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.

Mom



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! :)

Mmm, mmm, good!

There has really been nothing remarkable going on the past few weeks.  I've made a bunch of yummy food but by the time I am done cooking it, I am so excited to eat it that I forget to take pictures until I am putting away leftovers. :P  This is the only meal that made it and it's probably the most boring visually.  LOL  It was absolutely delicious, though!  I present to you roasted tomato soup and grilled ham & cheese on homemade bread!  I am not a huge fan of soup and never have been.  Tomato soup is one of the few I enjoy because it is creamy and smooth and doesn't look predigested to me.  Now that I have had this, I will never, ever be able to eat canned tomato soup again.  Ever. You can find the recipe for the soup here.   I will also be adding the Pumpkin and Mushroom Lasagna, Shepherd's Pie, and Cherry Bread recipes soon.  Even though the temps are still in the 80's (upper 20's celsius) here in Atlanta, I ...

Baby balls

Okay, that post title makes me giggle.  Titling posts is even harder for me than writing them but you'll see how I came to that one in just a bit. :) First, the baby part.  I was asked to design the invitations for a Halloween baby shower!  (Okay, I offered when I heard about it but they took me up on the offer so that's almost the same! *grin*)  The theme of the shower is Boo Crew so I took inspiration from the invite that they found where they loved the wording of but not the design... Image source ...and designed something that fits with the Boo Crew theme without outright copying it. :) They also found this idea (which I am totally stealing if a miracle baby ever happens): Image source So, of course, I made theirs to match the invite: :) Now for the balls.  LOL With my tummy issue, any time I eat anything with chocolate in it, my tummy hurts.  A lot.  Thankfully, I am not one of those girls that HAS to have chocolate eve...
