The Eagles (football)

A friend requested an Eagles growth chart.... everyone knows I am totally not a sports team person - but it's always fun to try something different!

 I really enjoyed the process... though it was time consuming... the design at least was a no brainer. I tried to make it look as close as I could to the pictures of their stadium that I found online.

 It's painted with acrylic on primed canvas and then I sealed it with a Matte Finish.

 Lots of fun to do... unfortunately I had to buy the canvas in bulk so now to figure out what to do with the remaining 4+ yards of canvas... I listed some of it in the shop... but I am sure you'll be seeing a lot more projects with it in the near future

 hopefully the new parents will enjoy it

And so the little one will be ready to dress for the games this next season a onesie was made

This was done using the usual freezer paper method-- I cut multiple layers of paper to print the different colors-- fun on a small item ...could drive you crazy though 

Weekends

So I am a little behind... just thought I would show you Micah's first trip to the pool. There isn't much this boy dislike's doing. He was more then happy to swim around in his floaty- the sunscreen keeps his hair up in a  little mow-hawk 

Total lady killer

For mothers day we skipped the restaurants and had a few couples over whose parents aren't local

8 adults can wear a baby out...

Don't worry we didn't leave him there!

Wedding Signature Picture

Remember this wedding invite? Well they didn't have time to use my graphic for the invites but they did end up using it at the wedding. We had it printed onto an 18"x 24" canvas 

Which they had all of the guests sign 

 The ADORABLE couple (his Dad did the ceremony)

 The wedding turned out sooo beautiful ! It was a backyard wedding, the house sits on a lake in a golf course community and it was so nice- the little lake even had an alligator that swam around- AWESOME! The bride had 1000 cranes strung up.

 And the beautiful cake (via Cinotti's Bakery)

 And the car ... because it just makes me laugh!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

I live for weekends!

We are all sorts of busy around here filling up our weekends with fun get-togethers. It was overcast this weekend but last weekend we hit the beach. We went South to a beach Beau 'found' and enjoyed an afternoon of sun and water... if it hadn't gotten cold they wouldn't have been able to make me leave!
Brinkley was mostly all I took pictures of. He isn't really sure about the whole beach thing. Over all I think he likes it but...
the water kind of freaks him out. It took us a good ten minutes to coax him into sitting and it didn't last long.

He does like rolling in the sand though.

and getting the only spot in the shade.

he didn't seem a all upset about being half buried... eventually I am sure he will love it all.

Friday night we went to the opening game of Arena football. We had awesome seats and it was very entertaining we still aren't sure the ref's actually understood the game... but watching huge guys slam each other into the walls was hysterical...especially since we were close enought to see the facial expressions...

it was a total blow out. Jacksonville stomped Orlando everyone got free Arby's sandwiches which made the guys really happy.

No all of us but the closest I have to a group shot... This is just to get Beau back for the terrible photo he posted of me on facebook!

And this is just to show you that Uber and I are far too much alike... I didn't know they had taken this picture!

Last but most certainly not least. The 'dancers' I'm still not sure they knew where they were because the only way I can describer what they were doing was erotic dancing... no really they spent a good ten minutes on the field going through rather interesting poses... you wish I was kidding!

Alright I need to go do some crafting... if I can remember what that is!

Elephant Butt Face

Now that I have you attention... I have a new onesie design and I'm LOVING IT... seriously it's replaced the giraffe design as my favorite. Do you think people on etsy will be offended if I call it the Elephant Butt Face Onesie??! I rather like the name personally.

Front

Back

I printed this one up in turquoise per Ubers request. But like all my onesies you can chose a different color if you like.

I had been meaning to think up some new designs forever and a recent order finally got me thinking since I wanted to send a few things along with said order as a gift. I think the order is about a month late... oops... not my usual business practice I am all about getting things out ASAP. Hopefully I will be forgiven though since the baby isn't due yet and .... well because I am sending gifts!

better late than never...

I finally finished this growth chart for a little friend who is already 3 months old... How did that happen so quickly?! I'm not sure how much his mom reads the blog... so hope this isn't spoiling anything. He has a monkey themed room.

So the token monkey.

a new caterpillar...

and the totally fun new grasshopper and cat tails which I am totally digging. Hopefully I will be getting this in the mail tomorrow.... and I hope he doesn't have one already.

This one won't die on you... I promise.

It's a Goldfish!!! And I LOVE HIM!!

He's handpainted with amazing 100% wool felt hand sewn (of course). It kills me to cut into this felt it is so beautiful. But he is totally worth it!

He's for one of my small friends. I hope he likes him...he apparently likes fish... If not I may steal him back and hope he doesn't remember...because some day he will be bigger than me! (the boy not the fish)

I am already working on another one... who knows where it will go... maybe in the shop?!

Shirts!

Amanda was totally up for some crafting while she was here so I taught her how to do freezer paper stenciling and we even got her all set up so she can continue when she gets back to her dorm!
We picked up some plain T's on Friday and she got busy with some sparrow designs.
How cute is that?

Next she went for a peacock! Which she was a little intimidated by but I think she did a marvelous job! What do you think?

I love the butt feathers!!!

I can't wait to see what she does with her new skills!!

While she was busy with her exact-o knife I made her a logo from some of her drawings. I have decided that everyone needs a logo!

Saturday we got the tree up and decorated. The house is decidedly more festive! I love Christmas lights!

I haven't added much to the tree since last year but I did manage to make up some garland. Its from the shell lamp I took apart last year to make my crystal lamp. I couldn't see throwing all the shells out so I kept them in a bag and finally realized they would be great for garland on the tree. They are perfect... now I just need more shells!

Oh and for a black Friday deal... Amanda got some wonderful deals but this is all I came home with (well for me anyway)!!

They're from Urban Outfitters .... you just can't resist this kind of awesomeness on sale! These suckers are HEAVY and around 3 inches tall. I just with they had done them in realistic colors.

Alright well I am off. Fair warning I may possibly disapear for a while again!
