Googley Eyes!

As you may know, my friend Katherine and I have a longstanding joke about Googley eyes.

It all started in the Summer of 2003 when Kat made me a lovely picture frame out of popcicle sticks and googley eyes that melted in the back window of my car forever leaving hot glue and googley eyes behind.

A few years later, I moved to Seattle and started making my own art projects for her, so that she will never forget the Great Google Incident of 2003.

Really, it's just been fun coming up with new and creative ways to impress cat with my Googley Eye Skills.

This year for Christmas, in collaboration with her husband and mine - she received a very special Vest.

And, I didn't think I'd ever top the vest because it was Tim's original idea, and we pulled it together so nicely, but alas, I did not stop the search, I found myself on Pinterest... and landed on this idea...
Now, I knew I had to be sneaky, because Kat and I run about the same hours and I didn't want her to catch me in the act. So I texted Tim and sent him a picture of the idea and asked him if I could do this the next time Kat was out of town. His response was a resounding YES - but also, that they were leaving for a weekend trip to Treasure Island, and that I could do it any time before Tuesday evening.

So, Monday evening, I armed myself with Hot Glue and my container of eyes, and headed to their house with Eric.
And I managed to "eye" every single condiment, and some major foods in their fridge.

Kat thought it was hillarious... I am pretty proud of the results... it makes me smile!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
