Oh my gosh... is this cute, or what?

I'm trying to flood my brain with inspiration and for me, it's by looking at CUTE stuff!!

So check out this CUTE stuff!

glitzy octo earrings by anthropology 

this ADORABLE bicycle built for two by Jenni Horne

I'm in love with bike prints, you can find tons of cute examples on etsy too!

Helen Dardik... always love everything she does! Is this sweet treat picture the cutest ever?

I swear everything she does is magical to me.  Can you imagine your mom making invites to your birthday that look like this?

and this is from Urban Outfitters:

I would love this for my desk, so me!!

These stamps are from Stampin' Up.  Stamps.... so addictive!!

and this... 

I guess because it's PINK it gets to go in the "cute" category (and the sparkly and the glitzy and the EXPEN$IVE category... at $32,999.99, I'll take 2!).

and then this... this gets my #1 Cute vote for today-

Eeeek, I seriously screamed when I saw it!  I've been begging the Mister on a daily basis to build one in the back yard!!  He didn't say "no"... so I'm going to start hand cutting wood shingles for the roof!  I wonder if I can use my cricut?!

Have a GREAT day!!

ok, before I forget: I DO read all your comments (and LOVE them) and I always respond to them, the problem: I respond in my head!  I always wonder if people come back to see if I've responded to their comments- which I sometimes do... but I'm curious: IF you comment, do you come back to see if I said anything?  Just curious... 

and:

a little plug about my BABY HAT DRIVE 

As most of you know, my daughter was adopted from China and I left a little piece of my heart there.  I'm collecting hats to keep the children and babies warm in the winter.  Many live in orphanages that are without heat.

1. make a baby hat, toddler hat, or kid sized hat (you can take the non-crafty way out and buy one if you must)

2. email me at: chinamommy_04@yahoo.com for my address.

3. I'll take care of shipping them to CHINA next fall (I'm shooting for a Sept deadline).

any questions- please feel free to email me!!

Will this be the day?

I REALLY hope I can get down to my studio/junk yard today!

I've been to the dentist all ready and am all done with my invisalign braces... now 3 months of these BULKY plastic retainers.  

Here's a little tour of my life in pictures, some insight as to why I have STARTED (but not finished) a skirt, afghan, 4 hats, 4 hair bows, a chandelier, mini terrarium, a baptism album, a book, and a variety of other items!
1st off I can't keep my eyes out of this eye-candy!!

I think it's insane that this cost $10, but I knew I had to have it!
Aren't magazines suppose to be $6?  I get sucked in by those $15 Somerset Magazines too!!
I'm not saying they aren't worth it, it's just the fact that
I WANT THEM ALL!

Darling and I are trying to talk the Mister into doing a little backyard construction...
The perfect place for reading and crocheting!

Presentations, presentation, presentation!!!

 of course, I'm swooning over all this turquoise!
I'm in the midst of reading this book:

I'm loving it!!
I want to make everything in this book:

anyone ever worked with that silver clay??  That's my NEXT project!

One thing I don't like... seeing all these wonderful projects but having no idea where to find some of the same items.  If anyone knows where I can find these hollow glass beads, please, let me know!

Organizing all my cricut cartridges in this cool red leather bag!

Working on this for Darling... Of course, now I don't like the cover, so I'm going to re-do that...

Another Cutie~Cupcake in the works...

Now you may have noticed a bit of "stuff" around my projects...
Just look at this insanity but please, don't call A&E to put me on HOARDERS!

Do you know of Helen Dardik?
YOU SHOULD!

I want to BE Helen!

I LOVE her style, I'm quite sure she's my favorite illustrator!

Next time you see my, I MIGHT be sporting a wiener dog headband!!
Well, that's what I do: read and look and dream of all the wonderful projects I want to do!  My problem- I have SO many ideas I can't settle down to get anything done!
Hope you get something done today... I'm going to try!
