Head Wraps

Here are the head wraps on my 'mannequin'...
My own fun creation...part scarf, part hat. Could be used for either...just fun and good for keeping the cold air out!

Tie Dye Designs

Here's a few of the designs I made for myself and others over Christmas break. They include bandanas, head wraps, shirts and onesies. So fun! I was even able to salvage a remnant from our wedding/honeymoon in Mexico...see if you can figure out which one it is. :D

Cutest Xmas Pic!

Okay...here's my fave Christmas pic taken this year...this is my brand new niece, Ava. And yes, Aunt Rachel did make her that awesome onesie! :) She wouldn't let go of my fingers....

And here's another sweet one...She's a cutie, isn't she?

New Fave Show

Torchwood. If you are a sci-fi junkie (like me), love Star Trek: TNG (oh, sorry...The Next Generation), X-Files, Eureka, etc...you just might fall for Captain Jack Harkness and the rest of the Torchwood gang. A spin-off from the super hokey 'Dr. Who' series (I haven't seen the new Dr. Who...only remember the old ones), Torchwood is just hokey enough and only at times. It's from BBC America, so be forewarned about some thick accents (except for Capt. Jack who is American, apparently). Aliens, time rifts, sex, humor and a cool, underground compound. What more could you ask for? We found it on Netflix. Just finished Season 1 (from 2006) and are working on Season 2 now. Check it out...let me know what you think! :)

Here are my latest tie-dye creations. Finally did a peace sign and we think it came out great! Of course, I don't have to make it as big as the shirt (doh!). I also did some onesies for the multiple pregos out there. :) Gotta keep the chilled out, laid back, hippie-thing going through future generations, right? People these days are too tense and I think many have forgotten how to relax and enjoy the ride.

The back of the peace sign shirt is a mix of the purple & blue...should have taken a pic of that side too. Anyway, it's now one of Lon's favorites. Yea!
Another benefit of the tie-dye onesies, besides having the best dressed baby on the block, spit up, food and other typical baby-mishaps won't show up as well! Always thinking...til next time. (I do apologize for the blurry onesie pic. I've never claimed to be a photographer!)

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm back...let's see what's been going on. Well, gave the 'crafty' gifts and they were well received. Yea! Pics to follow. Took my first exam...made an A! Woo Hoo...great start to my 2nd semester. It's been very chilly (it IS winter!) so we haven't been out playing in the city as much as we would like, but I heard a rumor that spring is on the way...
Found a new addiction in FB's Cafe World. Farm Town ran its course with me...we'll see how long this one lasts. Also, we've started playing Little Big Planet. One of the most unique games I've ever seen...quite surreal at times. Enjoying it, but missing my R&C tons! Maybe Crack in Time will arrive in time for our birthdays...
We haven't labeled Liberty yet so the pics are of naked bottles (don't worry, they aren't modest). I tie-dyed a couple of tiny little shirts for Addison's 3rd birthday and then did two shirts and a scarf for me. My first attempt (since like Girl Scouts or something)...really enjoyed it and plan to do more. Found instructions online how to tie-dye a peace sign...that WILL be my next project. Too cool.
Used ceramic stucco mixed with paint to create a silly/fun birthday gift for Jan. She used it to make a painting for us for Christmas. Neat stuff...will definitely continue to use it. Need to do another in my Magic Mushroom series. That could work very well. Here are the pics...enjoy! And until next time, if you want someone to know something you have to TELL them. :)
