Week 9 of 52 Week Photo Project

We didn't do a whole lot this week other than yesterday was Riley's advanced class graduation of course I forgot the good camera at home and the P&S batteries were dead so all i got was a crappy camera phone picture. Oh well!!!!!!!!!!! So I made some hand towels for all of our bathrooms in the house they turned out so cute!!!

Weekend Crafts!!!!!!

My mom came up this weekend!!!! It was great to get to spend time with her. We had so much fun. A friend of hers has a new granddaughter and wanted some bibs monogrammed so of course me and my mom can't do anything simple. These are just a few pictures that I snagged this morning as she was leaving so they aren't that great but they turned out so cute. We also made this headband and flower for her. I am so excited about all the crafts I have been working on lately. I think we are getting really really close to starting the etsy store. I appreciate everyones support.






Thanks,
Mrs. Dyer

Week 8 of 52 Week Photo Project

This week was Valentines day which was terrific!!!!!! My husband bought me a new lens and I have had a ball playing with it. We were out in the backyard playing fetch with Riley and I just happen to catch a very good picture of her. She is becoming such a fantastic dog. Next Saturday is Advanced class graduation so hopefully she will do well.

Week 7 of 52 Week Photo Project!!!!!!!

I am starting to completely fall in love with photography. I have found some sort of inner peace that is awesome when I am viewing the world through my camera. Its absolutely amazing. We had a warmer day this week so I during my lunch one day I decided to take my camera down to the river and see what I could come up with. This is my favorite of the day. This is one of the coolest bridges. I really hope everyone is enjoying this as much as ME!!!! We are suppose to get some more warm days this week so maybe I will find another cool place to go and take pictures.

Tote Bag

I am so excited that I actually accomplished this bag!!!!!! I am really starting to surprise myself with my sewing skills. Its such a great bag and was super easy to make. I am going to try and make another one and see if this was a fluke or if I acutally can sew.


This is the whole set of items that I have made. The Tote bag, business card/card holder, and key chain. I am very pleased with how it has all turned out. Cant wait to see what else I can whip up.

Card and Bag!!!!

I had some Christmas paper just laying around and decided to make a Christmas card and bag set. It was so simple. I loved it. The bag is big enough to do a piece of jewelry or a gift card or other smaller items. I am also going to try and post a tutorial on how to make this bag. The card is the same criss cross card I made in a former tutorial.
This bag just turned out so FREAKING cute!!!!!!!!

Also very easy to make!!!!
Thank you,
Mrs. Dyer

New hair cut!!!!

I finally broke down and got my hair cut FINALLY!!!!! Of course I never learn you always tell the girl two inches longer than you really want it. It is a bit shorter than I had anticipated but I am really really loving it. My hair has not been this short since I was 5 years old.
This also shows my camera strap cover that I made. I LOVE it so much!!! I hated that stupid black cover. This one is much prettier!!!!!!!

Week 6 of 52 Week Photo Project

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went to a super bowl party tonight at a friends house and they are big Steelers fans so I decided to make cake pops and a Styrofoam football field to display them on. They didn't come out exactly the way I wanted but I at least got a pretty good picture out of the deal.
