Handmade Dresses Giveaway!

Click on the image to view the full size. You guys must have at least one little girl in your life that wears (or will wear) a size 4T-5T! So as many of you know, I used to run a small handmade dress shop on Etsy (under GrowingUpwCharissa and minimooh). Charissa has long outgrown her love of wearing dresses, and I am finally ready to part with the remaining "originals". Instead of allowing them to occupy precious closet space in hopes that Charissa will relinquish her obsession with Hello Kitty shirts that are always 2 sizes too small, I'm going to give them away. To enter, you (or your minions) must submit a piece of 6x6 artwork to Rochester Contemporary Art Center (visit http://www.roco6x6.org/ for submission guidelines and form.) It is a unique (and free! minus shipping costs) opportunity to create something and have it displayed and up-for-sale at a real art gallery! So to enter: 1. Create a piece of 6x6 art. 2. Pack it up for shipping and then take a picture of the package. 3. Post your picture on my timeline, private message me the picture, or email me the picture. 4. Gain additional entries/chances by sharing this giveaway on FB and leave a comment here or on my FB page (http://www.facebook.com/mhjenniferho)letting me know that you did so. Deadline is April 20th. The dresses pictured in the photo are the ones you will receive if you should win. I will order all the entries via time stamp and use a random number generator to select. Okay. That's it. :)

The Letter of the Day is...

"F" is for Five Guys... Fall... Family...

...Flowers...

...Fluffies...

...and Fighting!

After much deliberation, the kids decided to be ninjas for Halloween. 'Tis a busy mother's dream come true with only belts and sword-sticks to make and easily re-wearable-store-bought hoodies, pants, and ski mask.

A menacing lot with a one-eyed bandit...

...an undercover model...

...and a mischievous charmer...

Fighting. It's a dangerous thing.

Especially when words are in play. So I made some guidelines for all to follow:

Good reminder. Even for the adults :) If only relationships were always this pleasant...

And if you're keen on making the felt flower wreath, here is a quick visual tutorial... just in time for my irregular "Try it Tuesdays" post:

Felt Floral Wreath Tutorial

(You will also need glue dots or hot glue.)

Super quick and easy.

Ta da!

Try it Tuesdays - Scrappy Multi-Media Centerpieces

Glucophage Cost, This past Saturday, I hosted a "green-eco-friendly-health-conscious-spring-themed" baby shower for a good friend of mine.

Along with 17 adults that included husbands, we had 18 children ranging from 2 to 12 years romping around in the basement and in our backyard (insert shout-out to our awesome youth group babysitters!)

To go along with our eco-friendly theme, Glucophage recreational, I whipped up some canvas tote-bags... Glucophage cost,

...complete with pear and watermelon-flavored jellybeans in a jar and clear Christmas ornaments filled with moss...

Note: Another wonderful friend of mine put these together. We originally intended for them to be hung somewhere but realized afterwards they were too heavy, Glucophage interactions. The little metal cap kept on pulling off from the weight, Glucophage Cost. I found them to sit perfectly in some tea-light holders. Glucophage over the counter,

...and tossed together some scrappy "multi-media" centerpieces:

Coupled with a branch found on the side of the road and Christmas ornaments:

If you have some crafty scraps lying around and are looking for ways to welcome spring, here is a quick tutorial:

6, Glucophage australia, uk, us, usa. ...until you reach the end. Then dab some hot glue.., Glucophage Cost. Purchase Glucophage,
7. ...and press down to secure.
8. Do this for all your fabric spirals.
9, where can i order Glucophage without prescription. Push a straight pin through the center of each flower...
10. ...and pin them to the cardboard.

4. Then with needle and thread, where can i buy Glucophage online, string them together to form a mini garland:

This would look neat too with multi-colored hole punches. Perhaps for something really festive.

Oh yeah, and if you look closely at that last picture, you'll be able to spot my half-finished project...

Hint: I'm not trying to set a new trend with a two-tone sectional ;) Yeah. Crazy me decided to re-upholster my really-icky-abused-by-all-sorts-of-kid-fluids-what-was-I-thinking-with-a-light-colored-microfiber sectional. Hopefully, I'll finish it by the end of the week.

Order Cipro, It was fun using paper lanterns from my wedding eight years ago and gluing rows and rows of ruffles... Cipro over the counter,

There were dresses...

flowers.., buy no prescription Cipro online. Cipro photos,

Anyway, I kept a few of the ruffled lanterns and clustered them together to hang over the crib in the guest room:

Our guest room (a.k.a. "the sticker room") is nearly complete, with the exception of a wardrobe or chest of some sort...

Oh right. Thanks for all the comments (both on FB and here) on your opinions (or rather affirmations) on the chalkboard wall :) Here is another shot/attempt in getting the entire wall into the picture. Perhaps I should figure out how to take a panoramic photo...

Not quite...

...old enough for a "nice" group shot:

But perfectly fitting in regards to a real-life portrait :) (Pictured here with their god siblings Cipro Price, ). Order Cipro from mexican pharmacy,

When Charissa was two, I bought a half-gallon of perler beads with this crazy notion that it would be a good "bonding" craft to do with her, Cipro for sale. Cheap Cipro no rx, Yeah. It is a good bonding craft, Cipro long term, Cipro no rx, just not at two when their chubby fingers are more likely to grab a handful to stick in their mouth. (It's colorful, purchase Cipro online no prescription. Like candeee!)

Anyway, I had to wait two more years before finally living this mother-daughter fantasy of mine, Cipro Price. Cipro cost,

We started off just filling in the different shapes with random colors:

(Fingers are still chubby :) )Then decided to attempt a more thematic approach, namely, Cipro mg, Is Cipro safe, anything that was round:

She did some, I did some, Cipro dosage. Cipro interactions, It took us 2 weeks to complete. (And in that two weeks, where can i cheapest Cipro online, Japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, I sorted the entire half gallon of beads. I counted 30 different colors.., about Cipro. Cipro brand name, Hmmm... I think I'm beginning to exhibit some OCD traits...) Anyway, here are the "round" things we came up:

We hot-glued them onto a piece of board (the back of a broken picture frame), and voila. Perler bead art. To commemorate quality time spent with one another :).

Tramadol No Rx, Try it. Tuesdays - A place for everything and everything in its place...

Perfect last minute gift/addition for the type-A mother in your life (myself included):

For this 10 minute project, we'll be using placemats... Tramadol blogs, get it. A PLACEmat to help with having a PLACE for everything.... I know. Cheesy title, Tramadol No Rx. I just can't help myself, where can i cheapest Tramadol online.

During my craft show last month, I met a lady selling these purse organizers made from placemats. Order Tramadol from mexican pharmacy, Genius. Seriously cuts down on time and perhaps even cost. I thought about buying one from her since I've been mulling over getting the purseket Tramadol No Rx, for a while... but hey. If this lady can whip one up with a placemat, Tramadol street price, I'm sure I can figure it out. My version is a little bit different. Order Tramadol no prescription, It has pockets on both sides:

And can easily "connect" together to condense the length:

And most importantly, functions in my big ol' purse:

Here's how I did it:

1. Buy/use a placemat, Tramadol No Rx. I got mine at Target for $2.99.

2. With the wrong/inner side facing up...

3, Tramadol overnight. fold the placemat in half, length-wise. Tramadol from canadian pharmacy, Crease with an iron... Tramadol No Rx, or if you're lazy like me, with your fingers.

4. Open up the placemat and fold one (long) side up to the crease you just made (in origami terms, we are making a book fold.)

5. Crease and pin in place.

6, about Tramadol. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the other side.

7. With a pencil (or something washable), lightly draw a line half-inch from each side edge, Tramadol No Rx. Taking Tramadol,

8. Using the line you just drew as the starting point, draw 4 more lines; The first three should be 4 inches apart, and the fourth line should be 3 inches from the previous line, Tramadol australia, uk, us, usa. (Obviously, you can adjust the size of these pockets to your own needs.)

9. Buy Tramadol no prescription, Cut a 4-inch piece of 1/4" elastic and loop it like so:

10. Tramadol No Rx, Place it between the two "flaps" on one of the sides, making sure the ends fall in the path of the 1/2" line you dres in step 7.

11. Straight stitch down the 1/2" line, securing the elastic as you go, get Tramadol. I stitched the line twice to make it more secure by lifting the presser foot at the end and turning the mat 180.

12. Stitch along the remaining lines.., Tramadol No Rx. Buy cheap Tramadol,

13. This is what it should look like:

14. Now fold the whole thing in half, length-wise:

15, buy Tramadol without a prescription. And you are pretty much done, say for a large button of some kind:

That's it. Purchase Tramadol, The bottom is "open" on purpose to accommodate bulky items that will naturally push the sides out. You could sew the bottom shut, but I found that made the pockets a bit too tight for ease of putting and pulling out your items.

Kinda nifty :) And since they contain your most important items, switching bags is a breeze; Just take it out and plop it in the new bag. Not more forgotten wallets or checkbooks.

Tramadol Over The Counter, Try it. Canada, mexico, india, Tuesdays - Mason Jar Knock-Offs

Isn't this calendar so cool?. Another angle:

Calvin was bugging me to print him a calendar for his room, online Tramadol without a prescription. Herbal Tramadol, So naturally, I went to The Curiosity Group, Tramadol results, Effects of Tramadol, the place to get the coolest, most unique, Tramadol class, Tramadol coupon, and FREE pieces of functional art.

Anyway, Tramadol from canada, Cheap Tramadol, onto today's post...

I've been eying these porcelain mason jars from designer Alyssa Ettinger for a while now:

But seeing how they look like mason jars.., Tramadol Over The Counter. well, Tramadol description, After Tramadol, you know, I just had to try a DIY considering we have sooo many of these, Tramadol online cod. Tramadol dosage,

I've seen people paint/coat the inside of mason jars with latex paint. Beautiful, where can i buy cheapest Tramadol online, Tramadol used for, but still looks like glass. I decided the only way to make them look more pottery-like was to paint the outside. Tramadol Over The Counter, Nothing fancy. Or glamorous. But these would make cute rustic vases for all those flowers coming on May 8th ;)

Not much explaining to do here. I used one of these bottles to cover all three jars:

The key to covering glass with paint is to use a sponge applicator and sort of stamp/dab the paint on. Using a conventional brush is futile. You end up just moving the paint around the glass, Tramadol Over The Counter. (I supposed you could prime the glass first. But that's like another step... and would cost more...)

It's not seamlessly smooth like the porcelain version, but it does give it some texture to fake a stoneware look.

Oh yes. Be sure to wait for the paint to dry completely before applying additional coats. I did a total of three.

And I'm not even selling my services to recreate or install anything of the like, Tramadol overnight.
