Father's Day Crafting

I am a blog follower and love trying projects I find on other people's blogs. They are soooo creative! One day I wish I could come up with a clever idea everyone else wants to try. But in the mean time, this is the project I copied for Father's Day. Bakerella; (whom is the best and most creative baker alive) did these on her blog last week and even provided the template for the trays. You must check her out and see all her other great ideas. She was even on Martha's show making up some 'pops'. So Cute!
The fries are made from sugar cookies and the hambuger is: a cupcake cut in half, a brownie as the burger and frosting colored to look like condiments (ketchup, mustard (looks like cheese to me) and lettuce (she also suggests tenting coconut for a more realistic look). The heat made the frosting start to run though.
Hannah loved hers and even Connor is smiling (under that blasted binkie!)
I think Heidi loved taking pictures of it!
And this was my father's day gift to Grandpa Hootie. Sorry, this is the best pic my mom took and I forgot to take one myself. My dad's hot rod made the cover of Rod and Custom earlier this year and asked me to make up a frame to put in their game room....about 5 months later I finally did it! I am excited about the outcome and will post a better pic later, after its hung.

Etsy Addition

Check out the newest addition to my store. These are fun and Connor really uses hers all the time, especially when I bring her to work.
You may have seen this one on my site already, but the bottom 3 are an order I filled this week. They are lots of fun and I love thinking up new themes!

Happy Graduation!

Saturday we went to Cousin Sarah's Graduation party. Hannah provided plenty of entertainment...in all her magenta glory!
Connor looked like a gap model....so cute!

And Auntie Lisa went camera happy trying to snap some good shots. This one was one of her favorites.
We ate Cake!with tasty frosting!
And gambled the night away on the slot machine.at least we pretended to gamble...Aunt Marti was checking ID's at the door.It was a good night.

I hate Titles

First off. I hate titles. I know they help you organize your posts and some people do get creative with them...but I'm not one of those 'some people'. Sorry.
Here is another post of Connor at work for lunch yesterday. Her dad let her wear her tie-which, once it's on, it doesn't come off! She loves this tie and thinks it is the perfect accessory. (I think it's off a teddy bear from my sitters house). However, this time, I think it made the outfit. And the sunglasses. Miss Thang loves her glasses. Is she not the cutest thing ever!?!
I apologize for the pale skin and droppy eyes-she's drugged up!

Wonder where these will go?

I found this way cute throw pillow idea on a couple blogs recently and had to give it a try for myself!I used some old pillows from our old bedroom set and picked up some more fabric from Connor's room re-do

TaDa! I cut and gathered the strips out of the contrasting fabric and stitched them on, leaving the edges raw. However, if I had a serger I would have totally gone that route. (ahem)Can you tell I HATE pinning? My strips have a wavy ocean affect. I think it makes them unique!
Do they not complete the bed?

Did I mention before that I got this quilt for $15! No buyers remorse here people.
OH how I love new projects and making things for our home.
So Fun and Fulfilling!

Time Flies

Our little buddy Derek will be 1 in less than a month! We had to take this picture because Derek is wearing a soccer shirt-instead of his usual baseball clothing.

and yes-it is a big deal. His Yankee fan of a mother only dresses him in baseball clothes-nothing else!

she's crazy:)
