#160 C is for

Well, It's Thursday, and it's time for a new challenge at Mo's and we thought we'd try something new.  So for this week we went with the letter "C".   So for me C is for, Cute Cat Costume.  I did this as a commissioned card for someone to give to a new mom who's birthday is on Halloween.  It is a card from a Baby to a Mom.  So I though that the sentiment I came up with was appropriate from a little one...  Anyway, I used adorable littleKitty Kai which you can find
HERE and HERE

I hope I inspired someone to join in on the fun, I can't wait to see what you come up with, just don't for get to use one of Mo's images. If you need more inspiration don't forget to visit the rest of the teams blogs they really out did themselves and came up with some great ideas just click HERE to see what they came up with and as Pat always says, don't forget to leave them a little love.

Sandy's Destruction of Rockaway

These are some of the pictures of Shore Front Parkway, the street where I live.  The blocks are short and all this is walking distance from my house.  I did not take these pictures but someone named Stephen Pekar did and I downloaded them so you can see the massive destruction.  They are not expected to restore electricity  until mid December.  The Mayor finally said that Rockaway was the hardest hit area in New York.  About time you realized there are 4 other boroughs besides Manhattan.

The end building of my complex which with the boardwalk smashed into it there are 5 building next to each other, mine is the the the third one and had pieces of the boardwalk on it also

The basket ball court covered in sand where my son Michael played al the time

One of the hand ball courts

This is the complex where one of the teachers I work with lives

This is where I turn to go over the bridge to go to work

This is Beach 91st Street where I first lived when I got married and both  my boys were born.  As you can see, it is
 un-passable since the boardwalk with street light attached is blocking it. This is on Shore Front Parkway where I live now but only a few block up the road.

No more Boardwalk as you can see

The building next to me

These are just some of the blocks around me.  Like I said I am fine, my family is fine.  Thank you everyone for your prayers.

Lots of hugs

#158 Cute & Cuddly

Well, it's time for Mo's which means it's Thursday and this weeks theme is Cute and Cuddly.   I used this cute little Fairy called Kiki to make a card for a baby shower.  My Sister-in-Law asked me to make  a baby blanket for a shower that she is going to for a co-workers daugher.  They know it is a girl so I was asked to do the blanket in purple. I guess that they are doing the room in those colors.    Once  I saw this lilac, I knew I had to make this blanket and use this  Fairy called Baby Fairy Kiki which you can find HERE.  I fell in love with her.  I just want to pinch that little behind.  She is just so precious and to me so cute.

So here is a picture of the card

The pattern for the blanket is called Alex's Baby Blanket and can be found on Raverly

I also made matching booties and but after the picture was taken

I hope I inspired someone to join in on the fun, I can't wait to see what you come up with, just don't for get to use one of Mo's images.

C is for Candy Corn

Please scroll down to see my Mo's Digital Pencil Post.  

This is my little peanut he is 4 months old, and with the cold weather approaching, I decided to make him this adorable Candy Corn hat...  So far I've made 4 of these, two small, one medium, and one large.  These were so quick and easy to make.   I used Cascade Alpaca 220 yarn, in Orange, Yellow and White and this is the end result.

These are two out of the four.  I made two for my little nephews whom I call my peanuts cause they were so small when they were born, and two for my Assistant Principals who each have a grandson.  One born at the same time as my little peanut but he was almost 10 pounds so I call  him my meatball.  They were a HUGE hit with everyone!!!!

Can't wait to make the Santa hats which are next on the list...lol

Thanks for stopping by...Debbie
