Rednesday

I've decided to join my friend Angela over at Free Spirit Haven and participate in Rednesday. It's about sharing your decorative touches of red where ever they may be. Mine, are in the kitchen. I have lots and lots to share but I will start with this one...

Oh yeah...I'm polka dot crazy too!

Are We Crazy

to let these two go on Vacation with his family

a thousand miles away to an Island Paradise?

Because that's where they are.

Call us naive or too liberal but we'd like to think we're trusting and confident...Oh yeah and a little jealous.

Pink Piglets and Fond Farewells

My favorites...Pink Piglets with a dash of black and white.

Rogue won 3rd place in the Market category, meaning, muscle tone and physical appearance and Cormac placed 6th, also in the market category.

Good bye Rogue and Cormac...we love you!

Scenes from a far...oops, I mean from a Fair

Survived my first day of the Fair and actually had a fun and interesting day (click on pic to see details)...here we go..

Alex with his "I'm gonna make you stand still if it kills both of us" look...he placed 4th

Raquel beaming with confidence...she placed 6th

Textile Art...a
couple of my favorites

















Some amazing wood creations










And for all you Mermaid lovers
















Lil' Lulu..this one's for you








All made from Felt...

You couldn't pay me enough to get on this Ferris wheel

A bunny and some Sunflowers

Look what we saw...I swear, it was purely coincidental...lol

and this just made us laugh...needless to say, we DID NOT eat here

...and that's all folks....I'm moo~ving on...I'm just sayin'

Pile of Piglets and One Happy Camper

One of the sows at the farm had her babies...12 of em'. Aren't they the cutest thing? I like the pink piglets the most but these are right up there. There is another sow that is due in about 2 weeks and her babies should be pink...Interesting fact about expecting sows..their gestation length is, 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days.

These are 2 days old..7 girls and 5 boys. I couldn't get too close as this mommy pig was a little temperamental and cranky.

On another note: Today was Raquel's first day at the fair. Although the fair doesn't open till tomorrow, everyone needed to arrive this morning very early to help set up. She was so excited.
hmmm, wonder if it's because her boyfriend will be there too...EVERY FRIKEN' DAY...nahh!!!

Video Treasures

I've decided to show you my yard sales treasures by video. I came about this idea through my friend Angela over at Free Spirit Haven. Keep in mind that I haven't been sleeping much lately...lots on my mind, I'm tired and without make up. Yes...this is the real me folks....except now as of this date...I'm back to brown hair




Click HERE for my yard sale findings!...and yes...I really am this mellow and I do say "cool" a lot.

Big Ass Purse

My latest project has been a very fun one and a very enlightening one. You see...I have lost weight within the last 6 months and in the process I've had to buy some new clothes. Yeah, I know I know...poor me, but you don't understand...I hate shopping for clothes. Not my favorite thing.
Any who, I kept my 3 sizes too big jeans thinking I was going to do something with the denim fabric...like make a denim purse.

So, I got out my big Ol' jeans

cut the bottoms off, then rounded the bottom (as if it needed to be more round..HA!) sewed up the sides and bottom and then did the same with the fabric I used to line it with

Since these jeans already had silver buttons on them, I decided to continue that theme and embellish them with more silver from my collection


I have tons to choose from...Yep!...this pic gives me goose bumps

added a long enough strap and voila'

The enlightening part? Is that these jeans were too big to make a decent purse, so my denim purse swiftly became a denim tote and that's OK because I will actually use it for the beach or pool...it'll hold more stuff...good stuff.
