that is the ugliest sheet you have ever seen. Someone gave it to us when we got married. If it was you, THANK YOU! Don't be offended because I DID repurpose them instead of throwing them in the trash or let's say, burning them.

Any ways...back to the skirt. It is the UGLIEST skirt ever and I FREAKING LOVE IT! It adds at LEAST 30 lbs to me because it is SO HUGE and has SO MUCH volume its comical! So here is me in a normal skirt


Tyler had me holding his golf club for some reason...

And here is me in THE skirt




I swear I am NOT pushing my stomach out. I think it even makes my face look bigger haha Here is the funny thing about this skirt. I told you I do house work in it which often times involves bending over. which means THIS



I mean seriously...who wants to see that or better yet "get with" that? I won't even go outside in this skirt to throw trash away, that's how bad it is but my wonderful husband...he sees me bending down in this skirt and he still gets all hot and bothered. I guess that's when you know it's true love. Well, that or the fact that he is a guy and can get turned on from almost anything....but I am PRETTY sure it is the true love thing!!!

Do you watch Friends? Do you know the episode where Monica is sick and she is trying to convince Chandler she is still sexy? "What, you don't want to get with this?" she says in a nasally voice while awkwardly fondling herself. Cody and I do that all the time. That is how I feel in this skirt. The fact that my husband still wants to have sex with me after seeing me bend over in it is freaking hysterical, even to me....the one bending over in it.

More Tie Shirts

One of the best parts about growing up with a close group of friends is that when you all get married you just multiply your friends! My friend Jared has an awesome wife and she saw the tie shirt I made Tyler on my blog and wrote and told me she had to have one for her son. That was like 3 months ago and I finally bought some shirts and made them two! I think they are so cute.




I used the same flower fabric I have been using for several projects now ( and I still have more! haha ) Then I used left over from a fat quarter I bought to make a flower with for the second one. I LOVE that one. They called me on Monday to let me know they got them in the mail and love them. I am glad. It makes me so happy to make other people happy!!!!!

I have crafted other things this week but the pictures aren't on my lap top yet so hopefully later today I will get them up here.

Cute blog

I wanted to make a cute apron which sent me on a blog search in hopes to find one I liked I could replicate. Check out the cute blog I found Here. i love pin up girls so this was right up my alley! Go check it out

ANYONE???

Does ANYONE I know who reads this know how to fix things on blogs? When I first started this blog I added the picture up top and it was suppose to be BEHIND the title of the blog but it won't do it. It's either a picture OR the title and it is supposed to be both. I can NOT figure it out. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks
