Whiplash is Back

New Heidi Going in the shop today and cupcakes coming very soon! Breakfast totes coming soon too & more summer inspired paintings!

---------------------------------

So, I guess this pouch would be my favorite thing I've made lately, I really like the little gnome! This bag sold this weekend in my shop but I think I will make a few different variations sometime soon. The cupcake was made by my mother, she has more in our shop and will be adding more very soon!

Cheers!

Gus likes my tissue paper apparently, he stole it while I was packaging up a few orders today!

2 New Paige Pockets

Here is the 2 newest Paige Pockets that will be going in the shop later today!

Dead Lavender...

The side of my house that i intend to make pretty this weekend

Yes, it's official that the Lavender I planted last summer, it's under all the weeds you see sprouting out of the rocks, is dead. So, today hubby and I are going to Tagama Nursery to buy a rose shrub - my other rose bush is doing beatifully and I will post a pic once the buds start to open. The new rose shrub will hopefully give a lot sweeter view of the side of our house that everyone in the neighborhood drives by all day long. I mainly want to block the water main pipes and the foundation from view.

The view from my desk this morning

The Ice Cream Man Wins!

Working at home means that every afternoon around the time the kiddos are getting dropped of by the bus the ice cream man echoes his tune through the houses on the street. Today he won and the hubby and I each got a bomb pop, which felt like it was about 10 times bigger than I remember them!

Thanks Jessica!

I know it's probably not good manners to thank somone for a thank you, but Jessica was so very nice to send me a handmade thank you card for the pouch I made her (with the zippers she gave me that her grandma gave her). She included the cutest little postcard made by Emily, a fellow Etsyian! It's called 'A Good egg is Hard to find', it's sitting on the shelf next to my desk in the office! Thanks Jessica!

Finally, A zipper pouch!

Thanks to Jessica over at Funky Finds who sent me an entire box of zippers that were given to her by her grandmother I had the guts to try and make some zipper pouches with clean interiors and no visible seams. I'm so excited, I think I'm going to take the blue & white floral I got from Japan and make a few zippered pouches for the shop.

Luggage Tag Entry for everyday creativity. I love cherries!

Luggage Tag entry Picture #1

Whipup Whiplash Competition Entry

This is my whipup whiplash competition entry! I didn't have much time this weekend but I thought that luggage tags are very much everyday items for people who travel a lot so I made one from scratch, pretty cute I think! For more pictures, you can click on Home, I didn't know how to get the pictures all on the same page.

Hanging out on the clean deck thanks to my DH!

Happy Hour with the Robinsons at Rio

Ahhhh Friday

1st Time at the Playground

Grandma and I got to take my nephew Britton to the playground for the 1st time ever today, oh man did he have fun. I guess his favorite will be the swings some day!

Paige Pockets

These are my new Paige pockets! It took me a little bit to get the point just how I want it but now I have the perfect pattern made! I need to make some more with 2 pockets on the inside, mom has a 2-pocket one she really likes! I'll be posting them later today here!

Great Mail Day

All my new fabrics

I received my new order of fabric from Fabric.com. I have to finish the 2 purses I'm working on now, and then I can't wait to dig into the new stuff. I wish I knew when Amy Butler's new Forest line was coming out - I'm dying to get some.

Oh Swoon...

Here was the not so great picture from my camera phone of a great and dramatic entrance by Michael Buble! Boy he is fun to watch, such a great voice! We had a great time!

Michael Buble Concert

This was the view as Mike and I waited in anticipation for the concert to start at Temple Buell last night!

My Tulips

Well, spring is not here yet but I got some tulips for the kitchen until it's nice enough outside to plant some flowers. This year I'm going to get a bunch of succulents for the inside, the rosette kind. The one succulent I have now is doing awesome! I'm really ready for spring!

Babette in Chocolate & Peony

Ok, not the best picture but here's by new Babette bag, it's a shoulder bag. I really like this one a lot!!

The rainbow next to Tattered Cover

String is the yarn store mom and I went to yesterday, this photo does not do it justice - they have so much yarn! We picked out some yarn for the curly Sue scarf mom is going to make me and for our Etsy shop, the one we're going to put in our shop is this beautiful honey color, so sweet and just right for Spring with a tank or 'T'!

When mom & dad are gone, the kids will play!

While we were enjoying our lunch the pooches found the paper plate stash in the basement - looks like fun!

Friday afternoon

J Alexander's makes a killer marg!!

Paige Pocket & a Monkey

The Paige Pocket.

I think this will be my large version, it can hold a pouch of Kleenex. I like the 2 pockets on the inside. I need to design my smaller version.

I am going to start on my nephews sock monkey this weekend, I got the Rockford Reds in the mail today!

Bubble Boy

Sometimes we call Griswold 'Bubble boy' becuase he was born without the personal space bubble that most humans and dogs seem to have. He has no regard for others' personal space - it is pretty cute though!

Babette in Cherry Tomato

This is my new bag I'm selling at my Etsy store. I'm really happy with it, I'm going to make another one with some pink and brown Amy butler fabric. I'm hoping to finish it this week. I also accidentally made a really nice wallet the other day, jus experimenting with snaps, I'm going to make some of those next, it will have 2 pockets. I have a name already picked out too, it will be the Paige Pocket. Then I want to experiment with making some fabric picture frames, Like the one's at Anthropologie but not $50. Oh yeah and i have a great pattern for a clutch, I want to find cool vintage fabric though a BIG floral would be really cool. I'm loving Etsy, oh and I sold my first thing last week!! Not that anyone reads this anyway but you can check me out at MaryMo.Etsy.com!

Cheers!

What do they dream?

Afternoon nap, ahhhh the life of a dog!

One Track Minds...

The boys sure have a look of satisfaction after a game of fetch in the snow and a milk bone!

Stud Finder No More, Pipe Finder - Oh Yes!

Drying out pictures

So aparently it's easier than you would think to puncture a water line while nailing in baseboard. We did this back in January and were not made aware until Saturday afternoon when we noticed water leaking down from the sub floor into the basement. We nailed 2 perfectly centered nail holes into the hot water pipe near the floor in the living room. Hopefully not more than $1,000 later the floors just need to dry out so we have fans running everywhere and a de-humidifier. What a weekend!

Look who made the cover of her Magazine, again!

So maybe I'm the only female who isn't a fan of Oprah. She seems nice enough I guess but I feel like very time I happen across her show for a moment (which is maybe 2 times a year really) It's a bunch of woman going way overboard in their excitement level of a celebrity like Tom Cruise and his love for his young enough to be his daughter girlfriend, or when Julia Roberts was prego with twins the crowd was balling and screaming - you'd think Elvis showed up or something. Ladies, people have twins all the time - why don't I find it the least bit interesting that Julia Roberts had twins - Big Whoop!
Anyway, I saw this mag at Vitamin Cottage and it cracked me up, why is SHE always on the cover of her magazine? Maybe she figures it's better than James Frey.

"M" is for...merry?

So I've been totally absessed with Typography lately, I've been wanting these silver letter M's ofr our bookshelves but missed the auction for some Pottery Barn ones, but my DH found 2 of these at a Thrift store in LoDo - I was so excited! We're going to make a big whit edistressed wooden one for our kitchen wall by our fridge too. The when I do our picture gallery on our hallway wall I'm going to frame some important letters and numbers mixed in with the pics, I think it will look pretty cool!
