aloha mommmaaaaa

My heart and my soul to Hawaii are bound,
Wrapped in the peace and serenity that lies all around.

The orchids in Hilo, the Tradewinds that love me,
The shores of Kapaa, Na Pili above me.

Hanalei, Bali Hai, the Big Island lava,
Papaya, coconut and, oh, the guava!

The moon glow on the ocean, so lovely and bright,
For Menehune’s to dance by the wonderful light.

The adventures I’ve had, the friends that I’ve made,
I dream of it all, I’m never afraid.

When my script is over and I leave the stage,
Aloha will be what is left on the page.


p.s. i love this place. 


p.s. (im breathing right now….)
p.s. love our friend’s ranch!
p.s. no biggie. just a flower growing in the yard at the house. 

p.s. beautiful flower about to bloom with the volcano smoking in the distance behind it.
p.s. just for you gus:)
p.s. this is now my screen saver. i am in love at this exact second with everything about this picture! 

How to make a Paint Can Cross

During a recent “clean-up” process… There was a massive amount of paint can’s that were being thrown away.. {{yes, the paint was dry inside first :)}} The wifey kindly thought of me and said “hey, I thought you could do a project with these” and that was that. The wheels started turning, not that they ever stop {picture coffee eyes}… Getting to the project, I absolutely am SOOOO {{big hug}} happy I kept them because this is “prolly” my favorite craft EVER! I mean, all the colors are from our house over the years!!! Yes {rolling eyes} I paint alot….

Depends on my mood!!! AHHHHHHHHH lol

p.s. first thing i did was place them on the ground in different positions until i was happy with what i had.

p.s. then i just put a piece of wood down the middle to see where i need to cut it.
p.s. when you figure this out all you have to do is get a saw and cut the wood.
p.s. i did the same thing going in the opposite direction.
p.s. get a chisel and cut halfway into the wood. kinda like making a “pot hole”.  we will only do this on one piece of wood. 
p.s. this is what it should look like. 
p.s. once you get that going you will nail them together just like this. 
p.s. place your paint can lids where ever you want. now you can really combine the colors so it feels like it flows.  i also had a couple of small paint can lids that i slapped in there. 
p.s. carefully nail them to the 
p.s.  tadahhhhh.. how cute is this little suckertash. 
p.s. how awesome. don’t forget, if you only have small lids then that’s fine or if you only have big ones then that’s cool too~~
I hope you enjoyed this craft! And remember, if there is anything you like and KNOW you can make but don’t have the TIME you can always shoot me an email or check in my ETSY shop and order it!!!!

Well what was I to do? Ya know!
I have been wanting some of those vintage BALL jars, you know… the ones that have that beautiful {{hinty winty}}} of teal…..Well I found them, only thing is they are expensive! So I decided I would try to make some on my own.  Heck. It was pretty darn easy if I say so myself.
I just got some glass paint from Michael’s Arts and Crafts and a little spongy wunggy brush. That’s it yall!
So let’s get going!!!!
p.s. I know I know.. I used a “KERRRR” jar but it’s ok because we are gonna make it look like a BALL jar!
p.s. yep. that’s all i used!
p.s. the left picture only has ONE coat of glass paint on it.
the right picture has TWO coats of glass paint on it!
p.s.  I just went out in my yard and pulled some roses!! So prettyy!!
p.s. Ohhhh I totally found this REAL BALL JAR about 30 min after I painted the “KERRR” jars!!! I totally been having it for years but put it away because I “guess” I used to think it was GREEN!! BUT ITS NOT!!!! OHHH EMMMM GEEEEE
p.s. how awesome is the window over my kitchen sink! <3
I hope you all loved this crafty wafty my little jaderbugs!!!
Until next time…

Wanna stain my glass????!?!?!?!?!?

Yes! I am finally finished!!!! You are prolly wondering what am I talking about! Well look below!!! A couple of weekends ago I bought this great big box of {{awesome}} fabric! I was not sure what I was going to do with it then it hit me. (like a ton of fabric). I had this image in my head of stained glass. You know, like in the church. How beautimus do those suckers look when you are inside! You get it right!! Well that is what I was going for! It took a little time and patience but it was worth all the hard work!  These pictures really are NOTHING compared to what they look like in person! It’s like  a quilted cloud.
