I made these giftees!

As promised, here are the t-shirts and other things I made for people for Christmas!  I loved being able to make them something AND give them something that didn't look handmade.  I love making things for other people in general but there is just something so... satisfying... about seeing something I did in a format that looks professional. :)

But first... here is the t-shirt I made for Rich for his space birthday party.

I found images of real patches from different NASA missions and printed those on the left.

And the holiday card I designed for this year.

I painted the 3 of us plus a couple of "extras" in Victorian garb and put us in a Victorian winter scene backdrop I found online.  Rich and Andy are the only two "fat boys" I've ever painted along with my Fat Girls. :)

And now... the Christmas Presents!!!!

My sister and her family

Candy corn is a symbol that means something to my sister and her husband so I made this little candy corn family for them. :)  I also had one printed for each of the 4 boys as well.  Rainee has 1 son from a previous relationship and Eric has 2 then, together, they have 1.  I hope I can have her take a pic of all 6 of them wearing them together sometime!


Rainee and Eric each also got a mug.

Dad



Rich's Parents



Andy's parents (made by me, given by him)


His parents collect wine so when he asked me to design something for him to give to them, this was the first thing that popped into my mind.

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
