Elvira's 14th birthday TODAY and she was in the hospital!

My poor baby girl turned 14 today and we were in the hospital with her almost all day because she developed tonsillitis and a nasty infection which thankfully didn't turn into Strep. She was given antibiotics and now she's resting on the couch. I just finished this card for her since I was feeling all gross yesterday from my tonsils and didn't have it in me to create anything. I did manage to make one card...but later on felt worst and just napped.

Anywho...this is a card I made for my LV who turned 14 today...March 1st. She loves the poison cupcakes I've crocheted for her. I've made all kinds of "creepy cupcakes" for her...but she was missing a "bio-hazard" cupcake...so I made her one and made the card to match! :) Yeah...she's creepy like that! *giggle* I also made her a "poison potion" which I'll be adding a necklace to. I know...I'm a weird momma huh? But that's her style and she's a good girl...so how can I not allow her to be HER!

I'm also entering this card for a few challenges. One is Farm Fresh Friday-to make a dessert inspired card and the others are for Copic Creations & The Pink Elephant-to use a wee bit o' green.

Well I'm off because I'm tired and sleepy...just wanted to make sure I posted this on my baby girls birthday! :)

A Quickie to keep you wanting more! :P

Just a quick post to show you what I've been working on...or what's kept me busy per-say! First I want to apologize if I haven't been to your blogs. I have just been going 100 MPH that I barely have any time to breath...I'm still finishing off some homemade Christmas gifts. Can we say cramped crocheting hands? I am so looking forward to another carpal tunnel flare...yeah right! But hey...if it's helping us save money...why not. Anywho...the first is an oven...the template is from Lauren Meader's Timeless Templates called Bun in the Oven. Thanks to this little project...I decided to make a new blog that I may be either launching in January OR I may wait for my birth month of February...it's still just a thought process though! I've really taken a HUGE love of crocheting that I would love to show you my creations on a non stamper blog... Let's keep each hobby apart right? Plus I have plenty coming up in the coming months that I don't want my crocheting fall in the shadows....but we'll see... Ok now I went off track...here is my bun in the oven! It's rolled up socks to look like cupcakes! {click on pictures for larger image}





Now check out my newest creation...I call her Carol Cupcake and she's a pincushion! Isn't she sweet? LOL! I'm selling her for $7 if you're interested (I've already made 6...ouch!). Shipping depends on destination. Anywho...just drop me a line if you're interested! I can also take a custom order! I can make them in strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla frosting with the choice of strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla "cake mix"! They measure 3 1/2" across and 3" tall. BTW...she(they) can also be a decor or a childs toy...I already made one for Lizzie too and an "amigurumi-ish" character for Ozzy who he named Leafynut The Acorn. Don't ask...cause I have NO idea why! LOL! Thanks for looking! Thanks most of all for your patience. I will be back when I can steal another hour or so and as soon as the holidays are over...I will be making my blog rounds! ;) Love ya!

Winter Fairy

First off I want to thank all who left me a comment yesterday on my amazing news! Everyone on the DT made me feel so welcome and the rest made me feel super warm at heart. I can NOT wait to start my term and can NOT wait for you guys to join me even then.

Now on to today's card. You guys have no idea how much I love fairies...I hardly ever use them in my creations right? Well...those who do know me for a while know I LOVE fairies. They remind me of someone very special to me who I wont go into it because I don't feel like crying. BUT I will say she is the reason for my love with them. Well...when I saw Marie's fairies...I KNEW I had to have them! Being that Autumn and Winter are my favorite seasons...Winter taking top spot...I had to make a card using Winter Fairy. It's also for the Farm Fresh Friday challenge...to use NO DP!!! I also made my very first crocheted snowflake. Not too cute...but I tried...lol! Ok...I am off to nap. I've been up way too long without sleep and really need it! I'll take advantage that the kids get up late. If you want these fairies...you can get your own at the Greeting Farm shop!

Nope...it's not a card! *GASP* **EDIT**

So last night I didn't get any stamping done because I just HAD to go to YouTube and look up easy crocheting tutorials. Well...I've always wanted to know how to make beanie skull caps before I even tried to crochet. So I found this tutorial and HAD to make one! I still feel it in my fingers as I not only had the skull cap...but also the flower attached to it. Yet another of this ladies tutorials. At first when I started I said...'ok...I'll start it off and then take it with me when I pick up the kids' you know...to work it in stages? Well I couldn't stop! LOL! It got addicting and plus I didn't want to forget what stitch I had left off (numbers and crochets).

As soon as I was done with it...Lizzie tells me "oh mom...I want it"! So of course since I did it small and it couldn't fit MY fat head or LV's...I decided this one is for Lizzie! She was super happy with it on! She even waited for Oscar to get home to show him (he get's home after 11 at night). He was actually pretty proud of me and my cap. :D I went to be a happy camper!

Just this morning though when I took the picture I realized I had stitched on the flower backwards! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Yeah...don't attempt finishing stuff off when you're half asleep! I'm gonna have to unstich it and flip it so Lizzie can wear it to school today...lol. Yeah...she wants to show it off to her teacher and friends.

Ok...so tomorrow's post I promise there will be some stamping! K? Thanks for putting up with my non stamping posts! ;) <3

I uploaded the pictures of Lizzie wearing her beanie cap! She was such a happy little girlie going to school ready to show off! I flipped the flower to the right side...lol...you can tell the difference! I also added a little jewel to the center of the flower. :)
