Damn those little houses for making me obsess!
Funny how you can walk right by something and it never catch your eye and then one day shit that's sweet. You find yourself day dreaming and you can't seem to shake it's sweet images from your mind. What can you do at that point? You must conceed! For me this week it's those little cute ass paper houses. You know the ones, the Christmas Villages from the past. They were sold in dime-stores in the 40's, 50's and 60's under the name Putz Houses. These sweet morsels are covered in delicious mind melting shiny glitter so that your eye is weak in their presence. You know where I am going with this don't you? That's right bitches we must cave into this whim and make the damn Village. Why would I make the delectable eye candy and not just buy them? Because bitches these little beauties can't be bought unless you go on ebay and pay out the ass for them.
So here is the plan I have so brilliantly come up with. I purchased a few large sheets of cardstock, chipboard, some glitter, a dab of acrylic paint, the ever popular bottle brush trees and went online. I got various templates from around the web searching under Putz houses. One site being littleglitterhouses.com proved to be a goldmine for templates. So I got all the crap to make the little morsels now on to the making. I want a cool ten to twelve of these bad boys to adorn my armoire this season. In order to crank out the amount I am hoping for I will have to stay on task. I will update you on how my sorry ass got along. Until then go get yourself some, you know you want to!

Well, slap me in the face with a pair of Ovaries!
Not very often do people take me by surprise but today that very thing happened. Just when I think people are all the same. I was sure we are all making the same things, striving for that perfect stitch on the Hexagon, you know what I'm talking about, then this light comes on and I see something so cool I have to share it. I was looking something up online today. It had to do with the "Two Bitches" theme and this blog popped out of nowhere and slapped me in the face with a pair of ovaries.
What am I to say but crack on sister, crack on!

Taylor's 15th Birthday
Wishing my beautiful neice Taylor a Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoy your gifts.
Sunday Projects & Sport Shopping! Nov 3, 09
Sunday started off somewhat normal for a day right after a holiday. We did what we always do on days like this, SPORT SHOPPING! You heard me right, ladies lined up in front of Target before opening just waiting for that clock to hit 8 am. Doors swing open and were off running towards the Halloween section as if it was the holy-grail. It's amazingly fun to do this actually and Kristen & I have somewhat perfected our routine. We got quite a few very nice deals. I was proud on how well we played.
The sport was to continue at the local fabric and craft store where the Holiday fabric was to be 60% off. We knew what we wanted and what project it was for. You'll have to look for our post on Kristen's Halloween table-runner when it is finished. This trip to the store caught both of us a bit off guard. We were in for more than we thought. Two hours later and a basket full of fabric and crap each we walked out not knowing what had come over us. We had been giddy with excitement and apparently insane. In my stupor I was at least smart enough to pick up the fabric for my niece Taylor's birthday gift. I'm making her Amy Butler's Gum Drop pillow, which is to die for might I add. That weekend we made three projects. We made the pillow, a hot pink purse to match and Kristen started on a kitty pillow we had found the free pattern for. Lookout for Kristen's post & review for that which includes the free pattern! Got to love free! As for the Gum Drop Pillow, it turned out great, I have to have one now. As always you can check out my full reveiw of the pattern.
