Nanoo Nanoo!!!

A spacegirl from another planet???? 

A budding photographer??? 

Dada at it's finest????

Nope just my girl Zoe & her little creative outfit she put on the other morning. This is why I still pick out their clothes. If I didn't my kids tend to look like they've escaped from the orphanage. Really in truly though, how cute are these dress up clothes? I love them. They are made with a nice heavy cotton & it looks like all the stars & spaceships have been hand printed on the fabric. It's hard to find quality dress up that lasts, these are made for heavy play. I know they will be around for the grand kids to play with one day. I actually found them at a yard sale with the tags still on. The hat $1. The pants $1. Wish I had snagged a few more (there were tons of them) so I could give them as gifts at parties. My kids love them & I know little Oblio will enjoy pretending he's a spaceman someday. You can find more amazing Wovenplay goodness ::here::

4th Finish

"Happy Birthday Love"

I have had so much fun creating all of these "Love" cards for Simply Sweet Marriage. I'm almost sad to see that I only have one more to finish. I have learned a lot from this project. I will never take on another project unless I know I can get it done in a timely manner. If I'm to progress in my talents & dreams I really do need to become more professional when it comes to time lines. It's been a hard lesson for me to learn & an embarrassing one at that. 

Hard to believe that the weekend is already here. I'm super excited. Weekends are filled with lots of family time these days. We usually head to the skate park with the girls. Zoe is trying to learn how to skateboard (love this!!!) I love being surrounded by family, mountains, blue sky, & fresh air! 

I have a couple creative things on my list this weekend & promise to share pictures as I finish each project. What are your creative plans for the weekend?

Home A Work in Progress

BEFORE 

During..............

I promise to show you an after picture as soon as Dean is done. This entryway is a work in progress. Remember ::this:: post? So things take a while to get done around here. The point is they do eventually get done. I think it makes the space look so much better. Dean also added the two can lights & took down that hideous light fixture that was there before.  Tomorrow he plans on patching, mudding the walls & then adding texture. I just adore him for doing this project. I really wanted this archway & he was like, okay. How lucky can one girl be? The tile will eventually come up & be replaced with something better. The people who did this ahhhhhhmazing tile job didn't know what they were doing. They tiled over vinyl. As you can imagine the tiles are cracking & coming up little by little. The floor is next on our list of things to do in this space. Oh that & a new front door. They will both have to wait because they are big ticket items. I think it's shaping up pretty well don't you?

B Pop Arty

Merris made these all by herself. She made necklaces pretty much all day long. Necklaces for me, for sissy, for herself. She was a necklace making fool. It's one of her favorite things to play with.

I think they are rather stylish don't you?

Santa brought Aris her B Pop Arty Beads but I hear you can find them at Target. 

Halfway

I gave a little sneak peak of this project a few posts back.

 I'm happy to announce thar I finally finished my giant log cabin quilt top! Now all I have to do is buy the fabric for the back. I'm thinking I might need to add some outside strips to the top. I'm just not quite certain how I want it all to look yet. I have a couple prints bookmarked on etsy & will probably buy the fabric this weekend. I just have to map it out in my head first. Well I'm off to work on those last two illustrations for Simply Sweet Marriage. Dean should be home from work in the next hour or so & I can hardly wait to see him. Hope you are all having a great weekend.
