Creations and Introductions :)

So now that the baby is asleep, I thought I would post some of my "crafting". I'm proud of some of the stuff, and not so proud of other stuff. Well, maybe a little proud of being capable of doing it.. I can't wait to be able to do some different stuff! Anyways, ONWARD with some pictures!!




So.. we are starting with Halloween..

Grayson's First Halloween! The "C" and circled "C" is because we are huge Chicago Cubs fans -- didn't turn out exactly how I wanted but it still looks decent. I loooved the font, although it didn't work out 100% I had to improvise!

Uh, SO. These cupcakes did NOT turn out how I wanted them too! The frosting was not stiff enough to pipe on the cupcake correctly. This is the first time I tried frosting.. Better luck next time?

 

I made this as a gift, and planned on making use one too.. Little did we know that it would take FOREVER to finish! Basically I used a tomato stake, some wire, ribbon/material (A LOT OF IT) a 100 lights in any color, ornaments, garland.. basically any sort of decoration you would want to add.. Just tie the ribbon and material around the stake and extra added wire.. then add your optional decorations! It turned out cute.. The person I made it for LOVED it. She actually still has it out at her house! :) 

SO, I love love loved these when I did them!! This was my first attempt and I must say that I'm pretty happy with the results! I painted my fingernails with a top clear coat, then white, then pink. I used black in those really skinny brush (Family Dollar for $1 per bottle!! :) I just made lines to the center of your nail.. Well, I'm sure you can figure this out very easily just by looking at the picture..

Alrighty <3 This is my new Love. Crocheting! I've been want to learn and actually had a kit and 2 things of yarn.. so I thought "Maybe I should actually try to learn how to do this!" So I youtubed crocheting.. and VUA-LA! I made a baby hate. I ADORE this hat and hope I have a little girl to put it on someday. It's a puff stiched beanie with a flower. This is the very FIRST thing I had ever crocheted! (Tear- So proud of myself - - ;-P)

Okay these <--- three pictures are of a beret that I decided to practice on before making on for my cousin.. This is how it came out. I'm proud of it, I don't like the butterfly on the back but I was experimenting with them, I need to use a less bulky yarn to make the butterflies that would look cute.. I'm not one to really wear this type of hat.. So maybe someone will want it someday, lol. Eventually as I get better and faster.. I want to start an etsy shop and sell my stuff, I have a LOT of ideas and I can't wait to make it reality :)

Okay, now that I've updated you on what I been up too, I think it would be appropriate to post some of my Photoshop work, and let you meet my family and I!

SORRY! I know there are A LOT of pictures on this post.. I promise this is the only post that will be so full of them! Anyway, this my little family, Me (Dee), Clay and Grayson.. We are not married, but we plan to when we have a better financial grasp on things. We plan on having another child sometime as well :) I edited all of these photos in Photoshop.. I have MANY more photoshopped pictures that I could add.. but I'll save those for a "rainy" day! I hope you all enjoyed seeing my creations and such!
