Fasten off; secure ends.

Red Foo wig??

I was recently approached by a customer wanting to know if I could make him a "Red Foo" wig. Red Foo is apparently a member of new "HOT" band LMFAO. Here he is.....


Well, being the type of person I am. I agreed to give it a try. Here is what I came up with. What do you think??

Got my Eye on you hat.

I was honored with the privelege of testing this super sweet and cute "eyeball" beanie. These are chemo beanies and are going to be donated. I will post the link to the website so you can make one and donate one as well.

Well, this is my first post on a blog so please bear with me.

My name is Delana, aka DD. I have 3 beautiful sons, Austin, 13, Tyler, 11, and Fisher, 7, and 1 loving husband, Brian. I have been married to Brian for 16 years (17 in Nov.). I love being a wife and mother. I have 2 nephews from my brother, you will probably hear me mention them a LOT! I also have 3 nephews and 2 neices from Brian's family.

My family is my top priority. I'd love to say I was a "stay at home mom" but I rarely get to stay home much. I am always going somewhere! LOL  My boys are very sports oriented and we do a lot of family things together.

I have an Etsy shop please be sure to come by and see what all I have to offer. You never know what you will find.

I love to create things. All types of things. I am always into something. So, as a result this blog was born. I hope you enjoy it as much as I will.

                                                                                            My boys
                                                       Me and my family
