ZOMBIE SMASH

My husband had an assignment for his JAVA class...

to design a game.

 I say HAD because this actually took place last year, and I never got around to posting about it until now.

Sorry!

It is a game with typed in commands...similar to the first games for computer.

Seems like a simple structure when you consider the games on the market today, but it was all about coding.

 

You would not believe how many pages of coding

(a.k.a. gibberish to me no matter how much I try to understand)

When this was initially assigned, he had no idea what the subject of the game should be.

Then inspiration struck him...

ZOMBIES

Is it a pair of jeans "OR" a purse?

The one thing that all crafters and artists need is portable, convenient STORAGE...whether it be an actual  port folio, a painters case / easel or even a LARGE BAG to put multiple craft items all in one place.

My inspiration for this project came from a gift that my mom-in-law Barb,  gave to her sister Brenda.

Brenda, who is also an artist, is currently helping to inspire children to have lots of fun with crafts in a local after-school program...her new denim bag is just the right size to throw in brushed, craft paints, stickers, colouring books, stamps, and whatever else you can think of.

Well this post is about a denim purse...but not just any denim purse, one made from a pair of jeans!

What a great way to recycle :)

MOVEMBER Poster

Seeing how it's the last day of November, I thought I'd share the Movember poster I created.

I call this guy "Big Red" or just plain old "Dude",
which really made my Mom laugh.

My husband Trevor is part of the
Student Association at college...he is currently the VP of Services.

His duties for this position are directed toward the student food bank, the tutoring program and of course, fund raising.

He had to come up with a November fund raising event...he decided on a MOVEMBER theme.

He created 100 chocolate mustaches to raise awareness for prostate cancer and to raise funds for prostate cancer research.

What an awesome idea!!!!

Hand Stitching Frenzy...Curtains, Duvet and Pillow Shams

I created this poster specifically for this next post...and YES, that is the

cartoon version of me.

Ha ha ha!!!!

Many of you have been wondering why I haven't posted anything lately...this is why!

I have been sewing my little fingers to the bone.

I do have a sewing machine, but it needs to be serviced...but I didn't let that stop me!

Rustic French Shutters

I was looking through kijiji ads a few months ago, and came across this window.  

I know, you're probably thinking "Gee, you should have left it there!"

Oh yeah...
did I forget to mention
they were
:)    ALL FOR FREE ?    :) 
There were four smaller windows & two of the larger ones like above...
