I have plans of turning these into <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/RhyahPapaya?section_id=5954650">camera straps</a> for my shop - which have been selling like hotcakes lately. <span id="goog_654526207"></span><span id="goog_654526208"></span>I can't wait to get started! <br />

There are so many things I want to try, my head is often left spinning, not knowing which direction I'm headed.<br />
<br />
It's exhausting. But, I think it's engraved in my DNA, so I think I'm just going to have to learn to live with it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, my latest interest has been graphic design. You see, I have two little people to take care of at home. The hubs and I came to an understanding that once they're of school age I would have to go find a job. Well, being at home for 4+ years makes me really dread the idea of ever working for someone else again. While I do have <a href="http://www.rhyahpapaya.com/">my etsy shop</a>, I'm not sure it will ever be successful enough to generate an income large enough to really contribute. I'd really like to be able to work from home, though, so I can go on school field trips with my kids and be there without question when they're sick and need to come home, etc.<br />
<br />
Enter graphic design. I feel like this will be something I can do freelance from home and {hopefully} make a decent income at the same time. So, I downloaded a free trial version of Adobe Illustrator and completely fell in love. I mean, head-over-heels. In. Love. <br />
<br />
So, I've been scouring the web, practicing, and playing {I've even looked into taking classes.} While I was at it, I figured I would create a fun little printable for St. Patrick's Day. I put together a sheet of twelve 2 inch round graphics perfect for cupcake toppers, stickers, hang tags or whatever your heart desires.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/50133417/Lucky-You-re-Mine"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjpjkAP3ECdk6Hvo0fKZDYHPd-Iwc6aMUWeuUiZSUMggQGStvwjHm3YBVZu1Qe-rU96wB1lnId9X9CyNis5XG7KCtNv5LREA8lx-PUZKQKitv_1UE4Fo6THNL8G8f27MnbjTf8Z3j43Mt-/s200/Lucky_You%2527re_Mine.gif" width="196" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">click image to download </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: normal;">I also created a <a href="http://www.lifewiththelohjas.blogspot.com/">new blog</a> for the soul purpose of designing and tweaking the html. </span>I don't know if I'll ever do anything with it, but it sure was fun designing. And of course, I couldn't stop there, so I gave <a href="http://www.rookiefarmers.blogspot.com/">my mom's blog</a> a face lift too. It's addicting, really. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, I hope you enjoy the printable. Oh, and if there are white lines on the sheet, please know that they won't show up on the printed copy. I just don't know how to get rid of them yet. :) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I'm not calling it quits, just re-prioritizing.<br />

I'll definitely pop in every now and then to say hello and post photos of whatever projects I've been working on.

<br />
It took about 24 hours of crochet, but I got it done by the time she came to visit on Monday. Yep, 7 short days to make an approximately 50 inch square blanket. I think I saw smoke coming from my fingers a few times. It was worth it though.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today, I thought I would share an inexpensive way to spice up a large wall with big impact. I actually put this together a few years ago with different paper, but decided to change it up a bit for Valentine's Day.<br />
<br />
With a collection of 12 x12 frames {bought at Hobby Lobby on sale for 50% off} and various coordinating prints of pretty scrap book paper {as well a hammer, some nails and a level} The hubs and I put this together in under an hour<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiNstdeqZ1YSS_kpbgXS0qEFEg4VwprlNEjM2VM-LRJPEpeP-P65RK12J_fuXldiq8aAZbC4AWpWE36fDr1PtDhq0ryEJMIBb2C9Ly6gkHtzrb8L5O8Iu5ngc4sxyyoR1tPjyzk0_qGULq/s1600/wall+art_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiNstdeqZ1YSS_kpbgXS0qEFEg4VwprlNEjM2VM-LRJPEpeP-P65RK12J_fuXldiq8aAZbC4AWpWE36fDr1PtDhq0ryEJMIBb2C9Ly6gkHtzrb8L5O8Iu5ngc4sxyyoR1tPjyzk0_qGULq/s400/wall+art_1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
The thing I love most about this? It can be changed up in a matter of minutes to match the season or holiday <i>and</i> you can store the out of season paper in the back, so there's nothing to put in storage. <br />
<br />
Don't you just love the subway art Valentine's Day paper? I found it at Joann's and knew I had to have it! <br />
<br />
I would love to hear if you try this. I know you'll love it. Everyone who walks in my house is dumbfounded by 1.} the fact that I did it myself 2.} how amazing it looks on a large wall 3.} how inexpensive it was to make such a huge impact.Rhyah--http://www.blogger.com/profile/05049548181402588717noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075570457005271779.post-33347410136057531562011-01-16T22:14:00.001-06:002011-01-16T22:14:44.955-06:00Craft ShowSo. I just realized that I completely forgot to share the details of my craft show with you guys. Oops! Better late then never? I guess that's what having two little ones tugging on your shirt tails does to a girl. <br />
<br />
The show was a huge success in my opinion, an opinion that's based on three previous craft shows where I managed to just barely break even. But, I was selling different wares and the economy was in a very different place when I did those shows. Of course, I gained a lot of experience with those shows and gave myself ample time to prepare this time around.<br />
<br />
Anyway, on to the details.<br />
<br />
As mentioned in <a href="http://www.darningdiva.blogspot.com/search?q=craft+show">previous posts</a>, I spent hours upon hours preparing for the show. I searched the web endlessly for inspiration for displays, shopped till I could shop no more {who am I kidding, I thoroughly enjoyed that part} and of course sewed and sewed and sewed {yeah, I enjoyed that part too.}<br />
<br />

And that left me yearning to decorate for Valentine's Day! As a lot of us are these days, we're on a pretty tight budget around here, so I hit up the dollar store for a quick V-Day craft.<br />
<br />
In my haste to put this project together and add some pink and red to my house, I forgot to take some photos along the way. I'm sure you can figure it out though. :)<br />
<br />
I'm definitely not the first one to come up with this idea, but it was time I jumped on the bandwagon. So, I went to the dollar store and bought a glass candlestick and hurricane. Then I mated those two long lost love birds with E6000 to create create this pretty little combination. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwQ_LictyPXGOwCo2EOomfrVDtMP-wxYHwwIr9nnkpOKBZ5oGQLGQo6X9pnVfGWR-CKlyppKAvaKJoT0NV1TaW-8PPIlESsjBf6XYrenxPPBqmiVXLvxLooYYKSc2aJdBharNCOOTY3Vxr/s1600/hurricane1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwQ_LictyPXGOwCo2EOomfrVDtMP-wxYHwwIr9nnkpOKBZ5oGQLGQo6X9pnVfGWR-CKlyppKAvaKJoT0NV1TaW-8PPIlESsjBf6XYrenxPPBqmiVXLvxLooYYKSc2aJdBharNCOOTY3Vxr/s640/hurricane1.jpg" width="315" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>While at the Dollar Store I also picked up some {four bags} hearts on sticks. I can't remember what they called them. Some sort of Pick I think.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi637OV-q2ZdsiH3U8JLE6ia5UxjBsK3ZJOobspyvOD4vdWlR9QRODRDNQrGi5u3OnAcVVhZWcEj-e0KN_R7HsoHYu6zS3EK4zN-cQQHtn-ff1monj-lFIv2JL19vrDxRRtbaQzhY1z4-xe/s1600/hurricane3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi637OV-q2ZdsiH3U8JLE6ia5UxjBsK3ZJOobspyvOD4vdWlR9QRODRDNQrGi5u3OnAcVVhZWcEj-e0KN_R7HsoHYu6zS3EK4zN-cQQHtn-ff1monj-lFIv2JL19vrDxRRtbaQzhY1z4-xe/s400/hurricane3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
The hearts are made of styrofoam so the sticks pulled right out. Once I freed all of my hearts I <strike>plopped</strike> strategically placed them in my new hurricane.<br />
<br />

<br />
Five minutes {if you don't count drying time} and six dollars. That's my kind of craft!<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend!<br />

Somewhat. Is there ever really a routine when you have children?<br />
<br />
Anyway, now that things are back to normal, I figured I'd share our Christmas adventure with you. After all, I did <a href="http://darningdiva.blogspot.com/2010/12/home-sweet-home.html">promise</a>. <br />
<br />
My brother, who lives in California with his Beautiful wife, had never met my little guy Kainen. Since he's 18 months already (woah, really?!) I decided it was time we rectified that problem. We packed our car and headed for the open road. From Illinois. That's 36 hours in the car. One. Way.<br />
<br />
We started off at night to knock out a good portion of the trip while the kids were sleeping. With <a href="http://darningdiva.blogspot.com/2010/12/toddler-travel-pillow-tutorial.html">travel pillows</a> in place, they were sure to be comfy for the long ride.<br />
<br />

The sights were stunning, and the kids were in good spirits. It was a good trip. After only (ha!) 12 more hours of driving, we finally arrived and were greeted by this handsome fellow.<br />

And in case you weren't sure, we live in a suburb of Chicago so that meant about 36 hours of driving. One. way. Whew!<br />
<br />
I'm happy to say, we all made it back in one piece with nary a complaint from anyone. Well, maybe one or two. After all, 36 hours in a car is a lot to ask of someone, especially children. But we made it. We had a blast and I have lots to share with you. <br />
<br />
I'm still working on getting back into a normal routine, so for now I'll leave you with a cute photo of my kids dressed in their Christmas pajamas. I promise a detailed account of our trip soon. <br />

<br />
Aaanyway...we're going to be taking off to California for Christmas soon and I decided to make my kids some travel neck pillows to help keep them comfortable for the <i><b>loooong</b></i> car ride. Yes. We're driving. I know, we must be nuts. Please say a prayer for us.<br />
<br />

That's how we roll around here!</span></i></div><br />
I had a hard time finding a good tutorial online, so I thought I would walk you through how I made mine. It's a very straight forward pattern and took maybe 30 minutes to make, with the most time consuming parts being cutting and stuffing (and of course pinning - I hate pinning!)<br />
<br />
Materials needed:<br />
- Fabric of your choice. I used quilting cotton on top and minkee on the bottom - hence the pinning.<br />
- polyfil - or stuffing of your choice<br />
- pins<br />
- thread<br />
- scissors<br />
- needle for hand sewing opening shut<br />
- sewing machine<br />
- chopstick or knitting needle for stuffing and poking <br />
<br />
Here's how I made my pattern. I made the back part thinner so it wouldn't push my kids heads forward.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikW1kERdI4T1d4-rCtsDtTP-GbCJkJWrDGg0qzfhyEOsIZM9Ue1Qi9sEF8iSeDO3EKho7B7WYtDc1pPXEIJRVKfkOhiRYC0dDFA2nEdZP0bcQumW2eL7MhLOcaQLd_AHyvHZ6vacU5eoE4/s1600/Toddler+Neck+Pillow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikW1kERdI4T1d4-rCtsDtTP-GbCJkJWrDGg0qzfhyEOsIZM9Ue1Qi9sEF8iSeDO3EKho7B7WYtDc1pPXEIJRVKfkOhiRYC0dDFA2nEdZP0bcQumW2eL7MhLOcaQLd_AHyvHZ6vacU5eoE4/s400/Toddler+Neck+Pillow.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>After you make your pattern and cut it out, cut two pieces from your fabric.<br />
<br />

Pin your two pieces together all the way around, right sides facing. Be sure to leave a gap for turning on one of the straight ends. I like to mark the opening with two pins on either side so I don't forget as I'm sewing along. <br />
<br />

Sew your pieces together with a 1/2 inch seam allowance, making sure to remove the pins as you go. I like to sew the outside edge first, then the inside circle and finish with the straight ends.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOB77bdPNNnPVV4W2vF7yxuyrzNNRFiOgR9pcYUnYiOQIse8tSA5ombSDvz7-GCcjetLEkCx8lkOCI8psQ1oeKYKMfhM-3ehrSdEJ4EK2v1NmTPw6hZMpeF45Cj8ze-FbeA-GrcR0dCnyQ/s1600/DSC_2200.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOB77bdPNNnPVV4W2vF7yxuyrzNNRFiOgR9pcYUnYiOQIse8tSA5ombSDvz7-GCcjetLEkCx8lkOCI8psQ1oeKYKMfhM-3ehrSdEJ4EK2v1NmTPw6hZMpeF45Cj8ze-FbeA-GrcR0dCnyQ/s400/DSC_2200.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Once you've sewn all the way around, trim your corners and seam allowances to reduce bulk. Also, snip the inside circle and notch the outside to make everything lay nice and flat without puckering. Be careful not to snip through your stitches. That would be bad. I may or may not speak from experience.<br />

After you're done snipping, it's time to turn it right side out through the opening that you left.<br />

Ok, time to stuff it! You'll want to use small pieces of stuffing to keep it from getting lumpy. Use your chopstick or the back end of your knitting needle to cram it all the way down into the corners. Stuff it nice and firm so it really provides good support for your precious child's neck. <br />

Once you have it nice and firm, hand stitch it closed with your preferred stitch. I like to use a <a href="http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/04/how-to_close_a_seam_with_the_l.html">ladder stitch</a> for a nice clean finish. I'm a bad blogger and forgot to take a photo of this step. Shame shame!<br />
<br />
Look at that! You're done. Sit back and admire your handy work. :)<br />

I found this treasury just seconds into my search and there was no question that this would be the one I would feature today. Aqua and pink is such a beautiful color combination and I love the items that the curator chose to highlight here. Enjoy!<br />

There are only 6 days until the craft show I'm participating in. This means I'm running around like a mad woman trying to tie up all of the loose ends and make sure I have everything I need to make this show a success.<br />
<br />
I've sewed and sewed and sewed some more for the past few months and finally have an inventory that I'm quite proud of. Now that I'm decently comfortable with how many items I have to offer at the show, I'm moving on to presentation type details. I sent about 100 lunch bags through my printer today to end up with 45 acceptable bags to package small items in. I've spent countless hours in Photoshop creating artwork for signs and tags and now I'm gathering all of my display props, clerical necessities, and behind the scenes type stuff.<br />
<br />
I hope with every fiber of my being that all of this hard work and preparation is not in vain. But even if it is, I'll at least have a boat load of new items to add to my etsy shop, <a href="http://www.rhyahpapaya.com/">Rhyah Papaya</a>.<br />
<br />
Here is the flier I created with all of the information for the show. If you're in the greater Chicago-land area, I'd love it if you came by to say hello! <br />

I had originally planned on curating all of the featured treasuries myself, but time is just not on my side lately. So, I browsed the treasuries already curated and found this little gem. Isn't it beautiful? Enjoy!<br />

I feel like I have been doing nothing but sewing for the past few months. I'm sure my husband and kids will be so relieved when the show is over so I can become and active participant in our family again.<br />
<br />
I have lots of new things to offer in the show, which will be added to my shop after the holidays. Along with my typical card wallets, coffee cozies and sanitizer key chains (my three best sellers) I started making wristlets, zippered pouches, purses and camera straps. Oh my! Yes I've been busy!<br />
<br />
As promised here are some photos of what I've been up to:<br />

I love supporting handmade artists and there's so much talent on etsy, I thought this would be a nice way to recognize some of the incredible talent out there. Enjoy! <br />

I'm finally starting to feel like I'll have enough items to have a well stocked booth, but I still have a ton of sewing to do. I've figured out that I need to get in a solid three hours of sewing each day to meet my goals. Yeah, I went all organized with it and made a spread sheet and everything. I'll tell ya what though, it's been one of the best things I've done yet. It has really kept me on track with production. But I digress.<br />
<br />
The other best thing I did? Ordering business cards instead of trying to go all DIY like I usually do. I decided to cut myself a break and ordered them from <a href="http://www.overnightprints.com/">Overnight Prints</a>. And let me tell ya, they are <i><b>gorgeous!</b></i><br />

See? I told you they were pretty. :) I designed them myself with my handy-dandy Photoshop Elements software and uploaded them right to their site. I ordered premium cards with UV coating to make them nice and shiny. And shiny they are. I feel like such a big girl now! <br />
<br />
I'll be back in a few days to share all kinds of yummy photos of my stock.

Is anyone out there? So sorry for the recent silence around here! I have been sewing my fingers to the bone to prepare for a holiday craft show. The show is only six weeks out, so I've been taking every spare moment {like I have a lot of those, with two little people under foot} to crank out as many products for the show as possible. More on that later though, this post is about Halloween. <br />
<br />
Sharing our Halloween photos with you all was something that just couldn't be put off. My daughter is in love with the Wizard of Oz and even puts on little shows for us by singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow and can often be seen skipping around singing We're Off to See the Wizard.<br />
<br />
So, her costume was a no-brainer this year. She would be Dorothy. I made her costume for a total of I think $3. I didn't have the time to make a lion costume for my son, so his was a Target special. Mine and my husbands costumes were thrown together at the last minute with poster board, burlap and felt. Everyone we encountered loved our costumes, but most importantly, the kids had a blast! Enjoy!<br />
