GHETTO Get Well Gift

Introducing my latest creation: GHETTo crutch covers!

One of my best friends from high school got hit by a car and now has to be on crutches for a very long time. So I sent her a little care package and had the idea of making her crutch covers out of some scrap minke fabric I had so her armpits wouldn't fall off from the crutches. In my mind they were a lot cuter and better looking. Here is what they turned out to be. Terry says this picture makes them look like diapers. I just did a long running stitch on the ends and then attached some velcro. They are the simplest things but I hope they help her survive her long crutch days! Get better soon best friend!!

Basketball Blues

Lately basketball hasn't been too good to me. Let me just tell you why:

1. My fantasy team, Tru Playa, isn't doing to hot. My boys Dirk and Steve need to step it up a notch or twenty!!

2. I played on a team in the Sugar City league and got a nice little present out of it:

I really think girls basketball is a lot tougher than boys, girls are brutal with there pinching and elbowing. The girl that got me was just on a rebound but some of the other girls on her team, watchout they were out for blood!

3. And finally we got disqualified from the city league!! It was such a let down. We had been playing all season with only 5 girls and then one was gone for the second game of tournament so we picked up another girl and after a team with like 10 girls got beat by us with only 5 they weren't too happy and had a little chat with the league director so now were out. It's not like we picked up another girl to help us win the tournament we just needed her to play! I just hope that the team we fairly beat doesn't get to keep going in the tourament because we were disqualified, that would just be crazy!

Pheww now that I got that off my chest and black eye is nearly gone I can start to move on. But basketball I will always love you no matter how rough you are me!

Message Boards

Yep we're still alive and heres a pretty cute craft to prove it! I got the frames from DI and then just sanded and painted them and then the other stuff is from Porters and other things I just had. They were a lot of fun to make and so easy. This first one is for Terry's cousins Lacey and Nick. His family does a big Webb Christmas party every year and they do a cousin gift exchange. So I got a jump start and were all ready for that party now! You can't see it very well but I made the second flower on the corkboard part. It's really simple and they are my new favorite thing I think Terry might hide them all so I'll stop wearing them in my hair! And the third picture is the one I made for us.

Project # 3

# 3 was coasters! I had wanted some since I saw some on Anthropology's website and then I saw my friend Tara had made some out of tiles so I borrowed her idea and here they are! (Sorry the picture is kind of bad I forgot my camera at my parents house so I've been using my web cam for the last few pictures)

Crafty Weekend

This has been my creative weekend, I had 3 progects I really wanted to get done and so far 2 are finished and hopefully I'll have another to post tonight. The first one was a shower gift for my friend Brittney I just got a block and a rub on letter and then embelished it I think it turned out pretty cute!
My second project was refinishing my old desk. When I was younger I had modge podged a collage on it so I spent last week sanding it off and then I re-modge podged it with some scrap book paper with cute patterns. I love Modge Podge!!!
