smokey berry eyes tutorial

So I talked last week about sharing another one of my new looks with Nessa's Naturals. Here it is..

It is a really smokey berry colored eye. I use berry dazzle on the main part of the lid then in the crease and outer corner I use smoke monster for a under the brow highlight is halo and I brighten the inner eye corner with blingy but you can use halo for that too. I used a felt tip liquid liner this time .

since this is more of a smokey eye I keep the lips and cheeks lighter

just a bit of a cream blush on the apples of my cheeks . I really love this look :) Hope you guys enjoy it.

cute lace table (came home)

So my cute lace table came home and I had the choice to repaint it or keep it. and it is too freakin cute in my living room. (notice my coffee cup I did for myself too )

I so was not sure when I first did this table but I REALLY love it now

Who would have thunk but this little 2$ 70s table is soo sweet.

I find myself always sitting on the love seat so that I can use it :)

I have another thing I wanted to share with you guys you might remember this cute vintage suit case refurb.. well my sis gave me a little case to re do and here it is..

I decoupaged it and decked it out and now I love it!!! Well time to get ready for work see you later.

once upon a time/ Snow whites make up

So I don't know about you guys but me and my girls are huge fans of of Once Upon a time. We love it and I know I have mentioned before my love of Gennifer Goodwin. She is cute as a button.

And there is some really great make up going on in Once Upon A Time. Above is a pic of the lovely Gennifer as snow white. Her make up is light and pretty and I followed this video but with my make up

Here is how it turned out.

This has been one of my favorite day time looks lately. It is bright and pretty.

It is a sparkly pretty look. Here is What I used for my eyes. I did Nessa's Naturals bligy for the lid, fog for the crease and them halo for under the brow. they eye brows are very important in this look Here is a great video for brows. I did the outer corners only with liner and I used mocha for that. I also paid special attention to the tear duct area with bligy.

very pretty and sparkly. (please ignore my red allergy eyes)

Well I don't know about you but I certainly enjoy feeling more like a princess!

Well I am off for work feeling like snow white herself :)

a robbery and a mullet

So we have gone through soo much drama lately. There has been some good some bad and some ugly (literally) So I will start with some good things. I am in love with a company we are carrying at italy ava.

It is called Nessa's Naturals and I am wearing some of her shadows in the pic above (berry dazzle on the lid, smoke monster on the outer corner and crease, and halo to highlight under the brow. ) I am loving them and will share some of the other great ones I have picked up another day.

also loving my cowls. I love them Super cozy and cute. Now for the ugly side of things...when we got home from one Christmas and were doing laundry and cleaning up fire monster got a hold of scissors and she cut her own hair.

Yes into a mullet. The best we could do was this..

I will just have to keep trying to grow it and trim it until it looks normal. but that wasn't the end of a awful week. Our car was broke into and we had got the girls dual portable dvd players for the car and they were stolen as well as the one we bought almost 5 years ago with our wedding money and all of our chargers and our copy of beezus and ramona!! I am super bummed because the way we do things is one big gift and then a few small ones so the girls big gift (which they split) is gone. We did get a generous gift from one of my hubby's friends of dvd player to replace it that helped ease things for our 5 hour each way road trip to my hubby's side of the family's Christmas this last weekend. It wasn't as smooth as our old one.

but what is with fire monster around lol here she is with her toy stuck on her arm later that week. this took a screw driver a half hour and some soapy water. So anyway off to get some stuff done.

What youve missed

So tons has been going on and I haven't always had time to stop and share with you guys. I threw a couple of things up from my phone quick though. :) Since fire monster started her first year of school this year I decided I should knit her a sweater and here it is. I made jb048 from james c brett and I love the pattern but hated marble chunky!!!

Here is the back you can see the pretty braided cable there a bit better. :) I really do love it.

This is going to be a very random post of things I just haven't remembered to share with you guys so please don't mind me. But here is another milk glass lamp I grabbed and made into a bed side lamp. Found the lamp shade at the ever evil walmart for 5$!!!! I think it works perfect since this is more of a brass then the silver my others have been and I don't have to paint this way besides it was in quiet nice condition.

Here is a little side table I refurbished by painting it grey and yellow with some different disigns I made using painters tape. I think it is super cute. It is still in Italy Ava.

This is what I did with my family pictures I had them made into copies with a plain old color copy machine and we got the to the right size in black and whites and then did the color copies when we got it right and even with paying for all the mess ups it was just over 3$!! then I decoupaged them onto wooden boxes I got on clearance at Micheals and hung them with twine from a sign my sister had given me. It said martini lounge and I didn't need that so I painted it with chalk board paint and there you have it our family wall art was born :)

These are another great find that I am just in love with. These vintage suitcases cost me a total of 2.50!! Granted when I bought them they were ugly and the little one said property of Jane and Tarzan ski on the side but I painted them out and then bought some wall decals and cut them into the shapes I wanted stuck them on the side and I have adorable matching luggage for us and the kids :) I love them too much

Aren't they soo cute. Anyway I am up to my ears in custom orders for the shop and have errands to be running any minute when the hubby gets home from work :) I hope to share more with you guys soon. I will have to show you what happened to some of the mess ups from the copy shop here in town ;)

So I haven't posted in ages (sorry guys) I have been crazy busy working but I had to share my holiday decorations so far this year :) Here is the tree so far. We don't do one of the fancy matching trees. Our tree is all sentimental ornaments we add to every year. (and I can't find my tree skirt lol)

Here are the pine cones me and evea made last year and I made some christmas trees with foam cones I hot glued yarn around them and added some buttons. I haven't found any thing I like for the tops yet :)

Here is my ball wreath I made last year :)

I chose to stick with the peacockish colors I used on the wreath and I have a unhealthy obsession with Christmas bulbs So I So this is the table this year.

Here is our living room book shelf. :)

and this is something that we whipped up the other day with a thrift shop frame and some ribbon and christmas bulbs

That is mostly it :) I have a swag on the door from a gfs daughters fundraiser. and my big white coffee filter on is on the inside of the front door. Well people time to get back to work. I can't have people getting frostbite on their ears because I am knitting to slow lol.

crock pot catastrophe

so yesterday was Halloween. Which means a busy day in our house. I was up early showered and ready to drive fire monster to school on time (which is rare in our house) went to grab the spare keys (since monkey butt lots my set) and ben had taken my keys so I was late anyway. So I went to her party came home threw a roast in MY NEW TWO WEEK OLD CROCK POT with all the accompaniments since we were having the neighbors over for dinner and then went down to vacuum where I found someone *cough monkey butt* cough must have vacuumed up a gerbil or something there was a huge clog I had to dig out of my vacuum hose then when that lovely drawn out process was over and I actually got vacuuming done I went up to tidy up and found there was some BBQ sauce leaking onto the counter under the crock pot. I thought that is weird and grabbed some pot holders and went to lift out the ceramic part and that is when this happened!!!

THERE WAS NO BOTTOM ANYMORE TO MY TWO WEEK OLD CROCK POT!!! Are you stinking kidding me!!

yup still in the bottom of the pan I stabbed the roast with a fork threw it in a pot on low in the oven and added all the onions, BBQ sauce, bell pepper ect. again and went on my way. But seriously. I think I must have a talk with the crock pot people. Every one is like" you should return it" but how the heck am I supposed to return this mess !! and the worst part I don't have a crock pot again and I just replaced my one that got cracked in the move!!! dang it.

This is how my days have been latley lol Well I have nothing happening tomorrow so after my first day of work at italy ava today I crawled into my pjs and I don't plan on getting out any time soon (unless it is to take a nice long bath)
