Introducing .... Le Sheep

And here he is!  I am reallllly happy with the outcome of this little guy!

and the best part of he makes me smile, and that's all that matters.

Prototype in the works

I'm in the process of designing a prototype sheep... 

and here is the head!

As you can see I'm surround by my favorite colors, and the new stuffing that I LOVE!! It's made out of recycled plastic bottles, it is so soft compared to what i have been using before, and for the same price! Only downfall is it's green, but meh I will work around it..

Here is a question for you.. where do you like to do your crafts... myself I love sitting on the floor and having a circle around me. I know where everything is!

I can do WHAT from my arm chair

Last night working upstairs clean, we came across "how to books" from the 60's

Adele and Don were having a blast going threw them, these books have everything, even on how to build a boat to an airplane. 

So sitting with Adele looking at the books, we came across this.......

That's right you TO CAN TARGET SHOOT FROM YOUR ARMCHAIR

and it's perfectly SAFE...

We have know dubbed these books as the "RED-NECK how-to" books!

Salad Spinner + hair gel + paint

A link from a girlfriend was sent to me to give a try with my daughter as a craft time idea.. which involved hair gel ( a huge bottle for a $1 at the dollar store), small paper plates (again $1 from dollar store),  paint, and thanks to Alex, a salad spinner.

FIrst paint the hair gel onto the plate

As you can see it doesn't really matter how you place the paint, you just let your "mini me " have fun with paint. We also added sparkles to give it some "glimmer" effect.

Now let the laws of physics and gravity and have fun, spin that sucker fast or slow, no matter what you do in the end, to watch Adele's face see the outcome first ... priceless!

VOILA!!!

Our creations!

this was what was left at the end. 

As you can see, clean up is minimum and because the paint was water based I just put the spinner in the sink and watched the water change to multiple colors.. and that was it!

We had a lot of fun with this project, and I can't wait to do it again, as now she wants to make masks with all the colors and her little imagination is going wild with ideas.

SO huge thank you to Alex for giving us the salad spinner!!!! 

BAAAAAAA

I have been wanting to make one of these for awhile.. and finally sat down and figured out this thing called a "loop stitch".  First off.. I dislike this stitch!!! but I do like the outcome. This body is actually the second one I made. The first one was done so wrong that you could drive a car threw the holes that I was making. Once I got the hang of it this was the outcome.

I am thinking of making the body or of different colors.. I think it would look really cute.. any thoughts???

No sharks or five year olds

So at work we bought new camera equipment, to protect it we bought a pelican case. This is actually on the box that the case was in. I had to cut it out, because no one would have believed me that this is actually printed in the guarantee.... read the very last line....

Monster penguin

As stated in a previous post my OPPS using the wrong size of needle... well after rushing to Michaels after work, and seeing that the yarn that I was using was on SALE... HELLO happy dance... I continued making my creature!

And here is the outcome:

Yes that is an extra large coffee from McDonalds... I was just showing you something to scale the sucker with!
I still need to make him a scarf.. not sure what colors yet will suit his aloe colored skin...
I really like how he turned out thou.. I think he is pretty cute!

But then again that's just me... I may be a little biased!
