<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blogging and crafting has simply come to a complete stop since having gone back to work. It's sad but true. I'm finding it almost impossible to care for a 9 month old and keep this stuff up. Don't give up on me quite yet, I just might not be as frequent as I used to be. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would however like to take this opportunity to give a good friend of mine Ann Symington some publicity for her little hobby/business. Ann has been making some great little things for babies and mom's since she's been off on maternity leave. You can check her out at the following web addresses. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently stumbled upon two sisters from Ottawa who are really great illustrators. They started a project called theDADproject (drawing a day) after having sadly lost there father to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">metastatic stage 4 colon cancer in his lungs and liver this past October. They opened an Etsy shop selling the drawings and donate $10.00 of every print sold to the Canadian Cancer Society. They have also been accepting donations from other artists on Etsy and have been selling them as a weekly feature and donating that money as well. That being said, I felt it was a very good cause and a wonderful idea, so I have donated one of my knitted goods. It will most likely be featured this Friday, Jan 21st in there shop (</span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/theDADproject">http://www.etsy.com/shop/theDADproject</a>).</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can also check out there blog to see my bio (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"> <a href="http://www.thedadproject.com/">www.theDADproject.com</a>) </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My father in law is only slightly obsessed with that place. He literally travels there at least twice a year all the way from Ottawa to hunt for ghosts, no word of a lie. I'm pretty sure if he could travel back in time he would have a giant handle bar mustache, a horse, a musket and would definitely reside in Gettysburg. That being said, he asked my husband to ask me if I could draw him a picture of a famous photo taken of 3 prisoners in Gettysburg a very long time ago. I decided to surprise him and paint him the photo instead for Christmas. Needless to say he was pretty friggin excited to see it on Christmas when he opened it. There was a lot of little detail in that painting and being the procrastinator that I am left it, for the most part, until two weeks before Christmas. There were times when I was going to give up, but I knew how stoked he would be to get it and that kept me going. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So check it out! I'll post a photo of the original as well. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was going through some files that my husband just compiled on to a massive server that he's been working on. We sadly lost some precious photos recently, so we thought it might be a good idea for us to start backing up our stuff. You'd think we would know better because it's not the first time this kind of thing has happened to us. Anyhow...I came across some scans of paintings that I did many years ago. 16 years ago to be exact! Wow, it's some what weird to think that it's been that long since high school. These 3 paintings have been in good hands for years, and those hands would be my mom's. She pretty much refuses to allow me to take any of my art from her. Oh well at least I know where they are. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here they are.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I guess I can finally start posting some of the things I have been working on that were gifts. This is a painting that I did for my brother, he is obsessed with anything wildlife, nature, and especially trees. The painting is of an Australian gum tree and has a line from the Australian nursery rhyme "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree" written on it. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is acrylic paints on a wood canvas. I attempted to cover this painting in a resin coating. It didn't quite turn out the way I had hoped, however it looked pretty cool the way it did turn out. Mixing that resin was not a fun task. I had plans to finish two table tops and this painting. Lets just say the tables went to the dumpster and some how I managed to salvage the painting. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I cannot believe how quickly the last 7 months have gone. My baby girl is 6 months old tomorrow :( She is growing and changing so fast and I'm really not looking forward to leaving her. I apologize for the lack of posts, but after Christmas it should be better. I have tons of gifts that I have made and taken photos of to post on here. I've also been working really hard on my Esty shop to get it up and running. If I don't get a chance to get back on here in the next week, I wish you all a very merry Christmas!!!!!</span>Elisha Lefebvrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05742602087271703101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025740196380820534.post-89854620717123700612010-12-06T05:41:00.000-08:002010-12-06T05:41:31.774-08:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>FUNKY BABY HEADBANDS FOR SALE ON ETSY</b></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check out my hand knit baby headbands in my Etsy shop!!!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm super excited about this and I'm saying a little prayer that it works out for me. It's officially open, i'm just working on getting the items for sale up there. Give me a few more days and it should be open for business. Here's a link to the web address: www. lolospetals79.etsy.com</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check it out and please feel free to send it to anyone you think might be interested. For now i'm still focusing on knitted items, however eventually I would like to have other items up there for sale. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks everyone for continuing to view my blog, I really appreciate it. </span>Elisha Lefebvrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05742602087271703101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025740196380820534.post-16876510690383751252010-12-01T14:59:00.000-08:002010-12-01T14:59:23.556-08:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>FIRST ORDER!!!</b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the finished product of my very first order. A cream version of the neck warmer. I love knitting this one, it's fast, really soft and pretty simple. It's got a cable in it, which is new to me, but it's not too difficult. I've been avoiding cables for a long time, so I decided to try it out to see what I was missing. I love the look of it!! Thanks Erin for being my first customer, I really appreciate it. Enjoy!!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just love knitting things for my little girl. It's honestly a never ending job because she doesn't fit into things for very long. I have been generally making her a new hat every month. I also do love for her to have a variety. Accessories are important...I think! So here's my recent creation for the wee Willow. Hello Kitty is always a great way to go. This is a neck warmer I designed for her considering it's probably not a good idea to put a scarf around a 5 month olds neck. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She loves it!!!</span><br />

However if anyone is interested in purchasing them now please feel free to contact me at ebeers79@hotmail.com and I can get you an order done up!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to work on some photos today of the work i've been doing and post them ASAP. I was without photoshop for 3 weeks and Willow was teething. It's just been hard to get on here.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm trying really hard to focus on my knitting lately and get a stock pile because I'm really hoping to open an "Etsy" shop. So that's why I haven't posted anything for a good week now. Knitting takes awhile to accomplish anything, however I have managed to finished two hats and a scarf this week. I'm also finding as the baby gets older she is much more demanding :) She is my main priority, obviously. Thank god it's Friday...daddy is home for two days!!! Well i'll try to keep up with this a little more in the next couple of days. Happy Friday!!!</span><br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made little Ruthie a stuffed owl for her birthday. I really love owls, especially stuffed owls...they are super cute. I pulled out my bin of fabric and decided to make a denim owl. I was also kind of going for an Asian kind of look with the colors and the choice of ribbon. Anyways, I really love this owl and I hope that Ruth does too. </span> </div><div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My good friends little girl turns 1 on Sunday. So as part of her birthday gift I did a pencil sketch of her. It's officially finished and framed. I can't believe it's already been a year since she was born. In no time my little Willow will be one. It's pretty crazy how fast time really flies when you are having fun. Here's a photo of the finished product.</span> <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are nearing the end of our two week salad challenge, but really hasn't really been a challenge at all. However some seem to think poor Marty is starving to death. I just happened to mention that some were mentioning having a week of steak on the drive home from work last night. Low and behold what does he decides he wants for dinner....STEAK...yuk!!! I'm not a red meat eater so that idea was not so appealing to me. I figured I had tortured him enough with salads, so I allowed him to break the streak and have steak and cheese sandwiches (with a side of salad of course). I myself went ahead and ate my really delicious fig salad. I would have to say this one was my favorite of all of them. So many combinations of flavors that all worked really well together. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was also told that It was mandatory that I post photos of his steak...so here are the pics.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently discovered these cute little creations all over the internet and was surprised I had never heard of them before. For whatever reason they got me really excited and I couldn't stop talking about wanting to make them. My friends little girls 1st birthday is this weekend and we were asked to bring a little something to eat. What better opportunity then a birthday party to make cake pops!! It was a really fun project and they taste really good too. A little bit time consuming, but hey...I'm on maternity leave! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Very very easy to make too. I just used a chocolate cake mix and some chocolate icing. You simply bake the cake and then crumble the entire thing in a bowl. Mix in a tub of icing and form balls. I froze the balls for about 4 hours (sucker sticks in before freezing). Then I melted some pink chocolate pieces (bought at Michaels) and dipped them in. Sprinkled a few little sprinkles on them and voila! I'm geek so I went all out and wrapped them in individual sucker bags and added some ribbon. Hey, I have a lot of decorations left over from the candy bar that I had at my wedding last year. Here's some pics of the process. </span><br />

I'd have a hell of a lot more weight to loose right now if that was the case. </span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d7rUMvYxS-c/TL4cSC5qhKI/AAAAAAAAAHk/U3Bt2uRQNO0/s1600/watermelon+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d7rUMvYxS-c/TL4cSC5qhKI/AAAAAAAAAHk/U3Bt2uRQNO0/s400/watermelon+3.jpg" width="400" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A while back I was watching one of the many shows that I enjoy on the food network. They had an episode dedicated purely to watermelon and things that you can make with watermelon. Who knew it would be delicious in a salad!? Every since I've been making different variations of watermelon salad. This one was super delicious and here is the recipe for you. </span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Ingredients</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Watermelon (of course)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lettuce of your choice, I used baby spinach</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grilled chicken breast (I marinated mine in a bit of olive oil, lime juice and honey)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Crumbled goat cheese</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Toasted sunflower seeds</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fresh mint</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Balsamic Vinegar (simmered on medium heat until it forms a syrup)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sea Salt </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Black Pepper</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Olive oil</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fresh lime juice</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d7rUMvYxS-c/TL4cZY9v6-I/AAAAAAAAAHo/fb3Q8jPzJBo/s1600/watermelon+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d7rUMvYxS-c/TL4cZY9v6-I/AAAAAAAAAHo/fb3Q8jPzJBo/s400/watermelon+2.jpg" width="400" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7rUMvYxS-c/TL4ceFW2O1I/AAAAAAAAAHs/jz6FaqBIyqY/s1600/watermelon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d7rUMvYxS-c/TL4ceFW2O1I/AAAAAAAAAHs/jz6FaqBIyqY/s400/watermelon.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Elisha Lefebvrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05742602087271703101noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025740196380820534.post-89384063881353432342010-10-18T17:31:00.000-07:002010-10-18T17:31:21.619-07:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-large;">WEEK TWO, SALAD ONE....COBB!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are now officially into week two of eating salad every night for dinner. I'm actually not sick of eating salad at all and I'm kind of looking forward to the rest of the week. My thoughts today were that I might potentially try out a two week period of eating only vegetarian meals for dinner. Does anyone actually know if statistically speaking vegetarians end up having better health??? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found some really great vegetarian entrees in the LCBO magazine that I might try out. Speaking of LCBO and it's magazine, has that some how been taken off the press??? I haven't seen one in a very long time and it is quite disappointing. I love the recipes out of it and always look forward to the new one coming out. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyways, back to salad....tonight's salad was probably one of my favorites out of all of them so far. It was a light cobb salad with a really great dressing. Here is the recipe...I did substitute a few of the ingredients. I am NOT a fan of blue cheese, I find it quite repulsing. So I used an applewood smoked cheddar, my favorite cheese. I also stupidly forgot that the avocado that I had bought was for that salad and used it making guac this weekend. So simply there was no avocado.</span> <br />
