Super fun right :) I plan on making these amazing <a href="http://www.foodchannel.com/recipes/recipe/white-chocolate-martini/">white chocolate martinis</a> and calling them "White Swan Martinis" so of course I felt the need to create the black swan tutu to go along with it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Simply cut off about 12 inches of black tulle from a 6 inch roll (the kind they sell at the craft stores, usually in the bridal section), fold it over so it's now 3 inches by 12 inches, cut up and fringe about 1.5 inches about every inch to give it that "tutu" look, then stitch a running stitch along the top. Grab your glass, pull the stitch so it bunches up and tie it to secure it around your glass. I added a sparkly button with a few loose stitches...so fancy! You will be the hit of Oscar night with stylih tutu glass!</div>Tarynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13439188184838660900noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111372375651971306.post-85121100688359000172011-02-24T15:05:00.000-08:002011-02-24T15:06:49.739-08:00Refreshed...with games<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOg77wCpg7iY35lbsEQcPntl-8JyPbPIGG9TllCLXGMwvEaY0OJifhMSACaz16Mm8LRDU3TMuid6NSTS5CbqbDq_g8trUVh28vRrjuh_jSRi1B2K2AjXapuOJGIoK6q03c6F08RdPt-nA/s1600/retrocrafty+006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="395" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOg77wCpg7iY35lbsEQcPntl-8JyPbPIGG9TllCLXGMwvEaY0OJifhMSACaz16Mm8LRDU3TMuid6NSTS5CbqbDq_g8trUVh28vRrjuh_jSRi1B2K2AjXapuOJGIoK6q03c6F08RdPt-nA/s400/retrocrafty+006.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I've been MIA for a while here on my blog...I know. I guess I've been trying to figure out how to balance it all and give 100% to everything. Well turns out that's pretty hard! So I'm back now and totally refreshed :) I'm still rocking the retro glam coctail chic thing...and still loving it. However as a mom of 2 kids I've decided to also craft things for them, my boys could care less about hair flowers and flasks :) So I've been taking some time to do that and work it into my everyday work and crafting. I'll also be sharing a bunch of new ideas with you all...really fun stuff! First up a retro style wooden memory match game. I've been keeping one of these in my purse and my kids have been entertained time after time at doctors offices, restaurants, starbucks...<br />
<br />
Super easy to make - 1 inch wooden discs, one inch images circles (just search etsy, there's a ton) a one inch paper punch and a little mod podge. Cut glue, seal...easy peasy lemon squeezy!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Instead of wearing one of those awful tin foil looking tiaras this New Years Eve make yourself a quick glam hair accessory! The crafts stores have a fabulous selection of feathers and even some of these large feather pads lately. All you need is an old sparkly earring, a feather pad, a hair clips and some glue. Poke the earring through the feathers, bend the post over so it doesn't poke you and hot glue a hair clip or hair comb to the back! You can whip this up in no time and I guarantee you will be the best accessorized lady at the stroke of midnight!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I clearly underestimated the popularity of a mustache on a stick. Last night I was set up at the Holiday Artist Market downtown and instead of having a candy treat at my table for the holiday festivites I decided to make a bunch of "Stache on a Stick" fun to giveaway. Well holy moly...the town went mustache crazy. I had heards of folks rushing my table asking if I was "the mustache girl" which was both cute and odd at the same time! Everyone wanted a free litttle stache and I was out of them 2 hours into the night :) Needless to say the world is a much funnier place when you're town is wearing mustaches on sticks all night long.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a fun holiday idea! I always try to think of new handmade gifts for my family and friends (they can only get so many flasks and retro flowers you know) and this year some of the lucky sewing girls will be receiving these little cupcake pincushions. They are a snap to make and look so sweet! Take some small bowls (these are from Pier 1 Imports), leftover scrap fabric or felt, a handfull of poly-fil stuffing and pretty ribbons and make your own cute little pincushions for your friends and family! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<br />
I just adore the “Emma Pillsbury” look from the show “GLEE” and here’s a super simple way to make those fabulous vintage style sweater clips for yourself!<br />
<br />
You’ll need – a pair of fabulous clip on earrings, approx 5 inches of chain and jewelry pliers<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg13dPpiw06gSq0rMAb7jX_eW6-y1w2wId2szyz2BIeq2k4LOuqDCwL9d64B1Y71bnmaGv33-n3Dpm0JKCDT8Z57lhh2i7fvTx6nTjsEQe5lhrUCTTsSV0YNjoKdUhdePFqIG3MXbTj3g8/s1600/emmatute1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg13dPpiw06gSq0rMAb7jX_eW6-y1w2wId2szyz2BIeq2k4LOuqDCwL9d64B1Y71bnmaGv33-n3Dpm0JKCDT8Z57lhh2i7fvTx6nTjsEQe5lhrUCTTsSV0YNjoKdUhdePFqIG3MXbTj3g8/s400/emmatute1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Step 1- Open up one end of the chain and attach it to the back of the clip on earring<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEUDiZ5vLCukoIjaunXEeqY3V1sxrM0Og5qStWkQLkBnZaI5kgLdg8hno7Pk0G2MIozpKXabhm6Qmf0xWEwRPQ8Hq1uQnivbCKFnp6zAGNlVtU6UIAk5gOD1Wc9MyabfapMlD_f-SdPWQ/s1600/emmatute2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEUDiZ5vLCukoIjaunXEeqY3V1sxrM0Og5qStWkQLkBnZaI5kgLdg8hno7Pk0G2MIozpKXabhm6Qmf0xWEwRPQ8Hq1uQnivbCKFnp6zAGNlVtU6UIAk5gOD1Wc9MyabfapMlD_f-SdPWQ/s400/emmatute2.jpg" width="391" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Repeat with the other side <br />
<br />

I am in LOVE with her style and I am now adding some accessories to my shop which are totally inspired by her look!<br />
<br />
I'm starting with sweater clips...omg how much do I love these. You can make your own super easy with a pair of clip on earrings and a little bit of chain but I am adding my fabulous fabric flowers and vintage rhinestone to the clips in my <a href="http://www.poppychicdesigns.com/product/galm-sweater-clip">shop</a>.<br />
<br />
More Emma goodies to come!<br />

So many fun, tasty and easy recipes there...check it out!<br />
Seriously tastes like a creamsicle...so yummy!<br />
<br />
Ingredients: <br />
<br />
4 oz. diet orange soda, room temperature <br />
<br />
1.5 oz. orange-flavored vodka (like Smirnoff Twist of Orange) <br />
<br />
1.5 oz. Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup<br />
<br />
1 tbsp. Cool Whip Free <br />
Directions: <br />
<br />
Place all ingredients in a martini shaker, but DO NOT shake (or the carbonated soda will explode!). Mix thoroughly with a spoon until mixture is mostly lump-free. Add about 1 cup ice (crushed, if you've got it), and stir until mixture is cold. Then place the strainer on top and pour into a large martini glass. Enjoy! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's no big secret that Martha Stewart is amazing...and if you haven't played with her product line (Available at Micheals Craft Store) you're missing out! The brilliantly crafty folks over at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia can totally rock a holiday like Halloween...but with their products so can you! Think outside of the box and be creative. I'm making these halloween happy hour flasks as favors for our halloween party this year. A mix of Martha Stewart papers, glitter, borders and jewels make these super festive and totally fun. Hope my guests like them!</div>Tarynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13439188184838660900noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111372375651971306.post-36877929543416034692010-09-15T06:13:00.000-07:002010-09-15T06:13:26.780-07:00Guy Time<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsxjs5lwNH-DWOp5iRBJJc3E9gkMdwd1YIb4ofHP0AXCxQykaaTKIKtvNaZV1wF4bi6FscylTZEbzexPKEFaeuKyOz8I8UwlBtYVpF4Vb9RYZDMmxKRkOm_YVt_u-iAyRg4TL2_rP1fME/s1600/retro+dude+money+clip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsxjs5lwNH-DWOp5iRBJJc3E9gkMdwd1YIb4ofHP0AXCxQykaaTKIKtvNaZV1wF4bi6FscylTZEbzexPKEFaeuKyOz8I8UwlBtYVpF4Vb9RYZDMmxKRkOm_YVt_u-iAyRg4TL2_rP1fME/s400/retro+dude+money+clip.jpg" width="392" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Okay so when in reality I'm going to Chuckie Cheese tonight with my hubby and my little guys, in my fantasy I'm going out with the girls for a Bon Jovi concert (at which point Bon Jovi will call me onstage and sing to me and profess his love...a girl can dream right?). This is a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/54259985/girls-night-out-kit-retro-flask-pocket">little kit</a> I've designed for such occasion, or just a calm girls night with friends. Complete with a girly flask, retro double sided mirror and mini glam hair pin...with these tools who wouldn't have a fun night! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
