The beginning of this blog sucks...





Ok so the beginning of this blog sucks and is totally random.


Maybe it will become something cool.


Maybe it will fizzle again.



Maybe I will be listening to hot 97's throwback at noon while writing this and mr. boombastic will come on and I will smile and laugh so truely out loud that I will have to explain dancing with Lee at Missy's sweet 16 to my students while they are making clay Gargoyles (true story).



So what have I been working on lately?



Becomming obsessed with others blog's! Like my brilliant bestie's http://iamnotyourguru.wordpress.com/



And lots of crafty ones, especially this one


Craftiness is not an option



and this one



Pink Paper Peppermints - crafty and spiritual!



They are so inspirational!



The only problem is they make me feel like I can do anything! sadly I cannot!



I was looking for a cute project for a friend of ours who was turning 1, all my go to projects are for girls so I was looking for inspiration and found this

from a cool looking etsy shop



but of course I wanted to make it myself because I love giving handmade gifts so I made one myself and discovered I suck at applique.



I started testing my skills on this onesie, for our little Violet and it looked great until I started sewing it. Then it looked like this








































So I gave up on the testing and jumped right in. Here it is before I sewed it, it looked SO cute, I was SO proud of it




































Sadley I did not remember to take an after picture and maybe I can get Luciano's mommy to take a pic of him in it for me someday but suficed to say that it ended up cute but I'm glad I was going for a frayed rustic kinda look because that is definately what I ended up with.




What's next?



I found an adorable daffodil print at walmart that I want to use to make this
