My oldest son has started playing the guitar and was given a hand me down hard case. This was at Christmas time.. well the lining was just in crumbles due to it being 30+ years old!! I kept saying I was going to redo it for him.. well it was time!
This was the shell after I spent almost a hour trying to get all the BITS out. 
It took me even longer to get the cardboard inserts.. and here I thought I was a master of all things cardboard.. HA! 
All the cardboard covered with batting and one side covered in the material my son picked out. 
I thought I was going to need more supplies, but I thought on it over night and figured out a way to make it work.. and I even have some left! 
And here it is all finished.. just waiting for a guitar! 
Its been so long since I posted or did anything.. I should be lashed with et noodles for a week.. Ive got alot of pictures and stuff to post.. will have to just DO IT!

swine flu? and some project 365 pictures
Well.. this Tue will be SEVEN WEEKS that I have been sick.. and I'm not talking a little cold.. I'm talking SICK IN BED. They tested me at the begin of all this for the swine flu.. I guess I didn't have it.. no one ever said I do or I don't.. I've been to Dr after Dr.. no one has a clue what's wrong with me.. I've had a fever for 6 weeks.. and a cough and a sore throat.. I'm so done with this!! The kids have been great about it all.. I seem to always fall asleep in the recliner.. and when I do.. the boys turn everything off and sneak out..lol making sure I'm all cozy and left alone.. SO SWEET.. They have really grown up.. and turning into amazing little me.. I'm so very proud of them..
I've been slacking on posting the 365 pictures.. every chance I get (normally when I go to the Drs..lol) I take my camera and see what I can take a picture of. I will try and start posting a few when I can.. I need to get back into the swing of things.. and back into designing.. I feel like I've lost my best friend since I've been sick and not able to design.. I'm using a new book frame I did.. hopefully it will be available soon.

WOWZERS
So I've been sick for over 3 weeks.. was tested for the piggie flu.. I guess I don't have it.. no one called to tell me.. I said I would make some costumes for my oldest sons end of the year play.. well due to being sick for 3 weeks.. IM BEHIND!!! I did get the mummy outfit done and sent.. I also had to make 2 Roman soldiers.. the play is next TUE.. had I not been sick I would have been done.. EEKS.. I still need to make the other kids body armor.. then both their flanged skirt thingies.. and if I have time.. leg armor and arm armor.. this is what I have done after 2 nights till 3am.. the main problem is.. the 2nd kid is HALF the size of Logan.. lol so I cant just make 2 of everything.. I have to make Logan's.. then shrink one.. Lemme tell you.. If I have to battle.. I'm tossing one of these helmets on..lol talk about BUILT TOUGH.. who knew cardboard and hot clue could be stronger then metal!
~~~~~~~~~ADDED~~~~~~~~
I forgot to say.. this is all made with cardboard.. except for the inside shield . Each helmet is made from alittle over half a box ( approx12x12 box) the parts left over is what im using to make the flange (just finished both sets.. just need to decorate and paint)

Project 365.. really behind.. but still going!
I've been taking pictures every chance I get.. I just haven't been able to do much more then that.. so I worked a little bit tonight.. still have tons more to go.. but here are a few more off my list!
These 2 are from Sandia Peak. I cant wait till warmer weather so we can go and enjoy it more there 
I grew up playing with this ashtray.. no one ever used it for what it was made for.. it always had candy and other neat things in it.. its HUGE.. about 14 inches across.. if not more. 
FINALLY signs that spring is indeed here 
These are actually “weeds” they are growing all over the neighborhoods around here.. no rhyme or reason.. just everywhere.. which is FINE by me.. they are so pretty! 
Taken about 3am.. on one of the many potty breaks .. when we first got the puppies 
Anyone who knows my husband knows.. DO NOT fall asleep in the living room.. or this will be your fate.. 
One of many great shots I got from doing a recent photo shoot. a true natural she is! Her mother announced.. I WILL be doing many more shoots! YIPPY!!
