Another toddler costume duo...

Fred and Wilma Flintstone...

Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head Costume

Trick or Treat

A friend asked if I could make her daughter and son Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head costumes...
I said I'd try... They turned out pretty cute,
 and I can't wait to see her kids in them...
I decided her daughter need a candy bag with extra parts, it's just felt pieces cut
and vinyl sewn over the top....

Halloween Home Decor 2012

 I still love this candy corn banner!

 Got the ol' tree branches out again this year!!

Fall Mantel

So it's September and my mantel was ready to experience a 

little fall...

I made this sign using this tutorial...

Now, if my weather would cool down, I would like to get

the rest of my fall decor out!!

Linking Up

Friday "Fotos"

 I had to make this camper pin cushion the minute I pinned it...

It's awesome... (I still need to add the wheels)

 View from my couch... (a happy view)

 Super happy feet, my favorite combo gray and white polka dots...

Hubby surprised me with these... L.O.V.E. him...

 Homemade play-doh... Soft, squishy, and warm.... 

 One of my favorite Back to School pins... No flowers, so I used 

vintage rulers, scissors, and paintbrushes...

 Lots of babies (pink ones) in our lives... 

Baby shower gift a zipper diaper and wipe holder.

 I could NOT pass up this necklace... I can't wait for fall...

 Frappes at least twice a week, BUT I have switched to non fat...

 Kiss text message to my hubby...

Did I mention I L.O.V.E. him?!

Wanted to take flowers to my neighbor, my hydrangeas were looking pretty sad, 

so I painted a mini Katie Daisy inspired canvas...

Tried and a True Review Board

So I just started a new board on Pinterest

Tried and a True Review

Where I could pin actual things I have made via Pinterest 

and then share my review...

Do you have any tried and true Pinterest reviews to share??

Elise's California Adventure

 Finally after years of friendship Elise was able to come to California!

I decorated her room in a colorful vintage theme.

 Painted a milk glass lamp yellow...

 Filled a basket with new linens, her favorite snacks, toiletries, and gifts!

 We filled our days with crafting

 This was a cowl we modified the directions and ended up

with a leg warmer... Oops hahaha 

Emilie spend her days crafting with us.

 The kitchen table held two sewing machines and all of our supplies,

Off to the side was a 4 foot table filled with vintage sheets and fabric...

Photo op...

 My mom's birthday was during Elise's visit and she made my mom 

this dish towel..

 She also made her homemade cream cheese biscuits and put them

in a glass Poppy jar (my mom's favorite) and brought pear preserves from

Georgia to complete the gift!

My mom LOVED it...

 We made dishmats with terry cloth backing for drying dishes...

 We took a trip to Sutter's Creek

The Three Amigos

We looked up CRAZY pronunciations

because clearly we say things different in CA than they

do in GA... For the record the correct way to say Top Ramen is: 

RAHmen 

not RAYmen ... ;)

...and we took a boat ride on the lake...

It was an AWESOME 10 days filled with

FUN.FRIENDS.and FOOD.

Thank you Elise for coming, until next time!
