While Big brother is at School... take 1

My 2 year old Nellie is such a character. While her Big brother is at preschool me and her just hang out, she helps me cook breakfast, clean ...i think shes going on 25 instead of 3. I love that she is my little helper, i guess I better enjoy it while she is young, because when she gets older it'll be so horrible for her to do any of those things (teenagers) lol


Anywhoo i walked into my room and found her in my closet. She Loves to play in my shoes, First i saw her looking through the hats, then she chose the boots, its interesting that she chose the boots instead of my stilettos because she usually grabs those first.
She is such a crack up, She likes to dress herself, and i like seeing what she puts together. I asked her if i could take a picture and she started striking all these poses. :)

Funny thing is she used to highly dislike taking pictures... you couldn't tell now.

I know if she could reach my clothes in my closet, she would be playing in those too :)

Yep im convinced she's going on 25. lol

My independent little princess.

Do your children play in your wardrobe? 

Happy monday! 

Love Mikki

Pretty Copper uhh.... Hand..

I absolutely LOVE jewelry. and you can never go wrong with rings- which i happen to also LOVE. I go into the craft store telling myself I'm getting ONE thing and come out with about 30... yes i know im not the only one :) so I bought some  copper wire from Joann's and didn't know what the heck i was going to make with it (I failed miserably trying to make hoop earrings). I sat at my little sewing area and just started twisting and clipping. and this is what I've come up with...

I am in love with this ring. It sort of looks like a rose.

It is Uber comfortable and wont even slip off. I love that the copper is bendable when your working with it.
but after making this ring i tried to bend it to see if it'll lose it's shape....it doesn't... awesome right?!

When I make more I'll most likely dig out some jewels or glitter so it'll be more "sparkly" who doesnt love sparkles ehh? :)

Let me know what you think.

Until next time...
Stay true to your style :)
