Don't get me wrong, I love diamond's, ruby's, and sapphire's...<br />
I just don't really have very many!<br />
<br />
But, if you dig into my jewelry box you would find...<br />
trendy pieces, <br />
hand-made pieces, <br />
and meaningful pieces.<br />
<br />
I thought I would show you three of my favorite, most-worn, <em>meaningful Mommy pieces</em>.<br />
<br />
This bracelet, my husband bought me when Sutton came into the world.<br />
It goes with everything...<br />
And, I have worn it 9 years!<br />

My mom had this piece made for me on my last birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had been wanting an<em> initial necklace</em> but I really didn't want just<em> my</em> initials on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, the "K" in the center is for me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I bought the charms and jump ringed them onto an inexpensive chain. </div>

Day 3-<br />
We packed the rental car and headed to <a href="http://www.gettysburg.travel/">Gettysburg</a>. <br />
It was the place Lincoln gave his famous speech <em>Four Score and Seven Years ago...</em><br />
All around we could see homes, graveyards, and artifacts from Civil War Times...<br />
It truly was like stepping back into time.<br />
<br />
For lunch we randomly pulled into a restaurant next to McDonald's.<br />
It was called the <a href="http://www.gettysburg.travel/visitor/member_detail.asp?contact_id=66&list=eat">Dobbin's House</a>.<br />
Little did we know, that this was one of the first stops of the underground railroad.<br />
We ate downstairs in a candle lite tavern. <br />
Such an unplanned and unique experience.<br />

I wanted the kids to see (visually) all the people that had fought for our freedom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is a powerful sight.</div>

While we were there, the last living WW1 veteran was buried. It was a little tricky getting out of Arlington with the President and Vice President paying their respects.</div>

The Smithsonian Museums were calling our name.<br />
<br />
Our first stop was the Museum of American History <br />
<br />
Here are a few of the highlights!<br />
<ul>
<li>Julia Child's Kitchen-I love how her husband drew on the pegboard where to place the pot back in it's spot.</li>
<li>All the First Ladies of the White House dresses. I couldn't take pictures because I couldn't stop looking at each one. There was a film playing in the background interviewing many of the First Ladies and how they felt donating their gowns to the Smithsonian. It was really something to see.</li>
<li>The Star Spangle Banner Flag...no pictures allowed of it! All I could say was WOW!</li>
<li>Abraham Lincoln's Hat worn the night he was assassinated at the theater.</li>
<li>And many more...from Michael Jackson's Hat to Kermit the Frog.</li>
</ul>
This place was full of surprises for me. <br />
I thought I was going to be bored!<br />
Boy, was I wrong.<br />

Day 2:<br />
Second Smithsonian Museum<br />
Natural History<br />
( I went here in November with just Shane-<br />
we had fun showing it to the kids)<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Hello Dum-dum from the movie "Night at the Museum 2".</li>
<li>The center of the museum...the elephant</li>
<li>We happened to be at the museum while the orchids were on display. I took hundreds of photos and can I just say it, smelled like heaven in there.</li>
<li>The Hope diamond worn by a dog! I love it!</li>
<li>Earrings worn by Marie Antoinette</li>
<li>The earthquakes as the aftershocks were occurring in Japan.</li>
<li>The great yarn sea...Little Miss H was in love with it too!</li>
</ul>

Are you exhausted yet?<br />
One more museum to see today...<br />
Air and Space Museum.<br />
<br />
I was just worn out by now--<br />
I am not sure I appreciated how cool this place was because I had seen too much.<br />
My brain was done processing.<br />
<br />
If you like planes and rockets then you will love this place.<br />
<ul>
<li>I saw the actual Spirit of St. Louis Plane</li>
<li>Amelia Earhart's plane and goggles.</li>
<li>The Wright Brother's plane and bicycle.</li>
<li>Lots of space stuff</li>
</ul>

Ha, now for the 8 block hike to the hotel.<br />
<br />
Let's take a little detour.<br />
Do you see why?<br />
Ford's Theatre on the right.<br />
I wanted to see where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.<br />

Can I just say, <br />
"I am SOOOOO tired tonight".<br />
I have been burning the midnight oil for 2 weeks now <br />
and I am fading!<br />
<br />
This is what happens to me<br />
I get so excited about what projects I am making,<br />
I can't sleep. <br />
All night long, I dream about them.<br />
Why can't I turn off my brain?<br />
Tonight, I keep thinking about<br />
Jeans, that's correct denim jeans!<br />
I want to stitch shamrocks and <br />
rainbows, and maybe even a<br />
Irish Blessing on them.<br />
I can't get them out of my mind.<br />
<br />
However, the kids are home for spring break so---<br />
I will have to take a blog break.<br />
And-stitch my jeans another day!<br />
Sure hope I can sleep! wink, wink<br />
<br />
I am leaving you with an image of something <br />
<br />
I LOVE!<br />

This is the leather bracelet I made at Brave Girls Camp.<br />
<br />
It had many problems.<br />
The biggest issue was that I stamped the letter "a" but it wasn't an "a".<br />
It was a "g". <br />
<br />
<em>How do you fix that?</em><br />
<br />
Add lots of ribbon and buttons of course!<br />

I just wasn't quite sure where to begin, <br />
it is like having a giant soup pot filled with ideas and not knowing how to separate them.<br />
So here I go, with my first sip of information...<br />

Brave Girls Camp allowed me precious time to CREATE! <br />
<br />
No interruptions,<br />
No deadlines,<br />
No worries...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><em>(well sort of...I always have worries </em></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><em>and I had a Big worry while I was there--</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><em>I will share it at another time)</em></span><br />
<br />
It gave me creative freedom<br />
and let's not forget<br />
an <em>art room as magical as Cinderella's castle</em>.<br />
It was paradise!<br />

Totally inspired from Melody Ross and her art!<br />
She had so many of her canvases on the wall of our cabin.<br />
Each one spoke to me and moved me.<br />
<br />
Above the coffee, tea, and lemonade stand was a painting that I loved..<br />
It had 2 birds.<br />
Every morning, I would study it. <br />
The layers, the flow, the details...<br />
I was in aw.<br />
My painting was one of the last projects I did at camp<br />
I was 100% inspired by Miss Melody Ross!<br />
She is magic!<br />

<br />
<br />
I am home from a life-changing trip!<br />
I am holding on to the details of <a href="http://www.bravegirlsclub.com/aboutbravegirlcamp-main.html">Brave Girl's Camp</a><br />
like they are a precious gift. (which they 100% are)<br />
Sharing the experience with you will take me time.<br />
I am still trying to process it all <br />
and recover some much needed sleep!<br />
<br />
So in the meantime,<br />
I would love to tell you about <br />
Valentine's Day.<br />
<br />
Every year since the kids have been little, <br />
I kicked off Valentine's Day<br />
with a Chocolate Breakfast.<br />
Yes, you are reading the text correctly...<br />
<br />
CHOCOLATE BREAKFAST!<br />
Mmm mmm good!<br />
<br />
This year's menu:<br />
<ul>
<li>Chocolate Fountain for dipping bananas, strawberries, and marshmallows in</li>
<li>A mini chocolate cake</li>
<li>Chocolate chip waffles or pancakes</li>
<li>Suzy Q's</li>
<li>and cookies</li>
</ul>
My Valentine's Day started in the toilet.<br />
I heard "Good Morning", then in the next sentence.<br />
"Your dog left you a present in the hallway".<br />
(this is not a box from my favorite blue box store...<br />
this is exactly what you think it is!)<br />
<br />
Wahhhhh! Valentine's Day Stinks!<br />
So over-rated!<br />
<br />
Just like anything in life-<br />
I had to clean up the hallway <br />
then persevere with my day!<br />
<br />
Downstairs I found roses...ahhh! <br />
Good move darling husband...<br />

Talent, talent, talent! <br />
I was so surprised and tickled!!!!<br />
<br />
Dear husband surprised me with dinner plans.<br />
<br />
Not typical on a Monday night and I must say<br />
we really aren't big Valentine's Day Celebrators.<br />
My birthday is too close to "Love Day".<br />
<br />
I loved that he wouldn't tell me where we were going!<br />
So, I stuck with the basic black Chanel looking dress and<br />
the pearl necklace. <br />
Simple elegance as I like to call it.<br />
<br />
We passed the city, and just like I though drove to The Plaza.<br />
He turned sooner than I thought<br />
and parked at <a href="http://www.cafetriokc.com/wp2/">Cafe Trio</a>.<br />
I had never been there.<br />
<br />
I felt giddy for a minute when we walked in.<br />
The place was plastered with Valentine's Decor.<br />
Feathery lanterns, hearts hanging everywhere, and a balloon arch...<br />
It was a cross between prom decor and the movie set for Valentine's Day.<br />
<br />

I had to take a photo with my camera <br />
because no one would believe it without proof.<br />
Of course, they had a special Valentine's Menu.<br />
The food was fantastic....<br />
even a glass of champagne came with dessert.<br />
<br />

I don't like champagne...the bubbles tickle <br />
and it doesn't taste good at all with chocolate.<br />
Hubby isn't a champagne drinker either...<br />
oh, well.<br />
<br />
It was a fun night...<br />
<br />
On a love note, I forgot to tell you <br />
that my Valentine mailbox is in the<br />
February Hobby Lobby Magazine ($1.99)<br />

AMAZING!<br />
I played with the flower stamp on the tag shown.<br />
It looks dimensional when stamped.<br />

<br />
I can't post for a week.<br />
I have to pay for my crafting habit and my love for shoes...<br />
<br />
So, Hi-Ho Hi-Ho...it is off to work I go...<br />
<br />
I am leaving you with this project.<br />
It is my work apron.<br />
Notice the pink flower...<br />
It coordinates with the fabric on the pockets...<br />

I agree with <a href="http://apeacefulplacetobe.blogspot.com/">Lisa </a>the directions need more photos or a YouTube video.<br />
Much ripping out occurred on this project...<br />
Sewed the handle on backwards...<br />
Didn't cut out all the pieces...54 pieces (did I mention it wasn't a beginner bag?)<br />
Yelled at it many times...<br />
Cried...<br />
Took it to Grandma's for repairs.<br />

Another<a href="http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/mainmenu.php"> Amy Butler pattern</a>....<br />
It is a cell phone or Ipod case.<br />
Cross your fingers this one is a little easier for me...<br />Kara Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17945613975587842067noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815216180342867608.post-6266944026971916192011-01-23T17:35:00.001-06:002011-01-23T19:50:27.309-06:00Think Spring with Fabric Flowers!All this snow<br />
had me dreaming of bright, warm days.<br />
<br />
With a little fabric <br />
and a button,<br />
I made these flower corsages.<br />
<br />
This McCall's pattern helped guide<br />
my first flower. <br />
I used view "C".<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u><strong>Here's the how to:</strong></u><br />
1 strip of fabric 2 inches wide by 30 inches long.<br />
1 strip of fabric 1 1/4 inches wide by 30 inches long.<br />
Place the strips on top of each other so the right side of the fabric is visible. <br />
Stitch a basting stitch by hand or using a sewing machine.<br />
If you use your machine,make sure to set your stitch size at least a 5.5.<br />
Pull the bottom thread, to gather the fabric. <br />
It will coil into the shape of a flower.<br />
Sew it together and add a button to the center.<br />
If you like leaves, cut a leaf shape from the fabric. <br />
You will need 2, a front and back to your leaf.<br />
I put fusible fleece between the layer of my leaf and <br />
then stitch an outline of the leaf on the sewing machine.<br />
I hid the backside with a felt circle cut using my old fashion <br />
Sizzix Machine. Sew on a pin back.<br />
Ready to give or Ready to wear!</td></tr>

I was fortunate enough to meet <a href="http://blog.betzwhite.com/">Betz White</a><br />
at Silverbella.<br />
It was a quick,<em> how's it going introduction</em>.<br />
She was sitting at her vendor table with all<br />
those cupcakes from her book's cover in front of her.<br />
<br />
I had to have one!<br />
It is a pincushion.<br />
She also had kits for sale to make <strong>this</strong>!<br />

A Cup of Joe pincushion.<br />
I LOVED IT!<br />
I thought it looked like hot cocoa.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Mmmm...drinking some tonight.)</span><br />
<br />
I bought the kit and here is how mine turned out!<br />
Finally finished it today with my mom.<br />
I was scared to start it <br />
but Betz had easy directions with pictures....<br />
The pink and green colors are 100% ME!<br />
It is made from recycled sweater pieces!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow,<br />
hold your breath,<br />
I am cutting out the Amy Butler Bag!<br />

After looking at my friend <a href="http://apeacefulplacetobe.blogspot.com/">Lisa's blog</a>, <br />
I thought to myself...<br />
why not?<br />

I just happen to thumb through <a href="http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/mainmenu.php">Amy Butler's new book</a><br />
"Style Stitches" at <a href="http://www.urbanartsandcrafts.com/">Urban Arts</a>.<br />
<br />
I was so inspired by the patterns, the colors, and textures.<br />
It was just beautiful!<br />
<br />
So (sew),<br />
Why not?<br />
<ul>
<li>make something I love,</li>
<li>something I will use,</li>
<li>time I can spend with my mom sewing</li>
</ul>
Perfect activity for a blizzard-y Wednesday.<br />
<br />
The first challenge is to make this bag!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://jemjam.typepad.com/jemjam/2010/12/style-stitches-monthly-bag-challenge-2011-januarys-bag.html">Jemellia </a>helps by giving tips, linking to websites for advice, etc.<br />
It is a sewing support group!<br />
<br />
You just gotta love that!<br />

I loved the shape of this tote..<br />
The over-sized button,<br />
and the option to make a long handle<br />
or a short handle.<br />
<br />
The next step was to choose my fabric...<br />
<a href="http://www.urbanartsandcrafts.com/">Urban Arts</a> carries a lot of <a href="http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/mainmenu.php">Amy Butler fabrics</a>.<br />

I was drawn to a cool palette of ocean colors.<br />
I must be dreaming of summer!<br />

A flickr group has been set up to view all the finished bags!<br />
<br />
<br />
I did not sign up for the <a href="http://jemjam.typepad.com/jemjam/2010/12/a-monthly-bag-challenge-for-2011.html#comment-6a01116848cbe4970c0147e0fe0f15970b">challenge</a>. <br />
I just couldn't commit to make every bag in the book.<br />
Even though, <a href="http://jemjam.typepad.com/jemjam/2010/12/style-stitches-monthly-bag-challenge-2011-januarys-bag.html">sweet Jemellia</a> will allow you to customize <br />
how many bags you wish to make. <br />

<br />
I hope you sign-up <br />
so I can see what fabrics you choose.<br />
<br />
Maybe after I get one bag sewn, I will sign up for real!<br />
Pinkie promise!<br />
For now, I guess I am a lurker...<br />

Do you want a sneaky peek at something else?<br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: x-small;">Oh, yes!</span><br />
<br />
Before it is in the stores?<br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: x-small;">Mmm hmm!</span><br />
<br />
Do you love to craft?<br />
<span style="background-color: #c27ba0; font-size: x-small;">Raise your hand high and nod very big....</span><br />
