    After winning six gongs at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night, it looks like Justin Bieber has decided he deserves a holiday.
    The 17-year-old pop star was pictured heading to the beach in Hawaii yesterday after jetting to Hawaii with girlfriend Selena Gomez.
    Stripped to the waist, the Canadian star showed off his rock hard stomach in a pair of bathing shorts teamed with flip flops and white sunglasses.
    Selena, meanwhile, was wearing a pink bikini top and Daisy Dukes, and was carrying a leopard print bag as she took a walk with her other half.
    Als on show was a new tattoo on Bieber's toros under his arm, in addition to one he got when was 16 of a bird on his waistline.
    Earlier the young couple were spotted arriving to Maui hand in hand after taking a flight from Los Angeles LAX.

    Justin and Selena, 18, went fully public with their romance at the awards show in Las Vegas - sharing kisses and hugs in the audience.
    The young lovebirds smooched as Bieber picked up his six awards and dominated the star-studded ceremony.
    Gomez appeared to be making a good impression on her boyfriend's family, as she sat with her arm around Bieber's mother, Pattie Mallette.
    She was, however, notably absent from her beau's two acceptance speeches.
    Bieber, who was wearing a gold tuxedo jacket, grinned as he took home six awards during Sunday's ceremony.

    The pint-size pop star shared a slightly awkward hug with Gomez as his name was read out as the winner of digital artist of the year.
    He thanked his family, his fans, manager Scooter Braun and Usher - who signed the youngster to his record label and turned him into a superstar.
    'Basically everyone who helped me get out of my hometown and live my dream,' he said.

    Bieber and Gomez made up for their awkward moment as the former YouTube sensation was named the top new artist of the year.
    Bieber leaned in for a passionate kiss with his girlfriend and she beamed with delight as she watch her man on stage.
    The Canadian pop sensation thanked 'god' as he picked up his second award and paid tribute to his proud mother.

    'Mom - you've been amazing. You've been travelling with me, putting up with all my crap,' he said.
    Bieber also won awards for top pop album, top streaming artist, top song and top social media artist.
    Meanwhile, the first trailer for Bieber's women's fragrance Someday has been revealed.

    The advert, which has been labelled 'ridiculous' by some, sees a young girl spray the fragrance on her neck, at which point Bieber appears next to her before whisking her up into the sky and flying through the air.
    Talking about the fragrance recently, Bieber told WWD: 'Let’s be real, the way a girl smells is very important to a guy!
    'I have such a deep connection with my fans, so creating a fragrance that I personally love is another way I can bring them closer to my world.'

    Sewing
    Sewing

    I accomplished quite a bit this weekend. I made a mini quilt as part of my youngest daughter's birthday present. It was my first attempt at actually quilting something. In the past I have just tied my quilts. Who knows if I did it right, I just went by what I have read online. I think it turned out pretty cute though! I had a return customer, and writer of the blog Stephmodo request some shirts for her cute daughter. So after I made those (which she posted about on her blog), I had a request for one so I made up a whole bunch of them ( 26 to be exact). Aren't they the sweetest? I was going to make different styles than just the birds, then decided to make it easy on myself and just do the birds, anyways every time I make something with a bird on it, it sells.

    This weekend I also did some much needed housework, hours and hours of it. And I still have more to do, I have been neglecting housework lately, I can't do that anymore, it drives me nuts! I have been in the spring cleaning mood I guess because I want to go through everything and get rid of stuff, after I get all my craft shows done I'm having a yard sale/craft show. Getting money for my unwanted stuff is the best!

    On another note, my husband likes to play his music for the kids, and all three of my girls rock out to it, this weekend my 4 year old was singing Dirty deeds done dirt cheap by AC/DC, it was too funny! Oh the innocence!
  • Heritage: Egyptian mummy found at French dump to go on display

    Heritage: Egyptian mummy found at French dump to go on display
    The 2,000-year-old mummified body of a Egyptian child in a casket that was found at a rubbish dump in France is to go on display for the first time after more than a year of careful restoration work partly funded by public donations.

    The story of how the relic was discovered has entered local legend in Reuil-Malmaison after a resident, who has never been identified, turned up at the municipal dump in 2001 and asked where to throw her unwanted goods.

    “She said: ‘Where shall I put this, it’s a mummy?’ We weren’t sure exactly what she was talking about. She just said she was clearing her cellar,” Jean-Louis Parichon, an employee at the dump, recalled shortly afterwards.

    “I immediately saw it was an extraordinary thing and put it to one side. Then when I’d stopped being astonished, I called the town museum.”

    After years of examination, experts declared that the mummy had been brought from Egypt by one of Napoleon’s generals in the mid-1850s.

    The mummy, whose name from the hieroglyphics is Ta-Iset (she of Isis), is believed to date from around 350BC and comes from the Akhmim region in upper Egypt on the east bank of the river Nile.

    Radiographic scans revealed that the mummified body is that of a girl “in her fourth year” measuring 92.5cm. The skeleton is well preserved and whole, the head is bent towards the chest, and the quality of the wraps and cask suggest a child of the Egyptian middle classes.

    Although the linen bandages and coverings decorated with hieroglyphics were badly damaged, a stylised bird feather and inscription revealed the name Ta-Iset.

    “A cut from a knife is visible on the side showing that certain people have already tried to see if [the casket] contained precious metals or amulets,” said Marie-Aude Picaud, director of the history museum at Reuil-Malmaison.

    The town council contributed to the restoration, but a large part of the cost was raised by public donations.

    Ta-Iset will now go on display in a temperature-controlled room at the town’s history museum.

    Sew and tell
    Sewing I'm joining in on Amy's sew and tell this week! I am always sewing something :)
    Here are some of the things I have been working on this week. Above are some Bird Cage Christmas ornaments, I love these, I made some for myself last year. The backs of them are vintage linens, and besides the cream fronts, the fabric for these came out of my scrap bag, which I love, I need to use up those scraps!

    Sewing I have been slowly working on a quilt for my youngest Sage. I had my kids pick out their fabrics from my stash months and months ago for their new quilts. I feel bad it has taken me this long, but what do you do? I especially feel bad because Sage (who is 5) has never had a bed sized quilt of her own. What kind of a Mom am I? :) Stay tuned for the finished quilt though, I love, love all the fabrics each of my girls picked out, they are going to be so cute.

    SewingI also finished a batch of girls purses. That mushroom one is my fave. I am getting ready for all my holiday shows coming up. They start up next weekend!

    Sewing This crafting for myself thing is fun, I wish I would have thought of these when I was making ornaments to sell though, oh well, there is always next year.
    I am getting really excited to get Christmas decorations up, we haven't had time to get a tree yet, I'm hoping tommorow or Wednesday we will.

  • Do mosquitos ever keep you up at night?

    Do mosquitos ever keep you up at night?
    Sewing
    Last night Casey went to bed a bit before I did. When I got in bed, I was laying there and Casey starts scratching all over, swatting the air, and slapping his face. I observed this behavior for a few minutes, then I asked if he was awake and if he was okay. He said that there was a mosquito that was biting him and buzzing in his ear. He got up, put anti-itch cream all over and came back to bed. We lay there for ohhh, a good half hour in which I finally started hearing said mosquito. During this time Casey covered himself entirely in the sheet with his face poking out, kindof amusing. Casey had had enough and jumped out of bed declaring that he was wide awake because of this damn mosquito (yes I just typed damn) All I could do was laugh and tell him that the mosquito found him to be delicious. He ran to find our electric bug swatter pictured above, and started swatting it everywhere a bit violently at 1:13 this morning. I was hysterically laughing, he killed the mosquito and we went to sleep, finally :)

    Sewing
    Yesterday I decided to make a baby quilt, I just have to finish hand sewing the binding down. It was a rather satisfying project that used up a good amount of my stash for one project, I see more of these in the future, next time will be a boy one.

    Sewing
    I'm always telling my husband that I am not going to make anymore fabric purchases, easier said than done, especially when I have mula I made from the farmer's market :)
    Here is a bad picture of some recent fabric purchases, no sun here today, it's seriously been raining so much here, we'll get like a day or two of sun and then it starts raining again, it feels more like a really rainy April then June.

    I'm really loving the bird cage fabric from Laura Gunn
    and I seriously splurged on the Japanese fabric on the right, how could I resist fabric with button cards printed on it? I purchased it here.
    Kay, I just checked to make sure I linked it right and now there is more cute stuff that wasn't there when I made my purchase! Why does that darn japanese fabric have to be so cute?

    I hope you are having a nice day and that the mosquitos won't keep you awake at night :)

    Has anyone seen my Living Room?
    Sewing When I am in sewing mode (which is most of the time) my Living Room disappears. It is the only space I can do my sewing unless I was to use the Kitchen table, but then we would never be able to eat.
    Sewing The corner by my bed becomes a mountain of fabric too.

    Sewing
    But look at the fun bags I made! My favorite is this one with the bird in the tree. Note to self: I must make myself a new purse.
    I am crazily getting ready for Oh sweet Sadie! Art Market and The Traveling Trunk.

    Missing Russell: Katy Perry wore black stockings and a suspender skirt as she arrived in Tokyo on a bullet train earlier today
    She had earlier tweeted how 'sad' she was feeling after her husband Russell Brand was deported from Japan.
    But Katy Perry seemed determined to show him what he was missing as she strolled through Tokyo train station later in the day.
    The 26-year-old singer pulled out all the stops in a black and white checked suspender skirt, black stockings and platform heels.
    ©Crushed: Perry looked distinctively melancholy without Brand, who had been deported by the Japanese authorities due to a criminal record
    And she looked distinctly melancholy, although she gamely signed autographs and chatted to fans.
    Earlier in the day, Brand had been deported by Japanese authorities due to his criminal record.
    He had arrived with Perry to watch her perform a show on the Asian leg of her California Dreams tour.
    Perry wrote on her Twitter account: ‘So... my husband just got deported from Japan. I am so. sad. I brought him all this way to show him my favourite place #tokyodreamscrushed.'
    ©Brace face: Perry managed to raise a smile as she chatted and signed autographs for waiting fans

    Perry then campaigned to her followers to try and get her husband released and said: ‘#FREE@RUSTYROCKETS! RT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
    But she later seemed to accept the situation. 'But of COURSE I ♥ my Japanese fans & the show #MUSTGOON no matter the daily aftershocks or husband kidnappings! #it'snotrightbutit'sokay,' she wrote.
    Brand had earlier tried to see the funny side of his situation as he was held at Tokyo airport.
    ©Fan love: Perry gamely posed for pictures with fans in Japan, which she says is her 'favourite place'
    He tweeted: ‘Planning escape from Japanese custody. It's bloody hard to dig a tunnel with a chopstick.’
    The actor then posted a picture of himself with a chopstick and the caption: ‘Alcatraz! Shawshank Redemption! And now this! Ah, sweet blue bird of freedom!’
    Russell, a self-confessed former heroin addict, was arrested in 2001 charged with criminal damage and indecent exposure when he stripped naked while covering the May Day protests for MTV, the charges were later dropped.
    The comedian, who has been arrested 12 times, was arrested on suspected battery charges after he allegedly attacked a photographer who was taking pictures of Perry last year, he was released after posting $20,000 bail.

    Wild Duck by WOW Barbie


    At now, the farmers have a lot of interest to breeding of a ducks and chickens. From one duck in the spring and summer can get up to 100 eggs and grow them out to 50 or more ducks with the final live weight about 2 kg. With proper selection of a ducks for sale it's will be very profitable business, especially if in the presence have a small pond near the backyard or garden.

    Some poultry farmers have the unflattering opinions about ducks: because this bird seems to be too gluttonous, but this is false. Ducks eat a lot of because fast grow. In the two months are ready for slaughter. If you have the pond with duckweed and other aquatic vegetation, the total cost of the breeding ducks will exactly cheapest business. Anyway, a chickens for sale, a chicken eggs is a fundamental element of the farmers profit. If the ranch located in a warm place, then you can fatten ducks throughout the year in small batches, to always have fresh meat to the table.

    Before you buy ducks in online should consult with experienced breeders about the seller. Another product, which gives a duck — feather and down. From them make soft fluffy pillows, light and warm quilts, quilted clothing. Also, started making original hats for women, it's very fashionable.

  • I know it's Halloween tommorrow!

    I know it's Halloween tommorrow!
    Sewing Yes, I know it's Halloween tomorrow, but these ornaments are one of the projects I have been working on.

    Sewing I had to share them because I think they are so stinking cute. They are super simple to make too, I just sandwiched two layers of felt in between fabric, sewed it all together with the hang string sandwiched in the middle and the bird I first fused it on then I hand stitched around it. Ta-da your finished!

    SewingI also had to share what the lace thrifting fairies guided me to. I love all of it. I had the idea when I was looking through all of it to make a lace skirt. I think I would just start by making a white skirt and then covering the entire thing with all different lace, I think it would be so pretty.
    If I don't post tomorrow, Happy Halloween!

    thrifting, fabric, and a new bag
    Sewing I continue to go thrifting on Mondays and I keep finding awesome things. Yesterday it was a never been used vintage towel and the cutest tablecloth. I got all excited when I saw the tablecloth, I love the big flowers and the colors.

    SewingHere are some recent fabric purchases. I snatched up some of Anna Maria Horner's innocent crush, I love, love, love the star burst print. Those bird cages are from JoAnn's.
    I have been having a crush on gingham lately and found the grey and tangerine colors and had to have it.

    SewingI was near IKEA yesterday and had a bit of extra time so I went in to check out the fabrics and found this wood grain fabric, and some cute placemats to repurpose.


    Sewing
    I was excited and made up a couple bags like this with the placemats last night.
    They are kinda funky and I love it. The back of the bag is the same stripe as the handle. I originally was going to leave it kinda plain, and then decided it needed a little embellishment, so I made a flower pin to put on it.
    Now, I am off to cut out new bags as I have aquired a new pile of upholstery fabrics (for free I might add!) And I am so happy to have my sewing mojo back!
