My Loud Crazy Crafty Life

I am a 30ish old Mommy to three girls all under 5, I spend my days running to preschool and kindergarten naps, diaper changes, baby food. Countless hours of Barney and Disney channel and in between I craft! If I get a bit of time to myself I create the things in my shop....it helps keep me sane.

I just love little surprises

The lovely gal behind this blog sent me message letting me know she had featured my shoes in her post yesterday. So I went and checked it out. Her blog is A D O R A B L E, and the Emma theme...... How cute is that?? Give her some love and go take a look, you'll like all the cuteness you see.

What's New?

So for the past two days my laptop does not like google and this also means it doesn't like blogger....blah! I have no idea why I can't get to these sites? I can get to every other site including etsy (thank goodness)

But luckily, hubby's laptop is perfectly fine and I can sneak over and use it to update my blog (like right now) so I thought I would update you all on what I've been up to.

Here are a few pictures of the newest listings to Curly Birdie

Choices, choices and more choices.



This listing is for those that like to have choices, I thought it would be fun if YOU got to select what color crochet Mary Janes you would like.........and Tah Dah!!!!


JULIA JULIA
My other listing is a yellow (love yellow) crochet baby shoe, I called them Julia. I have a friend named Julia and she is such a beautiful person. These shoes remind me of her :)

And finally, my precious Mia

Mia is my youngest joy. She is the baby, 9 months old and the sweetest!! She has a smile on her face from the moment she wakes up, till I put her down to sleep.

She is just so joyful to be around, she makes me smile.

On this day I dressed her in aqua and of course she had to have the matching shoes. Although the aqua and brown made a couple of people think she was a boy that day as we were out and about running errands (Grrr)


Of course I don't see it, but I guess the colors and lack of long hair would suffice. She makes my trio complete. My three girls, all with their own personalities and unique in their own ways. I really couldn't ask for anything more. They cause me inmense joy and drive me crazy all the same :)

My Havana Banana


My middle child is about to turn 3 at the end of this month......"sigh". She is completely filled with energy (seriously). I was thinking the terrible two's were the challenge but with my girls it seems to be the three's. Apparently that is the age when they think they rule the house and "No, I don't want to!" becomes their favorite phrase. Havana is currently using this phrase in full force.

She is in preschool in the mornings 4 days a week. Because she is a January baby she will be in preschool for 3 years! But she does seem to like it, and it's a bit of a Mommy break.

We started calling her Havana Banana for no particular reason, just because it rhymes. And then it stuck. My husband asked me to stop because more and more people starting calling her Banana and not Havana and so we've phased it out a bit.


Here are some pictures of her modeling for me. Let me tell you, that was one work out for me. I must have took oh.... 40 shots,  just in hope of 3 good ones. I couldn't get her to look at the camera, she was busy building with rocks and cooking her plastic chicken in the kitchen. What a work out, I suppose this is also my bodies way of telling me I need to get back into the gym:)

It's time you meet my girls........



I guess the time has come that I present my lovely girls, so one by one (there are three) I'll be showing some random pictures and sharing some cute stories of our everyday.

This is......... ISABELLA

She is my oldest. 5 years old. I took this picture after I picked her up from kindergarten today. She is always so excited with lots and lots to say when I pick her up. She will talk the whole ride home about recess and what the letter of the week was. This week it was the letter "P".
Then she always asks what we did at home. I guess she figures we had some adventure while she was at school.
