crud....

the last week or so have been plain rotten. very little sleep. mikey has a rash that is being stubborn and he's really crabby. took him to the dr yesterday..spent like 3 hours at least just carrying him around waiting..keep in mind he's 45 pounds! he didn't want to be put down and wouldn't let daddy hold him. but got some cream for his rash that i think will work now. but i've been up since 2 am.. really sleepy!

lalaloopsy!

i first saw these in the summer and didn't get one. so recently i was thinking i wanted one..well apparently they are the hot toy for christmas and you can't find them in the store.. not because all the kids have them.. but cause there are around 3000 on ebay! well my hubby got me this one at toys r us this weekend. isn't she cute? and since the box says for ages 4-104 i guess it's ok hehe!

cookies and scarves

today i made these fudge crinkles cookies. i promised myself i would make at least a few kinds of cookies for mikey this christmas. that was one of my favorite things about christmas. we usually baked several kinds of cookies. next will make some milk free chocolate chip cookies. as some of you know..mikey doesn't eat diary.


also still been making scarves. not sure who i am giving them to yet. but they are fun to make and use up some of these fancy yarns in my stash!




finished...

this neck warmer. i like how it turned out. gotta few more ideas floating in my head! maybe soon!



used these pretty vintage buttons!

a couple more creations..and mikey's tree


this is for a fellow twilght fan. it didn't come out perfect. the glitter was a little unruly...but i think she'll like. i used canvas, paints, decoupaged the picture on and varnish.


this SOFT scarf is for my goddaughter.


and her is mikey's little fiber optiic tree he loves. with an ornament he brought home from school yesterday.
HAPPY WEEKEND!
