TGF Heart Journal--week 15

Hi! Wow, it's week 15 of TGF's Heart Journaling! This is the closest I've come to missing the deadline. I don't know how the days go by so quickly but because school was done earlier and I got sick over the weekend and my daughter is sick too now, I didn't have much time to craft. Plus it was Halloween too! I actually had to think what I wanted to create while driving my kids around to school and other activities. Finally, I had a few minutes to sit down and finish the page. Good thing the theme for this week is to use a little or a lot of sticky. So I thought of using stickers and it was quick to stick them onto the page instead of using glue.

Sorry, photo may look kind of dark. Anyway, this is my tribute to Sanrio and Morning Glory's Blue Bear. I used my daughter's stash of cute stickers. The border is My Melody washi tape which I have in 2 other colors as well and cost a small fortune but it's so cute! My nihongo is a bit rusty so hopefully kawaii is spelled correctly in hiragana. I found these cute hiragana stamps and thought I could use those to spell arigatoo or something for my kids' Japanese language teachers. I did end up asking my daughter to double check my hiragana. She's been taking Japanese since kindergarten now and has learned all of the hiragana chart and working her way through katakana now.

Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll be able to post more regularly once Lego Robotics is done. Just another week or so left!

nuts and bolts

Hello! Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy. I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with. I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles . You can find the pattern HERE . Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute. But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not. It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use. Here is a different view of him. Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom. I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot. I tried stitching one h...

Snowman gift card holder

Hi! I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences. It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts. I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one. It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch. The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card. I added this fun card that I stamped. You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks. I hope I can make more of these little guys. These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

Perfect Paper Crafting & Laura My Mind's Eye Pam Jenny Eva (Me!) Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those. I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...
