Custom Keyboard Kitty "Ivy"

Recently I received a message in my Etsy shop from a really sweet lady asking if I would consider doing a custom Lackadaisicat (Keyboard Kitty).

{{Honestly, I felt like a dope that I hadn't thought of it before she asked!}}  

Why I'm a Bad Blogger...

Bad Bad Bad Blogger!!!

I know, I have been officially crappy at this these past few weeks.  

I am thoroughly sorry! 

Let me give you a Quick run down of what's been up over here:

Animal Scarves

Thanks to my loverly soon-to-be-step-sister-in-law Ellen

(sheesh is that a mouthful)

I discovered an awesome gal who makes these amazing crochet patterns

(Bees Knees Knitting on Etsy.com)

My favorite are the animal scarves

I just bought these as a set a couple weeks ago and I can't wait to get to work on them!

(She has others so go and check her out, these are just the few that I bought.)  

Lackadaisicats -- Your Keyboard Cats

For you Cat owners out there 

(or sometimes more accurately out "cat-owned" out there)

Finding your cat resting on your keyboard pressing every ungodly combination of keys is no surprise

EVER.  

(What is that about anyway??)

The Takes-Friggin-Forever Blanket for my Bed

Croc Blanket Project

So, You have seen my "new" bedroom set, and obvious, you thought it was awesome 

(I mean, really, how could you not?).

Well, I have just started crocheting this year and I love it!  I was really inspired to do it by my sweet friend Lisa over at LGDesigns  

(she also has an etsy shop you can find here)

She is so talented and makes her own patterns! plus she is just generally awesome

Anyway, I got serious about crocheting and decided I wanted to make a blanket/afghan for my bed to match my awesome new color scheme in my bedroom.  

Birthday TUTU-TUtorial

TUTU-TUTORIAL

When my daughter turned 1 I talked to a girlfriend of mine, who is a photographer part-time, and asked if she would do a photo shoot of Grace for me for her birthday, she happily obliged and did it for me for FREE!  I was so stoked!!  So, we planned what she should wear and we decided that with her strawberry blond/red hair we should do reds and turquoise (a favorite color scheme of mine)  I found most parts of the out fit and decided I wanted her to have an over-the-top tutu to wear for it!  

I wanted the tutu to have some depth so I went to the fabric store and bought a yard each of three different colors (light blue, a richer turquoise and a pretty green) of tulle that together would give a nice turquoise color with a lot of depth.  

Furniture Revamp Challenge -- Part 3 (Progress)

Ok, So, here we go.  I've got my furniture unwrapped and in the house, I had to investigate all the pieces and get them cleaned up.  There was some grime and gunk, but hardly any scratches, or real damage.  I got so lucky with this furniture!  

It's time to get to work!  

Looking hideous as ever, so let's begin...
