Happy Valentines Day...Month!

I know I am two days late here, but why should we only celebrate a holiday on that one day. I mean who puts up their Christmas decorations on the 25th and takes it all down the next day? No we keep it up all month (or if your my family, start the day after Thanksgiving and keep it up till the New Year)

But anyways! Happy Valentines Month! Or Single Awareness!

And this lovely Valentines Was brought to me, to you by Jordan. Who by the way is having a valentine giveaway on her blog. Go check it out and show some V-Month Love!


So to start off, I am in two swaps this month. Love and Romance and Robots. Which I am excited about. I mean if you couldn't figure it out I am a little bit geeky on the inside and cute robots are a weakness.
I am almost done with my packages and I will take pictures and post them up here once my giftees receive this so as not to spoil the surprise. Also will do the same for their packages.Right now I'd like to share some amigurumi Cuteness I made!


Who likes mamegoma? I made this little guy for my January swap partner Holly. The pattern was for a regular seal. But to make him look more like the beloved mamegoma , when I was closing up his face I switched to a sea blue.And I didnt make the nose. Than added a cute face and (hard to tell in the webcam photo) Added some pinkish to his cheeks for the blush. I like he is pretty darn adorable for a first try! Want to make your own mamegoma? Click Here! Pattern is made by Suzy Alise.






This cutie I just loved! It was hard for me to give him away (he also went to Holly) I used the same blue as I did for the mamegomas mouth and it just looks amazing in person how bright and sweet he looks. Mr. Penguin is at a good home now and I will be sure to make a few more for my home! I am thinking a blue one again and a pink one too.. maybe lime green also? I just love bright colors! You can get this pattern for free from Lionbrand.com. All you need to do is sign up, which you should want to do with so many cute free patterns. Penguin Pattern


My next lovables will be posted soon with the love and robot theme. I may also make a few more in the spear time and will add them here for you to see.

Till then. xoxo

Etsy Round Up Part 2

So incase you didnt know. Etsy is pretty much amazing. So many great things by talented people. So here is my new round up of things that made me smile from Etsy.

First up is MouthyMitts with some amazing knits. These cute I [heart] nerd wrist warmers are a must have.Cute and detailed. Along with her cup cozy and other cute knits this is one of my favorite shops. Show off your nerd love with some knits from MouthyMitts

Next on my list is mymimi Who was a toy designer for many years until she decided to go independent. Her creations are so cute and well detailed. I seriously want to buy them all! Her pillows come to life. and with other kawaii items such as tic tac toe belt buckles and emoticon face pins there is really something for everyone. Child, teen or kid at heart adult. This shop is a must see for cute.

Another shop dear to my heart is TNZsculptures . She has many cute sculptures for a great price. Everything from Alice in wonderland, teenage mutant ninja turtles to tough cupcakes and "wiener dogs" very detailed and so cute. She does custom orders and I know you are just itching to ask her to make that perfect something to sit on your desk to watch your work.

The last on my list for today is alpinebutterfly and I have to admit it is pretty much just because of this cool recycled cat bed. I think it is the ultimate geek habitat for your favorite pet. And recycling is always A+ . This is super cute and will make any geek room chic.








I think I am starting to let my inner geek out with Etsy. But hey who isn't a little geek?

Snow Day IceCream

Hello friends. :)

Like many of you, we just had a new fresh snow leaving several inches of snow on the ground. I was looking at cheezburger.com and the inner site called Must Have Cute and found someone who blogged about having a snow Ice cream day. So decided to try it. Used fresh (still falling) snow from our patio railings and my 3 yr old nephew helped out. It is super easy. All you need it : Fresh snow, milk, sugar, something for taste (vanilla) and food coloring.

Here are a few pictures of my modeling nephew afterward.

 He wanted to mix all the colors in his..

Yummmmmmy :)





Needs more sprinkles....

Pretty yummy, but tip. If you put it back in the freezer, you can prob put it in less than an hour because it freezes pretty hard. Just add some more milk to soften it up.
