Do You Love To Dance?

Super Blanket!

So last week Z had to have a little surgery. So Rachel asked me if i could make him a special blanket for him to have when he goes.  She already had Zebra fleece (Zebras are his favorite animal) but wanted to add big Z to it out of fabric. Well the date of the surgery snicks up on us so two days before it hits us that it was Thursday. So Tuesday when I got off I went strait home to brain storm and come up with the perfect Z for it. That's when I remember that all last week he has had me drawing superhero symbols.  Batman is his favorite, but knew i'd not be able to put a big Z on a bat.  So I decided to do a Superman triangle with a Z but make the Z out of batman fabric.

Here are the pictures i thought to take as I was making it.

I drew this up so i could take a picture to send Rachel for approval before going to the store for fabric.

Was so excited to find batman fabric with out the villains.

Here is the Superman triangle after i got it sewn. I found a Z on line and cut out the Z and blew it up on the copier so i could trace cut it.

And the Z sewn onto the Superman triangle, oh and this is the first time i've ever sewn anything like this.

And here is the final product.

oh and the zebra fabric is one yard and i used about 1/4 of each of the other fabrics!

And Z LOVES his new blanket and he took it everywhere with him after his surgery which by the way went great and he is happy as ever!

Do you enjoy trying new craft adventures?  

Have you see the new show craft wars?

Busy! Busy! Busy!

so ive been very busy working and planning my moving.  I lost my keys on Friday and did not find them till Saturday night. So I took some pictures of the craziness of my living room before and after I cleaned it this weekend.  Its amazing how a clean space can charge your whole day, even when it is full of busyness!

I also tried this new hair style and I really like it!

here is the video that i learned it from.

Here is what mine looked like

My hair is really dark here because I styled to while it was still wet but i think turned out well.

 my hair id shoulder length at its longest points but it does have a lot of layers.

That is my weekend.  How was yours?

Summer Addiction!

So my new every summer addiction is back.  And I cant escape it.

$1 Large Cokes at McDs.  I swear they spike their coke so it tastes better than anyone elses.  Oh and a little secret it cost the same with or with out ice, unlike Sonic who will charge you extra for no ice.  I HATE ice in my coke.

here are two past comercials for them that I just love.

that one was from 2 years ago

And this one is from last year.

What is it that you cant escape?

Oh and don't get me started when the Monopoly starts!

Yard Sale Deals

So I went yard saleing (Saleing is a word i've made up and proud of it.) Saturday and found some great things. I'll 

Got this for $1.00 it will need to be washed but other wise it is in great condition.

Got this book for $0.25 I read it as a kid and now i can add to my collection of kid books for my kids to enjoy in the future. 

Got some great clothes for the kids too. these are for Chase and Caleb for $4.50

And these for Alexander and Zachary plus two button downs and a pair of shorts for $3.00.\

This I got for $1.00 and it will be a future craft/give away. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with/to it but i'm sure paint will involved. I'll have to think like my friend Dana!

These fun books I got all 3 for $1.00, I have a fun craft plan (From My Pinterest) for them and at least one will become a give away too!

Have you ever found some great yard sale deals?
