My Upcoming Project...

So I am almost done with the embroidered necklace (which I will show pics of soon) So it is time to find another project. I saw these arm warmers from the Chanel Fall 09 collection a while ago on style.com and really they are just so awesome!! I'm not sure if they even sold these or they were just accessories for the runway show but they are so cool. I'll start to figure out how to make them soon and if I am successful maybe I can make a tutorial!! =)

Long, Long time!

Ah, It's been a loooong time since I have updated but I promise I am going to start being better!!! Not a ton has been going on BUT I started playing Final Fantasy 13 yesterday and wow 3 discs and the most amazing graphics I have ever seen on a video game! The fighting parts look like the cutscenes, its just amazing and we don't even have an HD television. I wonder what the game would look like in all it's HD glory...sigh... anyways here is the trailer again if you were thinking about getting it trust me it is worth the splurge =)

It's that time already...

Not too much going on around here at the moment but I did start working on holiday cards! Here is my first one but I have a few others in mind that will hopefully be cute. Also I will hopefully have my next tutorial up in the next couple of days! =)

My First Sewing Project!

Sorry for the delay in posts, I ended up with that terrible cold and things just got hectic from then, but I am trying to be betteR  about posting, I promise! So with Christmas coming up I decided that we needed new stockings that fit our Tokidoki Christmas theme so I started my first ever sewing project. I was nervous and it took days but I am pretty proud! I know it is definitly not perfect but I don't think it is super terrible for my first shot! Now onto the second stocking =)

Snow and Ornaments Yay!!

Sorry for not posting for a bit, That cold was brutal! I'm not at 100% yet but definitly better then before. So currently it is snowing pretty good and here is a picture of what it looks like out my window right now. Pretty huh?







As of right now I sadly don't have too much to report in terms of making things but I did actually add two more ornaments to our Tokidoki Christamas tree collection. I started this project last year because I wanted to make a Christmas tree that was truly ours and also because ornaments are really expensive and the cool ones are so cheaply made! So here are the newest additions, Buletto and Ninja! I'll put up picture of the actualy tree after Christmas.

Sick... =(

Ugh I'm so sick I hate it! I'm all stuffy and sound like a gopher =(  I guess I will make this a short post and go lie down and  finish Professor Layton and the Curious Village (it's so hard!) but I wanted to show off my new notebook! I just like the colors =) Anyways I will go but I hope all is well with anyone reading this blog, stay healthy!

My little babies are growing!

So about 3 weeks ago me and Chris planted some herbs from seed to see how they would grow on my windowsill. I know it's the middle of fall but Colorado is awesome because we actually get more sunshine then any other place in the U.S (something like 300+ days) So we planted the little seeds in soil in these awesome handmade cups Chris made in pottery class and put them on top of the fridge with plastic bags over them for a couple days. I never grew anything before so it was sooo exciting to watch them grow! So now we transplanted them a few days ago (I want to do a tutorial on how to do this later on) and they are rocking!!! I just had to share, I'm so proud of my little plants =)

So here is the basil
