my hair stylist

Have you met my hair stylist? oh you must...you just must!

She has great style and knows all the latest gossip.

Pillows

I finally got around to making some couch pillows. 

I bought this delicious fabric back in October at Gardners village.

So I guess you could say it took me a while.  Not the actual making of the pillows,  just sitting down to do it.   I'm pretty happy with the results considering I usually had a child or 2 on or near my lap.

I heart my little helpers.

my favorite VandCo had this twine ball tutorial a while back and I finally gave it a try.

Don't look too close at the orange one Mr. linc thought the styrofom was edible....which it's not.

A very special shout out to Grandma Lois & Jerry for letting me borrow their camera during my endeavor of finding a new one.

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

another refashion

                   Ya I know, I'm on a roll.
This time I remembered to take a before picture.

MY WAL-MART SHIRT- although cute, I'm just not a fan right now of shirts that resemble a maternity shirt.  I've spent way to long in those.

besides can't you already see the easy potential for a wee dress?

I basically just layed a dress over the top for a pattern and cut accordingly. I also took in the sleeves so they weren't so poofy & cut the neck pretty much down to nothing.  If there's two things this kid hates is anything on her neck and Tags.  We cut alot of tags off around here.

I also added a fabric rose, you can't really see it in the pictures.

Oh & if you're wondering what is that beautiful blue floral something showing on her shoulder's...that would be her bikini.  Yes this girl rocks the runway.

10 dollar parking ##**!!*

Ryan and I were privileged enough to see a long overdue Jazz game. (thanks Chad & Lisa!)

Can you believe it had been 12 years since my last Jazz came.  If my memory is not mistaken parking was $4.00 back it those good ol days. $10.00 now!!! what in the world. $10 stinken dollars to park a car for 2 hours. 

What choice does one have? there's $10-$12 or $20 dollar parking or for the people who live on the edge there's $4.00 parking down the long dark ally next to the cardboard boxes and grocery carts...I'm not gonna lie we were tempted.

Our seats were awesome, rice bowls delicious & a nice relaxing time with my dearest ahhhh so nice.

Go Jazz Go!

hair today, gone tomorrow

Drumroll please..........

Canyons been asking me for weeks for a hair cut. I hoped thought she was kidding.

I'd ask "how short do you want it?" she'd hold up her thumb and pointer finger and say "this much" as in short like Porter's & Linc's.

I talked her into cutting it to her shoulders like her friend Amylia's.  She was happy with that idea.

I asked Alison when she could cut it and she said, how bout now. 
Canyon was so excited & she was such a big girl she just stood there the whole time serious faced and all.

I loved all her long curls, but man oh man my mornings were getting rediculous. Canyon only wanted hot water in the spray bottle, pink comb only, if it hurt she'd rub her hair...all of her hair & I'd have to start over.  I've tried so many curl & detangler products I lost count.  Hopefully this will be a little easier to work with.
can you see my fingers are crossed?

I don't know if she still has any curl left, Alison straightened it to make sure she got all the straglers.  I guess we'll see with tomorrows bath.
