~Inspire me Martha Stewart!~

So a couple weeks ago my sweet husband and I, had date night.  We watched the cutest show, Julia and Julia.  It was this fantastic movie about this lady named, Julia.  She was an average girl, who blogged her experience with going threw Julia's cookbook.  Julia was her idol!  Well it got me thinking...  I adore Martha Stewart!  Her crafting is amazing!   Who knows maybe, Martha might read my blog!  Wouldn't that be exciting!  Maybe, I will get a Martha stamp on my blog!  My ultimate dream is to get the chance to go to her show!  Okay... Im Dreaming!  Lol!  ;o)

Anyways....

Well...  I went out and bought the book, "Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts",  An a-z guide with detailed instructions and endless inspiration!   So guess what?   I am going to go threw her book, and post how the projects come out.  I am still going to incorporate my own crafts, on my blog....  So dont worry!

"Martha and Chrissy"  Lol! 

One step closer to be crowned a Martha Princess!  ;o)

Many blessings to all!

~Glitter and Tutu's~


I am so sorry, I haven't posted lately!!! The girls and I, have been Sickly Sue's... We are all doing so much better now! Ruby Roo is still getting over it though..

Anyways, on with the post!!! ;o)

My 3 girls are BFFs, with the sweetest little girl named Sophie.  Sophie was having a birthday comming up. So I made her 2 fun, Tu Tu's! I got the fantastic idea from Samsters Mommy, and Martha!  Both super fantastic blogs you all need to check out.
One was pink with pom pom's! The other was purple with glitter hearts! I figured the glittered heart one could be Valentines Day themed...

The girls and I got glitter literally everywhere.  I glued, they spread the glitter.  It was too much fun!  :)  I am sure my husband is loving the Martha Stuart Glitter pack, he got me!  Lol!  I know the girls and I love it!  For some reason the glitter is so hard to get out of my girls hair.  It sticks to there scalp, no matter how many times I scrub the shampoo in... :)

Ruby was my model for the tutu's.  I reminded her many times, that Mommy was making the tutu's for Sophie..  Ruby was totally fine with that.  I told her I would make her one soon.  It was pretty cute though. She kept saying, "Mommy, I a ballerina!"  She twirled and danced, it was so gosh darn cute!

The glitter hearts bounced around and didn't stay in one place...
Photobucket Maybe having one side sticker tacky, might have been a good idea. That way I could have placed all the glitter hearts, where I wanted them to stay... It still turned out pretty darn cute, though!

Ruby made sure she told everyone at Sophie's birthday that, " My Mommy made this!" She went from person to person.  It was the sweetest thing!  Ruby was so proud of her Mommy!

I cant leave out my other 2..  Lydia and Gracie loved them!  I let them try it on too!  Surprisingly it fit all 3 of them perfect!  Gracie wanted me to take her picture on her horse...  She loves this horse so much...  She askes me literally every night, if she can sleep on her horse!  Lol!

Those tutu's were too much fun!  I think the next one, Ill try doing a couple layers of the tulle.  More pockets to put fun stuff in.  I have so many idea's, for the theme's!  A garden theme, Easter theme, Oh and a Pink Victoria Secret dog theme!  I have gotten a request for an adult size one too!!!  I love it!!!  Tutu's are sooo much fun!

~Happy New Years~ A New Year!

  Christmas was so magical for my girls this year!  Last year was an extremely hard, year for us.  Short summery.. ( 2 jaw surgeries that my insurance company said, was medically necessary, but wouldn't pay for)   2 surgeries 3 months apart..

My 2nd surgery was on December 17th.  So it was a very stressful time, finacially, medically and mentally.  My husband had the weight of the world on his hands...  Sick wife, 3 beautiful girls, and working any overtime shift available.  We were staying at my parents house, during Christmas last year.  My mom bought my girls gifts, and signed it from my husband and I.  She even made Santa Clause come.  Between my Mom, Sisters, and Niece, that watched our girls...  My Mom and Dad, held our hands threw this very rough time.  I know without a doubt their unconditional love!   I am forever grateful for them!  A big thank you goes out to my super, sweet, friend Shelley.  I shouldn't call her a friend, she is more like a sister!  The brothers and Sisters of the fire dept!  When they say the fire dept is a brotherhood, and a big family, they couldnt be more right!   Plus all the people that helped us cope and get threw that difficult time. 

It is mostly behind us now!  My girls have there mommy back, my husband has his wife back and that is all that counts!  Im not 100%, but I strive everyday to be.  Im getting a work out routine down!  Im having fun with my girls and husband!  I am getting the old me, Back!!!  It is such an amazing feeling!  I am so excited to put this year behind us!   I want this next year to be filled with Fun, Love, Laughter, and whole bunch of Happiness!
