Mario and Luigi costumes!

The boys LOVE Mario and Luigi, running around the house pretending they are actually them!
So i decided to make their costumes, since they are so hard to find(and crazy expensive)
Sooooooo I got me some red and green hats, created the emblems, grabbed a few hairy adhesive mustaches, a couple a pair of white gloves, and am now in the process of making the overalls.
You'll have to wait for our halloween pictures to see the finished product!
I also made sure to get extra supplies in case I messed up......but I didn't.
So......I'm off..... I've got 5 more mario hats, and 5 more Luigi hats, and lots of hairy mustaches that I'm listing on Ebay!

By the way.....i never posted a picture of the 'toadstool' cupcakes that I made for Carson's 5th birthday........here's one!

oooh, lookie, i found more!

I was rummaging through some old pictures and found some more of my projects!
They are from years ago, but i still wanted to share!
Above is a dragonfly duvet (painted) with matching bolster pillow.
Below is a picture of My dear Dad, who passed away 6 years ago.
Caeleigh was missing her poppy really bad, especially at night, so I printed this onto an iron on transfer and surprised her with a poppy pillow!

Here's a little fairy painting i whipped up for my little cousin Laine (almost called her my neice, because my aunt is definately more like my sis!)

And finally, 2 cute little pillow cases that I painted :) I don't know who would have carrot pillows in their bedroom, but i love 'em!

Random finds!

So, Im posting some of my random finds in this section!
I go a treasure huntin' on a mission to the local consignment shop, and call it "the random thing of the day".
