The hubbs and I have decided to go on a vacation this summer (an early anniversary trip). With the exception of our trip to Jackpot, NV (which was fun, but not much of a real vacation), we haven't been anywhere since our honeymoon.We looked around for cheap options here and found that it was actually cheaper for us to go to Vegas, so off we go!!I think we've finally decided where we're going to

I *finally* finished the dollhouse for the little girl I nanny for. Only 6 months late! *grins*And in case I haven't mentioned, it was based off of this tutorial. I just handstitched all of mine out of felt. I think I may have lost my mind! Kitchen in progress (the handles aren't really that wonky. They're buttonhole stitches, so they stand out from the fridge and stove!)Dining room in progress:

We have a REAL grown up dining table now! No more director's chairs!Isn't it cute? Nice and solid and only $75! (there is a 4th chair too, it was just in the repair shop). I've got the chairs and she's dropping the 4th chair and the table by later. Woohoo! :)

Look what I have!Zoooooooooooooooom:My very own guard duck! Every sewing room needs one! :PHe's been sitting in the middle of our cul de sac all day. I think he must have a girlie duck and maybe some eggs nearby.

I finished the cushion. Still not perfectly happy with it, but I managed to break every needle I have trying to get through it. Ohhh well. It will do for now! Now I just need to get the sides, back and bottom stapled on. Almost there!!

I hand stitched the front piece on (in green, bottom front of the chair) and then sewed the piping onto the floral pieces and stitched the arm covers to that and stapled it all in place. Also, I washed up the old fabric and reused some of the nicer looking pieces to make piping for the chair. I hadn't originally intended to do that, but it matches, and yay for reusing the old, right?I added some

I don't think I've posted my pictures of the chair progress...Here's what it looked like when I got it. I cleaned it as much as I could, but the old fabric was just worn out:First step, taking off the old fabric. This involves a lot of pulling and prying to get the staples out.There are a LOT of staples in this chair!!Here are some "gutted" shots. Front:And back:Once I got all of the fabric off,

So, the trip to the vet started with this:The stupid cat scratched herself and then obsessively licked it until she rubbed a huge bald spot on her chest (It looks puffy in the pictures for some reason. It wasn't...just hairless! :P)So, the vet gave her a shot and some cortisone cream. I needed to make something to keep her from licking it off though...and thus was born...the Super Nermal cape/bib

The latest additions to my bike ridingMy pretty pink helmet (will eventually get some cute decals on it):And my basket (can you see the mountains in the background?

We're supposed to go to an Elton John themed party on Saturday and costumes are required. Any thoughts for some cheap costume ideas? I was thinking about raiding Miss P's dress up box and swiping some boas and her star shaped sunglasses....any other thoughts?

I've been using Jeff's old bike to get to work, but it just wasn't comfortable for me. Soooo, once our tax returns came in, we opted to get me my very own bike. Hooray!!Sing with me now:IIIII got a neeeeew bike! Iiiiiiiiiiit is a cuuuuuuuuuuute bike! :DFull shots:Closeups:Cute leather seat.

Quick recap for the newbies: P and baby E=kids I nanny for. J=the kids' cousin that I used to nanny for.P and J had Little Gym today. P's momma dropped them off so she could stop by Winco quickly to get them some lunch. The girls are just a few weeks apart in age, and it's just kind of funny to watch them play together now. They're both starting to get into imaginative play.Anyway, the girls were

Oh. Dwarf, not dork...and stuff.As some of you know, Jeff and his buddies from law school get together every year for their Vikingfest. It is complete with costumes, Viking names, Viking Olympics, Viking food...the dorkiness just goes on and on. ;)My favorite story from this year's Vikingfest Dorkfest?

I've been looking around on craigslist for a dining set for the new place. No luck in that department, but I did find some things that were too good to pass up.First, a chair for my sewing room. I need to clean it a little (it had been stored in the garage), and I'll probably try to recover it at some point. I think it will be a comfy little spot to sew. Plus, I only paid $3 for it!Second, some

Sorry it's been so long...my camera has not been cooperating and I've been piled under boxes trying to prepare for this move.Finally...pictures of what I've been working on. This is a little felt name book for the baby I nanny for. I also need to work on a little dollhouse for the little girl, but I've been running behind with moving and all.Anyway, here's the book:I'm quite in love with it so

Sorry I haven't been around much...we've been busy busy with the holidays, plus we're moving! It's just across town, but we're still very excited. We're moving to a little duplex in the neighborhood where I nanny, so I'll be able to walk to work. Can't wait!! :D

Do you see me shaking my head and rolling my eyes?? Jeff's doing MMA (mixed martial arts) training right now and he thinks he's oh so cool. Last night, my fears came true...he came home looking like this:Won't he look oh so cute for court today? That's right kids...don't fight, behave yourselves...I'm serious!What you can't see too well in the pictures was that he had a giant goose egg on his

Don't you love when you have a flash of brilliance that merely points out how stupid you've been?We've been having issues with our remote for months. It's like it has a mind of its own. It will only work about half of the time, especially if you're trying to fastforward and then press play on the DVR. Well, I was watching House last night and I started to fastforward through the commercials and

I didn't have to thaw it or carve it or figure out seasonings or how to find the innards or whatever. ;)It was easy to do, very yummy and even included some tasty gravy! I also made some mashed potatoes and Jeff made Stovetop and

We sit at the table and eat our lunch together!P: *looks at me and shakes her head* Jenn...you a kid! LOL...nevermind that I'm older than her mother.

Did you? :) In case you haven't seen the commercials, Starbucks is giving out free coffee if you vote today! Ours offered the regular, decaf or Thanksgiving blend. We both had the Thanksgiving blend, which I highly recommend. It was just perfect for this cold, rainy day! :)We were there right around 8:00 this morning (when they opened) and it thankfully only took about 30 minutes...which is

The first two pumpkins that I carved for our party molded like crazy and I threw them away on the Monday before Halloween. I liked the haunted house enough (plus it went nicely with my graveyard!), so I recarved that. Here's what it looks like lit up. You can kind of see the ghosts that projected on the wall. I still don't think I got that part quite right, but oh well!And here's my favorite for

And last, but not least, the dining room!Shhh...don't pay attention to the fact that I made two left hands. Oops!I didn't have time to paint these, but I thought they looked ok as they were. Closeups of completed skeleton sconces:There were also mice hiding on the stairs leading up to my sewing room (though they were a bit hard to capture in pictures):And my favorite, bats in the greenhouse!

I made the little garland over the fireplace. There are also some little mice running around in the bookcase. Can't see them?

Pumpkins. I already posted the haunted house one...which I ended up putting out on a pedestal in the graveyard. The second pumpkin was a ghost ship and it was a giant pain in the butt. We had tons of problems getting the lid off and it took forever to scrape the insides because the walls were so thick. They actually needed to be thinned down even more so that you could see the light from inside

I think I'm going to split up my pictures from our Halloween party (which was Saturday), or I might drive you all insane. ;)Let's start outside with my little graveyard:These are all based on the graveyard that surrounds the Haunted Mansion at Disneyworld. I love them so. :)Close ups:P.S. The little ghost heads are from the dollar store. They blink different colored lights, you just can't see it

The tombstones are waiting to be set up....I hand carved and painted these last year. More info about them here and hereand I have one pumpkin mostly carved. It will also get some ghosts cut out in the back that will project up onto the house, but I'm going to wait till tomorrow to do that. I also need to smooth this out some if I get time:

Last night, I worked on the second stage of the hands. I coated the "joints" with the adhesive, then wrapped them in cotton, coated them again and molded the resulting putty to make them look a bit more like they're supposed to.A note: This is certainly not a project if you don't like getting messy. My hands were covered in glue and cotton and I had to wash them off twice so that I could finish.

Yesterday we placed an order for our first grownup furniture! Wheee! Our current bed was Jeff's when he was a child and our couch is probably at least that old. My back has been hurting and we just decided it was time. So, off to Ashley Furniture we went! (which I highly recommend, by the way!) We actually started looking on Sunday, when we decided on the couch. Of course, we also found this

I know...probably not the most appropriate/grown up luggage for an almost 30 year old woman...but I love these! I decided to go ahead and get them as a really early birthday present (although my birthday isn't till the end of November), because I figured these would be long gone by then!They're a nice little set. I think I'm in love. :)Plus, they totally go with the pink suitcase my mother in law

We're having a big Halloween party again. So much fun! :) My general theme is based off of Disney's Haunted Mansion, but I like some general little stuff too...soooo, I made a little bat garland from tissue paper (an idea I saw on the Martha Stewart site)It's easy enough to do. I just drew a little bat and then traced him onto the tissue paper (that was already prefolded. I used pencil so that I

Happy Monday! Sorry I missed last week. Leaving town just messes with my productivity. I'm back though, with some more smocking!This design is called "Li'l Stinkers". Isn't it cute? It's not quite finished yet. I need to do some bullion stitches for the stem (I HATE bullions) and then the little bows on the skunks will be pink and white gingham :)

(Finally Finished Project, that is!)Whatever could it be?Why, just a little smocked bib, of course!I started this back when we lived in our apartment.

Sorry I missed last week. Nothing like starting a community and bailing out so soon, huh? ;) We were in Chicago for my darling brother in law's wedding (which was fabulous, by the way!) and I just never got around to crafting. So, to make up for things, I have two this week!I've just been working on some little handwork things that relax me. First up: smocking. I'm working on a scottie dog design

Just in case you haven't seen it:It's a 40 minute musical in 3 acts with Neil Patrick Harris (*swoon!*). It's silly and fun and the music is great. Hurry though! It apparently will be over tonight at midnight!

Happy Monday, everyone! This week's project: hair curlers!I used this tutorial.I made some minor changes...mine are wider (6"x9" instead of 4"x9") and I attached a ribbon loop to the end, since my machine is old and I can't figure out the buttonhole attachment. I also found it easier to attach the buttons before I stuffed them:They quite comfy in. I even tested laying down with them and they were

Happy belated 4th of July! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!Jeff's boss, had his last day on Thursday (he's moving up to the next team) so I made sme banana split cake for the occasion. Yum.It's one of my favorite summer recipes, and it's easy to do to. It's basically just layering a graham cracker crust, cheesecake like filling, bananas, nuts, pineapple, whipped cream and then cherries and

So, I didn't get any sewing done for this first edition of Creative Monday. I've been sick...so I decided to do something quick and easy. And what does one do when they have a little time and a lot of leftover construction paper?? Why, holiday decorations, of course! :DSorry for the blurry pictures, it's just not light enough in my living room right now. Also, you can always click on the pictures

Pyper and I walk every day right now. The weather is perfect, and I'm not sure that we'll be able to walk so much once her new sibling gets here.Anyway, while we were walking on Monday, I looked to my right and saw this silliness in one of the bushes along the sidewalk:Some goofball had placed some flamingos in the bushand Easter eggs under it (although they were placed in the middle of the bush

I've been discussing my creative slump with others in the same boat and I've decided to start a challenge to try to motivate myself. I'm always happier when I'm doing something creative. I just need to get back on track!So. My challenge is this: to post something creative every Monday. For me, it will probably be crafty related, but it could be artwork or poetry or photography...whatever your

Ahhh, the joys of renting an old house! On Wednesday, we came home to find that our sprinklers were malfunctioning (we're on irrigation sprinklers, so they run for 12 hours, once a week). We think that over saturated the ground, and flooded the basement. Awesome.It didn't flood a ton, but there was water standing all through the storage area, under the hot water heater and air conditioning/

Bacon!! Made with two pieces of brown felt, with some pink sandwiched in between. I did a blanket stitch around the outside and a backstitch down the middle. Then I cut out the part in between the backstitching to expose the pink part.Juice and milk. They look a little wonky on their own, but they look ok in the cups.Everything together! Aaaaand that's the end of the felt food for now. :)

So...crafty week was not as productive as I'd hoped. I don't get nearly as much accomplished with Jeff out of town when I'm working all day! Oh well...I'm still plugging along.Here's my next round of felt food: eggs and cinnamon rolls.Heh. I like this too. It looks like some kind of weird face:And here's everything together so far (sorry for the blurry shot. I'm too lazy to take it again):I

We went to friends' house for a bbq last night, and I opted to give the S'Mores Cupcakes a try.I used peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips (because that's what I happened to have on hand). That was a little weird, just because they didn't melt on top, so it had a little stronger taste than I'd imagined, but oh well...they were still yummy!The marshmallow topping is particularly good!

In case I haven't mentioned...Nermal is VERY happy to have her daddy home.She won't let him out of her sight. If he dares to leave the room, even if it's just for a second...she stands and cries until he comes back. *sigh*Also, look at this cute baby kitty I found outside. I waaaant it! :)

So, hubby is currently out of town doing some super cool computer forensics training with the secret service. Yes, he now has a lanyard with "United States Secret Service" on it and I have a feeling he'll be sleeping with it on. ;)Anyway, since I'm alone, I'm crafting. The little one I nanny for (and her cousin, who I used to nanny for) is/are turning two (their birthdays are a week or two apart)

After almost a year, I'm back at it!(that's smocking, for those who don't know. The plain lines are called backsmocking. You have to do that to the backside of any design so that it keeps its shape.)No, the design is not me announcing anything. We're now selling through a boutique in St. Louis, and that just happens to be a design that they like.Here's a closeup:I've also been working on beaded

So, after all the hunting, we've decided to build. We're going to build in the neighborhood we saw a few weeks ago, but with the family I nanny for building...not the craigslist guy. I'm super excited. We're going out tonight to look things over again and get an idea of what lots we like and then we'll narrow down house choices from there. Decisions, decisions, but it's all so very exciting! :)

I'm late in updating...oops.Last Sunday, we went to see the neighborhood of the house I posted about. We like the neighborhood, like the house, but I have to say that the builder made me less than comfortable. He wasn't awful. I didn't run away screaming or anything, but it concerns me when I ask questions and don't really get a straight answer.This community has some pretty specific CC&Rs (

So. Jeff and I now have our income tax returns and were planning on deciding on a house soon...I was feeling a little anxious in general. I really like the houses that we'd narrowed down as our favorites, but I have to admit that I wasn't completely in love with them.Everyone said "when you see it, you'll know." Frankly, at our price point, I just didn't think that was going to happen. Then

A house listing I just read: Quiet location; it almost feels like a dead-end street on a private lane (shhh, it is). Deliver this newly wed seller a wedding gift of your offer and you'll discover you're the one who closes with holy matrimony by truly loving this home. Seriously?? I think I just threw up a little.

Here's the 2 story that we like (the Alturas). There are 2 different fronts that you can choose now.Craftsman front:Traditional front:When you walk in the front door, there's a little entry, closet and 1/2 bath. To the left is a small living room:From the living room, looking to the back of the house, there's a dining area with a sliding door to the patio to the left...stairs to the right and

I finally remembered to take pictures during the walk-through of the new houses. Revisiting our favorites:Here's the one story that we like (the Maple):Here's looking in from the front door:From the front door, the utility room and garage are to the right, the kitchen/dining area to the left (but you have to walk through the living room to get to them). At the back of the house is the living room

They said: Nice upgrades such as tiled countertops (bathrooms & kitchen)I say: Just because it was an upgrade in '93 does NOT mean it's still considered an upgrade.Now...I don't see anything in the listing about the fridge and dryer (didn't see a washer) being included. A girl can hope though!The dryer:And Jeff modeling the fridge...try to contain yourselves!There were definitely some interesting

Oh, people....this house. Wow.You know the saying "can't see the forest for the trees"? Yeah...literally here:I have never seen so many trees on one tiny lot. There were huge trees lining the driveway and the front lawn and all in front of the bay window. Ironically, this was a corner lot, and where you would expect there to be trees (along the street), there weren't any. Goooo figure.Something

Yesterday was an up and down house day. The first one we stopped at wouldn't let us in (apparently her realtor never told her we were coming?) Whaaatever. Butch said it didn't really look like something we wanted to waste our time on, just from what he saw from the entry. Next, we stopped in Kim & Jesse's neighborhood. The builders weren't there and the realtor who was there was incredibly rude.

This was the last one for our trip last week....it had potential, but something in my gut said that there was more wrong with this house than we could see, plus it was further away than I cared to be.This definitely would've been a fixer, but at over 1400 sq ft, it's the biggest one we've looked at in our price bracket:The porch needed to be fixed:but the living room was nice and sunny!The

It was cute though...they even had music softly playing when we got there. heheheLiving room:Kitchen:Cute bedrooms:And look at the cute headboard on this bed...I love it! :)There was a nice little backyard:So why did we not pick this house, you ask?Let's look from the

House #13:Why yes! That IS a peach/salmon colored house! *gag*It was, however, on a nice corner lot...~It had the tiniest kitchen. I could foresee my butt hitting the cabinets behind me if I tried to bend down and get something from the opposite side:~Bonus: skylights!!~Downside: really weird layout and our favorite: BRAIN CARPET!

Slowly but surely, I'm getting around to posting this...these are from last week:I didn't get pictures at the first few because there were people there and I feel awkward taking pictures while they're home:House #11:This one was cute. Nice layout, cute fireplace, pristine yard. Apparently it was a little old man who had lived there. I don't know if he'd passed away or if he was moved to a nursing
