just a little peek...you may be getting one this year for Christmas :)

Quick!

Just a quick post so my sister doesn't get testy...she's mentioned a time or two that it's annoying to come by and not have something new to read :)

• I was hoping to be able to show you the skirt I've been working my tail off on but alas, I ran out of tulle :( I've placed an order so I'll hopefully have it finished by Friday!
• Made this cute little guy for the shop but looks like it won't go in there until tomorrow morning.
• Working tonight.
• Need a shower.
• Raining.
• I've got sprouts in the Fairy meadow...sprouts people! I'm not a seed failure after all!!
• 10 days left of school or 9 since two of those days are only 1/2 days.
• Just booked Ruby's birthday party at the Works (pool).
• I can't believe we stopped watching last seasons Weeds...playing catch up last night...such a great show!
  
• I'm supposed to take a food test at work. The word 'test' IS a four letter word...kwim??? Stommmmacheee achhhe.
• Time to print the tide chart.
• Time to print Butternut Farms fruit schedule.
• mmmmmm, Summer.

Good things...

Ahhhhh...my dining room is starting to look less like a sweat shop and more like my office (we only 'dine' in there about twice a year so 'my office' it is!).
I cleaned out the hutch and put the wine glasses and platters on the bottom.
Put all my fun, vintage martini shakers in the kitchen...I'll snap a pic for ya'll to see later :)
Went through the daunting task of folding all my fabrics and neatly placing them in piles.
I'm hoping this first Spring cleaning/organization keeps the ball rolling...I MUST stay inspired!!!

I've been avoiding Old Navy like the plague since their new ad campaign first made it's debut.
I find it ugly and a total turn off.
However, I went in there today to grab a few things for the girls and saw these birdie sweaters and HAD to have both of them for myself...TOO CUTE!

I've been playing with this little Earth Day design in my head for a few days and finally had a little time to get it done today. I made one for both Zoe and Ruby. I'll be listing them in the shop in a bit. I know it's a little late to be listing something for Earth Day but we need to love our Mama every day not just one day out of the year!!!! Cute ehh?

Please tell me...

This is no indication of what the rest of my day will be like!

I had to drain the washing machine...omg. Gallons upon gallons of water came pouring out along with S.A.W.D.U.S.T.!!!! Thank you honey! Luckily I had a wet vac near by.

*
Stella spilled a full cup of gluey water I had prepared for her to do a collage with...all over the floor.

*
Zoe ran in from outside to grab a tissue with MUDDY BOOTS!

Luckily the mail lady came just in time with these to cheer me up!

I could just eat this fabric...my new fave!

and this...my favorite 'heart' girls....I'm just loving them Jody!

I'm working tonight and it's going to be CrAzY!!!
Can't wait...love it!
Have a good night yourselves!

Let's see...

I've got loads to do today.
I'm still getting caught up from all the (ewwwwwww) laundry I've had to do due to all the yakking going on around here.
The Cora orders keep piling in...so great!
I've set a little $ donation goal and I think I'm going to reach it!!!
Thanks to all you lovely customers out there...LOVE YOU!
I'm making chicken cutlets for dinner...Craig's FAVE...poor guy's been getting a little neglected lately...thought his most coveted meal might help a little :)
I've got pillows on my mind so I'm hoping to get at least ONE made today to go on my bed.
I've got a million ideas for goods for the shop...after Friday I should be all caught up with all current orders so do stay tuned!
I have an interview on Saturday for a bartending position by the owners of my most favorite restaurant and pre-baby employers!
We're SO making cupcakes today...Ruby and Stella will decorate.
The social butterfly aka Zoe has a play date.
LoOk what I got in the mail today!

I won these from a giveaway from this cute blog...I'm blown away by their shop!

And...you KNOW how much fabric makes me happy...so, SO happy!

****
Have a great day!

Lady love playing in the sink :)

A bit of sweetness from this awesome etsy shop.
The wrapping. So beautifully done and with care.


How darling is that? I just love it!


Holy scraps!
This is what I have to sift through every time I make anything...It's a total nightmare. It's in one of those HUGE storage containers. The sad or good thing about this craziness is that it's only a fraction of my fabric...huhhh, did someone say fabric? Love.


An embarrassing continuance to my mess.
Hey! I'm a messy crafter what can I say?


Another version of Fig for an order.

Barley.

*****

My house is filled to the rim with all the estrogen I can take so I'm keeping it brief. Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow after I finish up an order. I've got a serious to-do list in the works and if I share it maybe I'll feel obligated to stick with it...ya know?

Inspiration...

comes in small packages :)

All this came in the mail today...so fun!

Can't wait to play.

We're off to Bean-Town for the night for a night of fun with friends! I think a little time away from the kiddos will do me and them some good.

Have a good weekend!

So...

Can YOU guess which card is mine?

Leave your comment here and if you pick the right one, you can have your choice of any one thing in my shop!

I'm sort of laughing because I DO think mine stands out (and not in a good way :).

I think from now on I'll stick to my pure love of fabric!!!

We're putting a new roof and trim on our house...Craig spent all day on Thanksgiving working on it...the girls wanted to go up and visit and enjoy the view. Stella is just being plain old cute per usual...the paci has GOT to go (and will soon enough)! The pinafore is from this shop on etsy...she's got the best stuff!

Gobble, Gobble, Thanks!

I am thankful for so much, everyday.
I don't need a special day to recognize how lucky a girl I really am.
I'm reminded every night when my exhausted husband comes home with a twinkle in his eye and tells me how beautiful I am and how much he loves me.
I'm reminded every time I overhear Zoe talking to her friends saying 'well, my Mom told me to always believe in myself and magic will happen'...she really listens!
I'm reminded with each hug, cuddle and kiss I give and get from my little ladies.
I love my family and my family loves me.
I have great friends.
I love my dog...she's loyal and keeps us safe when Craig isn't home. Dog slobber and all.
We have a lovely home with a lot of blood, sweat and tears put into it...which makes it even more lovely.
Did I mention we have great families? They are the best!
I'm grateful for having discovered my creative niche and going for it.
Etsy, I love you.
I love my little town I live in.
I love our military who keeps us safe.
I love the USA.
Coffee is my friend.
Chocolate too.
I'm grateful for you!
