Electric Relaxation

Revisited Habits

I've decided to take it back to my artistic roots.  Back to my
childhood. I'm now keeping an art journal...again.  It's been years
since Ive devoted an entire book to drawings, doodles, and sketches.
It's therapeutic...just me and my interpretations of life.  This is my
first entry.  I hope you enjoy.

Le Sigh

Hello Lovelies!

I know i've been MIA for damn near a month, but I can explain...life.  Yup, life consumed me and all my attention & energy.  My creative juices have still been a bubblin', but I just haven't had the time to pull a post together...I know, I gotta do better.  I just want to apologize for my absence and promise to make it up to yall.
P.S.- I've missed yall big time!

The Simple Things

Dylan's first haircut

 Autumn wouldn't be right if we didn't go to the pumpkin patch!

 pieces of my heart :)

 I'm surprised he sat still long enough for me to take the picture

 ...her too

 Ava wasn't feelin' the whole hands in the grass thing...lol

I'm so proud of her...all she wanted to do was walk :)

Twerk Ya Closet Tuesdays: Ruffles

I've been wanting to ruffle something for a while now.  I was inspired by Joy (love her blog) of HowJoyful Design Studio's Upcycled Ruffle Dress Tutorial.  The cream colored shirt is from old navy and the print fabric came from a new york & co. dress that was entirely too big for me.  I cut the collar off the shirt because it was baggy (a baggy mock-neck is so not what's up).  I love the way it turned out, but OMGeezy are them ruffles tedious and time consuming...especially when you have two 21 month old toddlers running around.

Hello My Friend

I got a sewing machine!! *pop-lockin*  This was my earthday gift, fedex finally delivered it tuesday evening...i'm so stoked!  Since December 2010, i've been using Grams machine, which was cool.  But it wasn't mine.  Now, I have one to call my own.  It's a Brother CS-6000i, has an automatic threader, snazzy decorative stitches, and is crazy lightweight.  Oh, annnnnd it came with bonus accessories (which included a hard case/cover, extended table (detachable) walking foot, spring action quilting foot, and quilting guide...boom).

Now all I need to do is name it...any suggestions??

Happy Autumn

I've been looking forward to Autumn, but as today arrived with nimbus clouds my mood was not cheerful...more like melancholy.  *sigh* At least my wreath is purrty.
