I have these friends!

I have been working on a friends birthday present for a year. His birthday is the day after mine, June 2nd! I worked on it before his birthday last year, then I missed my deadline and then I forgot about it! I finished it this year, but it didn't turn out like I had hoped. I am going to give it to him anyhow even if it is a week late! They are cross stitched pac man ghosts, and then I made them into magnets! I had a lot of fun making them!

Okay so heres the deal though, my husband came home the other night with my birthday present from him and his wife, and it is amazing! Funny thing is it was hand made magnets. It is Olimar and three pikmin from the video game Pikmin that I LOVE!!  So it got me thinking that I need to make him something else to make up for the year lost and something from a game that he loves as much as I love Pikmin. So this pillow was what I came up with! It is a slime from a game called Dragon Quest! I had a lot of fun making this one too, but my husband wants to keep it! Jenn don't let him see, I am bringing it by later!!

Fun with EAD and my new Bike!!

I got a new bike for Mother's day! I love it, but it was kind of plain. I recently ordered some vinyl rub-ons from E.A.D Designs. I LOVE them! They come in all sorts of colors and designs, and they recently started a stickerz line that is AMAZING! Here are a few pictures of the bike. My camera isn't very nice, so the glare from the metal is annoying, but you get the cuteness right?!!!

The rub-ons I used are the retro spring kit in pink!!

OOHH and just in case you were interested the Bike is a 

Trek Navigator 1.0 16.5 inch!!

Robots

My friends little girl Olivia turned 1 last month and I didn't get her anything because I was looking for a girly robot gift. I love all things robots, space, an gnomes. Better throw mushrooms in there too! I was looking around online and I found a hand made girl robot plush toy. I said to myself "Self, you can make that". So I ran, well drove, down to the local fabric store and bought some really cute pink fabric and some felt! I think she turned out super cute! I embroidered an O on the heart for Olivia and crocheted the scarf. I haven't crocheted  in so long, I was very excited that it all came back to me so fast!  I think I might try some doll clothes for Jamie next!! 

Febuary

So I didi it!! I reached my January goal, even a week early!! SO this is the month I start exercising again....ugg! I actually like to exercise while I am doing it, but its the getting to it that is hard!! Wish me luck, the goal is everyday, so we shall see! I am kind of excited because I get to up my calories for it!! Julian Michaels 30 day shred here I come!! I watched the X games this weekend and it made me want to learn to finally learn to use the snowboard that I have sitting in storage!! maybe this will be the month! Alll things are possible through Christ who strengthens me!!!

Sarah's Bday present!

My friend Sarah's birthday is Sunday and she is a Sci-Fi freak!! She loves space themed things and wants to name he coffee shop "The Outer Rim", lol get it? She has a wood island in her kitchen and her husband is always getting mad at her for putting her hot pans on it, so I made her some large hot pads that will fit under her large pans! I know she is going to love the fabric soo much! Funny thing is I was watching a medical show the other day an one of the doctors had a scrub cap on made of the same material!!

Zade's card

My nephew Zades Birthday is coming up, and I made him this comic book inspired card from Bam Pop paper I purchased fro Torendi.net! The tag tucks into the back of the card! I hope he loves it! I am going to make him a pillowcase, I will post that later! I am off to the store to get some fabric!

Thankful

This is a little project I made with the girls! Well mostly I made it, but they stamped a few leaves and picked out what they were thankful for! They were so excited to help because they are usually not allowed in Titus' room where all my stuff is! The card is a card I made for my sisters 8th wedding anniversary! It is late in getting to her, but I wanted to be able to send something with it! I used stuff I bought from Torendi to make, I wish I would have bought some of there fabric because the modern 8th anniversary is linen or lace, it would have been nice to add that to the card. I guess since it is already late, I can still do it!! Bex, if you are reading this act surprised when you get this in the mail!!!
