Baby Belly

Check out this momma's 14 week belly!

So very excited...we made it past the first trimester!  Grow little piggie grow!

So Proud of Our New Family Photo! :)

Love For Jackie

I planted these babies just for Jacks cause I miss her and I wanted to fall in love with something that she already does!

 The ever awe inspiring Daffodil!  This cutie is a twist on the classic as it is white with yellow middles!

Glass Class 2

A couple of weeks ago, my friends Leah and Diane and I challenged our creativity with another day of glass!  In three hours I ended up with two more sets of stir sticks, a beautiful smokey heart shaped dish (which will be a wedding gift for one of my close friend's this fall. Obviously she does not subscribe to my blog!), and my ladybug fruit bowl which turned out even more amazing than my flower dish!!! 

The Last Two Weeks

These last two weeks have gone by super slow and super fast all at the same time!  So strange how that is possible.  Last weekend a longtime friend of mine had her wedding social and I was asked two make two cheesecakes for the silent auction.  Of course, this being a big public event (it was sold out!) I really needed to outdo myself and boy did I ever.  I am actually jealous of the guy who won these beauties cause they looked soooooo yummy!

Strawberries & Champagne Cheesecake

Salted Caramel Cheesecake

Side note....check out this plant that my friend Leah gave me a clipping of....the flowers look like dolphins!

Last week was the junior high's musical, Aladdin.  I cannot believe that those kids were willing to do a musical!  They did AMAZING!!  Claudia was one of the guards...it was the first play she's ever participated in...so proud!

The costumes were too cool...I think the bird and the genie were my favorite costumes!  The townspeople were wearing torn up sheers (good old MCC!) and their mom's silky pj bottoms.  :)

Glass Fusion

I did something super crafty and super dangerous and took a glass class!  I learned how to cut and break glass...yikes that was scary at first...but the multitudes of swirly colourful options of glass and the ability to make whatever my heart so desired (as long as I could afford it) erased that fear and I was snapping glass like a pro within hours!  Here's what my heart came up with in a matter of hours... 

  

 Swizzle Sticks

 Leaf Shaped Dish

 soon to be Necklace Pendants (I have yet to attach the hook part)

 I had leftover glass and just threw it into a star shape to either be a Necklace Pendant or a Decor Item

The Picture Frame was my very first project...not bad, eh!

And the piece de resistance....

My Flower Dish

It turned out amazingly...I am patting myself on the back as we speak! 

Loves it!!!!

I am definitely going back for more...of course I will show off my new pieces as they happen!  Stay tuned.

Feeling Crafty

I've been feeling crafty lately and have four projects on the go....Here's one that I am half done...It's my happy sunshine quilt!  I have only to apply the batting and backing material...Thank you Walmart for the amazing fabric jelly rolls (pretty much the only quilting material store here!).
