Crafter Mojo is back....

Well I kinda lost touch of my crafty/artsy side and threw everything on the back burner. Even, sadly, my Etsy shop and this blog. Which thanks to my cafemom team they pointed out some fixer uppers to make the shop better. I just still need to take the advice into action...but procrastination and whatever is keeping me from doing so. UGH!. I really need to straighten up and get out of this funk. But I think the mojo is starting to come back....

Well the mojo seem to have started coming back in the spirit of making my daughters Halloween costume. A tutu and butterfly wings. She was just to cute for words (I know a bias mom moment, LOL). Then also due to the holidays in trying to save a little money and also to make gifts more personal I've decided to throw my hands into making those neat felt food I kept seeing online. They were so simple and fast to make, it got me excited again to be crafting. So here's the recent project I did. I apologize for the horrible photos of the felt foods but right now I can't find my USB cord for my cam. so I took these with my cell phone. (man I would like to know where that cord is!!! LOL)

Rockin' Halloween!

So I already showed off my first attempt of a tutu and posted my DD in her costume for this year but here is my 4yr old son in his. He wanted to be a Rock Star (whoo Hoo my mind thought CHEAP AND EASY and it was). I made him a strap for his toy guitar cos I refused to let him tote the real one daddy gave him. He stuck a drum stick in his back pocket. I smudge eyeliner on his eyes and gave him black lipstick.....So ok he turned out to be more Emo Punk Rocker. But now that I look at these pics for some reason I'm reminded of the band Green Day. Crazy......

Meow!

Ok so I'm tired of commercial costumes....They are over priced yet cheaply made. Well like last year I made my sons costume of him wanting to be a pirate...I hit the thrifts and freecycle for things and just bought the hat kit. I loved how it turned out and had so much fun making it. So with that in mind I got excited to make the kids costume again this year. Both costumes are extremely easy. My son wants to be a Rock Star which we have everything already no need to have bought anything and with my Daughter I've been drooling over these AWESOME tutus people make and sell on Etsy....so I put my feet in the water and tried to make a tutu for my lil girl and so Folks here it is......I just got finish making it today and HAD to try it on her and take pics, lol.
