Keep wrapping your Duck Tape pieces around forming the flower, try to keep the pedal tips in a straight line at first, then they will "bloom".<br />

<br />
Well tonight I went on a little adventure with my son, Anthony. (I drag him along on them quite often, he likes it.) Tonight we were in Blanco, Texas. We live very close and even attend mass there on Sundays. I had been wanting to visit this charming Store or as you can say Gallery for a while now, I would go as far as saying as long as I have lived here in Spring Branch, Texas. As it so happens for my luck, when I drove by tonight they were still open! You see the normal hours of operation state that they close at 5:00 p.m. I am very happy that I was allowed to walk around and ohh and aww at all the treasures, even snap some pictures!<br />
<br />
With out further a due...<br />

It's a 1947 Revere Eight movie camera. I am loving it and have already shot some (accidental) videos, this camera came with film already loaded. (Along with a warning from the shop owner saying he had no idea what was on the film so view at my own discretion.) I believe it still works, I have been looking into finding the equipment to project the film and I will be recording it with my camera. I can't wait to get started and love doing the research also. I will keep you posted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">This movie camera was produced in 1940. When it was introduced on the market, Samuel Briskin wanted to sell a product that was similar like the "Bell&Howell Companion", yet sold for just about half the price. It is equipped with a lens Wollensak Revere 12,5 mm, f:3.5, Velostigmat. The housing is made by metal and its color is brown. Its weight is kg. 0,900 e its size is 58x127x110 mm. taken from: <a href="http://www.movie-camera.it/reveree.html">http://www.movie-camera.it/reveree.html </a></span><br />

Saturday: Glam Makeup Brush Tutorial Whoo Hoo! Saturdays are Awesome, especially when you have a new D.I.Y. project to work on. I had some make up brushes that were a little... well, ho hum. :/ So I decided to spruce them up a bit, I found some 1940's pin up gifs. (I just Googled 1940 pin up girl, and printed out some sheets.) and with my trusty friend Mod Podge we created some much more interesting get prettied up sticks. <br />

Cut out pieces not shown here but as you see the gifs have borders around them. I cut the top and left border off, the bottom and right border I left on for overlapping the pieces on the brushes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Now for the fun part, the Mod Podging of the cut out pieces! </span><br />

You can see the pattern I am using here, I continued this pattern on most of the brushes. I did also try different techniques on other brushes though, trial and error, find a system that works for you.<br />
<br />

Lookie! I already have three done, the bottoms of the brushes were a little tricky but I used a gif cut with only the top border remaining (for overlap use) and Mod Podged it in place to cover the uneven last bits.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Embellish with pretties! I used pearls. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used a heavy duty glue to glue a pearl bead on the tops of the brushes, press and hold in place till the bond is pretty strong. Get creative! You can use anything to "dress up" your project!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Let set and enjoy your "new" prettied up make up brushes!</span><br />

That's a good idea! Well, I hope you find this to be a good idea. :) I use plastic canvas hearts to keep track of my apolstery needles and other large needles. I wouldnt want to drop one and not notice it, so the red heart stands out enough to see right away! This way your needle is all dressed up fancy smancy, very visible for when looking through your sewing kit. The needle slides right through the stitches too, and stays! Super neat! <br />
What is a little helpful to you idea for your crafting?<br />

My dad had recently tried a family owned restaurant in Canyon Lake. He really liked it and thought we would all enjoy the experience, so today we went to check it out, <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g55581-d860680-Reviews-Frank_s_Bait_Taco-Canyon_Lake_Texas.html">Frank's Bait & Taco</a>. I of course grabbed my camera to take pictures of the atmosphere... my dad told me about it, and it sounded like my kind of place. The food was excellent, HUGE portions and very good! Presentation was excellent as well. I met Ed, the owner, and he is a great guy who loves to talk to his guests and make them feel like they are right at home. We had a chat and he showed me some great artifacts in his place that were very interesting, unique and very close to his heart, some even sent from out of state. He places each gifted item/items in a special place in the restaurant to share with anyone and everyone who dines. He wants there to be some thing interesting to see in every corner of "<a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g55581-d860680-Reviews-Frank_s_Bait_Taco-Canyon_Lake_Texas.html">Frank's Bait & Taco</a>".<br />

The ladies (mom, sister and I) went looking around at some other shops in Canyon Lake and this caught my eye. I think because I actually have a mini sewing kit I recently found that was my late Grandmothers, very similar to this one. Very vintage, I had to snap a quick photo.</div>

Now, I know to some people a little snow isn't a big deal in the month of February, but this is Texas, and we don't get snow that sticks often at all! Soo, I quickly grabbed my camera, and snapped away as soon as I saw the coverage that had accumulated over night.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy these, we had such an adventure today!<br />

Just a quick update of some more bottle cap pendents. These are beautiful and I am very proud of how wonderful they came out. I want to go more in this direction with them in the use of flowers and sayings.<br />

I guess I am a more retro old school gamer of sorts. I can shoot me some ducks, let me tell you! I love the old look of the 8 bit NES games and so why not craft up some pieces of one of my favorite games of all time. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris">Tetris</a> is fun addicting and VERY hard to walk away from. I got this idea from <a href="http://craftster.com/">Craftster.com</a>, for the compete instructions <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=299163.0">go here</a>. The project usually instructs to make the pieces into magnets, which I may or may not do in the future. I really thought they came out cute and the possibilities of the accessories you can come up with are endless. Hair pins, centerpiece of a bow, rings, earrings, necklace, etc.<br />
<br />
So with out further ado, hear are my own little Tetris Pieces.<br />

I am in love again! I have been falling in love with plastic canvas work again lately. In fact I think I could do them all day long, and recently I have been spending a lot of time re-learning how to sew them. One site that I have been looking at for patterns is <a href="http://www.mountainharmony.com/crafts/">Mountain Harmony.com</a>. They have a lot of cartoon patterns like Care Bears, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake and Hello Kitty. All vintage style, (old school from like when I was a kid) so I am eager to make them all, just for kicks. Soon I will be teaching myself even more stitches of PC work! My Grandmother, who just had a Birthday, recently passed down a pattern book for me to use. Thank you Grandma, love you. :)<br />
<br />
Today we celebrated my daughters Birthday, and one thing we both love is Hello Kitty and cute things. It was Hello Kitty's Birthday this month also, the first of November. My daughter has been counting down the days until the Hello Kitty toys will make it to Mc Donalds for the 50th anniversary. Today we all went to get Mc Donalds and Happy Meals, we had to see what toy we would get. (We got watches, very cute.) Well, to celebrate all the special Birthdays of this month, I will go ahead and show off a couple of works I have done. Plastic Canvas that my Grandmother was eager to share patterns, books and advice on. My little girl loves Hello Kitty, and so I knew she would love the Hello Kitty pattern I found. My own little cutsie projects as of late, and I must say they are as cute (if not more) than any toy you can get at Micky Dees. <br />
