Cora is in heaven.
I can't even begin to understand why.
Pray for her parents Joel and Jess.
This is just so sad.

Pinch me...

Made this for a custom order...cute!




A girlfriend of mine emails me last night saying her friend in L.A. who happens to be the assistant to a film Director (will remain unnamed) asked her to find a baby gift for a friends daughter. Sweet Cherryl thought of me and sent her to my shop!

I love it when...

a fellow Etsian convo's me asking if I'd be willing to do a trade.
I don't know why but to me it's the ultimate compliment!
I was more than willing with this fun shop!
What's even more exciting is when you've forgotten to expect a package in the mail...wooo hooo!
I could tell from the box I was going to love what was inside!





I just love these 'owl folks' :)
She also included a flip book and coloring book which Ruby snatched up the moment she saw them...so fun!
****
Off to get some orders done and hopefully something new!
Have a good one!

Little Miss S is the only one I've been able to catch on camera lately.
Don't want anyone to think I'm playing favorites or anything!!! She was hamming it up last night for me without that darn 'thing' in her mouth...yes, even I'm sick of seeing her run around with her pacifier all the time.
I've started the 'gooky' fairy talk...prepping her for what's to come.
I'm still planning on waiting until she's 3 but it dawned on me that that will be in 4 months!!!
WHOA!





A little newness in the shop!
I've actually sewn the tulle on to the waistband...I love the way it came out...too cute!




A little something inspired by Scrabble :)
****
On another, sad note.
Please pray for this baby.
I can't get her out of my mind.
Everything that seemed like such a huge deal in my life is nothing in comparison to what Cora and her family are dealing with. Nothing.
