I was talking to an online friend the other day and she asked me how the studio was coming along.  We started renovating the downstairs into my studio about 2 years ago now I guess (mid 2009).  When the bottom fell out of the economy we lost all of our “extra” money, so the studio got put on the back burner.  Well, I just took a little part time job so I could make a little extra money to start working on the studio again.  As such, I decided I…

4 eggs 1 3/4 cups sugar 1/2 cup self rising flour 2 cups milk 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 stick butter 2 pinches nutmeg 7 oz bag of coconut Preheat to 350 (f) Mix, pour in a buttered 8×8 dish, bake 30 –45 minutes *until set*. Let cool. Eat until you pop. 🙂 *when you take it out of the oven, the center should be a little jiggley but not juicey.

I thought it would be fun to show you all some folks/things that interest me, so this week… I would like to introduce you to Lilach Oren if you don’t know her already!  I’ve known her (online) for quite some time.  She has a fantastic blog full of hybrid, digital, fabric and paper craft and sewing projects! Her blog is great, but my favorite thing about Lilach is her ETSY shop.  She creates and sells the most adorable projects.  Makeup cases, art cases for kids, jewelry, belts…  all of it…

I was having dinner with a pregnant friend of mine a week or two ago.  Just two gals, hangin’ out.  Of course we got on to talking about her baby, since she is about to pop.  I was so shocked when out of no where she said she guessed she should really get a husband soon.  I just kind of laughed it off and sat there for a second, and when I looked into her eyes my heart broke.  I realized she really meant it. I’ve been thinking about it…

wow the last week or so seems to have just melted away.  I swear I have no idea where the time has gone.  I got a promotion at work, and though I still do not work a lot, it’s just enough to mess up my day!  lol!!! On a good note though, we have been so fortunate the past two weekends to be able to spend them getting to know someone very sweet.  You see, at Christmas we finally got to meet my little niece.   She is 8,the daughter…

My Feb bookmark is a little gothy this month… Stamp is a rubber stamp from Jill Penney.  Stamped with Stazon onto white cardstock.  Then colored with water color pencils, and detailed with Sakura Stardust pens.   The base is white cardstock inked and then stamped with Vintage  Photo, Walnut Stain, Antique Linen, and a tiny smidgel of Rich Razzleberry.  Alpha is stamped in vintage photo.  READ is black Thickers from Amercian Crafts.  The tie is black hemp rope, and beaded with 1 beaded black heart bead.  🙂  Oh, the flower stamp…

Got an email today asking whatever happened to the ATC card starters I posted back in OCT.  It just so happens this was great timing because I just started getting the cards back a week or so ago!   “Jamming” usually doesn’t take this long but we had so many going at once and then it was the holidays, that folks are just now getting them sent back to me! So heres what I have back so far… OCT ATC JAM CALL 3 started here with me: then Jay added: and…

Welp, here we are.  Another week has passed.  Another 7 days taken from the future.   Another 168 hours spent idley accomplishing notta. the kids have been out of school so much lately.  Snow snow snow. I am sick, coughing and hacking.  The kids are home, bored to death. This has not been a great week in the Cates household. Well, that’s not true.  I found out this week that I got my promotion at work! I am the newest Territory Assistant for Hallmark!  That is kind of awesome.  Well, to…

thats right ladies and gents!  This week has been all about: Resting, Reading, and Recuperating! Im still sick.  My throat and chest hurts from coughing so much.  My head hurts from being so congested.  My ear holes even hurt this week.  LOL  So, how has this affected my week?  Well, I’ve done lots of sleeping lots of reading and lots of general laziness.   Shoot, it’s taken me all week just to catch up on last weeks laundry.  Nice to know when mom is down the rest of the fam will…

I was just in a creative FUNK yesterday.  I think its because Im a little on the sick side.  Im so congested, and my head is KILLING me.  Theraflu is not helping either.  blah. Anyway, I was in a funk so I posted a “creative spark” over at DSO yesterday…  and then I went to bed, so I didn’t even touch it until today.  LOL!!!!!!! The spark yesterday was to use the phrase {heart} on a creation.  Layout, card, whatever… This is a hybrid card, I created the heart badge…
