Lazy Sunday...


I have had the most relaxing & enjoyable weekend...And as a result of that, I got a bit lazy with the "Yowza! It's the Featured Sunday Artist..." segment. I'm sure you'll forgive me. So, today it's gonna be a mish-mash of doo-dads.

First of all, I spent yesterday with my sis having lunch, shopping & sipping cold coffee drinks for about 4 hours straight! And, kidless! It was my Nikki time you see....For lunch we had Tomato Bisque soup, Spicy Chicken & Cilantro Salad, Warm & Cheesy filled breadsticks, & Caribbean Iced Tea...Of course when I'm out shopping, I hardly pick up anything for myself. I'm always getting goodies & gadgets for my fam & friends. I happened to find some really cute stuff for my cupcake swap buddy too! No revealing yet. Wah!

And here's a funny story just for you...You know how when you are a kid (or even an adult!) & you lay in the grass & look up at the clouds & try to create some sort of object from the puffy white masses? Like, "Oh look! There's a giraffe!" or "I see a flower!" Well, this morning my girls & I were in the car, waiting for daddy--& my girls were saying, "Oh look! I see a dinosaur! Look at the dinosaur, mommy!" I couldn't figure out where they were seeing any clouds because our driveway sits under a heavy covering of trees. Then, I realized they were seeing shapes from the white masses of---bird poop splattered all over our van!! HAHA! Isn't that gross & clever, all at the same time???? I guess I'll be getting the van washed today!

I finished one of the fabulous vintage aprons I scooped up at the thrfty store last week. I decided to start with my favorite "hip granny" apron. I completed this project while watching a really dumb movie last night. Dumb movies & craftiness go GREAT together! It turned out really cute!! I used a really large cupcake shape & my dwindling stash of vintage pink buttons. Although, I was able to increase my pink button count by quickly scooping up a bag of pink buttons that Tacky Tiffany was selling. They are so awesome!! Most of them are Button Ring bound. The apron should be in the shop soon.

And lastly, I am SUPER, SUPER pleased that my "Mini Tag Banner--CUPCAKES" is getting constant views in the shop!! I am going to work on another banner. But, what word should I do? I was thinking "CREATE" or "LAUGH" or "SILLY" or "FAMILY". Leave a comment & let me know what you think. You can write your own word, it doesn't have to be one of those 4 just mentioned. Oh, & what color combo too?

**Swim lessons start tomorrow! Yikes.

Hope you've had a lovely lazy Sunday as well...

  2. What about WELCOME to be hung in an entryway. Or UNWIND to be hung in a bedroom or other place for relaxation. Hang a REFRESH banner in a powder room.

  3. Love the apron Niki!!! What about CRAFT for a banner. I love the one in the shop. I almost have your cards done but it may be a few days, I'm still in Harry Potter Haze.
