Pillow Love

Finally knocked out most of the pillow designs yesterday and got them all gathered in one spot. Super excited because most turned out better than I would have imagined.

Chair full of them-- one of each design though we are missing about 3 more that are going to be added hopefully this week!



Here is the breakdown

Keep Calm and Carry On is an old WW2 poster that looks cool on a pillow. It will come in red, dark slate, and brown.





One of my favorites is the long skinny pillow. This shows dragonflies but will also feature Fluer de lis



The ever so famous crown-- on off-white and light beige





Another favorite-- this is the soldier's creed, but it can also be exchanged with the Marine, Navy, or Air force creed.




This is a I LOVE MY SOLDIER (or marine, sailor, airman) pillow
It has a heart with wings a compass and the name of the person on it very discreetly. I wanted to make this-but for it not to be juvenile or obnoxious. I think I did it and it would look great in any home.



And last but not least, another last name established pillow that is a little bit different from the Tyler pillow


All are going up in my Swanky Graffiti Etsy shop today

Mr Steve Jobs

I am very mad at you!!!!! And I will be personally writing you a letter to tell you how disappointed I am in your product. I am not a computer guru so when one doesn't work properly nothing frustrates me more. Though you would think that a brand new one would not have the glitches that you find on one that is years old.



You see this computer? Well it was not cheap! It was purchased in June of '08 and the glitches came out in July '08--- the second my husband walked out the door. Go figure. It has sat nearly untouched until he could get home to it in Jan. '09. He even took it to Geek Squad who couldn't figure it out---- now I am pissed. What a complete waste of good hard earned money.

So Mr. Jobs---- I need a new computer and I just know you will come through for me!

Felt Love

Previously I showed my mess with all my felt-- well I have been busy creating with it and the end results will be debuted at my craft show at the end of the month.

They are felt clippies and that are all the rage in the crafting community.


I made them so they can be used on my hair all the way down to super fine baby hair without slipping off. They are super CUTE and a fun project that Jadyn and I have been doing together. We even stamped business cards to hold each clippie so the presentation of them are just darling!

Here is another project....


I found these mini chairs at a craft shop and couldn't resist them. I will be repainting them and using in Jadyn's room. I have seen similiar chairs used in home decor in some of the favorite magazines, and the price was just right.

Nightmare on Sulfur Spring Street

A couple of days ago I picked up a big job for a business here in town that is getting ready to open a new storefront. I was pretty excited when they called me and wanted me to do vinyl lettering on their car windows and storefront door. Well at least that is what I thought I was doing!
Come to find out, it involved placing vinyl all over a car and I have never done it before. I literally started freaking out about it-- had nightmares for 2 days in a row, it was all I could talk about to anyone who called and everything was working against me in order to get it done when I said I would.

But it got done and it turned out pretty nice







This may seem like a simple car to most but what most people won't realize is that it was 13 seperate pieces that I had to put together. Whew...so glad that its done!

Found some cool pics on Jadyn's camera from our vacation(the kids have a better camera than I do!)
