Magic Kingdom at Disneyworld - Day 2

We had a fantastic day at Disneyworld's Magic Kingdom.  We rode just about everyride in Tomorrowland and Fantasyland.  Laura and I even rode Space Mountain, which is major for me since I don't ride rollercoaster rides (too chicken!).  I got driven by my 7 year old son Alex at the Tommorrowland Speedway!  Alex got an autograph from one of his favorites, Buzz Lightyear and Laura from Chip and Dale (one of her favorites).  The evening was spectacular with the Main Street Electrtical Parade, followed by the Magic, The Memories and You! (Castle filled with a light show) and the Wishes Nighttime Specatacular...and it was spectacular!  Looking forward to returning later in the week to see the rest of Magic Kingdom.

Today we are headed to Universal's The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.



Vintage Mickey...love it.



We are off to our Disney Vacation!!

We are leaving our beautiful but cold city for our vacation in Orlando, Florida.  Walt Disney World, Harry Potter and Lego land, here we come!

Vintage Music Paper and Tulle Christmas Trees

The Mansion hosting the Sugar Plum Bazaar was decorated to reflect the theme...Sugar Plum.  Common areas had these beautiful tulle trees throughout...yummy colors.  Of course, the tulle tree was one I wanted to create...just for fun!

This is my pink tulle tree.  I added as silver star as a topper and randomly added my favorite, silver glass glitter.

Love how the pink tulle pops with the snow!

 

Vintage Music Paper  Trees is something else that has recently caught my eye.  I created a few and played around with different toppers.  I got 3 these little ornament toppers at a recent shopping trip to Crate & Barrel...love to shop at that store!  The topper with the little cluster of balls is from Hobby Lobby (although, it did not come this way, I created the clusters of  little ornament beads together and of course, added silver glass glitter).

These trees were all rather time consuming.  I was surprised to find they are not a quick projects.  The papers trees required much patience, especially with applying decoupage medium and sprinkling of silver glass glitter to every layer (pretty messy but I don't mind messy when I am crafting).   I am happy with the results.

Many New Felted Wool Scarves!

This year, inspired by crochet flowers, dress-forms, butterflies and birds, my scarves reflected those preferences.  Creating the double layered soft scarves this year was a reflection of my love of ruffles.  The instructions for the ruffle scarfs were in a magazine article written by Betz White.  This posting also comes with many photos of all the scarves I have done.  Some remain for sale at my upcoming craft show at Bear Creek High School, many have been sold and others have become gifts.  They were just fun to make!
