Spuddy Bud Duds... er... Shoes

Last night, instead of sleep, I decided I needed to decorate a pair of shoes with my last doodle obsession. I call these little guys "Spuddy Buds." :)

I used a combination of Sharpies (for just the outlining) and Sharpie Fabric Stain pens (for filling in the color). I've had a couple people ask me today where I bought my shoes. That is always such a wonderful feeling when I hear that about something I made/decorated myself!


I love how the black turned out looking like black denim! I added the colored hearts on the inside of the shoe because I wanted them to have a touch of coordinating color but not to draw away from the outside of the shoe.


Here's the obligatory mirror shot. :)
This obsession I have with drawing these little people started with a doodle I did on a napkin a few weeks ago. I sent a picture to my mom and she begged that I send the napkin itself to her which I did and she framed it. :) That made me as proud as the times she put my pictures on the fridge in school!

    Very cute! I've never heard of Sharpie Stain Pens- I'm going to have to look into that.

Got something to say? Then I wanna hear it! But if it's mean or an ad that doesn't fit with my blog theme, it may not stay for long. Just sayin'. :) And sorry about the word verification. I'm just tired of spambots invading my happy place. :P

New Apron

Still alive and still cooking A LOT!  The food blog has really taken off which isn't leaving much room for much else.  I really need to get crafty some time soon. But, I did recently find some time to design myself a brand new apron! Here's a more detailed image of my design: At least I am finding ways to combine my 2 passions! :)

Digital Age and Sausage

Wow... 2014 already!  The last of 2013 went by pretty quickly, but I don't know that I have a super lot to show for it. Well, that's not entirely true.  I've been pretty busy with the new site .  I've been having so much fun cooking and I think my photography skills are definitely improving when it comes to that part of the blogging.  I have been doing some creative things as well, though, especially over the last couple of weeks.  I received some money for the holidays and decided to invest in myself by getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (the original, not the new model) for the sole purpose of drawing.  I know, I know, it's completely wasting the bells and whistles of the technology, but I did some research and decided it was the best yet economical choice for what I want to do.  And, so far, I am not disappointed. I upgraded my S Pen and it really feels like I am drawing "the old fashioned way."  Even when I sketch out my design first, it looks and

Opinion Needed: Matron of Honor dress

I am so excited! My little sister is getting married in October and I get to be her matron-of-honor for the wedding. :) They are having a small ceremony and she wants a Gothic feel to her wedding so she told me to just get a dress that fits that theme. Heh heh... I can do that! I originally ordered this dress from Roaman's : I thought it was pretty, simple, could easily be "gothed up" and, best of all, it was on sale AND I had a 40% coupon so I got a good deal on it. When I received it, the seams were extremely puckered and the pleating across the bodice hung in a horrible, unflattering way. And it wasn't from me not filling it out! The lining was rather snug across the boobages. So I returned it in exchange for another. The seams were better but I still had the same issue with the pleating. So I've decided to make my own. Here are my plans. :) And yes, that is indeed TV dinner paper that I wrote on. If you click here , you will see my wedding dress which uses the
