Weekend Updates!

It was another busy weekend in this neck of the woods. Friday night was my twin sons' and my nephew's birthday party. They were born almost exactly a year apart, so we do all three birthday parties the same day. :) I made them a train cake, it turned out really cute!



There's some close-up pic of the cake in my Cool Cakes & Cupcakes set on Flickr. I love the way the engine turned out. :)

I also did another yard sale this weekend. This time however, I forgot to use sunscreen and now my nose and the tops of my ears are soar. :( But we sold more stuff this weekend, so it wasn't a total loss. :)

Best of all, I finally finished the Ravenclaw ornament! :D

Harry Potter Ravenclaw Shield Hand Embroidered Felt Ornament

You can see how I made in my In Progress Photos set. I'm thinking about doing the Hogwarts Shield as well, but I think it might be too detailed to do in felt. Maybe I'll try it clay. Hmmm...something to think about. :)

That's it for the moment. Hope you all had a great weekend and a Happy Father's Day! :)

Busy Weekend!

Man am I beat! Saturday we had a yard sale to clear out the last of the big stuff that we have no room for in our new house. While we did get rid of a lot, we still have a lot of big stuff left. So we are going to try again this weekend. Yay. Sunday wasn't too bad, but I was so tired from Saturday, that I have a backlog of stuff to do today. :P I did get some sewing done though. I finished outlining the lettering on my Ravenclaw ornament and started filling in the letters. Here's the last pic I took.



I was going to take a pic of this weekend's progress today, but it's cloudy out. :P If you're interested you can check out my In Process picture set on Flickr, to see how I've made all my Harry Potter ornaments so far! :) Umm...what else...

Oh I added a couple more things to my destash shop (SpringToDecember), and a vintage Smurf pin to my main shop!

I know I did more stuff, but my brain can't think of anything else right now, so I guess I will see you tomorrow!

Have a great day! :)

Nice Relaxing Weekend :)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was nice and relaxing, and I actually got quite a bit done too! I finally got around to fixing the pictures from my "little" brothers' graduation. Here they are after they both walked. :)



They both graduated Summa Cum Laude with Honors Concentrations! Alex (on the left) got a degree in Accounting and Tony ([DigitalMushroom] on the right) got a degree in Art with minors in Advertising and Art History. Identical twins, but very different. :) If you know anyone in the New Jersey area looking for fantastic workers in either Advertising/Illustration or Accounting let me know! They are both available for hire! :)

I also did a LOT of work on my Ravenclaw ornament! I think it's turning out pretty well. :)



I got the raven attached. The wings were REALLY hard! I'm going to back the whole thing with black when I'm done, so I'm hoping that will give them a little more strength, but we'll see. The banner turned out nice. But I have a LOT of embroidering to do yet! More updates soon!

What else? Oh! Tony (DigitalMushroom) Made a really cool video game treasury in Treasury East this weekend! Check it out!

No school, like the old school!

That's pretty much it for the moment. I'm actually planning on working on some clay sometime this week. So maybe I'll have some more pieces to post towards Friday. :) Hope you all have a great week! See you tomorrow with a beautiful blue mini treasury! Bye! :)
