Hello Stranger

It's been a while since my last post (3 months to be exact!). But you will be happy to know that I've been very busy sewing, painting, & creating. Here are just a few things I've been working on...Up-cycled, Felted Wool Sweater Bags
Satin Flower Pins
Pillowcase dresses
And Lots of New Jewelry!

... and that's not all! I have so many projects that I'm working on that I have to keep a detailed notebook so I don't forget anything!
I am very thankful to my friends and family for supporting me with this new adventure in my life! I am truly blessed!

Cute, Fuzzy, Baby Tag Toys



I LOVE THESE!!!!

I made these cute little sunshine tag toys for a baby shower gift! They are so cute and cuddly I think I'll make one for every baby I know! I've seen toys similar to these at stores and on other sites so I had to try to make one myself!

It's just takes some fuzzy fleece fabric, colorful ribbon, fiber fill,

and some jingle bells (hidden on the inside)!

They were super easy and fun to make!

Makes me want another baby!!!!! (Maybe NOT!)

Tis the Season........






.... for birthday parties! We have two parties this weekend and, after looking at the Birthday Bulletin Board in Mary Grace's preschool class, we're going to have them almost every weekend til the end of the school year! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! Presents for all these kids!!!


I have to think fast! What I need is a Super Hero!


OK - Maybe I'll just whip up some Super Hero Capes for Mary Grace's friends.



They won't make you run any faster, jump any higher, scale tall buildings, or save the universe - but don't tell the kids that!!!!



They are, however, shiny, sparkly, and the most important thing - washable! I think the birthday kids will love them. Who doesn't want to be a Super Hero?

It's Not As Easy As It Looks!




Working a part-time job, starting a new business, and being a full-time stay-at-home mom is a lot harder than it looks!!!!
And I have the pictures to prove it.
I was TRYING to take some photos of the dresses I made for Etsy. The girls had other plans!!! Who said girls don't rough house? My 20 month old thinks this is the only way to play with her older sister!

I know, it's not so bad.
I AM BLESSED to have such beautiful, smart, happy, and loving children!
And I LOVE THEM!!!
