Re-beautified ballet flats

Many of you may remember the sequin slippers I used to wear all the time. You may also recall how worn down they quickly became. In fact they looked quite horrible. It was then that I started to hunt for another, more neutral, pair of ballet flats. I wanted ones that I could wear with anything and that were really comfy. I looked and looked with no success. None of the ballet flats I tryed on were cute and comfy at the same time. I returned home disaopointed and
frustrated. I had placed the sequin slippers in the "to be taken to the thrift store box" but took them out again and realized that with a bit of work I could turn the slippers I already had into the flats I wanted. I grabbed my seam ripper and ripped all the sequins off, then
I got the tweezers and tweezed all the left-over threads out. Then I grabbed the black shoe polish off the shelf and they transformed into beautiful black slippers. I love how they turned out! I really didn't expect this all to turn out as pretty as it did. I thought if they
didn't turn out, I wouldn't have spent any money at all, and therefore it couldn't hurt to try. All my work payed off and I am very happy with them. In fact, I wear them every day now!

Family Silhouettes

For Halloween we thought it would be fun to make silhouettes of all of
us. They turned out so cool that we are going to leave them up all
year!

fairy & princess overload!

My daughter can't seem to pick what she wants to be for Halloween. That's
okay because we have a few more weeks, but if I sew it she has to pick
soon! Here are her pics from a browse we took around the internet the
other day. What's your fave?

Mini acrylic portrait

This is badly lit and a little fuzzy but it will have to do. I just
love the way it looks framed!!!!! I think I have to do more little
portraits like this. the Frame shop has lots of miniature frames that
need to be filled with my art.

Tea Time, Original Gouache painting

Here is my newest painting called Tea Time. its up in the shop now. This original painting is sold but prints will be available soon.

Chloe' Re'miat

While browsing the blog lists from some of my favorite bloggers, I
came across the art of Chloe' Re'miat. I love that these pieces are
made of papier mache'...she basically makes art from
nothing! The fact that they are so beautiful is just remarkable to me!

Little girls dresses

My daughter LOVES to wear dresses. For a year she and I have argued about what she should wear to the park and in the winter. I would buy her brand new outfits with pants and she would never wear them. My time and money were being wasted. Well I say if you cant beat em' join em'! I have recently decided to embrace her choice in clothing. I found these images for patterns in a Japanese pattern book for sale on Etsy by Chocolate Swirl. I love every single one. I love the warm tights and boots one girl wears for winter. I also love the natural choice of colors and simplicity of the dresses. these inspired me to let her wear dresses all the time. I'm really excited to make the dresses she has look more like these images.

A Halloweeen-y Meal

Happy October everyone!!

My awesome mother sent me a spooky care pacage today. In it I recived black spabetti, ghost marshmallow peeps, and awesome hot chocolate mugs. Also in the package were Choxy chocolate bars (YUMMMMMMM!), and Halloween recepie cards with fun and creative ways to have Halloween themed dinners and treats! It was so cool I just had to share this with you!
