This is it......

I am closing up shop...I'm done...no more website as of December 31, 2012!  I am now in the process of getting rid of my inventory SO if you want to head over and check out what I still have that'd be great!  I am trying to make sure all items show how many I have in stock (so if you see something that doesn't say "1 in stock" or something like that you should probably email me to make sure I have it).  I am thinking of doing an across the board SALE on everything...probably be in place after Thanksgiving. 
PLEASE go check out what's left and get some of your CHRISTMAS shopping out of the way!!!
Much love...

Stuff I Would LOVE to Sell

WOW! I haven't posted anything here in a REALLY long time! It has been a crazy, my-kid-started-kindergarten kind of year! PLEASE be invested in your kids. They bring such JOY!!! Praying for wisdom every day!! Ask for it, ladies; God will bring it!


I have SEVERAL (well, one of each style or so) mouse pads. This is one I did for myself! Please check the website if you are even REMOTELY interested. They make great gifts, don't ya think?


Come on now, isn't this cute!? I have one bib and burp in this pattern and one bib and burp in a ladybug pattern. If I had a baby I would keep them for myself. They are very soft and good quality. Check the SALE page of the website. Anybody catch that? SALE!!!

I have one of these adorable little backpacks. It is not listed on the website (I have no idea why), but would love to send it to a loving home. It is a preschool backpack. (The one I have doesn't have a name on it yet in case you were wondering.) It is made by Mint. The website has other coordinating items listed also. Please leave a comment or email me if you are interested.

No idea why this pic is turned sideways. Anyone else have that problem? All pics come in fine but one. Hmm...probably user error. BUT you can see it is "cute as punch," as my BFF Julie says. I thought ladybugs would be a good seller. I like them. They eat bugs off of your flowers. Who wouldn't want to wipe their little angels drool with that thought in mind?

I have got to go to bed. I think I am delirious and it's only 9:00! Today was day 1 of no caffiene, so I'm CrAnKy!! Love to all who read this!

I need y'alls opinion

I currently carry the 16oz stainless steel mugs that you can see on my website. They have a lid that can be used with hot or cold items; looks like a typical coffee mug lid. They now have these water bottle lids that screw on tight and won't spill. So basically I am wondering if I should get the water bottle lids (pictured below, and the mugs only come in the taller size now) to go with the hot beverage lids. Would you like the option of having 2 different lids for whatever you are drinking? Please leave me a comment and let me know!

Anyone know any good stress management?

Has anyone ever had those weeks where you are just crazy busy with work, and you can't seem to catch up only to have more work keep coming in every day, and your friends call and say, "I know it's last minute, but...," and you aren't good at saying no, and you have a 5 year old who wants you to play with him every second of the day, and you have to grocery shop and cook for your family and clean the house, and find time to blog, and find time to exercise (what's that?), and somewhere in there get some sleep, and.......................

My New Favorite Thing!

My best friends daughter is about to start third grade and she asked if I could make her a rhinestone shirt. I of course said, "Sure!" I think I may be, after a YEAR of trying to learn this new software (which the guy said was a "piece of cake") getting the hang of it. So yesterday she came over and HERE IT IS!! I just think it is SOOOO cute! Can you tell my excitement?!? I can make one for any grade level if you want one too! Or I can say that anything rocks (if you want something else to rock; like ballet, school, softball, WHATEVER).
love it!

Cute Tooshies

I have been meaning to post this pic my friend Andrea sent since February! Now that is just sad, isn't it? I made these bloomers for the cute little tooshies you see here. It is rare that I actually get to see what I have made being put to use, so I LOVE this! Thanks so much Andrea for sharing!

My Sweet Grandma

This was in 2005.

Her 96th birthday party! (my mom beside her)

My grandmother was an awesome lady, and probably the reason I know how to sew. She was an amazing seamstress who I am pretty sure could make anything! Growing up she made all kinds of stuff for me including quilts, curtains, pillows, dust ruffles, not to mention all the clothes she made for my dolls when I was young. She did cross stitch, crochet, and even some embroidery by hand (before the big machines they have now). Pretty much any kind of sewing you can think of. She is now my inspiration to keep on going in this embroidery business. In her last few years her memory had failed her and she couldn't remember that I had started sewing, but when I would take her some pieces to show her she was so proud. She was a hard worker who loved to serve others until the day she went to be with Jesus. She passed away June 4, 2010 and I will miss her every day for the rest of my life.
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4
PRAISE GOD! praise God!
