Hiya!
Here's a sweet little craft you can make for the holidays! I'm showing the folks over at Go Greeno on how to make these greeting spools, so hop on over and get the scoop!
Stella is officially one.
Well to be honest, she was "officially" one the 7th of November and yes, I'm just now posting. BUT, her party was on the 19th, so technically I'm not too late to share.
Got the deer idea from Apartment Therapy. I so LOVE these. They're stayin' up for Christmas... hmmm.... well actually indefinitely.
Made the garland and had it strung all over the place.
The animal jars are from Ohdeedoh, the mushrooms are from Martha Stewart, and the lovely owl is from my work.
Notice her dress? Yup... another Charlie tunic. What can I say? I LOVE this pattern!
It was a wonderful celebration with family and closest friends. I apologize for the lack of photos and the quality isn't much to boast about as well (this is what happens when the photographer wasn't doing her job). And thank you all you crafty blogs out there and Pinterest for the cool ideas. The party was a hit!
Oh my sweet Stella... how my heart aches as each passing day, you grow older. I wish I could make time stand still and just be in the moment a little while longer with you.
Happy 1st Birthday, Lala-Bear.
Hey there!
Sorry for the lack of posts. When there's nothing going on here, it's usually because I'm workin' up a storm. No sittin' on my duff eatin' bon-bons, that's for sure!
Hey... I'm having a sale in my shop, but you have to go visit Go Greeno (AKA, Sugar Mama) for the details. You may want to see, cause it's RARE for me to have such an awesome sale. So check it out over HERE and hop on over to my wee little shop for some goodies!
I'm off to do more celebrating... it's Lily Moon's 11th birthday today.
Happy Friday!!!
I beleive you have seen this
It's Meg's patternn The Schoolhouse Tunic. Another of my favorite patterns. So far I've made 2... no wait... scratch that... I've made 3.
Yes 3.
Here's my latest...
Do you notice anything different?
Yes, yes... the sleeves! I combined the sleeves from Sylish Dress book, dress F with the tunic. Oh, I love it so!
It's made of voile. Lovely fabric...
Oh, and I added some ties to the waist to give a more custom fit and shape.
So with gray tights and boots, I'm ready to walk the runway!
***tee-hee***
Or at least back inside my house.
And the lucky cat is...

Thanks everyone who participated. That was fun. The next giveaway is gonna be a BIG one, so check back!
This past weekend was a busy one. Spent all day Saturday running errands and preparing for Stella's birthday... nothing noteworthy.
But Sunday was much different. It was a day to reflect, raise awareness and support all of those who battled and are still battling with breast cancer. There is a total of 4 beautiful and courageous women in my life that has been afflicted. One is in remission, one is currently in treatment and two have fought it to the end.
I'm a pretty private person, I don't let many people in and I tend to internalize a lot of things. I kind of see myself as a turtle. I'll just crawl into my shell and pray that everything will be alright. What I have come to realize, is that sometimes I need to do more than just pray.
Now I didn't do the walk (it was already too late to register), but we (my family, cousins, nieces and nephew)came out to support my sister and aunt who did register. It was powerful to see thousands of people walking, cheering and showing their strength in numbers.
That was an awesome day.

Bibs?
Why yes... yes it is!
