I just have not had the time or the Internet speed to post.  We have been moving so much with the military so my crafts have been put on the back burner for a while.  The kiddos managed to break my camera and I heard a rumor that Santa will be giving me a new one for Christmas.  I finally got busy and worked on a few things, but since my camera is broken you are gonna have to live with pics from

Well My daughter was full of attitude for Halloween! A month ago she chose a witch for her costume and so like a good mom, I went and bought the fabric and started cutting. A few days before Halloween she decided she wanted to be a Vampire instead. I had already made the pettiskirt and the corset so I decided I would just add fangs and a little blood. No that did not do it! I put the fangs on

Farbenmix patterns really suit her personality and Vida is no exception. the cuffs are marabo sewn on to elastic to make a removable cuff and the leggins are a pair of witch tights from walmart that I cut the bottom off and serged a lettuce edge around the bottom. The bows have a marabo

I love the farbenmix Vida pattern so I am making one for Hope for the fall festival this weekend. I thought I would show you what I have so far but I cant help but think something is missing. there is such a fine line between just enough and too much and my husband says he just doesn't get it. I had wanted a different design on front but it would not fit my hoop so I had to make due. Do you think

bottlecaps 002, originally uploaded by one crafty momma.These were fun to make. I had the images printed at Walgreens and then cut them with a 1 inch circle punch. I used a sticker maker and made them stickers and glued magnets on the back. Then I coated it with an epoxy resin and le it cure. I want to use them to make bows and key chains but these will be extras to go on Hope's snap cap choker

My Husband was off today and was totally bored so we looked around the we for ideas and this is what we came up with. This old House has a really cool tute on how to make a water bottle rocket. I think the total cost today about 23 bucks and I had to sacrifice 2 2liter bottles of my diet Dr Pepper. Everyone in the apartment complex came out to watch and it shot up 40-60 feet in the air.

I have such a small space and so much fabric, I have placed myself on a fabric diet! today I made this dress out of my stash. the denim top is from a skirt I cut up the belt and the straps are scraps from an old project and the skirt is from some cool vintage fabric that was given to me. It was only about 25 inches wide and

I have been busy moving so I thought I would share some old projects that I did and posted on my old blog. here is the "bling shoes" I made for Hope. please excuse the bad pic it was taken with my camera phone. I did do a tute on my other blog but in addition to the instructions make sure you wipe down the rubber with acetone. I have found this a necessary step with some brands of shoes. well

On July 1, 2005 everything changed for my family. We were on our way to visit my husbands family when an 18 wheeler ran us off the road causing us to roll 8 times. All of us survived and miracles happened. My beautiful daughter that you see model for me was thrown 40 feet after her seat belt failed and only suffered a concussion. I am grateful every day for her life and excellent health and I

I know I haven't posted in a while. I cant tell you how overwhelmed I have been! I am slowly but surely trying to redecorate the kids rooms. Hope had seen the crystal chandeliers that are all the rage now and wanted one but I could not afford the huge price tag that came with most of them. I found this old light for a dollar at a yard sale and decided to see what I could do with it I have toi say

I have been so sick since Valentines Day with pneumonia so the house is a mess and I am so behind on sewing but I was able to look at some new stuff to make (like I needed more).Heather Bailey has some seriously cute patterns. I have just ordered the Happy Stacker and the fresh picked pincushions. I typically do not order patterns that are not instant download, I like instant gratification when

In my cafemom group we decided to do a twirl skirt sew along and here are the results. I still need to applique a matching shirt to go with it and Hope was too sick to get action shots. I am hoping to get action shots this weekend.This is the layered tulle twirl skirt from Dainty Designs that I purchased from YCMT . It went together fairly easy till I got to the gathering. Next time I will gather

my kids are notorious about loosing their hats. We recently took a trip to the wildlife refuge outside of OKC and I couldn't find their hats anywhere so I had to crochet all the way there to make sure they were covered and here are the results! Jacob was fine with his plain but Hope said it needed to be more girly so I clipped on a bow. for DIY instructions on making bows, beanies and other cool
