Little Peeks

Created a birthday outfit for a special little girl customer...will be listing it soon as a custom ! It is SO cute. (Can I say that about my own stuff. Oh yea, it's my blog. Of course I can!)


Can't wait to do some fun stuff this weekend. I'm going to get out my linen and other capri-ish fabrics and see if I can whip out a few things this weekend. I'm probably being optimistic, aren't I? Well, we'll see if I can whip out ONE thing.

I'll post pics of the adventure ASAP! Have a great weekend!!

And the party continues...

Why, thanks to all my blogworld friends for the blog birthday shoutouts! And a Hullo to the Lurker-Lu's who are too bashful to post, too.

Crazy, goofy teenagers. Can I just say? Do they EVER think before they open their mouths? Today one asked me if I'd hurry up and get remarried so he could attend my wedding. Oh, ok, I'll get right on that one!?

On a much more serious note, my thoughts & prayers go out to the families of the 6 men from the 82nd Airborne who were killed this week by a roadside bomb. My brother was also a paratrooper in the 82nd until last year, and you know, it all comes down to "there but for the grace of God"...


God bless all of those who are fighting the fight they did not start, perhaps did not want, and wish would end.

Happy Birthday to My Blog

It's really kind of odd that to me that I've been blogging for a year?! How time flies when you're having fun, I guess!

Spring break is coming. Hopefully at that point I'll have something interesting to post...because right now I'm seriously without charm & humor. My apologies.

But happy birthday to me wee little blog, anyway.

In the spirit of the occasiona, here's a printable pink party hat. Then, because a plain pink hat will never do, bling it up with feathers & fluff. Wear in glee & celebration.

Spring peeks

My daffodils are popping through the ground, and teeny buds of green are starting to sprout. Does that mean spring is coming, at last???

It was cold this morning, but I snapped a shot of Lu (wet head and all) in the skirt I've been working on. I haven't finished the top yet, so we improvised with stuff from her closet. No pattern used, just my innumerable math skills :D


Hoping to finish the top today and then get a set of pictures to edit for a Paparrazi launch with the PIPB girls. Lu's not entirely excited about modeling, but I think she'll survive! I'll post more pics when it's finished!

Cutest thing I've seen today....

(not counting Lu, of course)

Born on February 17, she's the first baby chimp born at the Tulsa Zoo in 16 years. Isn't she a cutie!? Today was her debut for the public. Here's her proud mama: (pics courtesy of the zoo website)


They're taking suggestions for names! I think she looks like a Giselle myself. ;o)

I bought a pasta roller thingie today for polymer clay. I'm officially a hobby junkie. But dang, just look at all the pretty colors it comes in!
And you can smoosh it around with your hands and fingers. I'm thinking this is gonna be a hobby with stress relief benefits...

I'm kinda lost besides the pasta machine thing. Oh, and I bought the bead roller thing and the baking pan thing that suspends the beads so they don't get shiny. Other than that, I'm a complete polymer clay virgin. (I did buy clay too, just in case you were wondering.

So...Any tips? Tricks? Good websites to ponder or books to buy? I really want some of those little cookie cutter looking flower things. They didn't have the teeny tiny ones at my local hobby store, I even checked the cake decorating aisle. Reputable online source for supplies?

Because after all, what's a hobby without techniques you never fully grasp or actually participate in, yet have all the supplies for? Which brings me to...

Scrapbooking anyone?
