Let's go to Hogwarts!

Shae took me to Universal for my birthday to play around and to see the Rich Weirdos/Sisters of Orlando shadow cast of "The Sound of Music" She knows my love for musicals! It was a blast!
So at Universal in Orlando they are hard at work building the Wizarding World of Harry Potter section of the park and I took some pictures of the progress! I can't wait to see everything, it is going to be a blast! AND I know I can convince Josh to go, Hogsmeade has their own beer!

Hogwarts, more majestic after editing out the Jurassic Park sign!



Snowy Hogsmeade, the only snow in Florida


Ministry Decree, this is serious stuff!


TTMT: ATC Spoilers

Another Tuesday passed and I was still having video issues :( So today when Josh decided to turn off the video games and do a quiet activity I thought I'd try my luck with Super. I have to change the formatting of the video files to work in Windows Movie Maker and I have been having trouble! So finally at midnight I got it to work and WMM accepted the video file! All was right and good with the world! So then I started to edit my video and all hope was lost. Some how when I was setting up my video camera on the tri-pod I hit the record button so there was a minute and a half of me fiddling around with my crafts and then about another minute of me playing with my hair and then when I *thought* I was pressing record I actually paused the unit and talked to myself for 6 minutes with nothing to show for it. After "recording" I changed into pajamas and got ready to edit! I was so sad to see three minutes of nothing! So instead of letting these electronics and my blond streak break my spirit, I jumped back on my horse and showed my crafts again, this time actually recording! So without further ado, redressed Laci with crappy hair (it looked so good the first time after fluffing for a minute, and I have the video to prove it!)

Fun and delayed craftiness...

Well look at that, I have already been neglecting my new blog! Not entirely on purpose though, I had a birthday and a serious amount of crafting as a result of said birthday. I want to share pictures and video but I am having a major video fail STILL! I recorded a Talk to me Tuesday video on Tuesday and I could not get the files encoded properly to be worked with in Microsoft Movie Maker blah blah blah. We have all had video fail, I am sure, but this is ridiculous! I have recorded the footage twice and reinstalled Super twice. So... I will leave you with some fun pictures and a promise of craftiness to follow shortly, I will make these programs work together whether they like it or not!

Here are two pictures of my fish tank, 70 gallon freshwater. See how my cutie Pacu has grown? The first one was taken about 10 months ago and the second was taken last week. The Kissing Gourami is still the same size!



There's a frog on the couch!! That happens in Florida springs and summers! The frogs are officially out and ready to play! They are always right outside the door this time of year because the big lights at my complex attract bugs. YUMMO!


And of course my husband Josh had to pose with the froggy, what a ham!

TTMT: Earth-friendly April

This is the first "Talk To Me Tuesday" I have recorded since starting this blog so I thought I'd start off right by posting this video here right away!

In this video I show my latest craft which I posted here yesterday, dinner napkins! These are "casual" cloth napkins made for my husband and myself for daily use. I plan on making bigger and fancier napkins for nicer occasions!

Next I show two of my family's Earth day projects, the compost pile and the herb garden, both started earlier on this month by mom and me!

At the end of the video are pictures of all my Earth-friendly crafts done this month! Enjoy!

I finally started a craft blog...

Hiya everyone! I decided to start this craft blog because I basically abandoned live journal and not everyone wants to watch my Talk To Me Tuesday videos every week to see my crafts! So, for this first entry I will show something I made last week that has not been featured in a vlog yet!

Dinner Napkins!


I am calling these "casual" dinner napkins because they are just cotton back and front and only 11" squares. But they work great and I am down to one roll of paper towels a month! Whoo the savings of green and green. Life is good! Mine are all different with contrasting back and front and Josh's are all the same with the San Francisco 49ers football fabric with black backs. Since mine are pretty, I'll give you a better view to see back and front!


So I will try to update this blog at least once a week, fingers crossed!
