Weekendin'...

I have had a couple busy weekends and I kept forgetting to upload the photos so my blogging has been slack lately.  I will give you a recap in pictures.

What happens when someone randomly asks you if you have read the Harry Potter books?  In some cases it means you get volunteered to dress up as a Wizard to teach spells at a kid's birthday party.  That is what happened to B a few weeks ago.  I was extremely nervous about this but B ended up being amazing and the kids really like him.  He was quick on his feet and a great improviser.  I am now his booking agent if anyone is in the market for some children's bday party entertainment.

It was Shanzles big 31st birthday a week ago so I made her these cupcakes in the shape of an 'S' (sort of).

Cupcakes are cool.  But you know what people are really in to?  Ice cream sundae bars.  For real.  Put out some ice cream, chocolate sauce, cherries and of course whipped cream and people get excited.

See that excitement.

My friend Rachel flew in from New York to meet Beezus5's new baby.  KMU actually met a lot of new people at Shanzles' birthday party.

I'm thinking of writing the pilot for a new buddy sitcom...'2 Men, a Poodle and a Baby'.  Yeah?  Would you watch?

This past weekend I spent a lot of time making these guys and listening to some hot pop music on my iPad.

So that was my past few weekends. 

Did you do anything exciting?

Hobie and JM's Crafternoon

I had many crafting projects to catch up on yesterday.  There were wine charm orders, 5K t-shirts, and bridesmaid jewelry to be made.  So I asked Hobie to lend me a paw (I am hilarious).

He was worried about accidentally dyeing his fur (like I dyed my hands) so he didn't really help with the t-shirts but he did come sit outside with me for awhile so I could try to get a little tan while beading some wine charms.  I don't want to be the palest bridesmaid in Curly J's wedding.

After going to the beach for a few days followed by binge eating 2 kinds of ham at my Aunt's house, I spent the rest of my Easter break on crafts and reading.  After much thought, I decided to go ahead and finish out the Hunger Games Trilogy this weekend.  I'm almost done with the third book.  I'm still planning on getting the Tina Fey book soon though.  I have also convinced B to read them, which is kind of hard because they are all downloaded on my iPad and I'm not that good at sharing.  He has to steal it from me when I'm napping and read what he can as fast as possible (but he's a speed reader so that works out for him).

What did you guys do for Easter?

Wedding Week-Wine Time

I have been pretty surrounded by weddings recently.  I mean we had the Acorn Wedding, the McRosen Engagement, Chelsea Clinton's Wedding, My Own Anniversary, etc.  I decided to start focusing my Etsy shop more on wedding related things.  Recently I have been making a bunch of wine charms that I think would be great for wedding events.

At the last wedding I was in, the Groom sent the bride and bridesmaids a bottle of champagne.  (Although I missed the exact moment because I was working on my hairstyle).  I thought these would be great for just that occasion.  See they are blue.  Something blue......

The only thing that could have improved the plastic champagne flutes that Mo prepared for us for the Acorn bachelorette party, would have been these handy pink wine charms.  Bachelorette parties can get crazy.  You don't want to accidentally drink out of the wrong glass........

On the topic of wine.....For my own wedding I decided I wanted to make my bridesmaids and BFFs wine related gifts.  So I painted them wine glasses.  I had big dreams of making intricate designs on the glasses but dots ended up being about as intricate as I could get.  I just bought some glass paint at Michael's and followed the instructions.  They give you a special paint that you use to pre-paint the glasses so that the paint doesn't wash off.  I may have forgotten to use that on some of them.  Ooops.  Oh well, some of the dots are still on.  I've seen them at my friend's houses.

So what do you think of my wine related crafts?
And more importantly.......
Do you like Red Wine?
White Wine?
Champagne?
Arbor Mist?
Or just plain beer?

Oh and a side note-Although in my last post I said my sister makes fun of the questions at the end of my blogs, she is still a wonderful person.  A truly wonderful person.  The best.
