What's New?

I have two new designs up on eBay right now. The first, "Melon Kiss" ends Tuesday and is an ooak size 2/3. A euro style print with three scrumptious colors of swiss dot fabric :) The second, "Candy Pop" ends on Wednesday and is made with my favorite fabric of all time, Tokyo Pop! It is pretty much impossible to find but I happened to have a friend who didn't need it anymore, yay for me!!! So check these out if you like and if you want to be notified when I list new things I have added a signup for my mailing list over there on the right---> Thanks!!!

"Purple Flowers"

Yesterday we went to the park to shoot one of two new designs I will be listing on Tuesday (This is obviously not the set) She was being such a cutie rolling around in the flowers and rubbing them on her face :) Here is one of my favorites, she next to never looks at the camera so I was excited to get this one :) I'm not really sure what these flowers are, I tried to look it up and found a picture, but all it said was "Purple flowers" yeeaahhh thanks for the info bud! Anyhow it was a beautiful sea of purple :)

Lilac wine...

A beautiful melody by Jeff Buckley. But not much to do with this post :)

Decorating. For me it's not an easy task. Not because I don't know what I like or what I want, but because I know EXACTLY what I like and PRECISELY what I want! Can I ever find it? Heck no I can't!!!! Most of the time I am forced to just make what it is I have in mind, but sometimes that is not possible. This for instance, I have been looking for something like this for a long time, but I didn't really want to pay $50 for it. So I waited and waited and finally found one for $15, I would rather have paid like $5 or $10 but whatever. It apparently is a candle holder but you know once you light a candle in there the top is going to turn black, who can sit there trimming the wick every 10 minuits to prevent it? Not me!!! So now it's a vase :) Unconventional as it may be, I think it works!!! I wish it was a different color though, it kind of blends into my walls. Oh well, one day when I'm finished renovating my bedroom and the kitchen, it might get a new color. It will have to do for now. There is a huge lilac bush in the front yard and on a sunny spring day such as today was, with my studio window open, the breeze blows in and with it the slightest scent of lilac. It was too much of a teaser for me to handle and I HAD to get some for inside :) And there we have it. Of course then I just sat there sniffing it and taking pictures :) So much for sewing!

Seven

I have been tagged to reveal seven things about me by both Gyl and Michelle. Thanks you bums! Seven things about me hey? This will be hard.

1. When it is really sunny I squint with one eye and have the other one closed. I literally cannot have both eyes open at once. Also late at night, like right now, when the moniter is way too bright for my tired eyes, it's lefty all the way man!!! The latter is in part due to the fact that I have Bells Palsy, VERY strange for a 24yr old girl, and although the stmptoms have only really bothered me badly once, I believe I have perminent damage to my right eye. It sucks, but I am just thankful that my face looks normal, even when it's numb :) (Oooh #1's a twofer!!)

2. My favorite movie of all time is Napolean Dynamite. I have prolly watched it like 500 times and would watch it every freaking day If I had the time. It's incredible ;)

3. I used to play electric bass and guitar. My friend and I fabricated a band called 'Plutonica' and we actually wrote some not bad songs :) Still have the bass and guitar, but havn't played in years!!! The only song I know I can still play is Disarm by SP, which brings me to my next one...

4. From ages 13-17 I was obsessed with the Smashing Pumpkins and I can still sing along with every lyric of every song they ever wrote :) I can also sing just like Billy Corgan, not sure if that is a good thing or what LOL, It might just mean I can sing through my nose:) I'm sure the familiarity of his voice will bring me solace every time I hear it...the kind where you close your eyes and just smile y'know?

5. I had a horrible pregnancy and remember nothing but vomiting, sorrow and tears and that makes me sad.

6.I have a hard time making it a point to talk about myself and I'm surprised that I have made it this far!

7. Ok last one, something flakey, something trivial...hmmm...Ok I hate wearing socks and I hate wearing pants!!!

GOSH that took a freaking hour!!!

I tag: Kerrie,Tanya, Amy, Patty, Cree, Ash, and Becky :)

Camellia

Ahhh It feels good to have a new listing up :) This is my contribution to Limevine's "Soleil" launch. Alot of georgous listings up by my groupmates so be sure to have a peek! This is one of my very fave fabrics, the yellow poetry paisley. Could it BE more delish??? I love this picture of Taya. Eva says she looks like Alice in Wonderland in her big white chair! I totally didnt think of that but it is so true! No reserve on this one. I did a nice little knit waistband on the ribbon pants so as not itch the little one but forgot to mention that in the auction! Oopsie!!! Anyways Have a peek at my auction here if you like :) Thanks for reading!!!

Cherry Blossoms!

Last weekend we went up the Island and Taya just loved the cherry blossom trees :) The breeze was gathering up the fallen petals in little piles, she called them her "special flower gardens" SO cute :) I could NOT stop taking pix but I'm just sharing one real quick :)


I'll will post those sewing room pix soon :)

Tag:mininess

Ok Ladies get prepared to see the smallest computer desk EVER. I did it on purpose. As discussed previously, I'm MESSY. I wanted to minimize the space in which to make a mess so I got the smallest desk I could find. As you can see there is room for a tea cup or two and the small messyness has to stay on the keyboard tray underneath :) This is the corner of my....whatever. My place is just one giant room, so this is the corner of my giant room LOL. TV and couch is behind me, that is Taya's armoire beside me and the rest I just use for a play room... it all ends up a playroom anyhow so why not just make it the best and funnest you can right? Ok so as we can see the speakers have fallen on the floor and have been there for 2 weeks actually...yup! I'm THAT lazy haha, who wants to wrestle that mess of wires back there? Not ME! I can hear them just fine from down there;) We have a photoalbum in there that is full of BEAUTIFUL images not taken by me....lets just say I used to work at a photlab...the rest of that sentence would be illegal so we will leave it at that ;) Hmm what else...am I even supposed to be giving commentary on these or???? Whatever I'm doing it anyhow, over to the left we have an awesome headband that Gyl made me to match my awesome Rhembein bag. She is also the kindly lady that tagged me. We also have an adorable hair flower by Geeta of Babette!. Also some "decorating" by Taya. And now you are bored so I'm just gonna shutty :) Who the heck do I tag? Becky? Bwahaha I have seen yours :)

You know you wanna...

...just eat this. I can hardly even look at it without running to the kitchen to make these again. I have refrained for 3 months. No bake cherry cheesecake tarts if it's not obvious what these are. If I make them...I will eat them ALL. Oinker? Maybe.... Delicious? Understatment of the century! If you now cannot controll yourself and MUST make these, don't use anything but E.D. Smith cherry pie filling for topping. It is the best of the best! Now I have to go find something to eat cause I'm DYING looking at that scrumptious little tarteroo. This is just a new post to freshen up the place while I clean up my sewing room to share with you all :)

***RECIPE***
Ok here is the recipe if you want it :) Smush up 1 1/4 cups of digestive cookies or graham crackers (I prefer the digestive cookies) mix it with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter. Press it into a glass..ummm 8x8 I think, 9x9? I dunno whatever the square one is, the culinary courses I took have long left my mind I'm afraid! then bake it at 350F for 8-10 minuts. Or you can be like me and devide it up into 24 large size cupcake papers(same baking time)

So while that is cooking take two 8oz things of cream chesse softened and mix it with 1teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix in 1/2 cup of icing sugar. I run it through the sifter of course to prevent lumps. Ok now go bean 1 cup of whipping cream and fold it into the creamcheese mixture. Plunk that down into the cooled crust(s) and refirgerate for a few hours. I think it's best left overnight, it tastes much more cream cheesie y'know? Then top it all of with one can of E.D Smith cherry pie filling. I know, not rocket science! Easiest thing to make and so quick too :)
So recap:
2 - 8oz pkg Cream Cheese
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Icing Sugar
1 cup Whipping Cream

1 1/4 Crumbs (digestive or graham)
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 sugar (totally optional, but It's so fattening who cares, just go for the sugar man!)

Enjoy!

Ahhh the onset of spring :) I am trying to FULLY enjoy the spring time now that it is finally here :) After months upon months of rain and mud, I welcome spring with an open sunroof and sandals galore. Boy was I tired of wearing shoes! I HATE shoes!!! They make my toes clausterphobic, who knows if I even spelled that right, but that's what they are when I have to wear shoes. The piggies have a mind of their own. They like fresh air and they wiggle around like they just might DIE if they can't get loose immediatly! As for the sunroof, I love it. I have a black Honda and it gets HOT in there, I also have no air conditioning and each year I don't think I'll make it another day in that blistering ovenmobile. At least the sunroof lets the heat excape, but then I have the sun burning my skin right off. I dont wanna be wrinkly so I wear my pink Jimmie Johnson cap, but hten I get sweaty and that is gross. I can't win, lets face it, I need air conditioning!!! (See what I mean about the complaining? Story of my life...)

Don't know how I got to toes and sweaty hats but my point of this post was to share these pics of Taya. With the onset of spring comes her rejuvination of her love of bubbles!!! She'll take any bubble in any fashion at any time of the day. These were Miracle bubbles with a wand at about 2pm ;) I love her bubble blowing face, as if filling your cheeks with air till they almost burst is at all necessary. We got this bubble container thing, let me tell you what a saviour it has been! I'm looking forward to NOT stepping in goo on the deck, this kid spills bubbles like nobodies business...as I'm sure all 2 1/2 yr olds do ;) Anyhow it's a no spill bubble bucket. I see they have Dora and Diego ones now, but we have an octopus. Get one, you won't be sorry!!! And how I overlooked this little gem I don't know, but Toys'r'us here we come!!!

Comedy at it's best!

So I have been tagged by sweet Mandy do stop complaining for 21 days.......BAHHHHHAHAHAHA. I'm laughing pretty hard here, I'm not going to lie...I'm a complainer... I do alot of complaining..."complain" probably should have been my middle name. My mom always thought it should have been "messy"...so maybe I should be Emily Messy Complainer. Sounds about right LOL. Anyhow, my point here is, I could try....but I would not be sucessful...

What better way to start...

Than with a new design from yours truly! I have to admit, and I do this happily, that I am just addicted to these Freshcut fabrics! I picked up the ivory crysanthemum print, among many others, and snagged the perfect dupioni silk to pair it with. This silk is DElish!!! Anyhoo, these two could not live alone so I plunked some brown sugar denim ontop of the two and it was love at first sight!!! Not sure of how that would go with the general public, I had to confer with Eva. Evedently she was pondering the same thing, as usual - wooohoo weirness, Dupioni and Denim....ahhhh what a beautiful mix! And so this launch was born...and I was a week late for it! Oops!!!!! Anyhow, I'm all listed up and here you go, check it out Here :)
