My Days Lately

These days we have been spending a lot of our time at the rink. I love being there but I miss all of my blogger friends & reading your blogs. I don't like to talk about the kids a lot but this is a big deal. Both of our boys are going to Finals with hockey & it is super exciting. Holdyn our oldest son teams playing for the OMHA which is the all Ontario Title & they are also playing for there league title which is WOAA. Jakob's team is also in the Finals but they are local league & they only get to play for the WOAA title which is still really cool. I want to wish both teams good luck in there quest for gold. Hope your having a good week?

Saturday Where Did You Go???

Sat where did you go? Man this day just seem to fly by, last night I had my sister's kids for a sleepover a almost 2 year old, 8 year old, 10 year old, plus my own 2 which are 13, almost 8 oh & a husband with a double ear infection. So I will say I was a busy mama.lol. Hockey today for both boys, I had to work & do a couple hair cuts this morning & Jakob had a birthday party to go. But with all the craziness I stayed up late last night to answer your request for some of my recipes. To let you all know I now have a Recipe Page in my Header so you can get to my recipes easier. Hope you all had a great Saturday.

Exciting News

I got some very exciting news to share with all of you. I recently became a blogger & started following blogs as you all know & I have to say I am ADDICTED how could you not be with so many fun people to meet, learn from & really who doesn't love to learn new thing I know I do. With all the learning comes inspiration & from that I have decided to not only take new risk in what I fear or think is impossible but to remember that you can't fail if you don't try & if you don't try you can't fail which means you would never learn. Today I have decide to share a sneak peek with you on what soon will be my new adventure Miss Curly Sue...Shop. Yes that's right I said it I am going to start selling things I make for all of you to buy & enjoy. So here's a sneak peek of one of my main items I will be selling.

I have decided to start selling my "Headbands".

I have been making them for a while but just for myself. People have been asking me where they could buy them & you couldn't until Now. Coming soon from my door to yours.

This one is called "Tribal Daisy". This is my favorite one mainly because I am on a purple kick lately.

Sorry no one was home to help with the camera so the picture's here aren't as good as the other ones will be. So what did you think? That was just a sneak peek so much more to share with you & I better go get things finished up so I can start selling. Happy Friday everyone.

Hugs & Kisses Curly.

Feeling Purple...

Today is Something Purple day that's right folk I am going to share all things purple that I love. Between purple & green they are my 2 favorite colors. Purple makes me think Spring & I think that is why I love it so much. Enjoy.

This would be such a cute entryway to have I would love coming home & opening my door to this everyday.

There is something peaceful about this photo. Makes you want to have a cup of tea & read a good book. I know it's just pillows & flowers but it looks so cozy.

Every woman loves a great bag & what a cute bag to love.

The purple Hippo. Well it's just cute as can be. If I had a little girl she would own one for sure.

OMG!!!! I can't believe it I found my car & the crazy thing is it's the color I want.

This would be so cute for a little girls room. Sometime I think we should have had 3 kids & tried for that girl.

Nobody can can say no to treats but how cute is that lollipop.

Look at these pretties I found. It may seem crazy but I love these shoe if only we lived in Europe.

These vases would look great on a fireplace. I think I have decided that the new family will have touches of purple.

Finally the end a Purple Tulip my favorite flower in the world is tulips they are so pretty & smell like Spring. Enjoy.

Tile Coaster Tutorial

There's nothing better than a handmade gift. And what better way to celebrate than with some fun, festive coasters. These coasters are made from inexpensive tiles from the hardware store and are embellished with fun, designer scrapbook paper.

Make these coasters as a gift or make them for your home - either way, they are sure to get noticed!

Supplies:
4 square tiles from your local hardware store (4.25" x 4.25")
4 pieces of scrapbook paper (3.75" x 3.75")
4 pieces of felt (3.75" x 3.75")
Mod Podge
Sponge brush
Glue (i.e. Fabri-tac or other strong adhesive)
Clear acrylic sealer

1. Gather your supplies.

2. Brush one coat of Mod Podge onto tile.

3. Place one piece of paper on center of tile. Allow to dry.

4. Brush on another coat of mod podge on top of paper. Allow to dry 15 minutes and repeat 2-3 more times.

5. After mod podge is dry, take tiles outside and spray with clear acrylic sealer. Follow manufacturers instructions. The sealer makes these tile coasters water-resistant.
