Some of the females in the family are under 10 yrs of age and I decided they wouldn't like a ruffled scarf, so I'm making them a hooded scarf with Bernat Boa yarn - color Chick
OH MY GOSH!!!! I don't think I'll every go back to regular yarn when making scarves....this Boa is SUPER SOFT!!! I LOVE IT!!!! I used two skeins together (2 as one) and used 22 pegs, flat - e-wrapped. Folded the scarf in half and sewed the seam from top - down 10". ALL the children in the family will be getting a Boa scarf (different colors of course) - females hooded scarf and males regular scarf. Then I'm going to make ME a hooded scarf and a regular scarf...HA HA HA!!!
FYI - for a regular scarf I don't think I will double it, I'd just use 1 skein.
I'm working on another hooded scarf, when thats done then I'll make a regular scarf.
This Boa yarn is so fuzzy theres no front or back......WARNING!!!! because this Boa yarn is so fuzzy if you drop a stitch you'll have to start all over......at least for me, I couldn't find the stitch the yarn is too fuzzy. It happened to me twice...but the e-wrap is so quick it doesn't take long to get this project done.

A friend of mine was branding his cattle....the cow kicked him, my friend kicked the cow back and so the cow kicked him again....and now he (my friend) has to have knee surgery. MEN!? ROTFLOL!!!
I used Create a Critter and cut the cow at 2.83" and I cut the milk at 1.93". The saying were done on the silhouette. I embossed the front of the card with Broken Branches and the milk is covered with vellum.

I moved my craftroom.....HELP!!!
OK, Mothers Day weekend, I took the week off from work and moved my crafts to another room.
In my new room I have a peg board that's 48" (4ft) wide x 36" (3ft) high. LOL! I don't know what to hang on it.....I need your ideas???????? I've seen some scrapbook rooms with peg boards and they have their sticker sheets etc. I don't have stickers, so I don't know what to hang??? I look at my craft stuff and I just don't know what to put up there......I tell myself to go to Home Depot or Lowes and see what they have for peg boards.....but then what would I get??? What would I get it for???
Do you have a peg board for your crafts? or if you could have one...what would you put up on it????
PLEASE HELP!!!! I'm really determined to get my new craftroom super organized this time....ROTFLOL!
I'm in the process of destashing....I've moved a lot of craft stuff and still haven't used it....so that was the final straw... it HAS TO GO!!! no more ifs ands or buts....it's boxed and I'll be selling them...stay tune for that... in the mean time let me know what I can do with the peg board. THANKS!!!

Mothers Day card
I know, I'm late! well, not late ...just in time. I'm in a crafting crisis!!! My gypsy is dying on me...so so SAD!!! I can't craft without it.....
Anyway, I finally finished my Moms Mothers Day card. I love how it turned out....LOL its me about 50 years ago...ROTFLOL!!! I have to give credit to BELLA BUG from the cricut MB, she made this card and I sorta scrap lifted it!!!
http://www.bellabugcreations.blogspot.com/2013/04/mommy.html
I just loved her card and I had the cricut car decals cart (which I forgot about) and as you know I made my Mom the mini rose bush and this little girl has a flower. So I took the same red from the mini roses and the same yellow from the flower pot and made a card to match. Clever I know!!
The sentiment on the front is also from the same cart: "love your mother" which I thought sounded a little harsh so I made 3 copies and on the 1st one I hid the r and mother. The 2nd copy I hid love your ther (leave the Mo) and on the 3rd copy I hid everything except the M. I formed the word MoM and grouped them then centered under Love You and grouped them all together. Since my gypsy is acting up the inside of the card disappeared and I didn't have time to recreate my sentiment so I turned to my silhouette and found the sentiment in the sil store.
