Later Gator

Today I saw this on Paper and Pattern's Flickr! I of course LOVE FL, and love this necklace by truche on etsy. This would be a great Christmas gift ps ;)

Now I'm off to TN kiddos! Be back real soon!

lovey feeling <3

Plastic Land has a bunch of new items, and they match my mood!

A giant LOVE for making Jello molds! Yes!

As much as I love heels, I'm a wuss, so these red flats are perfect!

For all you baking gals!

Because I collect B's! This is from Urban, they have all letters ps. Just thought I'd share all the cuteness ;)

Question:

Do any of you wonderful crafty guys and girls know if there are any craft festivals in Tennessee or on the way from Tennessee to Florida this weekend? Confusing? Sorry - I'm visiting my sister, Lauren, up in Nashville this weekend, and was curious if there's any craft festivals on the way home! And if you know of any good tattooers up there in Nashville? Let me know! 

I know there is a Hobby Lobby in Nashville - yay! What else? Any ideas?

Pretty Paper Hearts

Look at my new heart hole punch by Martha, even better it was 30% off! 

I saw this heart hole punch over on Cute 'n Boot and it reminded me of my parents.

My mom saves EVERYTHING - I inherited this trait. This trait can be considered pack-rat-ish, but it has it's good points. For example, this old Maas Brothers box has been in my mom's right hand top drawer as long as I can remember with all the card and notes my dad has given her. 

This box is full of tiny pink and white paper hearts my dad hole punched out for her 28 years ago. 28 years!! They both worked at the local newspaper here in Tampa, and during a down time at work my dad made these for my mom, and she's kept them all these years. 

Pretty sweet huh? 

Paper heart=LOVE

fingers crossed

I haven't felt very crafty lately. Hopefully I get a burst of energy this weekend, and fingers crossed I'm not getting sick- er. 

Here is my 2nd Fall Colored Giant Granny Square so far. 

I love love love crocheting! I'm using the "I love this yarn" yarn brand and I do, I love it! First - it comes in extra large rolls, second - it's super soft! Only problem, I got it at Hobby Lobby and that's not one close by, so who else sells this yarn? Anyone know?

Once I really get a handle on this square business I'm going to try new patterns! 

Here is the last project I worked on for the Cupcake Queen herself, Jessy!

I made her a pillow from my favorite designer's fabrics, Anna Maria Horner. I hand sewed the hexagons and machine quilted the pillow!

Then in the middle hexagon I did some free hand embroidering! 

I'm wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and a crafty one too, if that's what you do!
