WELL, hello AYYO! It has been a busy holiday season and I am finally ready to jump back into Ayyo. I have had several crochet orders but I will only post my favorites, so I don't clog up the blog :). I looove the baby ugg inspired boots and the little monster hat :). So much fun to expand and do something different!</div>

I also am got a new pair of TOMS for Christmas and had to share :). I love them so much. Right on time too because my last pair is getting a little worn out. I hope you all had a fabulous Holiday season with your families. I can't wait to get started on the new year with lots of new craft ideas and maybe just maybe an appearance by Libby???<br />

I received my first pair for my birthday last May, and I am hooked! (Of course Libby has had them for several years and gone through several pairs lol). I couldn't help take a picture of mine while shopping because look at the AMAZINGLY, AWESOME plaid carpet! I LOOOVE IT. Stripe overload :).<br />

I love this dip for two reason. 1) it is always a crowd favorite, and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) it has three ingredients. Seriously. Soooo Good. Plus, who doesn't </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like a dip that has cream cheese in it! I made this for a little nursing gal 'dip night.'</div>
<br />
Ingredients include:<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
-1 block of softened cream cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-1 cup (packed) brown sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-1 tsp of vanilla</div>

Possible spoilers ahead... Libby and I have both read all the books (which are better than the movies), don't be haters :). The movie was good-mediocre. The birth scene was not for me though... Some of my favorite parts included the wedding scenes, and the imprinting scene. BUT my favorite, favorite part of the movie was the MUSIC. The soundtrack was one of the best I have heard in awhile. I even had a part in the movie where I had to lean to libby and have her 'shazam' a song. We were unsuccessful. However, when we got back to my house we used spotify and found the soundtrack. :) YAY. Some of my favorites...<br />

Have we mentioned how much we LOVE garage/estate sales and auctions! hehe! Well, Jared and I got up at 7:00am, grabbed coffee and headed off to the 7:30 sale. We were there when it started, with a crowd already waiting. I found an awesome large blue Ball jar, Budweiser box, and a washing board. All for the wonderful price of $10! (I would have paid $15-20 for the box alone!) I call it a success!</div>Ay Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10784500896557179472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534143650630269704.post-51639442761438192042011-10-28T12:58:00.000-07:002011-10-28T12:58:38.709-07:00winter hat orders<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of the first weekends in fall, my parents, husband and I went to our cabin. It brought back so many childhood memories to see the morning fog over the lake. I love it! Nothing beats a morning sunrise over the lake. I didn't have my canon this trip, but my dad had his so he let me borrow it to get my photography fix. Hope you enjoy my three favorites of the trip!Ay Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10784500896557179472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534143650630269704.post-59320022994914044812011-10-12T11:08:00.000-07:002011-10-12T11:08:42.482-07:00kiara's winter hats<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was a great getaway and it was nice to be just the two of us. On the way up, I found a new black bag in the back seat of the car, tags still attached. Not a black bag of mine. I thought Jared had went out and bought the expensive fish finder he has been wanting... He then told me to open the bag... guess what it was... a <span class="main-title" itemprop="name" sb_id="ms__id4484">Canon EOS 60D DSLR! (I have been wanting a DSLR since May). I have the best husband EVER! The pic below is my camera minus the lens. Mine is slightly different.</span><br />

What a great way to make your gift stand out! <br />
Supplies for this project include:<br />
Glass item to etch<br />
Paint brushes<br />
Xacto knife<br />
Contact Paper<br />
Armour Etch<br />
Rubber Gloves<br />

I bought a glass pitcher to monogram for this project. After a glass object is found, look for a font, pattern, or object you want to etch on your glass. Remember the more complicated the harder it will be to cut out of the contact paper. I found a great B using Microsoft Word. Once you find a font you like, print it out and trace onto the contact paper (see below). One could also use the outline of scrapbook lettering.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While tracing the B, ensure it is backwards so that it appears the right way when etching. I used my kitchen window and natural light to trace the B. (I don't have a light table).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After traced, I cut the B out with my Xacto knife. The knife is sharp BE CAREFUL :). </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I bought separate paint brushes for this project due to the chemical in the Armour Etch. I then painted in the armour etch and filled in all areas of the B. Wear gloves when using the product to ensure you don't burn your hands accidentally. Let the product sit on the glass for at least five minutes. Then rinse off the Armour Etch under the sink (while wearing gloves)</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is my take on a <a href="http://christyrobbins.blogspot.com/2011/07/wedding-invitation-ornament.html">pin</a> from pinterest.com. My childhood friend got married this last weekend and I thought it was such a great idea to use the invite as part of the gift. What a sweet keepsake. To make this invite ornament, you will need these supplies:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-glass crafting ornaments (I got mine from hobby lobby)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-a charm for extra zing</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-ribbon</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-scrapbook paper cutter </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-the invite</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is so simple! Cut the invite into strips, so that you can read the writing. This particular invite had both large and small type so I had two sizes of paper strips. Then you wrap the strips around a pencil or pen to give them the curly appearance. Stuff the curly strips into the glass ball. I used ribbon to place the charm around the ornament neck as well as to use it to hang the ball. I suppose you could use it with any type of invite, but the wedding invite idea is my favorite. </div>Ay Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10784500896557179472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534143650630269704.post-62530557097280880912011-09-06T20:09:00.000-07:002011-09-06T20:10:31.103-07:00Baby 'B's goods<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My cousin and his wife are expecting their second child and I was so excited when she</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">asked to make some cute items for her!

Something to help us from going out to eat on a whim and spending $15-30.00, because no one wants to cook ;). Does that sound familiar? So, time to make a dry erase marker board. This way we can keep track of our weekly events and menu! I saw this idea on the DIY page of Pinterest.com (looooove that website by the way!). The nice thing about making your own board, you can switch out the background color to match the season!<br />
<br />
Supplies:<br />
- hot glue gun<br />
- magnets<br />
- dry erase markers<br />
- 12 X 12 scrapbook paper of your choice<br />
- 12 X 12 frame (if you are to make it a magnetic board, you must choose a frame <br />
light enough to hold on the fridge with magnets)<br />
<br />

She asked me to make them for a few upcoming baby showers. I really like they way they turned out! The blue and brown blanket was super think and soft. The thicker yarn also works up faster ;). The white and blue one was a typical baby yarn which took a lot longer to make but it is very light and stretchy.

While in the checkout isle, I was looking through the candy and found a package of canned good tags. Someone had obviously made a last minute decision to not buy them. They were adorable! I almost bought them myself, but then I thought... well shoot I could make that! My mom still makes homemade jams, salsa, and spaghetti sauce.
