The End

This is the end of my blog writing days. I am stopping for a lot of reasons one of which is I am NOT a good writer so it takes me forever to write the littlest things. I have a really hard time with grammar and spelling also. I have a big imagination but I don't have the skills to make it clear in writing. I also have been spending more time on the computer writing blogs, tweeting, playing on facebook and just plan old promoting. Because I have done that I have started a lot of projects and haven't finished any. I have a lot of product almost done but not to the point of were I can sell it. I love blogs and I really like the idea of my blog (following me from the beginning of my crafting career) but it didn't turn out the way I was hoping. From now on all my news will be on my facebook page

Welcome Bode

Well…I’m an aunty again! My sister had her 3^rd boy he is 8lbs even and his name is Bode (Bow-Dee) Cruz. I always forget how small newborns are he’s tiny and very quiet but very strong. I was up a couple days before she had him and I was hanging out at her house just incase they needed to rush to the hospital then I could take care or their other two boys. Then after she had Bode I went up to the hospital and stayed over so she could sleep and Daddy could put his boys to sleep. Everything went super great and he’s healthy and sweet and my sister looks great! Sorry there is no photos you will just have to take my word for it that he’s cute J

Buzz Lightyear and Woody

 

I've been busy sewing and creating lately. I have been working on a little pook-a-looz Woody and Buzz Lightyear for my little nephew. I found the Disney versions online and I just made my own version using t-shirt fabric. Buzz pretty much stayed the same but I changed Woody and hopefully made him better.

I've also been madly sewing triangles for my mom and dads quilt which was suppose to be done by Dec 2^nd for there wedding anniversary. Since I am not showing any photos you can tell I am very behind on it. I am going to try to get a section done today so show them what I have been working on. We kinda make a big deal about wedding anniversaries in our family which is a good thing because if you want to celebrate anything then why not love. We will have fondo dinner and presents and then my husband is going to leave me at my parents. I am going to stay and help out because my sister is due any minute. Since she has a 5 year old and a 1 year old me and my mom are going to try to help her out as much as we can.

These are the Disney pook-a-looz

Business Cards

I've been working on some business cards which I'm finding to be kind of hard. I tried and I am still trying to make stamps for my business cards and tags for my product. This is proving to be more difficult then I originally thought. Then I went online to Vistaprint (the one below) to try out their program but there are parts of it I don't like. The bird doesn't go with my idea but it was the only template I could find with the stitching detail. Then I had a bright idea of getting my talented cousin-in-law to make the design just the way I want it then I can go to Staples and get them printed! People keep on asking me for ones now so while I am waiting I had fun and made the one at the top of the page.

Camera case

My camera has been floating around in the bottom of my bag for sometime now and I have been worried it might get wrecked. I received a case with it when my lovely husband bought me the camera but its kind of large. I found cool camera cases on Etsy so I thought I would try to make my own version. It turned out pretty good though the photos aren't that great since I took them last night with bad lighting.
