OMG!!!
Leave it to Rue...a girl who has to wear skirts every day!

XO




I've been busy...





Things always happen in spurts in my shop.
I busted these custom tees out earlier for a fabulous customer...LOVE her!
Actually, I really LOVE all my customers...muah!
I've got four more orders to fill and I'll be all caught up.
This working at night thing seems to really slow me down during the day.
I still haven't found that balance yet but I will!
I'm happy to make things and that includes drinks so I'm in a good spot.
Off to get Miss Zoe at school.
She's in a play for the next three nights...She's in the candy chorus in Willy Wonka :)
Gotta fly!
Bye!

Now THIS is....

how the true cupcake conoisseur should consume their treat...as demonstrated by Miss Stella.
First, squeeze your tush onto a moderately comfortable bench.

Then begin by licking the sprinkles aka minkles off the delicious frosting.

Little by little start to suck some of the frosting into your mouth as if sucking on a straw.

Next be sure to get a full, front to back lick of said frosting...pink is preferential in this case.

Lastly, you don't need to show evidence of crumbs, frosting or such...that's purely optional.
Now, what you do with the cake part of the cup/cake is again your choice. Stella prefers to toss the cake without even giving it a nibble...she's a frosting kind a gal. Me, I'd eat the whole thing and go back for seconds, thirds and fourths :)

Hang in there!

My eyes are fried and my patience is gone.
I'm trying to find a solid colored background for my blog and can't figure it out or find one.
I'll work on it tomorrow if given the chance...I can't believe how much of my day was wasted on this...arghhh. I hate when things aren't the way I want them!
XO
ps. If any of you know of a good site...let me know!

Don't cha...

Just love 'doing' school projects?
Here's Zoe's finished family tree.
Came out cute, right?

I've been playing around with my blog here and there today.
I can't decide what I like and what I don't.
If you have any feedback...I'd love it!...good or bad!

We're on our way outdoors!
Bye!

Poor Molly...
She's got that look on her face like 'why do you gotta put the bunny ears on me mom?' I just had to, dear.

Hi shadow...how ya doin?

A new cutie for the shop.

I made this for a friend's baby...didn't really know what I was doing but I like the way it came out :)

For Spring.
We were just itching to get out of the house and soak up some of that sun today.
It wasn't warm by a long shot so we bundled up good.

Ruby needed to bring Doggy all dolled up in I love plum seconds :)

Totally random...





I got a 'convo' yesterday from someone at Pregnancy & Newborn magazine saying they'd be interested in considering my stuff for their Haute Tots page in their July issue! Wow! I'm thrilled they even asked...how cool is that? I guess they're rounding up trains, planes and automobiles and some of my designs fit the bill :)
These are the samples I'll be sending out...they'll also be listed in the shop a bit later.
***

I was so excited when I found this fabric...I can't wait to play with it!!!
Isn't it just darling?

A little craziness last night before bed.
Daddy was doing some up-side-downs:)
***
Off to get Zoe at school.
I'm hoping to finish up on some orders and start some new goodies for the shop!! Stay tuned!
