Blog Revamp

OK guys, so I bet you have noticed some new changes around here. I decided the blog needed a makeover. I revamped it all... but of course kept a a slight feel of the old within the blog walls so to speak. I didn't want it to be so drastic nobody would recognize it anymore. I hope you all like it.

Not that I haven't been working hard all along, but I need to tell you all that our little blog here needs to explode out of its shell and burst into the world a star. I will be working very hard here to make everyone happy, while posting my little heart out. This blog means a lot to me, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Spread the word... I want us to grow and grow and grow. I want to reach as many people as I can and spread the blog everywhere!

My New Years resolution is to make my blog the best it can possibly be...and I'm starting early. I am so excited. Hugs to all my loyal readers, I love you all.

Yummy Healthy Egg Breakfast

I was browsing facebook, and I get tons of great ideas by doing this, thanks to all the great people I am subscribed to. I came a across a great tutorial I had to share with all of you!

First cut bell peppers into slices, leave the pieces round. Not to thick, but not to thin. Crack an egg, and pour HALF into the middle. Add a thin slice of tomato onto in he middle on top of the egg, then pour the rest of the egg on top. Sprinkle with some freshly ground pepper. I also add a dash of adobo on top. Cook till egg is done to your liking. Serve with toast or biscuits  Very very yummy! I loved it. It is becoming a staple at my breakfast table. The whole family adores it. I hope you will to.

Florida To Pittsbugh

Well my bloggy friends, I apologize for being gone for a few days. My parents just moved in with me so I can help take care of them. It has been a hectic week. They drove from Tampa Florida to Pittsburgh Pa in a uhaul with 2 cats, 2 dogs and a parrot. It took them 4 days. It should have only took them one to one and a half days. They had some minor set backs but are now finally here and all settled in.

So now that everything is back to normal, I will be back to posting more normal. Later today I will be posting another recipe. I will be posting quite a few recipes in the next week or so. I believe the holiday season is the best time of the year to cook/bake all sorts of holiday goodies and treats. I have to share my faves with all of you. If you have any ideas or requests feel free to comment or email me. I get a lot of emails from all of  you, and it always brightens my day.

I will also be doing a give away soon, so I hope you guys get excited for that and stay tuned to further blog posts.

Have a wonderful day my friends. Talk to you all very soon!

Needlepoint Clutch Bag Project

Hi guys... a lil while ago I posted that I stated a new project. It was a Needlepoint Clutch Bag. I bought a few of the plastic canvas clutch's to work with. I plan to sell them on my Etsy store: Freak Unique Designs. I am over half way done.

This is what I bought. They work wonderful and are easy to work with. As plastic canvas goes, these were very cheap to buy off Amazon. Check them out:



Here is a  pic of the Clutch as a work in progress:    (Click to make pic larger.)

When I am done, It will have a polymer Clay designed Large Button Clasp. I am also thinking of doing some hand beading on the front around the white square. What do you think? I will post  the finished project when I am done. It will also be in my Etsy store for sale. I highly recommend buying your own to work with. The needlepoint design can be simple like mine or very complex. The project design can be up to you, but the possibilities are endless...and the clutch will be stunning when done. It is super easy and fun to work with!

Hope your all having a wonderful Holiday Season.

It def works really well and I had to share with all of you! An extra step I took was to use a clear coat base as my first step, then after the the color you choose as the tip, follow up with a second clear coat to seal the color and make it glossy.  Enjoy!

First Snow Of The Season

I awoke to the first snow of the Season. I love snow. I am from Florida, and moved up to Pittsburgh a few years ago. The changing of the Seasons, and snow still have a magic wonder to me.  I decided when I let my dogs out today I would snap a few shots to show you the very first snow of the season. It was very light snow, and its still coming down in tiny trickles...but it is the very first snow of the Season in Pittsburgh!

Clover Loves the snow!

Hope you are all having a wonderful Holiday Season! 

New Project:Shoulder Bag

Recently Purchased The Darice Spring Tension Hoop as shown below to work on some intricate bead work I'm doing on some flowers, on my current project. I'm making a cute shoulder bag, and doing the bead work without the hoop would have been almost impossible. I got a really great deal, as show below... and it just arrived today. I love it. Its small and the tension is perfect for what I am working with. Its super easy to use, as I have never needed to use one until now... but I thought it would be tricky! Guess again... super duper easy. A great purchase that will aide me in many craft projects I'm sure.



Here is the fabric I'm working with (with hoop already on) as I'm beading the stems of all the flowers with green seed beads, before I begin sewing the bag. Right here is just raw material with a few beads sewn already. Wish me luck. I'm in love with the Fabric. I found it by an ad on Craigslist. I got a huge, I mean HUGE garbage bag of all sorts of fabric all for FREE. Gotta love FREE guys! I sure do. (Sorry its a little blurry folks, I think I need a new camera very soon.)

Ill post more pics when I'm done with the projects. Perhaps a tutorial if I have some free time to do so in between.

Happy Holidays and much Love from me and mine to all of Yours!

Does Anyone Ever....

Does anyone ever have so many projects to work on, games to play, things to read, etc... and still bored and don't know what to do? I have so many things to do, but I'm still bored. I have like a million craft projects to either start, work on or finish and still don't know which to work on or do. Same with games. I'm a huge gamer, esp PC gaming. I play WOW, SecondLife, Rift, Perfect World, Rusty Hearts, etc... but when I'm bored I don't know which one to play.

My mainstay is always Monopoly on Pogo. I pay for premium membership just so I can play Monopoly without ads. I play it on average 10 times a day on and off. I hate waiting in the game room to find a game though.

Do you guys have the same problem?

I'm sitting here writing this blog out of sheer boredom.   I started dinner and its finished on simmer till my hubby dearest comes home from work. I was staring at my computer screen not knowing what to do next. Its so weird... I have so much to do yet cant decide what to do.

Any suggestions?

New Project

Hi guys, Im just having a really good week.
I started a new project... Its needlepoint clutch purse. It will also have some hand beading done on it. Its all custom and I think it will be very cute when I'm finished with it. I'm making it for sale on ETSY, however I love it so much it will be tempting to keep it for myself. Its all red, with white accents, and a red and white star. I have not chosen what will accent the front snap buttons yet... but it has to be really cute. Any ideas?

Talk to you more soon, Im off to relax after a long day of shopping @ Target, and other places. They have some good  deals at Target right now...so check em out if your looking for some clearance bargains. I'm off to play some wow and relax now. Have a wicked day friends!

10/18/12

Today was pretty uneventful for the most part. I had a dentist appointment with Dr. Jani. I had a bite to eat while I was out. In the meantime I managed to finish the needlepoint "Cross" Bookmark I have been working on. I listed it for sale on Etsy.      Check It out:  Etsy: "Cross" Bookmark.

Here is what it looks like:

I started working on a new bookmark today as well. I also got some craft supplies that I ordered off Amazon in the mail today. That means even more projects to begin soon. I love doing crafts. I bought some lovely alligator clips to make hair do-dads and such. I have all sorts of ideas dancing around in my head.

OK lovely blog readers and fans, I'm off to bed...my pillow is calling me. Take care and have a splendid day, each and everyone one of you.

Crafty

I have been thinking about a lot of things lately. Mainly how I want to start being more creative. I want to be writing more. I want my creative juices flowing and creating. I want to pull the inner beauty out and produce something wonderful with it. I have also been doing a lot of crafting lately. I think I will start doing more posts here on crafts and stuff. What do you think?

I know I go for a while posting regularly, then there are times where posts are months between. Life gets hectic and I tend to neglect blogging. I am going to make a conscious effort to not do that anymore. Even if its a short update post. Perhaps even just some random thoughts typed out for all to see.

I opened an ETSY account a while ago. I never really got around to putting anything on it for sale, until now. I have a few things up now, but I will be adding more and more. Especially since I have been getting all crafty lately.

Go ahead...Check out my store, I know you wanna ;)

Have a Super Great Day guys!!!!

9/3/12

Today was kinda just a day. Me and David went and did a little bit of grocery shopping at Giant Eagle. Mostly to catch the items they had on sale. We usually do the bulk of our grocery shopping and shopping in general at Target.

When we came home Lilly our German Shepard had rampaged through our trashcans in my office. This made me a little mad. It is what it is though, her previous owners did not train her well and she is kinda stuck in bad dog mode when we leave to go out. I think she has separation anxiety.

Other than that, I have just been tired today, ever since I woke up. Think I am calling it a very early night. Good Night Friends ;)

David's Birthday

Well today was a good day. The 2nd was David's 24th Birthday. We had a ton of fun. My best friend Meridith came over. We had pizza and cal-zone, along with cake. It was a butter yellow cake with whipped Hershey chocolate frosting. Yummmmmy.

We also had a fire outside in  the backyard fire pit. Made some super delish smores. After all the food, we all watched the  movie "Cabin in the Woods. Me and David watched it last week and loved it, so we re-watched it with Meridith. I'm pretty sure she dug it as much as we did.

Meridith got him a Manson T-Shirt, and I got him a new computer desk. He also got a new mouse today for his computer, A.K.A the Beast hehe.  I'm pretty darn sure he ha s an awesome Birthday.  As we speak he is done putting the new desk together, and is setting up all his computer hardware.

I had another great day as well. Hopefully tomorrow follows suit.

Girlyfied

Have you ever had a day that just started out well and got better and better. The kind of day that you treat yourself, and the day treats you right back as well? Today I had a girly happy day. It started when I got paid today and had plans to go shopping. That always perks a girl right up.

Then my mail came. I got a package from my parents in Florida that I had been eagerly waiting for, along with two other packages. One was speakers I had gotten FREE Online. The other was a prepaid $10 MasterCard I won from a contest online.

I used the $10 bucks to pay my Pogo.com subscription for the month! YAY!!! Then I went looking on amazon and found an awesome Owl Necklace for dirt cheap with FREE Shipping. Bought that with the free MasterCard to. I was overjoyed. To me its little things that can brighten a day. I know to most $10 is not a lot of money, but to someone who is Disabled and on a fixed income, it means a lot sometimes, especially if its FREE money!!!

Then me and hubby dearest went out for the afternoon. We shopped and ate out at our favorite local Chinese restaurant  It was quite yummy if I do say so myself. Before we ate however, I stopped in the local nail salon and got my nails done. They did a gorgeous job with my full set. I have not gotten my nails done in over two years. It makes me feel all GIRLYFIED and Giddy! I don't quite know why, but when I am pampered I surely do feel girly and nice.

When we got home my and hubby watched a few movies and now its time to call it a day. I had a wonderful day. I hope to have many, many more.

Technically since its almost 7 a.m Tuesday now....the next day, its my Husband David's 24th Birthday. Happy Birthday Baby, I LOVE YOU!!!!!

I hope you all have a marvelous day.

Back Again

Ok I neglected my blog for far to long. I have been dealing with a lot of issues lately, with me having Uterine Cancer being by far the worse. I have been depressed about it far to long, and have decided just keep on, keeping on, and all will work itself out in the end. I will have surgery soon, and they have caught it very early on, so I will be fine!

So from now on I will be posting more often. This will include my recipes of the week and all sorts of stuff in between. I do want to make my blog more personal however, so I can have a way of archiving my life easier. That being said, it wont all be just personal stuff... I promise ;)

See You Soon! Love You All!
