Snow Day?

Seems it was an "Ask and You Shall Receive" kind of day. Remember how I wished for the snow day? Well.. I sort of got it. Two hour early dismissal. The irony? It hasn't snowed a lick, yet. It's 5:45. We got out 2 hours early and it didn't.even.snow. Ha!

So, what's a gal to do with a few extra hours on her hands?

Craft Day!

Those are all the goods. All are made with pins to make cute little brooches.

Close up of the "poppies". I kind of *adore* these.

And, I made them using hot glue. Not a stitch. Only fabric, hot glue, scissors, and a pin back. I rock.

Cute little bows. I mean, everything is better with a bow. Can I get an Amen?



Little felt flowers. Swoon.

I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with all of these.. but I did get a compliment on my homemade bow brooch today (that I made last night and didn't snap a pic of.. but it really wasn't that nice because the ribbon was a scrap piece, but whatevs) and someone did ask me to make one for them. So, perhaps I can gift them to my cutie co-workers.

Thoughts? Is that lame?

Shameless Plugs...

Started blogging with some crafty friends, sharing ideas... so I suppose it's only right that I plug that site, too. And, the cuz started a blog, ran out of ideas, and returned to blogging again, so I suppose I should plug her blog.

Sorry if you were hoping for substance today, I don't really have any. Just blogs.

Only in Michigan..

Totally just saw a man purse, mullet, fu manchu, AND a fringed leather trench coat on a dude in a restaurant.

I heart Kalamazoo, Michigan.

But I hate that I didn't have the stealth factor it required to snap a picture for you all. Because I love you all dearly, I decided to make my own version of what he looked like. And yes, I totally used paint because I'm cool like that. I think it actually adds some character to Mr. Fu.

"Hey Ladies, I'm single and ready to mingle!"

And yes, I totally had to look up the correct way to spell fu manchu. The first grade teacher in me wanted it to be three words or one word, but certainly not two words.
