So Ive been wanting something new on my hook for a while, but just couldn't decide what, it needs to be something that I can set down and pick back up a million times, so something that wont involve too much counting similar to all the dishrags and wash cloths I was making- or granny squares or hexes I just love the way they look in a basket all waiting to be crocheted together.</div>

Just as an update- we are working on our trailer, Mr. B built a covered deck for me so I can be away from the bees while still enjoying the lovely weather we've been having, we got the kitchen painted, and all of our Fiesta dished put away! I tell you what, the Dollar Tree has saved me a TON of money with stuff for the new place- i'm in love.</div>

Last night I started and Finished this sweet little pattern for a Scrubby for your Swiffer, the pattern was only $1.50 throught Ravelry, and I think it was totally worth it. It's also available on ETSY for a slightly higher price (but then you have to wait for it to be emailed).</div>

<br />
So many things to say... I will start with this:<br />
<br />
This will not be a crafty post. I need to write about life today. I'll find something cheery and crafty hopefully soon!<br />
<br />
Almost a week and a half ago one of my dearest friends in the world found out her husband has cancer. And if that wasn't heart breaking enough, my husband lost his job yesterday.<br />
<br />
So ultimately we will be fine- my husband will find a new job no problem. But my friend is having a hard time ALREADY with the bills, she and her husband are out of work now- because hes already started treatments and she is taking care of him, and I feel like I need to do some type of fundraising.<br />
<br />
Has anyone ever done anything like this for someone?<br />
<br />
I'm on the music scene here, and considered battle of the bands but can anyone think of anything else?<br />
<br />
I know I'm probably just at a loss because my brain is muddled, but I just feel like I have to do something for her, she is the best person in the world, and would do anything for anyone. <br />
<br />
If you have any ideas, please let me know.<br />
<br />
Maybe I can open an Etsy shop with donated items, and all the proceeds go to her? Idk, I need your help.<br />
<br />
Hugs and Love,<br />

I have been busy!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Michael's had their sugar n' cream cotton on sale this week for 1.00, so I decided time to stash up for wash cloths! I've made bunches already and the majority of them even have their ends woven in! lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Also, last week AC Moore had super saver red heart for 1.99 so i picked up a rainbow of colors to create this beautiful scarf! I crochet it long ways, and its a little over 8 feet long.

<div>My goodness! I had surgery yesterday morning and am really enjoying the stay at home recovery time. I can get so much done! I was hoping Mr. B would take me to the yarn shop tonight to pick up some more goods, but he came home all snotty and sniffly so I didn't ask. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I would LOVE to see what everyone else is working on right now!! </div><div><br />

I want to see pictures!!!! ;)</div>LoveMusichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833434366453738765noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713723923195909455.post-57849356482664623822011-12-17T00:21:00.000-05:002011-12-17T00:21:37.185-05:00My oh my! Tis the season!!Hello! It's been many a day since my last post, not for lack of want that's for sure! Most days getting home from work to cook and do the dishes are all I can seem to accomplish ahhh "married life". Oh did you miss it? I guess I had been neglecting my poor blog. There is now a Mr. B- a very handsome one I might add.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xk-SlEUZ65o/TuwizpJ1jdI/AAAAAAAAAno/8bBKAwiOvrI/s1600/IMG_7116.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xk-SlEUZ65o/TuwizpJ1jdI/AAAAAAAAAno/8bBKAwiOvrI/s320/IMG_7116.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />
I look at that picture and wonder how I ever got him to wear a purple shirt! What a lovely day that was, stress free too! I had decided early on that whatever happened, happened. Whatever didn't, didn't. It made wedding planning and preparation very pleasant and simple.<br />
<br />
We moved two weekends ago in with my in-laws which makes no difference to me since I don't spend much time at "home". It's the holiday season and I work retail so I am working over nearly everyday.<br />
<br />
I have managed to squeeze in some time to make some gifts but shame on my I wrapped them before taking pictures so I suppose one will just have to wait a wee bit longer to see the pictures!<br />
<br />
I made my mother a blanket and a scarf, and my nieces all little sparkly makeup bags. I am working on a blanket for my brother and have made a bunch of scarves out of scrap. Oh! I also started a few amigurumi creatures, and have been buying used crochet books from the internet like wild! I have a thing for pattern books anyway to find them pre-loved and cheap is even better!<br />
<br />
It's been cold and warm here, some flurries and some rain. None of the weather has been too drastic, but the doggie and I have decided to hunker indoors tonight with our crochet and some cookies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HVAT0nD8Nro/Tuwlo8vRG8I/AAAAAAAAAnw/1AznEtRu07M/s1600/061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HVAT0nD8Nro/Tuwlo8vRG8I/AAAAAAAAAnw/1AznEtRu07M/s320/061.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, and Peanut Butter cup. This was half way through, I had 4 trays in the oven, and about 8 more to go.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n1qxcqU1ui0/Tuwl71XsmZI/AAAAAAAAAn4/i6CWQBwmYqE/s1600/066.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n1qxcqU1ui0/Tuwl71XsmZI/AAAAAAAAAn4/i6CWQBwmYqE/s320/066.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><br />
Mr. Doggie wanted one so badly he was being so sweet but he got a doggie biscuit instead. I did at least give him a peanut butter one.<br />
<br />
Ah, with the hubby working all night, and the doggie fast asleep I believe I shall work on the blanket for my brother and sip some peppermint tea. YUM! :)<br />
<br />
Hugs!<br />

I'm sure there will be a multitude of projects to follow!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyone have any great gypsy tips? References they use a lot? I'd love to know!! I Just recently have grown my cartridge collection enough so that I feel like a gypsy will be helpful. I can't wait to start using it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Love Much!<br />

I had bought these canvases at michaels a while back and wasn't quite sure what I would do with them, but I knew I had to have them.<br />
<br />
So today as I was playing with my cricut, I decided I would work on these canvases and this is what I came up with, the set of three will be SOOO cute in my kitchen with my pink and black appliances!!!!<br />

I've purchased 7 new ones in the last week or so for less than $150.00. Yes, I should be saving for our wedding, although the majority of our wedding planning and purchasing is already done! Our rings will be completely paid for by the end of the month. Just waiting on the bridesmaids to get their dresses! :)<br />
<br />
Also, today at Hobby Lobby I picked up this Cricut bag:<br />
<img alt="Cricut Machine Rolling Storage Tote Bag! Green" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21mglyNhM4L._SL500_AA300_.jpg" /><br />
for 23.99. It has wheels and LOTS of pockets. :) I was amazed at the deal, apparently they are usually around 99.00 there, so I was thrilled.<br />
<br />
My best friend ordered my a Gypsy, and it should be here next week... SUPER EXCITED!!<br />
<br />
Our house is being moved week after next, and I am sooooo thrilled to get in and get settled!! :) I will have an entire cottage for all of my crafting stuff!!<br />
<br />
<br />
I made these pendants with the paper stars I have been folding. The stars are approximately 1/8 inch, and I've made them in a rainbow of colors. The pendants have a loop on the top to hang from a necklace, and are adorned with a small Swarovski Aurora Borealis crystal.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

While its a sign of hope, it also reminds me of what she went through, what my family went through, and all those who weren't so fortunate. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTQ6w1BXGfYLaiT9DZetmuEXP3P-ELI4FFhoKwMldfUZIzXkKwVMA" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will be participating in the <a href="http://ww5.komen.org/">Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure"</a> May 7th, 2011. In an effort to try to earn some donations for the cause I have set up a special section in my <a href="http://www.lovemusic.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> store just for this. I have a section called "SUSAN G. KOMEN" and all of the proceeds from those items will be donated in FULL to the cause. I will be adding stuff this week to it, and hopefully in the weeks to come.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is a preview of what there is:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Lazy Daisy Stripes" height="240" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_570xN.29943975.jpg" width="320" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Pink Cupcake Paradise" height="238" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_570xN.89284374.jpg" width="320" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Milkshake Half Apron" height="222" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_570xN.233426061.jpg" width="320" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Set of two pink and brown argyle bows" height="240" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_570xN.128910323.jpg" width="320" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Pink Tulip Hair Bow" height="240" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_570xN.128021434.jpg" width="320" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Like I said I will be adding more, this is just a preview. I have approximately 40 items available right now. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I can not tell you how important this cause is to me, men and women should be educated about breast cancer, and we should all be fighting for a cure. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
So I've been a little busy while we are trying to get ready for the wedding and moving. I did manage to get one bird house painted last night, this isn't one that I planned on using for the wedding, but I might! I love the new paint colors I picked up!<br />
<br />

Oh, and by the way these pictures were taking with my phone, on the dash of my car at 6:30 in the morning before my morning walk to work from the parking garage. (did I mention I was busy?) lol<br />

<br />
Great to see so many new followers!! For those that left their link I am also a follower of your blogs now too!!<br />
<br />
When I get to 25 followers a random giveaway will happen! :) Feel free to invite your friends!<br />
<br />
So today, I decided I wanted to paint a little bit. I love to paint, I am not an expert, and I am certainly not the best painter there is. My wedding is coming up in FIVE months (OH WOW!), and I would love to be able to relax from decorations the few weeks before the wedding, and the weather has been so nice, so I thought I would go ahead and paint a few things. :) <br />
<br />
I whipped out my acrylics, and went to town on this little birdhouse gazebo that I bought a few of for center pieces... :) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yLDbExTnM_M/TZDeG37eUGI/AAAAAAAAAiM/mdzdF3FfTSE/s1600/wedding%2B001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="214" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yLDbExTnM_M/TZDeG37eUGI/AAAAAAAAAiM/mdzdF3FfTSE/s320/wedding%2B001.JPG" /></a></div><br />
We are using a lot of birds and butterflies, and purple hydrangeas. :) I like the way this turned out, and after I got to painting it went so quickly. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jqDRJuHWyP0/TZDeG_mtY7I/AAAAAAAAAiU/yKQdrv-1tbQ/s1600/wedding%2B005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="214" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jqDRJuHWyP0/TZDeG_mtY7I/AAAAAAAAAiU/yKQdrv-1tbQ/s320/wedding%2B005.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I used an antique white for the base, and a periwinkle color, and combined a cranberry and white to get my other shades of purple. Mixed a few colors to get the green, and voila! oh, and of course I added some ribbon. (It's the scrapbooker in me *tee-hee*)<br />
<br />
<br />
I think I have 6 more of these big ones, and about 10 small bird houses. For show I put in a tealight, but we actually have battery powered votives for these that are really neat looking. I have no intentions of lighting a candle inside a piece of wood. ;)<br />

For some reason they have been really super cute to me lately. Alas, I do not own a gypsy, and can't purchase one. :( BUT I made a few shaped cards using my NESTIES! and I LOVE the way they came out!!<br />

So the cards came out adorable!! The matryoshka dolls are from a Hero arts stamp set, and they were embossed with marcacite embossing powder before being colored with bic markers. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Ae2hpxqaMI/TY0rFVg-L9I/AAAAAAAAAiE/-rIJl24oYZ8/s1600/blog1%2B005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="214" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Ae2hpxqaMI/TY0rFVg-L9I/AAAAAAAAAiE/-rIJl24oYZ8/s320/blog1%2B005.JPG" /></a></div><br />
This was a project for work, everyone decorates their team areas, and we happen to be the Thundercats, so one of these says "Thundercats", and one say "welcome to the lair". :) They were a big hit with my team, but I couldn't get a great picture of them. <br />

It's been a long time since I sat down to make something with my cricut that wasn't wedding related, and being out of practice can get frustrating!! I could not believe how much I had forgotten about how the functions worked!! >.<<div>
<br /><div>
<br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8dd80JlvA1w/TYlRcNFb8YI/AAAAAAAAAhc/t_iZ00mt7Q4/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8dd80JlvA1w/TYlRcNFb8YI/AAAAAAAAAhc/t_iZ00mt7Q4/s320/001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587086357720461698" /></a>This card was made using the country life cartridge for a 3" strawberry, the largest scalloped oval nestie I had, and the sentiment "happy birthday" was from a studio G stamp. The strawberry paper is from the berry sweet collection from K and Company. It's hard to see but the paper is embossed with the "happy birthday" embossing folder. I used my favorite white gelly roll pen for accent. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>Also, I didn't take a picture of it but on the inside the card reads " Hope it's BERRY special" with a stamp that I created. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>It was all REALLY simple, just the way I like it, and hopefully I will be back into the groove of things and post something more frequently. :)</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Also, I still have that 6x12 cricut mat that is unused if anyone would like it!</div><div>

I found one 6X12 cricut mat, and I have no idea why I have it as I have NEVER owned a cricut personal cutter, and why there is only one in the package, however, if you would like it, I will happily mail it to you for free. Just let me know.<br /><br />lovemusicdesings at yahoo dot comLoveMusichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833434366453738765noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713723923195909455.post-42609109803787816002011-03-21T21:54:00.001-04:002011-03-21T22:30:37.914-04:00organization IS key!!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><u><br /></u></span></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-USlQj7egeIY/TYgF0TLekuI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/CLTJ8BllpmI/s1600/239.JPG"></a><div>I love this weather!!
