I can’t believe I was for such a long time without blogging, life got busy and I got lazy and things were changing, but I decided to come back because now I have some extra time in my hands and also because I am ready for lots of giveways and new DIY projects, so I AM BACK!
Soon I will be giving a new face to the blog and everybody is welcome to comment and colaborate of course.

Ok… I know I haven’t been posting here as much as I wish, but finally I go some time and here I am.
So this is a DIY for a striped shirt with edges:
Isn’t the cutest thing… This is a picture of a little girl (Bitty Moose’s daughter) giving some LUUUVE to one of my dolls:
That just make me sooo happy!
A little late but always showing the best of… “Artist of the Weekend”!
Now it is time to show Heather’s work, her shop is quite new but already full of great items, so let’s see Bitty Moose :
I am just a rural work at home Mom enjoying life and embracing my inner weirdo. My 3 young children are my inspiration for everything. I love to paint, I love to play with wax, and occasionally bust out the sewing machine to make a new friend.
I’m a reformed Partylite consultant. Back when I sold Partylite, they convinced me nothing could be better. Then when they raised prices (again) this year, I relaized I could make a BETTER, healthier candle, and charge TONS less. My customers have agreed, and now I even do home parties where I sell my candles and take orders for custom signs.
You know that saying “Jack of all trades, Master of none?” Yep, that’s me. I do my art, I own a mobile DJ service, and I’m a self-proclaimed Supermom. In the past, I have had a colorful array of mini-careers! I spent 7 years as a radio DJ, I sold clothes at Sears, I raised money for the MDA, and even became certified as an Optician.
Right now, I’m honestly the happiest I have ever been. My art allows me to express myself and be with my spawn, and while it hasn’t made me a mint (yet!) it’s certainly cheaper than a shrink! 
Vivika says a special thanks to Bittymoose.

Wow… This one it’s just so simple… DIY FAIRY WINGS !!!!!
Here is another movie I loooove…
L’Auberge Espagnole is a 2002 movie, it tells the history of Xavier, an economics student in his twenties, signs on to a European exchange program in order to gain working knowledge of the Spanish language. Promising that they’ll remain close, he says farewell to his loving girlfriend, then heads to Barcelona. Following his arrival, Xavier is soon thrust into a cultural melting pot when he moves into an apartment full of international students. An Italian, an English girl, a boy from Denmark, a young girl from Belgium, a German and a girl from Tarragona all join him in a series of adventures that serve as an initiation to life.
Check it out:

Artist of the Weekend
Published September 30, 2007 Uncategorized 3 CommentsTags: art, Artist of the Weekend, cool, craft, new
Hi guys! I’m late to post the Artist of the Weekend… I’ve been working a lot and my time is so little to do what I want!!! But here I’m again, and proud to show Jessica’s work!
Jessica is the owner of ‘Cuz I Felt Like It, a shop on Etsy, full of personality and cuteness. So let’s hear what she has to say about herself and her work:
I come from a long line of strong headed, crafty Irish women and I think I really embody each of those things!
I just started ‘Cuz I Felt Like It! about 6 months ago. It all began when a friend asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and at 31, I had no answer.
I’ve always said my dream job would be one where I could have pink hair, all the tattoos I wanted (which I do now, but long sleeves in 100+ degree weather not so fun!) and still make a decent amount of money. So far, that hasn’t happened! That one question had really got my rusty wheels turning…..”What do I want to be when I grow up”?
I started with what do I think I’m good at that I enjoy? Well, there’s drinking, rollerskating, making cool things with my own two hands and cleaning (not so much these days though!).
There’s no money in rollerskating, just bruises…..drinking, that just leads to more rollerskating…….cleaning, I tried that (and BANKED big time!), but then 9/11 came along and it just became too unreliable and I’m a stability freak!……Then there’s making things with my own two hands. I could see the fun in that and maybe some money along the way! They say “If you enjoy your job, you’ll never actually work a day in your life”…..That’s what I’m striving for!
I was sitting on my front porch talking to my husband at about a million miles a minute about all of my FANTASTIC ideas. He just looked confused. He finally said, “why are you doing all this?”…..my answer…..”Cuz I fell like it!” and TADOW…..the name was born and it was PERFECT! I had planned making cute felt creations and whatever else I felt like doin’!
I started out making things that I would want to buy. Then my kids pitched in and started drawing some creatures they wanted me to do. Right now, my favorite thing I’m doing is my Battle Scarred Bears. They started out as cute in a sad sorta way bears, but after reading an article in People Magazine about a man that went off to war in Iraq and didn’t come back the same as he left, the Battle Scarred Bears were born! The bottom line with them is that we all have scars, some inside, some out, but no matter what, we all still need love.
Right now, my future’s so bright I gotta wear shades and there is still MUCH MUCH more to come in the near future! Check in with me often, you never know what you’ll come across!
I’ll end with the famous words of Rev Run “In life, God gives to the givers and takes from the takers”. Genius, pure freaking genius!
