Craft it Thursday

What I'm working on now and the next few days:

This is wear I'll talk about what I am working on for the upcoming week or so.  I have a lot of ideas in mind.  Probably won't get to them all, but I'll try.  I'll also post pictures of projects recently completed.

First up is what is done:

I made a super warm and soft head band for my daughter (left) and a star pillow (right) inspired by the Star on "The Goodnight Show" on Sprout.  She loves both!  I want to make my own headband...when I find the time.:)

A week or two ago I made these cute little monster tooth fairy pillows for my cousin's sons.  She requested motorcycles and colors red, black, green, or yellow and this is hat I came up with.  I love them!  The mouth is open in the middle and acts as a pocket for tooth and money from the tooth fairy.  My son has a blue and green one and my daughter a pink one of course...it is her favorite color.

Then, lots of dryer balls...hand dyed this time.  I have a lot of fun dying up different colors.

There were a few other projects but I don't have time to post them all.  I made a candy land lap blanket, a few totes, and a few zippered pouches.  

Today I am going to dye up some dryer balls, finish up a long skinny scarf/cowl, and cut fabric for some cute new skirts.

This week I want to finish at least 3 scarves, cut and sew up a few skirts and then start on some tie tees for the holidays.  

My goal for the next few months will be building up stock for craft shows and my online store The Green Belle Shop by Shelly Rose, and my Etsy Store.

That's about it for now...until next time.  Have a great day and happy crafting!

Tuesday's Top Ten

~Tuesday's Top Ten List~

Since it is so very close to Halloween...

My top ten list of scary movies:

*Note*  I haven't watched many if any scary movies since before I had kids so these will be oldies but goodies.

*In no particular order and I could have added at least 10-20+ more.  Maybe that'll be a list for next week...:)

1. The Sixth Sense ((1999)  Quote:  "I see dead people."
2. Psycho (1960)  Quote:  "She just goes a little mad sometimes.  We all go a little mad sometimes."  
3. The Ring (2002)  Quote: "Before you die, you see the ring..."
4. The Shining (1990)  Quote:  "Heeeeer's Johnny!" and "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
   
5. Night of the Living Dead (1968) Quote:  "They're coming to get you, Barbara!  They're coming for you!  Look, there's one of them now!"
6. Poltergeist (1982)  Quote:  "They're heeeere!"
7. Jaws (1975)  Quote:  "You're going to need a bigger boat."
8. Saw (2004)  Quote:  "Live or die, make your choice."
9. Silence of the Lambs (1981)  Quote:  "It puts the lotion on it's skin."
10. Friday the 13th (1980)  Quote:  "Look what you did to him--look what you did to him!"

What's your favorite?  What do you think should be on my list that I missed.  It was really hard to narrow it down to ten.  Since I haven't watched any really scary movies in the last 10 years or so what are a few good ones that are more recent.  What movies are you looking forward to that are coming out this Halloween season or has just come out?  Let me know...I may just get an urge to watch something scary once the kids go to bed...:)  

Have a great day!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Monday Monday Coffee Break

Monday Morning Coffee Break

The mail basket.  This is all shipping today!

Good morning!  It is Monday morning yet again.  You know that day that comes around every 7 days and most of us dread because it means you have to go back to work and or school.  Well, I love Mondays.  Well, mostly I love Mondays.  I love getting back on track with a set schedule for the day.  The kids are in school and I can focus on my blogs (which needs attention...I know, I know:) and my business The Green Belle Shop by Shelly Rose.  The only part I don't care for is getting up at 5:30 am!  But, what can you do.  Someone has to get up and get the kids ready for school.

So to get back on track.  I am making myself blog *hopefully every day.  To do this I am going to have a similar blog every week for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and so on.  Here is my list so far--subject to change of course:)

Monday=Monday Morning Coffee Break
  *A brief little post telling you about my weekend or maybe new items coming soon to my shop, or maybe just some ramblings from me.  I can ramble well!

Tuesday=Top Ten Tuesday
  *A Top Ten list of some of my favorite things.  Can be anything and everything is possible.

Wednesday=Wear it Wednesday
  *A post on what I am wearing that day or how to style (though I am not a pro-stylist by any means.:) an item or other.

Thursday=Craft it Thursday
 *A post on how to craft it or what I want to craft new.  Sometimes a tutorial with pics if I am feeling really bloggy (that's not a word, but I think it should be).

Friday=Freebie Friday
 *Yeh!  Someone will get something for free with a purchase made that day.  Random draw of course.  Make sure check it out!

Saturday and Sunday/Weekend=What I'm reading this Weekend
 *Exactly what it says above.  I will talk about what I am reading this weekend.  Could be a book, could be the newspaper, could be a menu, or just a label if I really have no time.


Here is a few items I am working on or mailing out today...

A cute little tie onsie being mailed today.

What I'm working on today--a Rope Scarf

So, what do you think?  Like it?  I think this will help me keep on track a bit more and share my ideas with you.  Let me know if you want to hear about anything special!

Have a great Monday everyone.
