2012-02-15T20:18:00.001-05:00

Saladitos

2012-02-09T18:18:00.001-05:00

This is what we had at our bake sales in national city,ca. Oranges with saladitos in the middle sprinkled with chilli powder. Good times!

My American Apparel knock off

2012-02-04T22:14:00.001-05:00

Many people are making theses. So why not me once I get the hang of putting a zipper in I will put some on my website. Yeah let me keep on with my hand bag empire dream.

Maybe Super Bowl outfit

2012-02-04T22:07:00.001-05:00

This is my take on the outfit firm pinterest. I am going to do a tank top instead of tee shirt. Wish I had a v neck tee. I may wear this but really do not to wear my heels in the mud. See my dilemma.

My zebra hat

2012-01-19T20:06:00.001-05:00

I saw such a cute hat on pinterest. All the Zebra hats I saw were crocheted but me being me I had to be different.

Baby zebra hat

2012-01-18T23:17:00.001-05:00

I saw this hat on pinterest and had to have it. It is actually crocheted but I wanted to knit it. I need a boy hat as well not really sure about making a zebra boy hat.

New do

2012-01-16T23:54:00.001-05:00

I lucked up and got a croc flat iron for $5. So the plan was when I bought the kinky straight hair I was going to flat iron it. But I got to playing with my current wig and did a test swatch. It curled backed up when I conditioned it so to me that was a go. So there you have it. I wanted a side part anyway. Although I am not to sure how the tracks are laying I think you can see them. Love how the braids came out. Going to keep it like that and not crochet any hair on them. We will see. I was worried about my base not being braided real small. It looks ok to me. I think I need a second opinion. I will get one at work best believe.

Croc flat iron

2012-01-12T18:07:00.001-05:00

>> Let the straightening begin💃🎉

Cowl scarf vest idk real picture heavy

2012-01-09T23:07:00.001-05:00

I love it. when I twist it look how cute but because it is a circle look at the back.... I know a mess. It is super long but that did not bother me. I consider Camo to be a neutral. I saw one lady wear her Camo jacket with a white button up and pencil skirt I was going for that. It was too late to pull that together just went for the basic color. With it being circle it kind of gives you pockets. The last picture shows what I originally intended for this piece. I do say it came out nice.

Shellac

2012-01-06T22:41:00.001-05:00

Saw a place doing shells for $20. It is $26 anywhere else and I never had it before thought $20 was not bad. I will put it through the paces it is supposed to last for 14 days at least I am going for February. We will see. Went to ac Moore for more yarn for both of my scarves but they had neither.

Crochet infinity scarf or cowl

2012-01-06T14:19:00.001-05:00

It is turning out lovely. I was worried about the rippling but let that to. I am sure that happened. Because I chained with a g hook but crocheted with I hook it is a fan shape versus a circle hope it won't be odd looking. I am on row 11 going for 20 rows that should be enough. We will see.

Self timer

2012-01-05T15:30:00.001-05:00

I took this with my self timer app!

Backwards sweater

2012-01-05T15:14:00.001-05:00

I did it I really like my outfit too. I don't think I wore my clothes.backwards when Criss cross was out but know at 35 look at me.

Polka dots

2012-01-02T17:22:00.001-05:00

Got the sweater for $6 it was ten dollars with a coupon I got from the old navy snap app. The blouse was $3 I got from a thrift store.

Ok

2011-12-31T01:57:00.000-05:00

Why all of the pics? I am tired of combing my hair. So I made a wig. I was Bout to give up and do a sew in? (Pic of my base) but another look at my in progress wig I realized I was on the right track. I was so excited I had to capture as I went along. When I made a wig before I used a old half wig this time I had no guides so I was nervous I took it down once. Had the rows too close. Now I just need to tighten up my rows put a hide a track track and I am done. For my leave out I did two rows of crochet braids. Not so easy with 8 in hair. The beauty supply store also had some kinky hair two for 10 not really sure how I would rock that. You tube it.

My u part

2011-12-30T23:30:00.001-05:00

It is shaping up!

My base

2011-12-30T22:04:00.001-05:00

Took me forever but I did not give up.

Machine knitting after all this time

2011-12-29T22:42:00.001-05:00

I haven't machine knitted in a while. I want a grey scarf. Attempted three times to make one and one of those times was on the machine. Here is my fourth try second for the machine. The first machine the sponge bar is shot that is why I was having such a hard time I put up the second machine it is knitting so easy I plan to go running with this scarf. I was going to wait and get a new ball so or can be super long but not really sure I feel like it. Nah make it super long. I don't really like taking it off the machine. I have maybe two more times of taking it off the machine in me. So I am going to break for the night and start fresh tomorrow.

Long cowl

2011-12-24T22:40:00.000-05:00

This is one of my Christmas knits a grey scarf I started doing a herringbone cowl but casting 220 was too much for me do. I am doing my own thing. Basket weave and then sewing the cast on and bind off edge together. I really like the stitch the worsted yarn and 15 needles creates. But this is going to take a really long time. My next project is to finish my very way wrap.

Nail of the day

2011-12-24T12:50:00.001-05:00

Reading pinterest one lady said it took about 4 coats to get a pretty glitter polish to look right so I tried it. It only took three coats and I love it. When I bought it I thought I made a mistake. But now I am so glad and it only host 1.50. It is NYX mushroom glitter.

Long tail elf hat

2011-12-24T10:29:00.001-05:00

It came out nice I did something wrong cause it looks more sorting hat ( Harry potter) than the hat in the picture. I still like it.

My light bulb hat

2011-12-21T23:02:00.000-05:00

It came out great. I had to cut it short I only did 6 in it turned out fine. 6 in was just enough I used the rest for a Pom Pom. This hat is so soft and stretchy.

Simple pleasures hat

2011-12-19T22:44:00.001-05:00

Is hands down my favorite hat pattern. Coupled with malabrigo I. Cannot wait to get this on my head.

My oversized beanie

2011-12-17T22:38:00.001-05:00

I made three oversized. Beanies this one is for me. I am trying to use one whole ball of malabrigo so I am going to do the full 6 in for the ribbing and 7 in for the crown. I just know I don't want any left because what am I going to do with a corner of malabrigo ok maybe a baby hat a co worker does does have a grandson on the way. We will see.

2011-12-14T09:36:00.000-05:00

LOOKBOOK.nu: collective fashion consciousness. (clipped to polyvore.com)

Mini accordion book

2011-12-11T21:08:00.001-05:00

I only did three inches instead of six. People read the pattern do not go by memory.

Digital Christmas Card

2011-12-07T10:40:00.001-05:00

It doesn't have to be a Christmas card. I just saw one and decided to copy it the best way I could. But it is 5x5 ( Ritz pix print 5x5's for .22 ea every tuesday and wednesday) you can plop it into Publisher, Word or Photoshop and have a field day.. I am getting better.

Too cute

2011-12-05T23:32:00.001-05:00

Bought this skirt at goodwill it is just as cute as a dress. Don't have a black blazer so I substituted my black jacket. Just bought some black platform heels too. I may or may it put on a belt. Excuse the head scarf I was ready for bed but started playing with my birthday thrift shopping clothes.

2011-12-05T12:40:00.001-05:00

B day twist out

2011-11-28T08:31:00.001-05:00

I finally got around to doing my twists with leave in and coconut oil. They were moving an shaking when I was finished I left them in all day sat and took them out sat night but I was in a rush and did not get to fluff them like I wanted but today on my b day I like to be poppin the most on the day I came in the world. So I fluffed and fluffed might have over fluffed. But I do like or I want it chunkier.

It has walnuts so the children can't eat any. Was it wrong for me to enjoy it much cause I knew they couldn't eat any. I know if i had to ask.

Two bobby pins

2011-11-21T18:58:00.001-05:00

I have been meaning to make this beret since I found that the yarn matches the sweater I am wearing. Now that I have this quick and easy pattern that's all she wrote.

New iPhone case

2011-11-14T19:44:00.001-05:00

It doesn't really fit the space for mute button is not long enough but it is ok.

Berets

2011-11-12T13:17:00.001-05:00

Reading curly Nikki forum came across a nice crochet beret pattern. My first one came out way too big like always so I took down some rows then followed the decrease instruction and I love it making a new one to of course make sure it was not a fluke.

$4 full sequin top

2011-11-09T22:47:00.001-05:00

When I saw this in the dresses I got really excited it is a 20w first thing that came to mind is shirt dress but these thighs so I am going to probably wear some wet look leggings. Then when I got it to the register and he rang it up as a shirt I was like hot damn! I ran up out of that store. All I need are some black platform heel.

Loving my phone

2011-11-03T13:31:00.001-04:00

Just got the iPhone and I am so thankful for my husband could not have got it without him. I love adding apps and books and magazines.

Halloween was great

2011-11-01T09:47:00.000-04:00

I think I got this down. We went to Halloween fest at the mall, trunk or treat then went to our usual neighborhood and then our current neighborhood. Greedy I know. We had a ball and the baby was the funniest he would hold his bag out. At first he was scared of the scary costumes then he realized they have the candy and he stop caring. I had to put him on time out because he was sitting in the back of the car eating his candy! He could not wait to get home.

The crazy part about taking pictures. When the oldest poses so does the baby.

I feel

2011-11-01T09:14:00.000-04:00

Like a miracle worker I didthis hair style wth a half bottle of water and ten bobby pins

I have a website

2011-09-14T09:27:00.001-04:00

http://creativelychic.weebly.com/index.html
It is not fancy but it is up. I like it better than the one I created on google sites. I was over thinking it. Ladies on twitter (some of the fashion gurus I follow) take the simplest pictures and bam they have a website. I followed thier lead. Same way I take pictures of my babies dressed up (on a black faux fur blanket) I took of the knitted items. I did like my husband said take pics of the things I actually have in stock. What took me so long. So far it is free and therefore I want to upload more pics. i tiook me forever just to take pictures. I would like to style the items better but i felt like that was preventing me form putting up my website too. so i just went for it. As time goes on i will get better. Maybe even some models.

Fail

I might rock this tomorrow not really sure. Finding difficult to style my hair. Too long for styles I am used to and not long enough for styles I want. Nappy as all get out. I comb it to the front it beats me to the back. A puff is about the best I can do for now. I need to braid it up and throw a wig on. The plan is to press it next month. I have to make it through this month. I will. It is growing pretty well. Can't wait to see it pressed.

Hats

I made two hats while listening to book two of song of fire and ice. The baby is going to be ready come winter. This hat matches his winter coat. The other is blue matches a cowl I made for myself. I get much knitting done while listening to audio books.

Striped clutch

2011-05-26T16:40:00.000-04:00

The bag came out great. I love the pockets. I reall like the grey trim. And the smaller two fits my phone just right. I need a key fob for my zipper so I do not have to hunt for each time. I forgot to put interfacing in the lining it is so flimsy. I was pressed to finish it so I could wear it with my preppy look. I still have some loose threads here and there but overall I like it. I have a large black nylon crochet striped bag in the making just need one more ball of yarn. That bag with my maxi dress a braid out and black sunnies. Man o man!

Man it took me like four tries to get this zipper right but I did it stick a little but I don't care. Going to wear with my preppy look. Leon has a purple black and grey tie I cannot wait to rock this! I still need to sew up the sides but I am still going to wear it. Now to finish my other clutches for the summer. I also know I can put a zipper in my aqua bag.
