This weekend we took a little trip to the beach in Jacksonville. It was way windy because it had just stormed and I was so disappointed because I couldn't wait to take some decent photos of my princess in her posh new suit. Instead all I got were these crummy ones in the house. :-( She thought she was oh so cute once I put her in the mirror, but quickly lost interest once TMNT came on. </div>

Well you may or may not know, but I have really gotten into creating clothing, mostly children's (more specifically girls) and I've decided to start a business separate from Haute & Posh to sell clothing and accessories. I have a name, but I'm not ready to share until I purchase the DBA for it. Below is my cutie pie niece Anna in a skirt and embellished top I made her when she visited for a month in March.<br />

I also took the photos, I'm beginning to think I'm a Photo Hobbyist. Photography definitely excites me, but I think more on a personal level, like a I-am-just-playing-around-with-a-camera-type-of-way. Here is my daughter in her mama exclusive romper. She's not as easy to shoot ans my niece, who's a little ham. I loved the colors of the fabric so bright and summery. I made both outfits using patterns from <a href="http://www.createkidscouture.com/" target="_blank">Create Kids Couture</a>. If you sew or are thinking about trying they have a wonderful sewing community on Facebook that you can join <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/createkidscouturepatterns/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />

"A new business?" you might say. "Did you have a business before that?", well yes, I do. I own <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HauteandPosh" target="_blank">Haute & Posh Designs</a> where I design digital and printable paper goods like invitations, announcements, flyers and brochures, but I also make and sell event decor and provide styling services. A friend of mine calls it my "Party Hustle".<br />
<br />
The same way that Yoga is really about breathing, my business is really about creating experiences. I believe that through detail and personal <br />
touches an event is a well designed life experience. Also, I like to create modern fairytales: beautiful clothes and parties and special occasions and elegant invitations. I sort of try to live in one myself. I very much have a passion for crafting and I would like to turn that passion into something where I can be happy doing something I love, but still provide for my family.<br />

How has that been working out you say? Honestly, not very well. I have a tendency to put more into a project/request than is possible to profit from; by letting my client give me an impossibly low price that limits the spectacular-ness that I can give them. The only other problem is when I charge what I need to I get less interest in my services, but I have come to the conclusion that I just need to make better stuff! It's not you or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/hauteandposh" target="_blank">my fans</a> or maybe not even me: it's my resources... As a start-up I have very few resources and that's where I have to get creative, which I think I've done so look for some pretty little things to come from me around the fall. :-)<br /></div>

I have come so far from the first giveaway I ever did on this blog. As a matter of fact my page has come so far; from an extension of this blog it has grown and so have I as an individual, a business woman, and everything in between. My crafts have gone from hobbies to becoming polished pieces of who I am and what I do, but enough of the deep soul searching growth and maturity....on with the goodies! <br />
I have been blessed to find (and sometimes coerce) a great group of individuals to part with some of their<br />
wonderful products and services for my awesome fans! The celebration will run Friday September 14th - Friday September 28th at Midnight EST. Good luck everyone!!

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bell MT","serif";">I am calling out to any and everyone for this project I have been wanting to do and bring to fruition. I very much want my brand and myself to be impactful to something besides consumerism so I am championing a cause that really heats up in October: Breast Cancer Awareness. I was contacted on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/hauteandposh" target="_blank">facebook page</a> by someone in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Leon County, FL and came to realize this could be so much bigger than I had even imagined. After reading the story in September's Newsletter I've decided to take it up a notch, so the information is as follows.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bell MT","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bell MT","serif";">Breast Cancer Awareness model call info:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bell MT","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Similar to my last model call the photos will be used
for product advertising for my business Haute & Posh Designs (formerly Creative
Hobbies and Designs). I am looking for models of all ages. I especially welcome
any Fighters and Survivors of Breast Cancer and would absolutely love a
multi-generational family of models. <span style="color: #ff0066;">The tutu sets,
tutus, and shirts will be Breast Cancer Awareness themed</span>. Each model
will receive a custom made tutu, tutu set or shirt (males and females). There
will be a professional photo shoot in groups and individually so that I have
images to use for advertising on my website, Etsy, Facebook page, etc. Models
will pay a fee so that I may cover the costs of
production and photography, but of course will get to keep the item(s) as they are made to fit the model. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: #ff0066; font-family: "Bell MT","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">These are also charity
items; half of the profit from the actual sale (not model purchases unless funds exceed production costs) of these
items will go to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Leon County, FL. There is
a BCA walk Oct. 21<sup>st</sup> and these items would be awesome for a team
participating. If you’d like more information on how to sign up, donate, or
volunteer please visit <a href="http://www.putonyourpinkbra.com/leon">http://www.putonyourpinkbra.com/leon</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bell MT","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
always, models will have the opportunity to purchase prints/images from the
photographer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/HobbiesandEvents">Haute and Posh Designs</a>
and <a href="http://www.smartlookphotography.com/">Smart Look Photography</a>
retain all copyrights of the images and each model is required to sign a model
release PRIOR to the shoot. <span style="color: #ff0066;">The photo shoot itself is
scheduled for the weekend of September 29th. </span>At this time Haute and Posh
Designs is tentatively providing a free print to each model. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This is subject to change as we move
forward.</i></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bell MT","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">If
you have any other questions at all please feel free to ask and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">if you are interested in this opportunity
please email hobbiesandevents@yahoo.com with the model’s name, a recent photo, age and clothing sizes. Multiple models
can be submitted in one email.</b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bell MT","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">If you are not local to the Tallahassee area, this opportunity is still available to you, but You must arrange to have your own shoot or professional quality photos made and uploaded to me by Monday Oct. 1st.</span></div>

Well I started a Facebook fan page for my new DBA (doing business as) <a href="http://www.facebook.com/hauteandposh" target="_blank">Haute & Posh Designs</a>. I finally just bit the bullet and created my logo which was part of the hold up.<br />
<br />
I'm aiming to upgrade my business and create more couture and designer styled events and items. I don't have a website as of yet but my fan page is already at 700+ fans after only a week of posting! Of course I owe it to two HUGE giveaways that I donated my design services to as a prize. <a href="http://www.createkidscouture.com/" target="_blank">Create Kids Couture</a>'s 8,000 Fan Celebration already ended, but keep an eye on them as they publish free tutorials and patterns every week in addition to selling fabulous clothing patterns. You can check them out on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/createkidscouture" target="_blank">here</a> and online <a href="http://www.createkidscouture.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. The other is with <a href="http://www.poshlittlepeople.com/" target="_blank">Posh Little People</a> and is going on through September 8th look for the post and a chance to win <a href="https://www.facebook.com/poshlittlepeople" target="_blank">here</a>. I have to say I love to order from PLP whenever I can; they sell brands like Mud Pie and Bonnie Jean who make adorable little dresses and outfits that actually fit Kirin well.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I digress, to celebrate making 200 fans I gave away this handmade headband. Sorry for the crappy pics. I actually took them with my phone and doctored them up because I can't find my SD card. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For reaching 500 fans I gave away a $25 shop credit and then I decided I made a free printable Happy Birthday Banner to share with my fans for being so great already. Of course that includes you lovely people as well so here's the<a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3G2ThdDsN5UVUVyVjNGNEx4SzA" target="_blank"> link for the download.</a> it's a PDF google doc. I realized that it would fit any of the themes below and could even be adapted to your own unique party theme. Of course what's a banner without a personalized name and matching invitations, labels, and decor? That's where I come in...or not, but this banner really will work and so I'm sure a lot of people could get some use from it. SO SHARE! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Share it with your friends, neighbors and anyone else who might benefit from it. I just ask three things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Take a picture and tag <a href="http://www.facebook.com/hauteandposh" target="_blank">Haute and Posh</a> on facebbok or post pics to the wall if you do </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Please refer them to the link via one of my pages, that way I can see that people are really getting use from it and I can offer more freebies in the future.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. ENJOY! : -) </div>

Yay, boring post about me and my life, ha ha.....ha. Ok moving on, these past weeks I did lots! I wrote 5 short stories and a paper for my fiction class, read a novel for Amer. Lit, rough sketched a logo for a client and have been haggling back and forth with this one girl about the cost of her centerpieces. That's another post entirely that I totally intend to write. I have had decomposed Minnie Mouse and Rainbow Bright in my "craft room" for like 2 weeks and they are tired of being cloth zombies; it's time to make the costumes and ship them off. Also, I have been trying to get a job, like a GOOD job with benefits and a salary. I had a callback, but no callback form the callback and then another call back so, I will be<strike> harassing</strike> following up with them next week.<br />
<br />
Fun stuff: I taught my daughter to eat an ice cream cone, you know the ones you can get for under a buck and eat the cone. Oh the many gems of parenthood, that was so enjoyable. I made cinnamon rolls which were a disaster I should've shared, I created my NEW logo (very excited) and I finally finished all my classes.<br />
<br />
SO... tired, but I will finally have time to catch up on everything, or as much of everything as I can fit in 2 weeks because GUESS WHAT fall semester starts back Aug. 27th oh joy.<br />
<br />
So I have a lot to do and blog, my windows still need curtains, I still have costumes to sew, giveaways to be in, training pants to make, a disaster to share and some really good recipes, and cleaning to do (but I won't be blogging about that). Oh, and I launched my new FB fan page, even though it's still under construction. You can visit it <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Haute-Posh-Designs/363569530363119" target="_blank">here</a> and if you never went to my original fan page it is<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hobbiesandevents" target="_blank"> here</a>. I plan to make the old one a part of this blog eventually. Like I said I have a ton to do so if you will excuse me I am about to take a nap before I get started.</div>Teronia Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08143870197080497218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826482738490014742.post-29244039996172393792012-07-10T17:01:00.000-04:002012-07-10T17:01:44.312-04:00Daisy Bug Designs Free Dress & Necklace Giveaway<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<b>UPDATE: Long's decided to change their website and actually published different photos from my boudoir session. Unfortunately for me they are the ones where I am smiling, boo... hiss...</b><br />
<br />Anyway, if you want to get a look see here is the <a href="http://www.longsphotography.com/portraits2011/boudoir1/" target="_blank">link</a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally! I'd like to talk about my <a href="http://www.longsphotography.com/category/boudoir-portraits/" target="_blank">boudoir photos</a> that were taken by Linda of <a href="http://www.longsphotography.com/" target="_blank">Long's Photography</a>. They are local to Tallahassee and I have to say...AWESOME!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found Long's on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Longs-Photography/23246563363" target="_blank">facebook</a> and liked their page. Linda posted a model call, I emailed some pics and she chose me. I was so worried and stressed about my mommy parts, but too lazy to do anything about it in the ten days I had before the shoot. I almost rescheduled, but they were a Father's Day gift for Dez so I had to press on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have to say, I had a FANTASTIC time. Linda is so warm, made me laugh and very feel comfortable. It was like talking to a good friend except you're almost naked and they are making you contort your body like an audition for Cirque de Soleil. </div>

I only have hard copies so I was waiting for her to post them for you to see. I am the black girl, in case you haven't figured it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took a lot of pretty pics in the white, but those are the only two she added, so that's all you get. Except for this one, that I bootlegged (forgive me Linda).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though I was excited, I was still worrying how sexy my stretchmarks were going to be, but I trusted her to photoshop all the mommy parts for me and the photos came out great!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did look closely at the larger ones the other day and you actually CAN
see my mommy stripes if you look closely enough. But I still look smokin
so whatevs, lol, Justin Bieber. Sad, I had to spell check his name.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I ended up with about forty-four to choose from on four different backgrounds. We narrowed it down to twenty and I got a really nice 5x7 album of them and also three 11x14" prints to hang above our bed.</div>

They even came already prettily packaged and I was able to refrain from mentioning them to Dez before he got off of work. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I would say if you are thinking about doing this for your significant other or even for yourself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>DO IT! DON'T WAIT!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't wait until you lose weight or go on a diet or workout. You will be amazed how sexy you look and feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And unless you have some douche bag self-esteem killer for a mate, I guarantee they will love it!</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say he loved them and we lived happily ever after. The End.</h4>

Dez rearranged the living room today and moved the tv by the window. So, I decided that the guests (that we never have) would really notice that we don't have any curtains and so I budgeted 0> for the two cheapest and most decent panels we could get for $45 or less. Yes I need two panels for one window, just because I'm broke doesn't mean i'm tacky. That's pretty much why our house isn't fixed up. Even budget projects take money.<br />
<br />
For my price I had the options of Target and Walmart. Background info: I live in a college town so Goodwill hardly has anything and thrift stores are practically non-existent; also Walmart sucks big time. Anyway, off to Target I went with my 21 month old. There were two aisles with curtains, the one for people who can only afford solid colors and the one for people who can afford patterns. So they had a display with some decent solid panels for $15.99, but low and behold, they were out of any color that remotely matched my living room.<br />
<br />
Poop.<br />
<br />
I just so happened to have checked Joann's on my phone and saw they were having a super sale on fabric AND found a 15% off coupon I could use on top of the sale.<br />
<br />
To Joann's! <br />
<br />
Kirin's Side Story: She hung in my arms like a limp rag doll then got down and made dirt angels on the floor in the store about three times. Mommy's cue to hurry.<br />

...I found some $6.00 clearance home decor fabric that happened to match AND be half off AND had never even been cut AND turned out to be gorgeous once we opened the plastic.<br />
<br />
THEN, since the lady in front of me was obviously getting her own fat roll made from bolts of fabric I decided to look at the novelty fabric.<br />
I have been wanting to get this Mud Pie dress for Kiwi which is on sale for $19.00 <a href="http://www.allamericanbabyboutique.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, but the 4th is on Wednesday. So, I bought these two fabrics to make a dress like<a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=366951230021353&set=a.326360337413776.71405.173610939355384&type=1&theater" target="_blank"> this</a> using this <a href="http://prudentbaby.com/2010/07/baby-kid/one-shoulder-dressy-dress-2/" target="_blank">tutorial</a> from <a href="http://prudentbaby.com/" target="_blank">Prudent Baby</a>.<br />
<br />
Those fabrics happened to be half off as well as did the matching thread for each project AND I got embroidery floss 3 for $.99 (x2) so that I can finish another project I have. When I got to the register I ended up getting a 20% overall discount so most of my items were 70% off and I got all of this, plus Skittles for Kiwi for $23!<br />
<br />
I start my summer C term tomorrow but I will be completing both these projects this week and the dress before Wednesday so look out for another "Yes, I made it yesterday" post soon. Goodnight!<br />

Like I mentioned before I wanted to get the Mudpie dress for Kiwi, but I ended up making one myself. We only got to go to Walmart in it because she and her dad fell asleep immediately after eating and didn't wake up until I could hear fireworks outside. She's such a little busy body.</div>

That triptophan will get you every time. We had ribs, white mac n cheese and corn on the cob in case anyone was wondering. It's funny, usually I am all about a spectacular dessert for holidays, but I was so caught up wanting to finish this dress. Dez actually asked me was I making dessert......um, it's dessert or the dress.

So there were flaws in the final product. I used elastic that was too wide because I was too lazy (after finishing all those edges) to find and measure the elastic before I made the casing for it. I knew I had elastic I just didn't know how big. Also, it was too wide at the bottom. I am not a math whiz so I already had a hard time figuring out how to draw the pattern to fit Kiwi so after everything else I just left the bottom measurement as it was. </div>

I, being the presentation perfectionist that I tend to become, whipped up a shabby flower hair accessory to add to a headband for her. Then being the dork that I am I whipped me up one too.

But alas, I am not someone who would ever think to say "ooey-gooey" blabbity blah. Or have these cute anecdote-al stories or even really interesting ones that don't relate at all. Why? Well partly because I stay home reading blogs all day, but also because through unfortunate circumstances I became a cynical people hater. Now, for some reason whenever I am totally and completely serious and say something even remotely ugly, the people around me laugh. I try telling them I am dead serious and this seems to make it funnier. I don't know what's wrong with them. I don't get it, but hey however you need to deal with it. Because of this I seem to have a small handful of friends who just laugh at my people hating antics. The sucky part is none of them live nearby and I want to be friends with the bubbly, happy people full of ooey-gooey goodness. But happy attracts happy and insult-y attracts... craz-y? I do have to say that I have been meeting my own little circle of awesome people lately. If you are reading, you're included Marlene. If not...awk-ward : | <br />

Another thing that I struggle with is being myself and being PG-13. I actually curse like a sailor, like dirty and strongly race related jokes and make fun of people to my loved ones, but never where the subject could hear and get his or her feelings hurt. I'm not that heartless. So, my dilemma is...do I go 100% real OR edit myself a little to be appealing to a broader audience of people. Like I would probably turn off a lot of devout Christian readers, certain racial groups, and people who are easily offended but then I'm like, they don't have to read this! I just don't ooze ooey-gooey goodness (I learned on American Dad that referencing something 3 times makes it funny or something like that). I also started another blog where I was going to "be myself", but I want to change the focus of this blog a little to reflect my life more. Let's not dwell on the fact that I barely get any posts up anymore. I read somewhere if you don't bring it up, neither will your <strike>fans</strike> readers. I officially registered my business under a different DBA so this blog can be a lot more personal. I would ask my blog idols, but they are busy being fantastic and humorous on their own blogs. So what do you think?

So, I guess "Yes, I Made It Yesterday" isn't all that catchy, but if I were to post this on my Facebook that would probably be my response to a lot of the questions I would get. Maybe. If someone cared. So I want this to be an occasional series of basically whenever I craft. I am more than likely NOT going to sit down and write a lengthy blog post the same day my daughter turns an "x" amount of time project into a "2x" amount of time project. Like P90x, I don't have 3hrs a day to do a 1.5hr workout. If anyone ever makes anything from my posts I would LOVE if you shared either by email or on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hobbiesandevents" target="_blank">Creative Hobbies Facebook page</a>.<br />

I have been almost literally DYING to make Kiwi a pillowcase dress since well...she was born, maybe even before. I bought a surprisingly pretty pillowcase from Dollar Tree (for $1) and have been holding on to it for at least a year. Also, I finally bought my own sewing machine. Yay me! I was using one that was borrowed from a friend and not only did I return it, but she moved to Alabama shortly after so I couldn't re-borrow it (just kidding Kelly, ha ha). Well despite the fact that my house is a wreck, we have guests coming Sunday and my little sister is moving in this weekend; I took my free time yesterday and made my baby a dress. I get so much creative work done when I have other things to do instead. I found the tutorial via a website link via <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> via being a procrastinator. SN: I hope my sentences aren't too long for you, I actually talk in long rambling sentences in "real" life. "Short-story long."<br />
<br />
So here is the link for the <a href="http://watchoutforthewoestmans.blogspot.com/2011/09/pillowcase-dress-tutorial.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a> I used. Plus, my own pictures and slight modifications. I also did almost everything with the pillowcase inside out.<br />

Firstly (possibly a word), I didn't cut the measurements like she said because my daughter is the smallest 16 month old ever, just like I am the smallest 26 year old ever, at least that's what clothing companies would have us believe. Also, my pillowcase had some great contrasting fabric at the bottom that I wanted to use for the binding so I cut the top off and then I measured down about 18-19" and cut that off too.<br />

I then folded the bottom up about 2-3" sewing that to make a hem. I used a piece of tape as a guide so that my seam came out even all around. <br />

<br />
After that I took out my seam ripper (instrument of torture) and took the green apart to make my binding as instructed. I will clarify some things I found confusing: for the binding, fold the top and bottom long edge inward so that they meet. I suggest you iron these, then fold that in half and iron. You end up with this...<br />

I didn't make my arm opening 5" I made mine 4" because Kirin is small, I compared it to a shirt she had for size. Remember, you fold the top down an inch though so you lose an inch and you can make yours bigger or smaller according to your needs. I pinned the binding on because it's a little hard to work with, but it payed off.<br />

Also, I suspected I should have cut my armholes in more or shortened my elastic. I used 1/2' braided elastic btw, she doesn't mention what to use in hers tut. And after making Kiwi try it on the neck opening was too big, sooo I am going to shorten the elastic and lengthen the ribbon - I found 10' to be short. I also want to add some ruffle or something and possible a pocket with the leftover material. I didn't have time to do it yesterday because Dez came to get us for the gym. And that's it. I made it Yesterday.<br />

1st off, none of these photos are edited. If you waited on me to edit them you would never get to see them........That first sentence has been in draft status for over a month. Soooo many details. Let's start with the personal stuff. My little mommy turned one Sept 15th and at midnight her daddy gave her a cupcake he brought home from our favorite bakery in town <a href="http://tastypastrybakery.com.temp.realssl.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">Tasty Pastry</a>. <br />

That evening we took her to Chuck E Cheese's. I had an awesome coupon for pizza and games. Score! Well, we live in Tacky Tallahassee, FL and as it started to drizzle and I began having fun, the power went out and stayed that way. Thumbs down. Kiwi wasn't all that interested in the games anyway. She was too busy walking up to strangers like she knew them O_O. So we went home with a bucket full of tokens and a promise to come back another day.<br />

I was recently talking to a friend and explained my Christmas ornament mishap: basically, they were never moved with us when we moved in February. Now, we are on a really tight budget and new ornaments don't really fit in it. Anyhow, he replied that they were expensive. I explained what I did to make my tree look expensive without blowing my budget and he said, "Cool, where did you get them, [My wife] is looking for some?" Hmm.... at the store. Are we still talking about tree ornaments here? They are everywhere! So it occurred to me that not everyone knows how to get the designer tree look, you know, like the ones on display at the store. So, I thought I would share some tips.<br />

First, I start with a color scheme or a fun theme. This can be combination of colors that coordinate like black and silver, red and gold, pink and turquoise OR it could be all one color or hues from the same family like different purples or blues. For a theme you could try something like lollipops, angels or snowmen. Just pick something you like. If you can't decide ahead of time see what catches your eye at the store.Another idea is to purchase a colored tree and pick complimentary or contrasting colors. That will make a STATEMENT, like a white tree with black ornaments or pink with fun, bright colors. Look on <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> for some inspiration.</div>

Next, I purchase inexpensive ornament packs preferably with different styles inside. The packs should contain: shiny, matte, and glittery or at least 2 of those 3. And I also get at least 2 sizes or a pack with multiple sizes. Depending on your tree size you may only need 2 packs. I then get one set of the more distinct ornaments that are also inexpensive such as snowflakes or icicles these can be whatever texture you are missing. Or these can showcase your theme.</div>

Warning: I do not buy the loose tinsel or the garland made from it, nor do I buy multicolor lights. Those are on my tacky list along with the trees that have all the colors in them, but that's my personal preference. Do whatever makes your family happy. I ALSO, do not put candy canes on my tree unless they are ornaments or match. I usually have a dish on the table and I hang them over the side so that guests and family can have some. Also, I don't "overstuff" my tree, It does not have to overflow with ornaments to look nice.</div>

Then I buy a FEW like handful of the not-so-inexpensive ornaments usually a pair of 3 different styles or you can get 4 to 6 totally different ones. I make sure these are unique, eye catching, and do not look like the rest of the ornaments except the color should match and if using a theme, they should reflect your theme in a BIG WAY even being oversized will help tell the story of your tree.(See the butterflys?)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, I use wide ribbon and loosely wrap it around the tree in a spiral coming from the top down. The topper is up to you. You may use one or tie a many loop bow at the top. If you don't know how look it up on YouTube. If you have special handmade ornaments they made be added to the tree spaced far apart so that they are just special little surprises tucked here and there. I almost forgot: for just a little more "designer" touch. I wrap all our gifts in gift wrap that matches the tree. Just a little something extra, really takes it to the next level.</div>
<br />
Recap: No multicolored lights, pick a color scheme, at least 2 variety packs with different sizes and finishes, an accent pack or two (should have like 6 in each), and then splurge on 4 to 6 special ones (there is no magic number), and use wide ribbon that will really give it a finished look.<br />
<br />
Store list:<br />
Best place for cheap multipacks: Target and Walmart<br />
Best place for unique not-so-cheap ornaments: Kmart, Michael's, and Hobby Lobby<br />
<br />
Other stores to check out: Dollar Tree, Joann's, Macy's, Sears and check online especially places like <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a>.<br />

I try not to get too down, but today is one of those days I would have been with her, like Christmas. I try to joke and say that she's at an awesome party and I bet they won't be running out of drinks. I try to make it light-hearted to keep everyone else up. I was recently contacted on Facebook by a childhood friend and the first thing she asked was how my mom was doing. Now, who has it harder? Those receiving the news of my mom's untimely death or me having to break it to them? It's a little like she dies every time I have to tell someone. I try to speed through it and say it as emotionless as possible, but I think people feel awkward. But then if I burst into tears how much more uncomfortable is that? I just felt the need to acknowledge that today is my mom's day and that I still love and think about her. I wanted to tell someone that reading all her birthday wishes on her memorial page makes me cry. That looking at her granddaughter and knowing how crazy she would've been about her can be a little overwhelming. I never thought about what I would do without my mom and I am surviving,but sometimes things feel empty.Like getting my A.A. with Honors, or celebrating holidays or even talking to family on her side. I honestly, feel like most of the love and warmth has gone out of my maternal family. She kept everyone together and made sure people showed up for weddings and graduations. She was the strongest woman I know and It's just hard emotionally without her. I didn't even realize what I keep at bay on a daily basis because sitting here truly thinking about her puts me in an all out sob. But you can't see the snotty, crumpled, ugly-cry face. So, thank you. Thank you for listening/reading. </span></div>

Hey! You busy? Obviously not you're on my blog page, but anywhoos...this and last weekend we took our daughter out to some FAMU activities. For those who don't know <a href="http://www.famu.edu/">Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University</a> is a HBCU (historically black college/university) and my boyfriend's alma mater. He kept asking me were we going to attend some games and requested that Kirin have a "FAMU tutu". So we bought tickets and at the last minute I whipped up a pettitutu (the really fluffy ones) and a onesie for her. We got sooooo many comments/compliments! Homecoming (a very big deal around here) was last week so I threw her back in it for the parade and at one point the people in our area were just watching her and not the parade. See my daughter has <strike>midget</strike> vertically challenged parents and we are none to chunky either so she is really small for her age and walks very well. Plus, she's super cute so it's an instant attention magnet. It's like she has paparazzi wherever we go. NO seriously, at the FAMU game this girl took a picture of her and walked off, umm...weird. Anyway I wanted to share the pics of my little precious in her FAMU regalia.<br />

Everyone loved her tutu. Why did it never occur to me that people would want a Famu tutu? "Duh...I don't know, George." She had a pretty good time. She kept me chasing her all over the stands though. She loves to walk and will not be hindered. She was pretty worn out though and we left at halftime! Below this one are some of the parade pictures. We were like 40 minutes late so we missed the band, but she's not an early morning baby and I hated to wake her.</div>

Good Morning!<br />
First, let me start by saying I think that I should write as things come to me. I've never been one of those people who had a rough draft and then edited it and had 2 or 3 other people read and critique it and then wrote another draft. I was more like I wrote as I wrote (if that makes sense) I MAY have on occasion had something written on paper, but I revised it as I was typing it. Once it was printed I may have asked an opinion, but what was done was done. How does that relate? Um, I have a blog and you have to write stuff. So, if I want my stuff to be interesting I need to write A.S.A. I have even one line of what I want to say, BUT definitely tweek it before posting.<br />
<br />
Okay, so I wanted to talk about this failed giveaway. I was hoping, hope against hope, that people, mostly ones I know or their friends, would actually participate. While I don't have much traffic, I very much appreciate the people who do read it and I just <i>knew</i> I could count on the love of those people to sustain my little bloggie giveaway. I know that actually having to go and look at the site and come back and comment is a lot of work, but the sponsor wants site traffic so come on, give me a break. I was so excited that someone contacted me and that I was able to do a giveaway with valuable giveaway-ware.<br />
<br />
The results remind me of my first Mary Kay party as a representative. I invited the few people that I knew and actually liked. I was SO excited. I LOVE Mary Kay products and I could make money talking about it, WHAT!? But there's a script and they kinda want you to memorize it so that it flows naturally. Um, I'm not a good-product script-with-someone's idea-of-witty banter-type person. It's very hard for me to patronize people or fake being happy. So, I gave it my best (I think) and tried not to drone on and on about the makeup ingredients and just get to the actual skincare part. Is this too long? Well, there's a part where you play a game to giveaway free stuff and get referrals. I was like, "...FREE STUFF!!!"... no response. "Come on, who doesn't like FREE STUFF?", nothing but blank stares. Hello! These people are my friends, where's the enthusiasm? <i>Ok</i>, moving on. Then I had painstakingly made and decorated these pale Mary Kay pink cupcakes. "Let's go into the kitchen for CUPCAKES and LEMONADE!!" Nothing once again. No one was excited about free stuff or yummy cupcakes. I wondered...was it me? Was I that boring? Did I make friends with aliens? Or terrorists? Or terrorist aliens? I know part of presenting is giving to the audience to get it back, but what more could I have given to get <i>something</i> from them. Could they have <i>tried</i> to have a little more fun? Well, I had a few more parties after that and had <i>the</i> best time! <i>I</i>..<i>It's not me? </i>Still not sure<i>.</i><br />
<br />
So, did I not talk about the software enough? Basically, it was like working in <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/">Publisher</a>, but with the effects and editing capabilities you wish Publisher had. It's not as hard as <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopfamily.html?promoid=ITXQN">Photoshop</a>, which I can do minimally. And you don't have to deal with all those layers. I usually work in Publisher, but I always wish I could cut pictures into shapes, add frames and effects more easily and add embellishments that they don't have, things I do in Photoshop. Well I was able to do it in the <a href="https://www.mymemories.com/">my memories suite </a>(yeah, I decided to plug it). So, for FREE I think it's pretty cool, BUT it's probably the highest quality scrapbooking software I have worked with just because I have yet to pay more than $10 for any. It had pretty good reviews on Amazon as well. So anyway, the free code doesn't expire until December so If anyone is interested <a href="https://www.mymemories.com/">GO TO THE WEBSITE</a> ( can't get around it) look around, leave me comment of <i>anything at all</i> that you saw, and tell me you want the software. First person to do it, get's it. For anyone else I have a coupon code that I will gladly share with you for $10 off the software and $10 in free downloads. Same requirements apply, but I would also like you to go and "LIKE" <a href="http://www.facebook.com/hobbiesandevents">Creative Hobbies on Facebook</a> (don't worry, I'm not one of those people who posts every five seconds) OR SUBSCRIBE to this blog, then LEAVE A COMMENT, also non-negotiable, that you did it. The coupon code offer is unlimited, I will deliver it by email.</div>

I have some pics I want to experiment with editing on first, but I wanted to give you guys a heads up as to if I'm ever going to get to that <a href="http://hobbiesandevents.blogspot.com/2011/09/1st-birthday-progress.html">dress</a> I was sewing, what the theme was and how it all turned out. Also, today we went to a football game (read: pics). I'm loving on some popular blogs out there and I want to share (read: features) and a few other things I've thought of recently. . And yes, I am going to talk about this give away that not ONE person entered (read: family vent). Plus, it's October so that means homemade caramel apples in our house and I'm attempting popcorn balls this year. Well, I'm off to study/project/entertain my child/be a good significant other/clean my house/lose my mind. I feel weird not having any photos so check this one out from <a href="http://www.justgetoffyourbuttandbake.com/">Just Get Off Your Butt and Bake</a> exactly what I need to do, insert everything in the world instead of bake. They look sooo yummy, mmmph. Goodnight!<br />
<br />
Really Quick - Dez just asked if I took Kiwi's diaper off, umm no I'm typing. I totally got some naked butt shots and will definitely be embarrassing the crap out of her later (in life), HAHAHA! And I forgot to add sleeping and eating to the list of things I need to do. Bye for real this time.</div>

You actually need to have fans for a fan love giveaway, but for the few people (most likely related to or harassed by me) who <i>have</i> read my blog: I LOVE YOU GUYS!! So, the fabulously nice folks at <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/">My Memories Suite</a> decided to hook me up with some <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/">scrapbooking software</a> AND they let me hook you guys up with some too! I have been playing around with the software and I like how easy it is to change and enhance your items as you go. It's pretty straight forward and you can actually add media. Lovin it! The software comes with preloaded templates OR you can make your own from scratch OR there's a bar on the side to buy new ones AND they are very inexpensive, score! Did you know they have a <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/store/dollar_store">Dollar Section</a>? What?! As in my favorite words to hear, see, or read at any place of business with crafty goods to sell? Yes ma'am (or sir)! Right now it's my favorite season, Fwinter which is a Florida season that other states don't know about. And i'm loving these Fall templates So, before my daughter climbs over the couch to destroy the things on my end table, I will give you the details.<br />
<a href="http://www.mymemories.com/system/0008/3690/Prev2-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.mymemories.com/system/0008/3690/Prev2-13.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />

So, in January I turned 25. Woohoo! A quarter century, totally awesome.
So we had a little soiree at our place. I didn't get to decorate like I
really wanted, but we had a blast. I actually wasn't even dressed as the party started; babies make everything take longer. Kiwi (babygirl's nickname) stayed up
the entire time, not planned, but it worked out. Anyway, I wanted to
share some pics from the joyous occasion. Dez helped out with the
cooking and setup and we mounted the tv on the wall which had a graphic I put together. The colors were hot pink, black and white damask. So these are some of the pics.<br />

The spread and "bar". Yes, I did cover my table with black wrapping paper. Please excuse the not done decorations. We had wings, meatballs, potstickers, dumplings, and a cheese fondue for the veggies. Very tasty. <br />
<br />

<br />
The pink drink is "Xrated Pink Lemonade" very delicious as you can see they were guzzling it down. And we are always up for Jello Shots. Excuse the printer, just pretend it's not there.<br />

DIY Photobooth couldn't contain us. We basically, hung black curtains, and covered our upholstered coffee table a.k.a. the red thing, in white fabric. I had to say this was a fun group of people. There were guys too just not pictured. I randomly invited the girl who sat next to me in Art class and she turned out to be a blast.<br />

Me and Dez coordinated outfits. I love how open he is to things, most guys would say <strike>hell</strike> no to a Hot Pink shirt. We went to Jacksonville to get our gear, worked out nicely I do say.<br />

<br />
I've always wanted one of these and they can cut numbers out of the pineapple, YAY!<br />
<br />
I tried to incorporate black and white as best I could, we had them dip some of the fruit in dark and white chocolate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So we played "Get Low" Limbo. Lots of fun! When the party was whinding down someone suggested we play charades and we did...til 3am.<br />

<br />
<br />
Finally, the "royal family". Since, my daughter wouldn't stay asleep we let her stay up and party with us. Everyone pretty much just passed her around the whole night. Everyone made it home safely and as we were saying goodbye, Kiwi was falling asleep in our arms. Happy Birthday to me!<br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So, currently I am working on my sweet little girl's first birthday party. I am keeping the theme a secret for now, but there will definitely be a reveal on that later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today was my first day sewing, like ever! So, what does mama do? Well I saw THE cutest pettiskirt dress, BUT it costs $124.00. Umm... no thanks. She pretty much gains 1-2lbs a month so I will most certainly not be paying that much for a dress she may wear once or twice. She's totally worth it, it's just not economically responsible to me. So I decide that i'm going to make it. What makes me think I can? 1. I bought a tutorial for a pettiskirt 2. I've read a lot of pettiskirt tutorials 3. My friend has a sewing machine and offered to teach me. (She said it was easy-peasy) 4. I am totally insane and firmly believe I can figure out how to do anything with directions. So, there you have it, I'm a sewing mama. I also plan to use this dress as a Halloween costume, princess fairy anyone?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'll have to admit it is easier than I thought, I am really excited! Today I cut all the fabric, made the ruffles and sewed them onto one layer of the bottom tier. Tomorrow Kirin (babygirl) comes back from her first trip away from mom and dad. Yeah, we pretty much missed her WAAAAY more than she missed us. And she will be all in my fabric because the baby gate only keeps her in the living room and it's so confined I hate to leave her in there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My Wreath</td></tr>
</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Last weekend I halfway finished the <a href="http://www.ablissfulnest.com/2010/03/tissue-paper-wreath-how-to.html">wreath</a> for the front door of her party space. Of course I modified mine: I used the wooden/twig wreath (from Dollar Tree). It took about 16 sheets of tissue paper and I cut my pieces into 4x5" rectangles since they were 20"x20" sheets and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">rounded the corners, which gave it a soft more petal-ey look. You can use less paper if you make it looser. I say halfway because</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> I will be adding her initial or something to the middle. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well, I am super excited about this whole process even though I have about two weeks to pull it all together. Did I mention I'm a full time student? I haven't been able to produce a whole lot of physical elements for the party up until recently, but I have already designed her labels and cupcake wrappers. And of course invites have been mailed and received already. More pics and details to come. Yay, i'm so excited!</span></div>Teronia Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08143870197080497218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826482738490014742.post-40169978117963774942011-05-02T23:43:00.000-04:002011-05-03T00:41:05.996-04:00Ok, so I read all these SUPER AMAZING blogs pretty much on a daily basis and these ladies are funny, creative, and just all in all have a great bloginality (blog + personality). I see blog posts, then I attempt the projects on said blog posts, so I thought to myself, I should blog! Ok, easier said than done, but I have been SUPER (I like caps for emphasis) inspired and I WILL (emphasis on "will") do this. Last time I posted, way last summer, I was pregnant well now my daughter is 7 months old so there will be several "catch up" posts. This blog is a mish mash of cool stuff I see, projects I've attempted and a little bit of family life mixed in, but I hope you (all 5 of you, probably related to me) enjoy it.Teronia Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08143870197080497218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826482738490014742.post-41241567495257937652010-06-22T12:00:00.000-04:002010-06-22T12:10:52.715-04:00First Post!Ahhhh, I'm so excited to finally have started a blog. I hope to add many interesting and super cute things over the next few......? Anyway, my first post isn't about crafts or events, it's the cutest proposal that I found a link to on the Couture Parties Facebook page. I cried watching it, especially the big flash cards part, but i'm a little emotional (pregnancy hormones will get ya every time).
