Halloween Block Party

Went a little crazy with the "Mini Monsters" cricut cartridge and made these invites for our block party! There are two of each type, 22 in all for our street! My neighbor Kristin typed up all the info to go on the back and we set out to put them on our neighbors doors! The reaction has been great and we are looking forward to a fun block party...and will surely be making lots of decorations and fun things for the big date...so more to come soon!

some older paintings

Found some pictures of some older paintings I have done...Most of them are either SOLD, gifted or hanging here...Enjoy!

This "Whale Tale" hangs in my Aunt Monica's house:



A friend of mine bought this Tulip for a friend of hers:



This Sunflower (one of my favorites) went to my sister Rachel:



This Strawberry, went to my sister Erica for a birthday gift one year:



My mom somehow acquired this plumeria:



Another favorite went to my friend Vanessa:



This fishy hangs in Brandon's room, even though he no longer has a sea life room:



This Conch was purchased by my friend Amber, a fellow Key West Conch!



Another favorite, this Maryland Blue Crab was also a gift for my sister Erica:



This one was also for Erica, it was supposed to look like her dog, Luna, but I can not for the life of me make animals to look realistic, so let's just say it's a silly dog!



This owl was a reject (one that did not get sold) so Erica claimed this one too, she loves owls!



I think there's more out there somewhere, just need to find the pictures! If you own a "Robin Toole original" let me know & send me a pic!!

baby onesie quilt!

Here is by far one of my most favorite projects, one that I am most proud of. I took tons of Branson's baby clothes, mostly newborn, or size 0-3 and mostly onesies and cut them up into 5 inch squares and made this beautiful, soft, quilt. It's got so many great memories in it and I love to snuggle up in it and so do the kids. My mom says I should seal it up and preserve it for when they are older, but I really like enjoying it now. I have another one in the works with Colin's baby clothes (need to get on that project STAT!)





Side note: I have never quilted before...I taught myself how to quilt with a few quilt kits that were super simple like this one, that I made for a friend who had a baby girl...

going thru older pics...

I have been sorting thru some older pictures on my computer and thought that I need to add some of my older projects to my blog! So the next few posts will be dedicated to older projects...some of my favorites!

Enjoy!
