What are those things? you ask?

Did you really think I'd forgotten about you? I'd never do that! The 2 items you see above are bottle caps smashed to smithereens! I asked dh if he could smash a couple bottle caps for me. I had grunge sauce up to my elbows practically, and had some plans for some bottle cap art. I asked him to "rust" them up for me, too. As you can see, he did what I asked. I technically did not tell him to not smash them flat as a pancake, so.....
Men are pretty literal when it comes to instructions. The old, 'Men are from Mars Women are from Venus' thing. Oh, well! I had to drink 2 more beers, such is the luck! Just kidding! I had some laying around! LOL Life is never boring here! I just have to remember when I ask a favour of him to tell him exactly what I'm talking about! Just keep that in mind when you are asking someone for help. Remember... you get what you ask for!

Huggies!

Look Who has Invaded My Sewing Room!!

Ack!! Who goes there? I took this pic of my son, Matt, who is 23, when he invaded my sewing room last week. See the pencil behind his ear? I had to shoo him outta there! He was talking and texting and driving me up a tree while I was trying to sew. hehehe If he would have volunteered to help in there, that would be different! He was looking for something to eat. Hello? The kitchen is thattaway!! No food but fake in here. He has a positively onery smile on his face! Its a cute pic, because behind him on either side you can see my dollies. On the left is a doll CR, from the Yahoo Group I belong to, made me. On the right is the doll Sue, also from group, of Rabbit Hollow Prims made me.

I'm lucky in that I have a room dedicated to my sewing and crafting. I have 2 big tables at a 90 degree angle with my computer, printer, sewing machine and craft supplies. I also have an armoire, chest of drawers, small bookcase, large bookcase and various shelves. All that along with a closet and still I don't have enough room! LOL Can there ever be enough space for all our creativeness, though?

I really don't mind visitors in my sewing room, even if they are 6'4" and he's my short one! Tall boy, my 16 year old son, is 6'7" + and growing! I'll have to spiff it up soon and take a pic for everyone. Its nothing special, but I call it mine!! ;-)

Huggies!

A Little Swappin'

Hi everybody! *waving* Hope everyone has been busy at something they enjoy doing. I know I have been! LOL A couple weeks ago I mailed out this pincushion doll to Wanda, a gal in the Yahoo group I belong to. I think she's been sick, because I haven't heard from her. I really needed to show everybody the pic, though. You ever make something and you can't wait to show somebody? hehe I'm like a child.

This pc was made based on Annie Pincushion Doll by Bette's Tomorrows Treasures. I added patches on her dress, changed her face and hair and trimmed out her dress. I grunged her up, too to make her Prim. I hope Wanda loves her.

This is a pic of the Birthday Tag I made Wanda, too. Her birthday is February 25th, but we are all catching up on the tags right now. This was my first tag to make. I really, really hope she likes it! I'm a little bit nervous making these altered art tags; its all new to me. I figured I could do it because it involves things I really like: cutting, pasting, playing with office/art supplies, etc.

If anyone has any pointers for me, please feel free to e-mail me or leave a message. Trust me, I can use all the help I can get!!! lmao!!

One more thing before I go... Anyone know what these are?

Huggies till next time!!
