A weekly post capturing a single moment from our wild life, to savor.

The dirtiest kid in Yosemite!

And today is also my 100th post! WOW!

I started this blog just under a year ago, with this post and the same rings true now.

To thank you all for sharing with me this past year, I’m going to have my first giveaway! Comment on this post and you can win your very own BogleFace Monster Zip Bag! I will close comments and announce the winner on next Friday 7/23/10 at 8:00am PST Good luck!

Bogle Face was recently commissioned to create a baby set to match Rosa the bib!

Here’s what we crafted up… A sweet soft patchwork blanket, and a matching set of washcloths!

I just can’t help myself, I love this picture of Etta wearing Rosa….

Okay!

Some cool stuff that’s been on my mind, I thought it might be worthwhile enough to share!

• Angry Chicken’s new Mail order PDF! 16 Potions & concoctions and labels!
• The Complete Vegetarian Cuisine by Rose Elliot I checked this out from the library! It’s a fabulous book, we made the Mac & Cheese recipe last night.. so delicious!
• Men’s Knits by Erica Knight, also from the library! I think I must have been the first person to check it out! I’m excited about casting on one of the simple green “man” scarfs! Just need some yarn!
• Make your own Mini-Me at I am a Stuffed Animal .com very cute.. although probably just as easy to craft up at home!
• This pillowcase skirt I made, during nap time last week…. Just have to find the right occasion to wear it (I can’t stand wearing skirts to work)! I got the pattern idea from Sewing Green. The pillowcase was recently thrifted from my favorite Goodwill!

• These bogle face washcloths we crafted up for little baby friends, Etta loves her “prototype”, she likes to point at all the cute monster faces!

• Last but not least….VANCOUVER! We’re headed that way in a few weeks…. Etta’s first trip to Canada… we’ve been trying to decide what we want to see while we’re there! So if you have any suggestions… post them!

Here are some recent treasures I’ve received from friends…

A little bag from Haruna, she blogged about here too!

What do I keep in this little beauty?

USB thumb drives! I love it, thanks Haruna!!!

This next bag is from my sister-in-law, it was my Christmas present this past holiday season, one of my favorites (she’s also one of my sewing inspirations,  she was making clothes in high school that are still cooler and more complicated than anything I’ve ever made!)!

What’s in this beauty?

My lifeline, the laptop! It also can hold my school books, pens, pencils and yes, that left pocket fits the iphone perfectly!

Handmade + Tech = Happy Tiffy!

Our Bogle Bib Rosa, has been featured on the blog “Only the best of Etsy”

Isn’t she darling!?

I hinted a couple weeks back that we were working on something! Well it’s time for that something to be reveled!

Auntie Rene & myself have formed a crafty partnership!

Phase 1: Monster bibs for Toddlers!
After many afternoons of dreaming, drafting monsters, pattern making, sewing, prototypes, and photo shoots with our own monster we have launched our first 6 bibs! Each Bogle Bib is unique and individual as the child who wears it! Including ribbon teeth, giant mouths to keep the droppings contained and amazing personalities!

It’s rapidly approaching! Since Valentine’s falls on a Sunday this year I’m totally sad that my valentine giving won’t be “officially” on valentine’s day… and yes, I’m one of those annoying co-workers who give gifts on  most holidays!

Here’s what I made the year before last… From Martha’s inspiration “See through Valentines”

Each heart had a different little stamp and was filled with Dark Chocolate M & M’s! So sweet & so cute!

Here’s what we did for 2010 valentines!

Etta even made her own valentines, with a little help from Mommy & Auntie Rene! She colored and we assembled!

Next step was the goodies! Chocolate & Coconut No Bake Cookies & Chocolate Mint Sugar Cookies!

All that cooking tired the poor babe out, and once she was asleep, I snuck out of bed and finished the assembly process!

Three special people got these…

As in all things, I intended to make a whole bunch more of these polyester roses… between the baby, my full time job, and the class I’m taking this term (excuses) I just didn’t get around to it!

Happy Early Valentines Day!

I’ve had a pretty amazing week. That’s because I’m judging my week by how much naping the kid does after I get home from work! I know pretty selfish, but I thrive off of what we call “Tiffy Time”.

With all this lovely napping, I’ve been able to get some crafty projects completed! I downloaded a sweet tutorial from Foundling an Etsy store over a year ago, and never got around to actually making these Polyester beauties till now!

They are awesome, and so simple to make… I have a feeling there’s going to be a lot more around here soon, well that’s if the kiddo takes some nice long naps this weekend!

These two have turned into a broach and a hair accessory, and are on the way to their new homes!

We’ve been plotting and scheming…  there is something exciting in the works…

Here is your monstrous hint…
