Well, Strumpet is having a new swap, a Valentines Day swap! But here I am at last blogging about the ornaments I received.

My package came all the way from Mexico and i was so excited to get it! My partner, Sara, Sent me treats, a ring, and two ornaments! I was so elated when i got the package that i ripped it open! Now i can't wait till next Christmas so i can display them!

The first ornament I opened was this one. It's so simple but so complex. I love how cute it is!




I love this one so so much. Green is one of my favorite colors and i think it was embroidered perfectly. It is one of my most favorite hand-made gifts I've ever received!

I feel December is all about the little things. I love buying people tons of little things instead of one big thing. I also think its about the little touches people make in their houses. Our bathroom was lacking a little Christmas magic so i got down to business.

I grabbed some red fabric, white thread, and two cotton balls. I cut triangles out of the fabric and made my cotton calls into tiny little balls and whipped them into this,

little baby hats. Do you know what i did with these baby hats? well that is exactly correct, i put them on anything with a face in the bathroom, however did you know?!

i love them so much!! It's the little things people!

15 days and 40 minutes, but really who's counting?

Lately i have been on a crocheting spree, i have just wanted to crochet all day long. So i have been! I usually spend my time thinking about different jellyfish i can create or other products that will make me and my friends happy. Well i decided to create an owl. Last time i went to first friday everyone commented on how cute the owls were & i even made a sale in like the first 5 minutes of setting up! So i went on a little photoshoot the other day, walked into my backyard which is all woods and just had fun with them, they are so adorable!

four of them in a tree

their most favorite spot, hiding the the grass!

my two favorites, i think its cause i love their colors!!

have you been creating anything new lately? is so what!

This is the start of chapter one, what Eddy and I would like to accomplish in life. We did one separate goal each and two combined goals!

Although I am terrified of heights i would like to one day ride in a hot air balloon! I feel like it would be so romantic and fun!

This is Eddy's personal goal. He wants to be able to make money with his paintings and find a good graphic design job, instead of the one he has now. I also want to be successful but as a teacher and with making things! This page is directly related to his paintings.

We both want to have children some day, (I want lots of them, he's not to sure about the LOTS)

and we both want to buy a house, we have agreed that when it is time to move out we will just buy a house because renting is a waste of money. Its a big responsibility but eventually we will be ready for it!

this is a list of the things we want to do, short term & long term. Well ... its not finished yet. I figured as we make goals we will write them down! its hard to think of things on the spot, well sometimes!

Recently I was at the store and saw this gorgeous book for about 50 cents, It needed a little bit of work, but I was willing to fix it! I spray painted the cover a deep purple and then added drips with a light pink color, I'm not really super fond of how the cover came out, but its growing on me!

This is the spine of the book, Harrowing adventures

This is the first page of the inside cover. Since i used the song "The Harrowing Adventures" by Tokyo Police Club i decided to make a dedication page to the song. Since i planned on making the book about Eddy and I's adventures, it was the perfect title, i had to!

The cute little title page! The picture of the lady on a horse was already there, and i just wrote over it.

This page has since been changed. It now has a picture of Eddy & I in it, and its much cuter! Maybe I'll post a picture of that one later!

This was just a page i altered talking about who the book was by, and who it was dedicated to. I just did a few cross-outs, write overs and decorations to make it say what was important.

same thing as the last page but on a different page!

Just a cute little doodle!

This is all the beginning of the book right before the first chapter happens. I will update later with the first chapter and maybe take a few more pictures from the book, it is actually coming out really well! I am so excited.

So last year for Christmas i made eddy a pacman quilt. Not just any quilt, a crocheted handmade, took 500 hours and a million mini granny squares kind of quilt. Here i was last year the day before Christmas sewing frantically in my bedroom trying to make sure it was all done. Rest assured i slept so well that night. It was also really hard to hide such a big task from someone you see everyday and to keep it secret! There were many a times i just wanted to give in and be like, "babe, i am making you the best quilt ever!!" but i didn't and he was so surprised! I think it was the happiest i seen him ever and he used it most of the winter. The quilt only acquired a few little holes here and there that i had to sew up which was good! I got a lot of great reviews from craftser users and got featured on a few websites! Now the only question i have is how can i top last year, and the answer is without killing myself i don't think i can!
