Aaaaah! Did that just happen?!


For those who care (and those who don't I guess) the Open House Party Saturday was awesome!!! Lots and lots of people, lots and lots of food, lots and lots of good conversation. My homemade chili and fresh baked bread went off like a "Supa Sta" (that's super star for those not geeky enough to get that).

Want to see pictures? Umh, sorry. Funny story about that. We will laugh about it someday right?

Right?

Well, Friday night Hubby and I are just chit chatting about this and that and the issue with taking pictures of jewelry comes up. My little digital camera just isn't cutting it anymore. I calculated about thirty or thirty five different pieces I want up on my Etsy by Feb. 8.

Yes, I'm a little behind the whole Valentines thing.

Hubby is totally on board for some awesome digital SLR. "What does everybody else use for this kind of thing?" he asks. "A Canon Rebel." I say. Hubby looks it up on the web. We don't quite have the $600-700.00 for that right now of course. So I'm all, "I will just make it work with this little 6 mega pixel camera here."

I try to turn it on. It says to turn off and turn on again.

I turn it off and turn it on again.

It says turn off and turn on again.

I turn it off....you get the picture....or not.

The camera hasn't been feeling well for a while.

Here I am with over thirty pieces of jewelry and no camera.

Freaking out!!!!

Thank you Jesus for Facebook. I post about it on the computer and....

This is the "Did that just happen?" moment for me.

...a new friend of mine comments not thirty minutes later and says, hey, you wanna borrow my Canon Rebel?

Seriously?! I felt like someone just entrusted me with the Mona Lisa. It really says something to borrow a person's ubber expensive piece of equipment like that. I was speechless.

I baked her a loaf of bread to say thank you. What can I say, I got a bread machine for Christmas. Tell me my hair is pretty and I'm likely gonna make you a fresh loaf of bread.

Second trimester hormones. Seriously, I need to figure out how to package this stuff.

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

Image
I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
