Big blossoms.....

I've been working on fabric blossoms for the candy leis' and they look so pretty just piled up on each other I thought I would share a peak of some of them...

I still have about 25 more to go before I can start of the actual candy lei part and can't wait to see all of them made!! I think I need a little thimble....two of my fingers are sore from working with the needle!!!
Hope you're doing something fabulous! Have a great Day!!

Hawaiian Raaaaainbows.....

Okay...I've been working this morning!! I know...can you believe it?! Really, I did! I made a few of the candy leis' for the end of school, which are now officially called Big Blossom Candy Leis'! They turned out toooooooo cute and are so fun!!! I think all the Girls classmates will love these!!

I didn't use curling ribbon as most suggest because its just not my favorite item, instead I used colorful ribbon. Many people also use Saran Wrap but I used cellophane to wrap the candy and there is a lot of candy in these....but my favorite part is the Big yo-yo blossom! This thing is HUGE and happy and when the candy is gone....it can be used again!! Maybe to make a hair band or a brooch or on a scrapbook page...{Love!} Who knows what the Kids will come up with!!

I grabbed the oldest before he ran out the door today....so helpful to have a handsome, willing participant {even if he does need a shave...ahem!}...here he is striking a pose for me, wearing one....

I'm happy they turned out as I envisioned....its always good when I don't have to scrap a project after I've purchased all the supplies!! Have you ever done that?? Not fun!

The Girls are off school again for Memorial Day but they also have two forced furlough days too, so it's another 5 day weekend!! I'm excited about it...my Sister is flying in for the long weekend...a belated Birthday present to me and it should be a super fun time...so I'll see ya next week!! Oh and in case your intrested in purchasing your own Big Blossom Candy Lei....I put some in my esty store!
Have a great weekend!!!
Hugs,

Pocket Full of Posies.....

Still working on some really cute fabric flower posies....the perfect embellishment...for so many things...

as a matter of fact, its pretty much all I've been doing these last couple of days....making yo-yos, cutting out flowers, sewing and glittering up some small clothes pins too because nothing can be bad when you're making things sparkle....

A few sets of flowers are going into the shop this weekend...I hope you'll like them, they were fun to make.
The weather is suppose to be turning SuPeR cold here...even a chance of SnOw, which I seriously doubt but would LoVe to see!!!! Its 47 degrees right now, down from today so it might be getting a tad bit chilly! I stocked up on soup so the Kids could warm up after school tomorrow and over the weekend. My little doggies will probably not want to go out at all they are such little babies! Hope wherever you are, you're staying warm....
Until next time,

A Cutie Pie, Hair Yo-Yo, Valentine!!

Since it was my turn for homework help at the Church and the Girls have choir first, I grabbed some of my crafting supplies and had some quiet time to make some yo-yos before the Kids came into to work. I had been wanting to make some hair clips for a while now and while sitting here today..trying desperately to focus, only on crafting and not what is going on in my "real" life, I started thinking about Valentines and while looking at the happy finished yo-yos, I thought how fun would it be to give a hair bow as valentine! {of course with my sweet tooth, there always has to be a little sweet treat too!} I decided on these....

A yummy little stick of cinnamon red hots with a tag, attached with a glittered clip..and on the tag...a cutie pie hair yo-yo...how cute is that?! I covered the scary stitching with a cute little felt heart! {Magic!}

I think I'm getting a seasonal cold. I've started sneezing {a thousand times} and my eyes feel tired and watery. I'm sleepy too!! I think I'll go try to be horizontal for a minute or two...maybe I can talk the Girls into snuggle time and really hear about their day!!
Thank you for stopping by, I love that you did!
Hugs,

Yo-Yo Crazy??!!

It was a pretty quiet weekend around here. I even got to sleep in on Saturday!!! We rented a couple of movies...Avatar (loved it, wish I had seen it on the big screen now!) and The Bad Lieutenant (Hated it, no really Hated it!) and while we watched....I sewed and sewed these little yo-yo's. At one point my Honey said..."How many of those things do you need?" A lot...I'm sure of it! How many? I don't know...just lots and lots!! What am I gonna make with them? Flowers, for sure...maybe hair clips...maybe scrapbook embellishments...who knows..I just had to make them. My Daughter wanted to learn too...and she did and then made several herself!

I also started Weight Watchers! I definitely need to get this extra weight off me. Its so boring being over-weight. I hate it. So....I'm gonna work it...I planned the meals, I went grocery shopping! With me, if I plan...Its easy, peasy...If I don't....well, not so much. Tonight for Dinner...London Broil that's been marinating since yesterday and oven-roasted Beets and Garlic..YUM! I'll have to make another veggie too, since I'm not sure the Kiddos will like Beets, then again...ya never know! What exciting thing did you do or was your weekend quiet too!?
Hope your Monday is happy!!
