My Munchkins that I grew in my body, it still blows my mind !

Make your laundry room pretty!

Our laundry room was dismal, beige, blah. I am not that great at keeping up with the folding etc. as it is and an ugly room takes away any motivation I might have for being productive. Color is very important to me so I painted the walls a nice vintage blue /green, hung a simple lace curtain and placed some treasures on the window sill. I still don't fold the laundry very often but it definitely get's washed and dried in that pretty room!

Patchwork wall!

My daughter Apple ( I named her that three years before Gwyneth used it) wanted something cool going on in one of her bedrooms ( she has two VERY small rooms side by side) she went up island to spend time with her cousins one weekend, while she was gone I made a " Patchwork" wall with scrapbook paper. I only did one wall, it is a very small room and anything more would have " closed it in". Apple was very pleased when she saw it and I was very pleased with the price of the project ($5 for materials) and two hours of work!

A Gift for Mod & Sal

It was recently two good friends birthdays so I made them each a neck shawl to suit their fashion and warmth needs. Here is a photo of the one I made for Mod but I forgot to take a photo of Sal's, it was moss green with large black buttons.

HOORAY FOR CROCHET!

I really love to crochet but do not really have as much time as I used to. I love to give crocheted gifts for Christmas so any spare moment I have you will find me making something out of yarn, here is a neck shawl I made for my daughter, complete with a vintage Bill Blass button!

Porcupine Birthday Cake!

One of my sons is obsessed with Porcupines and has been for two years now.
He asked for a Porcupine birthday cake, I used pretzel sticks for the quills and chocolate
halloween eyes and jujube feet,nose and eyebrows, he is more cartoonish than I had envisioned

him being but nonetheless happy with the end result!
