Craft show galore!

Its that busy time again....and today I had that wonderful opportunity of vending at Fallfest in winter haven. Had lots of fun, sold some crafty treasures, and met some new people. Excited for next week... Headed to the Mcintosh Festival.

Hope to see you then!

Personalized bag!

I am loving this personalized bag!  And if you head over to the crafty cpa you can find out how to make one yourself!   So cute :)

happy birthday :)

This past week was my mother-in-law's birthday!   We celebrated at our house by cooking a big Irish meal....we had the works!    i was inspired by Cornflower Blue and made some green decorations.   :)

You probably can't see mine that well so here is a pic of cornflower blues... check her blog out on how to make the crochet party chain!

Mule Day was a success!  It was lots of fun and nice and cold!  It was the coldest it has been so far...it was down to 32degrees while we were out there!  Us Floridians have thin blood :) Here are some pics of the weekend :)

Mule Day :)

Saturday is Mule Day!   My sister and I are going to be selling are craftiness this weekend.   I am super excited!  Last year we went too and it was lots of fun.   And I am happy that the high is going to be in the 60's!   I looked through my closet today and realized that I really don't have any clothes for cold weather.   I will be wearing lots of layers :)  Here is a little video from last years Mule Day.

Crafty Goodness

So I have been thinking about trying to dye my own yarn...   Have you tried to do this?  I really don't even know where to begin but I have seen some beautiful yarn that was hand dyed.  Maybe I need something like this?  Any tips or suggestions?

Last night I spent my night making these little embellished bobby pins :)  I like them!

week+end= fun

Relaxing weekend?...not quite!  2 different craft shows in 3 days!...well technically one.   One was a vender show and we were the only true crafters there!  It was an...interesting night!  The other one was fun but hot!... Today while I was bored out of my mind I came across this great blog that everyday posts links to blogs that have giveaways.   You need to check it out here :)  I entered a ton of giveaways....I'll let you know if I win any!

here is a pic of our booth at one of our shows :)  we set it up a bit differently than we normally do!  

Fun weekend :)

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary this weekend by going to Orlando.   We both have been reading the Harry Potter books the last couple of months so we decided to get passes for Universal.  We had lots of fun!   Here are some pictures :)

2 years :D

On Monday it will be two year's since we got married!   Sometimes it feels like it's been forever...somtimes it feels like yesterday.   I've loved every minute of it :)

weekend!

So Wayne and I went to the Pics on Promenade last night...the weather was perfect!   At Lake Mirror they have a big screen that they set up and they show a movie for free.  There are people who sell food and drinks.   Last night was the movie Hook...which I hadn't seen for a looong time!  Next month they are showing White Christmas...I really want to go and see that one!  Here are a couple pics from last night :)  Hope you have a good weekend!

oh and here is a book that I found when we were thrifting this week...my plan is to make it into a bag like this

Thrifting...

So I went thrifting with my sister this week and I found a steal!   This clutch, which was supposed to be $1.50, was only $.50!   It has a place where it looks like it once had a strap but I am just using it as a clutch.... why don't I go to thrift stores more often???

Mattie & Me

Try, try, try

I'm going to be trying some different things this week and I am excited :)

I have this in the freezer as we speak. It should be amazing.

Later this week some friends are coming over to up cycle some shirts...  I'm thinking of this, this, this, or whooa- this.  wow...too many decisions.   Maybe I will do them all!

My week/weekend in a nutshell...

I drove to Ocala to see my family (my parents, sisters, bro-in-law, and niece) for a few days.  Wayne couldn't go with me :/  As you can tell from the pictures...Bella, my niece, is a BIG hit in our family since all of the pictures have her in them!

I bought her a ball and she seemed to like it.

I made this hair flower that is actually a clip that can be clipped onto a headband... Thanks to my mom for the idea:)

Bella and I at the mall...we are teaching her at a young age:)

P.s. That's my dad in the background of the last pic...he took the first two pictures! 

Oh, and here is a pic of my two guys! 

 Aren't, they cute? :P

magical...

My dad took this picture at Disney World last weekend when I was there with my family.   He has been doing ah-mazing photography...  doesn't this picture make you think WDW really is magical?   I'm telling you... after spending ALL day there, it doesn't seem as magical :)  Still fun though!

Yo-yo Purse...

So, lately I have been working on a few personal projects... well I always am!  But I actually got one done before I started working on something new :)... yes, I am bad about working on hundreds of things at once.

Here are some pics of my yo-yo purse...I made it up as I went along.  I love it becasue it has a long strap so that I can wear on my shoulder across my hip.  Next time I will take pics as I go so I can show you how to do it!  (pics from my phone)

love

Yes. Thank you.
