Now 2 Years Later...

This is what these poor mama's looked like two years ago...

...and this is the result today.  Dawson turned 2 on Sept 18 and William turned 2 on the 21st. 

 

 

Their personalities have blossomed and they are both so stinkin' cute to be around.  Everything is an adventure for them,  new things to learn and get into.  Oh yes, they are definitely on their way!!!

I Finally Got To Meet The Great Saimi

Hubby and I took a little day trip across the mountains to Yakima, WA on Saturday and I had the opportunity to meet up with a wonderful friend I have met through blogging.  Her name is Saimi (pronounced Sigh-Me).  She is simply one of the nicest people I have ever met, just from her blog I knew she was an awesome person but to meet her in person was such a blessing and confirmed what a sweetheart she truly is.  It felt like we were friends from way back.  That is her on the right, we are holding the witches shoes craft that I had made and posted about here on my blog a couple of weeks age. She had indicated in the comments section of my blog that she would be interested in purchasing the shoes and being as I knew we would be making a trip her way I thought it would be a wonderful time to finally meet her.  She also sent us on our way with a box of THE BEST PEACHES I HAVE EVER EATEN!   Thanks Saimi, I look forward to meeting up again soon.

Witches Hats

These hats are being added to the craft bazaar inventory.

 

 

 

Below are the supplies I used making these hats.  The paper mache` itches hats were bought at Michael's for $2.99 along with the black feather boa and the sparkling spiders.  The rest of the supplies I had on hand.

Here is the steps I took:
1. Painted the hats with acrylic paint
2. Glued the boa around the base.
3. Sprayed the overall hat with a glitter spray. (HINT: Spray the hat before gluing down the boa, it wilts a little with the spray.)
4.  Made the roses from wired ribbon then added some wire that I wrapped around a pencil to get it to spiral.
5.  Finished it off by gluing the flowers and ribbon onto the brim of the hat.  I also added a black bow made from tulle on the one with the orange flower.

I am having more fun than a person ought to making these Halloween crafts.  It doesn't take much to make me happy!
