Etsy

So I have been thinking of opening a shop with Etsy for quite awhile now and just haven’t. I kept making excuses about how I didn’t think anything I did was good enough blah blah blah... Anyway my honey who always knows what to say in times like this told me there will be people who don’t like my stuff but there will be those that do...AAAHHHH and a light shone from heaven. So I figured if I can post this I can make all the excuses I want but I’ve commited in writing...I can’t chicken out again. One of my wonderful friends DD saw what I planned to make for my shop and immediatly wanted one. YYaaaahhh! Now I am commited in writing and I had an unsolicited compliment. It isn’t just me needing to create...Here is a little tease.

Lace pillows and a bunny

Here is a copy-right free image for those who love them

I love McLinky not only do you get to see whats up in my world I get to see all sorts of wonderful creations. Iv'e been working on these tea dyed pillows for awhile and I'm done for now (until I think I need another that is). =) I also made a bunny not the first but I love this one.The fabric is so sweet. I have some green accents in my room and even though a stuffed animal hasn't claimed my bed as home since I was very young, she will stay for awhile.

First Freebie =)

I have finally gotten my computer to upload my first freebie! Yah! This is in honor of the first valentine day of my blog. The image is copy-right free so please feel free to download it. Enjoy and let me see what you do with it. All of you inspire me so much. :)

I love Roses

Here is my first attempt at making coffee filter roses! Who would have guessed it was so fun and easy. I found it at Martha Stewart.

Booga Boo

Here is my lovely oldest daughter and my grandson. She is such a blessing! I thought it would be nice to have a photo of them here since they are the inspiration behind the name of my blog. Elayna said that Booga Boo was the name she thought of when she had him. The almost 2 years since his birth has flown by at such an extremely fast pace. We are looking forward to the birth of Elayna and her husband Randy's second baby in June. Thats only 4 months. It seems to be going faster with this baby. 

We have 6 kids altogether. Not all mine not all his but after 10 years the lines are blurry. Just the way God intended for our family to be.  =) 

Ya know I am pretty crafty and I love to sew and so many other things but i realized that I haven't put anything here to really show that side of my life. I don't have to be brave and show my teeny tiny craft room which is messy. What about some people makes them so messy? It must be because I am a visual person. I sit down surrounded by all my little pieces and combine them into things. I think I am so very content when this happens. I am very blessed and have been for so long. We don't have a great big house or impressive cars, but we do have each other. No things could ever replace my family. When God brings the one meant for you into your life it changes things for the better! ok enough rambling. 

Snow and a little pillow

It has been snowy forever! Well it feels like it anyway...so as the saying goes...have snow, make beautiful pictures. I would rather have flowers. I am so ready for flowers and besides Chihuahuas Hate snow! I have 2 of them. They are very cute except the snow thing. Ok I made this pillow the other day and thought it would be fun to show everyone. I tea dyed the material and used antique lace. The picture just doesn't do it justice.

More Mod Podge

One of my new fav blogs is Mod Podge Rocks. I have been so inspired by all the projects she has posted and the stuff she does. So in that spirit I want to show you my kitchen cabinet. Will you give me your opinion on the project. I want to know what everyone thinks of painting the cabinets behind the doors white or stain them black. I plan on re-staining the bottom cabinets black. So what do you think? There is a lot of creativity out there, let me know! :) Thanks all. Oh even the paint color on the walls is under discussion.

New TV Stand

Hello all you blog fans! I have been busy again. Here are some photos of my new tv stand that I bought for $9 and some change. I already had the paint, so this was a screaming deal! I am so excited about it, I could faint...ok I'm calmer. Here's my baby... Before

After...

I am so In. Love. (even though she still needs handles, hehe)

Snow Fun

My 2 youngest boys with Bob the Snowman.

New Background

Hi Blogworld! I just visited the Background Fairy and she has some really neat images. I picked myself up one and I love how it looks. It seems to say...Tawney. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Blog Links

I have been busy! I didn't realize how many wonderful blogs there are out there in webland. I have added a bunch to the blog list. I am getting inspired by all you lovely ladies. These are my newly mogpoded (is that a word?) treasure boxes. My mom gave me a wonderful book of antique newspapers from the late 1800s to early 1900s from South Dakota. Aren't they fabulous! I plan on containing my jewerly in them.
