fof & week in hair

sorry i've been so absent, it's been super busy again at work, it's budget time so everyone is scrambling to get all that done.  have lots to show you so here we go.

fos for the week

the first 3 hats were a special order referred from a friend they turned out so super cute, can't wait to see what they look like on the cuties.

this is the daughter's hat

this is the neice's hat, it has a little bill on it, i definitely need to make more!

this is the momma hat :)

this set of two hats is a request from a friend for a baby shower


love the brown/ivory flower with the pink hat



cute little ivory bear hat with a hot pink sparkle flower with blue button center

here they are together, aren't they just adorable?!?!?

week in hair

monday was the only day q wanted something other than a headband

tuesday

wednesday, hopper told me, "i look so cute!"  yes, my little pumpkin, you sure are!

thursday, look at that crazy face on hopp!  :o)

friday

math game fun night, last night q's school had a little family fun night but i just took her so it could be me & her time.  she loved it but i do have to say that some of it was far too advanced for a little kindergartener but she tried really hard on what she didn't know.  i was so proud of her.

this was the penny flip game where you count how many times it lands on heads & how many time on tails.  she flipped 10 pennies & got even numbered heads/tails.

this was not easy, even for me!  you put the shapes in the main shape to make whatever animal.  with of help from the instructor she got it done.  :)

this was math war, you flip a card over & add the two, whoever guesses the right # first gets the cards.  let me just say this boy was a GREAT sport!  he was so patient & sweet & waited for her to get the #s added up.  he gave her a few of them.  :o)

this was the computer math station.  she was having a blast & so we jotted down the addresses, if you would like the free math game web sites let me know, i will give them to you.  i think this was her fave one.

banana shorts!  ok a little back story.  we do an annual presentation every year where they try to get new clients to sign up for an annual contract for tv commercial sales.  our manager was saying you need to work on your database for clients you want to invite this weekend, blah blah blah, & then he says, "even if you need to put on your banana shorts at home" we lost it, that was about 2-3 yrs ago!  we have been trying to find banana boxers or some type of banana shorts then i thought of this idea, duh!!!  so we got "banana shorts" a birthday cake....

how freakin' hilarious is that!!!!

i was a bit of a loss as to what was wrong with the lady that i ordered the cake from.  when i told her what i wanted (over the phone) & was giggling about it, she never once laughed or anything!  i couldn't figure out why she had no sense of humor, how could someone ask for banana shorts & you not even crack a grin, you can hear that in someone's voice on the phone!  anywho, i hope you all have a great weekend & don't forget to head to tami's amis for all the great finished stuffs.  :)

hair and my fo for the week

here is my fo for this friday, it's the baby owl hat i've been working on for that sweet new baby that's coming in this world today or tomorrow.  i hope jennie has a smooth & easy labor.  :)

sooooo cute!  can't wait to see it on the little cutie!

here is the hair for the week, i bought new headbands this weekend so that means lots of headbands.  i promise i keep asking if they want something else & they mostly say headband. 

monday, love that popeye look on hopp!  :) 

tuesday, i had 2 pics & one was looking at me the other was looking away & in each one it was a different kid looking at me, since i don't have a lot of hopp looking at me i chose this one.  :)  that look is of longing thoughts huh? 

wednesday, hopp was not in the mood so it's just cutie q posing for me  :o)

thursday, i love the high pony look with a bow, she specifically told me to do it high.  :)

friday, not much new but they are still so cute!!!  :)

happy friday/fof everyone, i'm needing this weekend so bad!  i feel so ragged but almost in a good way.  :)  i hope you all have a great weekend & will see you on monday unless i think about posting this weekend but i got lots of stuff to finish for the craft booth in a couple of weeks so i'm thinking i won't be posting sooner than monday.  head on over to tami's amis for all the beautiful fos.

thank you thursday

it's not like the posts you see on fb where you post your thankfulness daily, nope not it at all!  today q will be delivering her fundraiser stuff with a handwritten thank you note.  :o)  she doesn't know how to read or write words yet but what i did was write out the little note & she copied it in her own handwriting.  :)  we didn't have many to write so it wasn't so daunting on her but it was enough that i think she can write & recognize these words now: thank - you - for - your - order 

i took pics of her doing the notes

i wrote the note on the napkin & here she is with some already done & one in progress

here are 3 of them

last one!  all finished!!  :)

 they said, "Thank you for your order!  <3 Qeylee"  i had her draw a heart on the paper  :)



now on to something i have really started liking, chevrons.  they are so pretty, never thought of them before but i see them on pinterest all the time & they are in all different colors & variations.  this was outside an interior design business that is in the place as the coffee shop we do chat 'n craft nights.  it has 3 pumpkins stacked on top of it, it's such a cute fall decoration!  the top pumpkin is really weird, it's half green gourd half pumpkin, i know a pumpkin is a gourd too but the top is not a pumpkin shape or color.  it's very neat, i always like all the weird shaped pumpkins.  :o)

love this!!  i'm going to pin it too.  :)

this is for one of the wips i'm working on & i hope to have it as an fo tomorrow.  question is i like both eyes but can't decide which to use.  do you like the open eyes or the sleepy eyes?  it's for a new baby boy that's being born tomorrow or saturday, she is getting induced tomorrow evening.  :)  so exciting. 

open or sleepy?

i hope everyone is having a great day!  tomorrow is friday, doing the happy dance.  :)

OH & DON'T FORGET! IF YOU COMMENT ON MY POSTS, CHECK THE BOX THAT SAYS EMAIL FOLLOW-UPS, I ALWAYS TRY TO COMMENT BACK IF YOU COMMENT.  :o)

i have wips but...

no crochet wips to show you today because i'm working on stuff for friends that read my blog, i'm not showing them yet.  i guess i will call my business cards my wips for now.  i found another business card i'm thinking about.  i found it by searching button & this cutie came up, i'm worried about it being too busy & not being able to REALLY see my info without being too distracted by the art too much.  so i worked with their system & this is what i came up with....

#1 the new choice

 #2 is the fave among the last set

i wish that i could order a combo pack of the two because i love both of them sooooo much.  some of you have already seen these so i know you vote but if you haven't let me know which you prefer, #1 cutesy or #2 simple & sweet.

this is all i got for the day, head on over to tami's amis & check out all the neat wips in progress.  :o)

ugh, the choices!!!

since i'm doing the craft fair next month i better get me some business cards.  i ordered some stuff through vistaprint once & they are having a special on business cards so i'm going to order through them.  so i need help with some choices.

#1

i like it but is it too busy?

#2

i love this one because it's all black & the white text really stands out & i love buttons.  :)

 #3

i really like this one because there are 3 lollipops, i have a thing for 3's, 3 girls, 3 S's on my crochet fb/etsy page but i think people will think of sweets & not sweet crochet stuff

i was disappointed only because they have one with yarn but it's KNITTING!!!  so prejudice!!!  ;)  which ones do you like or do you have any other suggestions?  they have a ton of designs & really good prices.  :)

i changed my comments to the pop-up box so i'm hoping more of you can comment on my posts.  let me know if you still can't comment.

fof & week in hair

only one fo today, i'm making a friend some washcloths for their friend's new baby as a shower gift.  does that make sense?  ;)  sorry i missed you guys on wip wednesday, i forgot to take some pics & so i didn't have anything to post...

one washcloth a day.  :o)  she is having a girl so i made them all in girly colors.

 so for the week in hair, it's not anything new or fancy & i always ask but this is how they like it.  if i don't do something new, i may just have to change fridays to week in clothes or something that

monday, as you can see everyone is excited for halloween!  :)

tuesday, i love big bows on little girls.  :)

thursday, no pic for wednesday but it was pretty much the same as the days before.  look at the face on hopp!  ;)

friday, all our headbands are broke so they got the same style today, gotta love the bows!  :)  guess i need to get the girls some new headbands, hopp those them!!! 

i don't know if i told you guys but i'm officially going to do my first craft show!  i'm sharing a booth with a friend & we are going to get together tomorrow & do a mock set up in her garage since we are craft show virgins!  if it was just me, my booth would be hella' boring & i would maybe not get visitors.  thanks to christine for all these wonderful cute ideas!!!    :o)  i'm a little stressed because after i made the commitment with christine i got 6 hat orders!!!  this is awesome but i'm a little nervous about having enough stuff at my booth for purchasing.  i will do custom orders but i know that people like to get their hands on their purchases as soon as possible.  anywho, i hope you all have a great weekend & get lots of rest with that extra hour of sleep on sunday if you participate in daylight savings.  :) 

oh and if you are wondering i haven't gotten anymore done on my crochet-along.  :(  i really should have buckled down & got that thing done.  oh well, i will finish it just don't know when exactly....

as always head on over to tami's amis & check all the neat finished items. 

halloween stuffs

saturday we went to a friend's house & had a great pumpkin party, it was a lot of fun.  we ate snacks & the kids watched charlie brown's great pumpkin (well sort of, it was more like throwing popcorn around & running around the popcorn)  :o) and when it was over they played & then we did a pumpkin craft.  it was loads of fun & each kiddo got to make 2-3 pumpkins decorated just how they wanted. 

q working on her pumpkins

hopp's pumpkins, i guided just a little bit but she did pretty much all of it.  :)

thanks to pinterest, i have found new ways to do my nails.  i should have used tape so that they would have been more uniform with the glitter polish, but i think it turned out pretty good for my first time.   they aren't black though, they are a deep purple.  i did this on sunday morning while all the girls were gone.


then we went trick-or-treating last night.  we haven't hit up any festivals yet just because they are both so little & they are super busy & i get really worried about big kids pushing (without knowing).  well we did the school thing but it's not as busy as some of the church festivals in town.

here are the butterflies, they were tired, didn't really want to pose, as you can see they aren't really looking at me...

my mil did their makeup & had the wings.  they were so excited & had lots of fun.

wings...

we went to a friends work that had a couple of games & a bouncy castle & then some candy & goodies first.  we then went to a co-workers house & they did a big production with a haunted house in their garage.  was really fun but no one scared us because they were little.  they had this guy in a box, he was really creepy & he moved & that frightened hopp but since i was with her i was able to keep her going.  :)  we then walked down their street & then came home & walked our sad neighborhood.  hardly anyone participates in our hood, i think because a good majority are older people.  but it was perfect for us & then we came home & turned our light on & handed out candy out of the huge bag of candy i bought at sam's yesterday.  it was a perfect night!

i hope everyone had a great halloween as well.  see you tomorrow with my wips.  :o)

fof, wk in hair & something really GROSS!!!

i finished that black beanie & it's nothing special & i forgot to take a pic but it's DONE!!!  i actually undid the whole entire thing & re-worked it.  it was frustrating me beyond belief so it was just easier to redo it.

then here is the actual hk-ish hat i made for little lilli, it's her bday present so she won't get it until december but she will never see it on here.  :)  the ears are not exactly what i wanted so if you have a good kitty ear pattern let me know, q wants to be a cat for halloween & i may just make her ears.  :)

i love it so but i hated making it!!  it has long braided red ties :)

so for the week in hair...

monday, hopp was not happy to look at me but i got her anyway. 
after the pic was taken she was happy & got in the car...

tuesday, it is red ribbon week & we didn't have any camo for monday but we had cowboy boots for western day.  :)

wednesday, was red day & unfortunately i got called from the school stating q was throwing up at school so she didn't get to stay all day.  she is all good now.  :)  stupid stomach virus!!

thursday, was fave team day, didn't have a team shirt but i let her wear her old soccer shirt with a big #7 on the back, she was super excited.  sorry about pics so dark, it was sprinkling & dark & i had to take the pics with them in the car.

friday, school spirit day, she wore her overly huge bonham shirt with these silver lamé leggings.  it was so cute! 

something gross, i would say, view at your own discretion but i know most of you are mommys & if you haven't seen anything like this yet... you WILL!!!  :)  it was new dr day!  long story short, old dr has been blowing my concerns off for a while & i've had enough!  i love the new dr!   as i was talking to the young man about the girls & what is going on with them & why we were there, q put her arm around hopp & i noticed something weird about her finger.  i looked at it & FREAKED out!!!  i haven't seen it at all until this am!!!  i alerted the guy that we need to look at her finger, i knew what was going to happen, she heard me talk about it after i called jason when he left the room & she got really upset.  i have been telling her to quit biting her fingernails because she was going to get an infection & guess what?!?  mom is right once AGAIN!!!  i think she has learned a lesson so if you have a nail biter you may want to show the 2 pics below & then tell them that they poke it with a needle to drain & they have to painfully squeeeeeeeze all that gunk out!!!!  she said she won't bite her nails anymore, we will see....

from the side, this is what i caught a glimpse of

this is what i freaked about when i really looked at it!  yep, she had 2! yes 2 different shades of green under the skin!!!  it was so swollen & pink/red. 

i asked if it hurt & barely touched the pink part & she said no but then the dr asked her if it hurt & touched the infected part & she started crying.  i don't know what it looks like now, i had to unfortunately hold her legs down as the nurse held her body down & then the dr poked & squeezed.  she put ointment & a band-aid on it & i never got to see all the gross stuff or the wound after cleaned.  i kinda wish i could have, all that weird, nasty stuff is a little intriguing to me.  i know it's gross but as long as it's not on me, i don't mind watching, just don't ask me to watch a nose plastic surgery!!!  ;)

i hope everyone has a great weekend!  happy halloween see you soon.  :o)  don't forget to head over to tami's amis for other fos.
