sock wars III

2008-06-19T09:03:00.000-07:00

Here are the beautious weapons of war that killed me aren't they lovely? Aaahhh!!! They were made by 'Elphaba' aka Sarah in Trekking. We had warrior names I was Dauntless, smile! and I do not remember where I came up with that name. It was the wine, must have been that glass of wine. But aren't my sock just wonderful? Thanks Elphaba!

Here is a swap package I put together last month for the Premier of Sex and The City, I love the movie I missed Carrie and the girls and Big, gotta love the guy, muuuaahh! Aah, yes I will be seeing it again, smile... You didn't think I would sneek in a flask to see it and toast with the girls, naw not me.

The challenge this time was to picka purse one of the characters would use and what would she have in her bag. I went with Carrie, smile I miss that gal and of course a clutch. But I kinda went with thru the years what would you have found in it at any time.

Well you remember what fell out of her purse the first moment she met big, smile yup, stuck a whole bunch in there. Then when she went through her aviator wearing, and big flower phase, and a cupcake holder of course in case she went by Magnolia Bakery. Tampons of course through out all the years they came in handy even getting her and Samantha a table at a new popular restaurant or... you would have had to have seen the all the series, you silly's. Oh, a thong when she was trying to leave some things at Bigs apt, I couldn't resist the nicoret patch when she was dating Aidan I made one and some other goodies too I added in. It was all in good fun and a clever fun swap. I hope my swap partner liked it?

So fun and hApPY feeling

2008-06-17T10:56:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun making these aprons the fabrics are so fun and happy feeling. This one reminds me of the beach a tropical beach of course. With yellow polka dot accents and pink ric rac, love that stuff whom ever came up with the concept of ric rac was a clever sort. It can make something that is happy, happier or something that is pretty, prettier. The butterfly apron is seriously really fun and happy, it just has a light heart feel to it plus I love the polka dots. Polka dots and ric rac go together so well like apples and caramel or vanilla ice cream and hot fudge or pancakes and syrup hum... happy food!

My challenge was to make a purse from something it wasn't. So I used a vintage quilt top I had it had not been made into a quilt. I did feel a bit guilty cutting it up but I was re-purposing, or another way to look at it as recycling. actually the way I made this bag/purse or tote, it could be reversible. So here is a peek inside which could be the outside, smile...

Bento Experimenting

2008-06-16T18:56:00.000-07:00

Okay I love the whole Bento Box Lunch idea and it is a practical idea to take ones own lunch and well I was experimenting. I had been making my lunch and darling daughter wanted a lunch and so I asked darling son if he would too? My first two days of young adult lunches, I forgot to take pictures of them and I have been adjusting quantities and protein vs. carbs. Well I lost my mind on this one I found a microwave cake mix, hum... handy you say and it makes three perfect cupcakes in the microwave in a minute and a half and used my little silicone cupcake liners to make them, ta da! Molten Choolate Cupcakes. Betty Crocker is one heck of a wooden spooned gal, this was genius and I was clever to cupcake lunch them in Bento Box, smile! I also made homemade jello with the little knox unflavored gelatin and grape juice and splenda, smile it was good too. I used some little bonbel cheese's, grapes, carrots, apples, tomato's, homemade japanese potato salad which is delicious, sliced grilled chicken breast left overs, some frozen dim sum each day has been a adventure of either planned ahead or a potpourri of left overs. I did save money taking my lunch to work and it was so much healthier than what I would have ended up eating

Isn't this so coordinated?

apron so americana

2008-06-16T18:01:00.000-07:00

This was so much fun to design, smile I made a apron and the theme was Independence Day. I live not too far and not too close to the beach and the Fourth of July is fun and beachy and stars and stripes and down home cooking, comfort food, happy smile. I kinda ran with the beach and fun and festive with a dash of flirty, bIg gRiN. I used a red butterfly bandana inspired fabric for the background and made ruffles with a blue beach inspired fabric with Woodie's cars and palm trees and hibiscus and I used a yellow polka dot to make the pocket which reminds me of the sun and a polka dot red star because you should be a star when you wear this fun apron and the ricrac and white little pompom trim is for fun and light heartedness. Its a fun apron, Enjoy!

This was a picture of my work in progress it was fun, fun, fun...

So special this aprons is....

2008-06-16T17:54:00.000-07:00

I have recently made a few aprons this one is so sweet and special. You really have to see the fabrics up close. The are so fun and I enjoyed every moment combining them together. If you could see the black accent fabric up close you could see it has strawberries on it. and the yellow applique flowers on the poket are polka dots and the pocket is red and white polka dots. I made a stem and leaf for flowers using ric-rac it is kind of hard to see in the pictures I took. I also accented around the necklineand hemline with different colors of bias tape and ric-rac. I made long waist ties and in one view you can see it tied at the back and in the second view it is tied in front so either way will work. I used such a variety of colors and patterns and trims it is such a special, special apron, CupcakeKat I really hope you like and enjoy it. Oh by the way I hid a red polka dot heart on the inside for a bit of whimsy.

I love the way this apron came out, it is long gone on its way to a lucky gal I sure hope she like its.
