We're SO ready...

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.
Miss Stella (of course) wouldn't leave the house without her 'dress-ups'...such a fancy girl.
Ruby needed to bring Doggy all dolled up in I love plum seconds :)

On our walk we took turns telling each other what we couldn't wait for with the upcoming warm weather.

• Flowers
• Crocs
• Open windows
• Swings
• Zip line
• Chalk
• Kettler Cars
• Farmer's market
• Outdoor recess without snow pants
• BBQ and grill
• Grass
• Riding bikes
• Seeing Fairies aka Butterflies and Dragonflies
• Light until after 7pm
• Fun fruit
• The beach
• Fried clams
• Wearing skirts everyday

I can't remember all the other ones but there were more!!!
Have a great weekend everyone...I love you all!

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!

Just for fun...

It's beautiful out
the snow melting
the birds singing
ready for Spring

I worked all weekend but was able to enjoy a little family time in the morning before heading out the door.
The weather was gorgeous so we went for walks both days...the girls running free and loving every minute of this warm winter treat.
***
I received some treats in the mail one a giveaway I won and another a little something I couldn't resist...both happen to be from Jody over at Smilin' Moon Studio. I really didn't want to open her beautifully wrapped gifts but finally gave in. WOW! love her stuff...just love it!
***
Stella is my dancing queen and now looks for me to turn on the video recorder...so here she is. She prefers dancing in the kitchen...don't ask me why!!!
***
I've neglected my other blog so hopefully I'll get a post in there this week!!!

Just a quick hello and a 'me' update...I know you were just dying to know ;)
I'll be working tonight, tomorrow and Sunday...I already feel tired just thinking about it so have come to the conclusion it's best not to allow myself to even go there.
I need to take the advice I so often give to Miss Zoe...the anticipation of what's to come is often far worse than the actual event itself.
I actually enjoy working so I don't know what I'm complaining about...just a little tired, that's all.

Monday I'll be sitting in the Dentists chair getting a root canal :(
*
I've made a mental note that I've got to change my little etsy message about how fast I'll be getting orders done. I think I'm going to have to start allowing myself about a three-four days to get orders done...I'm finding I'm falling behind and don't want to let anyone down!
*
I found out yesterday the Cora Playground fundraiser was a HUGE success...almost $16,000 raised at last count (there were still more shops yet to report!). It always feels good doing something bigger than yourself...ya know what I mean?
*
Although we're still buried in snow I sense Spring is just around the corner!
*
OK. Off to get ready for my night...With the warmer weather I just know it's going to be a big martini night!!!

she's going to kill me...

Miss ya girl...can't wait for our trip to T-Ride :)

pooped...

Today I'm so tired!
Waaaaahhh, I know.
I got home late last night and woke up very early to get the girls ready for school. I had time to sleep at least 45 minutes more but I was sooo afraid if I fell back to sleep I'd never get up in time.
I hate feeling like this and hope I'll catch my second wind here soon!
I'm behind on everything.
Orders.
American Idol.
The Octo-Mom.
You know, all the important things :)
I'm thinking a good dose of B-12 might help.
Peace out.

Something new!

I couldn't sleep last night thinking about making these cuties!
With so many people I know having babies I wanted to come up with something new and super cute!
What better way to announce your babies stats than on a fortune?
I've come up with a list of good fortunes and will use the babies birth date, weight and length as his/her lucky numbers.
Obviously both fortunes and lucky numbers are fully customizable.
I think this would make not only a cute little outfit but a great prop for a photograph which then would translate well into a birth announcement!!!
I sure do wish I was more crafty back when I had my babies...ho hum.
Want one?
Visit my shop!!!

here I am!

Sorry I've been MIA for the past couple of days.
Getting used to this new schedule is going to take a little time I think.
I had a great weekend back at work and so happy I took the gig.
Today I've been up to my eyeballs in fabric, thread and ONE HUGE crafty mess!
I've been a bit behind but am now happy to say all caught up!
Mind you these are all for custom orders and nothing new yet in the shop but progress!!
Hope you have a happy day!
