Christmas decorations, at home edition!

I haven't blogged for what seems like a thousand years... mostly because I have been trying to finish off last minute Christmas gift projects. The good news is, I was on time for all gifts, and now I get to relax and calmly work on a beyond super late quilt for my friend E and B!

Have I mentioned that I love Christmas? I thought I would post some pictures of my decorations at home...keep in mind the camera that these were taken with sucks (Mike got me a new one for Christmas so that problem is solved). 

 Look! Glittery Christmas tree's, I instantly loved them!
 No one believes how big my cat is, but she is HUGE, this is one of the huge gift bags. Pretty Lucy Furry
 My pretty and coordinated tree!
 This is my table, I love the table runner and the ornaments in vase's. And my lettuce chicken/cashew wraps that I made for Mike and I for dinner one night...so yummy.
 We had a gingerbread house decorating party at my house, this is the village.



 This one was mine, and was gluten free and the only one that tasted good :)


 My new favorite fridge magnet, that I purchased 50% off at Zellers on Christmas Eve!, Mike said that this may be the cutest thing ever...he needs more exposure to cuteness I think :)
 My stove!


 My pretty bookshelf :)
 Ornament Vases
The top of the shelf.
 another tree angle.
My favorite ornament, because it's Lacrosse :)

Hope your Christmas was amazing..

Epic crafting!!!

Wow has it ever been a long time since I blogged...In my defense we went to Vegas and I have been working a lot and crafting like crazy to get presents done for baby E's shower today. Some of you may remember me talking about an "Epic" quilt that I was making for baby E, but that I couldn't tell you because I wanted it to be a surprise for her parents....well they now have the quilt and I can finally tell y'all about it!!! 

Baby E has been born into a sports family, both mommy and daddy love sports, however they like different teams so I had to get creative! Here are some pictures. 

Of course I had to do some baby booties! So cute and super easy!


I made a little cuddle bag for baby E, I think it will be 
a good photo op (don't you love my owl pants). 



Mama likes the Riders and Daddy is a stamps fan... hence the logo's


And now the QUILT!!!!


 EEEEKKKK
 It's double sided....so mommy has her Hab's quilt and daddy has his Flames quilt1
 I also made black forest cake cupcakes...these were amazing.



Mmmmm eggnog latte in my Christmas cup! I am decorating the tree tonight!

Here is Mike and I at the Eiffel Tower in Vegas, I love how tired we look! 
Hope things are amazing.

Girls just wanna have fun!


I LOVE crafting for girls! Don't get me wrong I also love crafting for boys but I am a girly girl at heart and extra love working with pink pretty things~
My friends M and D just welcomed their sweet little daughter E into the world, I am delighted to craft for her and have many projects planned/in the works. The first one was these sweet booties! 


Look how tiny the needles are!!! 


                            I made these Baby Uggs for little E already, and I think they are so sweet!
 I also got to make a quilt for little L's first birthday, this is the one that Mike was helping with but I couldn't post pictures until today in-case L's mama read my blog :)
 Isn't it sweet!


 I love how it turned out. I love making gifts as opposed to purchasing them, I feel like more heart goes into made gifts and warm wishes and prayers for the person are always said/thought :)

Hope you all had an amazing weekend :)

I love the weekend!

Hey all!

I am very excited for this weekend! Mike is going to go ATV'ing with his brother out or town so I have a whole Saturday to myself (which I have already slept away half of). I am really excited to be able to stay home all day and do whatever I want, work has been killing me lately and I have been craving some alone time. (And this is now guilt free cause Mike is going for a boys weekend). I have big or little plans for this weekend. Here is what I would like to get done.

1. Work on one of the 3 quilts that I need to finish soon
2. Knit one of the 2 Christmas presents that I am working on
3. Laundry
4. Vacuum
5. Walk on the treadmill while watching the news and knitting

Here is what I HAVE to do.
1. Volunteer at church Sunday
2. Go to church with Nana and Aunty
3. Go to dinner at the parental units

Now...I am going to be perfectly happy if nothing on my "would like to do list" gets done, because I know that if I sit on my butt all day and facebook/watch T.V/ read, that is what I need. I am starting to be really big on self care and making sure that I care for myself (mostly because work is so busy). So I am intent on having a self care weekend, whatever that may be!

What do you guys do for self care? I started my day with my favorite mode of self care. Sitting on my couch and drinking coffee while playing my facebook games and catching up on blogs :)

Pies and finished projects!




Mike has been asking for a lemon meringue pie for awhile, so I thought Thanksgiving was a good time to answer that wish. I used the recipe for Lemon Tarts from the Blackbird Bakery Gluten Free cookbook and converted it into a pie recipe, it actually made 2 pies. 

 This lemon filling is so good I can eat it all by itself...
 I love this mixture!
 So pretty, and tasty too!
 You know little Johnny's blanket that I have been working on FOREVER?! Well it's DONE!!!

 So pretty right?!
 I am in love with this blanket.
Mike and I decided to start a quilt, and he wanted in on the action. I honestly don't think there is anything hotter than this picture! He did great too. I will post pictures once it's the quilt is safely with it's recipient. 

Hope things are great for y'all.
