I miss this

I have been thinking a lot about how I need to get busy on the kid's scrapbooks. Poor Jonathan only has a few pages. I thought I would share a little one that I did for Carmen a couple of years ago.

I usually work in 12x12 format, but I made one of these little books for all of the kids, except little Jonathan:(Today I am working on some sympathy cards for my mom's store. And then I think I need a little break from all the crafts for a couple days. We will see how long I can stand not being creative.

I will post later about the new item in the shop.

Have a good day!

So lucky

I feel so lucky with all the attention my shop is getting lately from the review Michelle did. I have had a few other people mention me on their blogs because of it. I just found this one this morning:)http://http://macmomof3.blogspot.com/

I have been sewing, sewing, sewing all week. I needed to get some more stuff up in the shop for my online craft show on the 19th. I am also doing a craft show in July and would like to have a wide variety of items to bring. So I thought I would share the latest that has been put in my shop in the last 24 hours.

I finished another doll late last night, so I will hopefully be getting her in the shop today, if my computer cooperates with me. I also have a very exciting request from a magazine. I will let you know more about that later;)

Have a great Thursday!

Lollypops and Lizards gave me a shout out about my giveaway! Thanks to everyone to showing the love:)http://nmgills.blogspot.com/2009/06/homemaker-hobbies-giveaway-flying.html

Never would have

I never would have made a black owl if I wasn't asked. I had a custom order for a black owl last week. I was so surprised how much I liked it when I was finished.I had some of the black velveteen left, so I made these little hoots.

Meet Raz and Chaz:) They are in the shop now!

Have a happy Wednesday!!!:)

I was featured!

I was asked a couple of weeks ago by Michelle if she could do a review of my products! I have never done this before so I had a lot of questions. She was very kind and answered every silly one. She just put up the review! She did an awesome job and I owe her many thanks!!! You can see the review here!http://flyinggigglesandlollipops.blogspot.com/2009/06/homemaker-hobbies-little-piece-of-me.html#comment-form#comment-form

Tell me what you think! You can leave a comment on her blog as well!!

Here is another owl that was put in the shop today!!

Have a great rest of the day!

Inspiration

I find inspiration everywhere! Yesterday I was inspired to make this.

I found this bloghttp://tearosehome.blogspot.com/. I love it!!! I found it through another blog that she was featured on. She had made this quilt that was so cute and I beleive this is the back of it.

You can see the front of it on her blog. I just love the look of it. Right away I thought of the truck riding across the fabric blocks. I designed the little truck myself, kind of funny since most of stuff is girly. I started with this owl first, to get in the groove with the colors.
Have a great day everyone!!!!

Super busy!!

The shop has been doing really good these last couple of weeks. I had a few custom orders to make, which I will share with you after I know they have received them. I wanted to put some new things in the shop, so I have been working on that. This summer vacation is just kicking my butt though. I thought it would be easier with the kids home so the older ones could help, not true. Preston wantes to be outside all day and he now knows how to ride his bike without training wheels. He is this little 4 year old on this little bike, pooping wheelies and fallinf off and skidding accross his stomach on the cement. He has no fear. My heart just stops everytime he gets on there. I think I may need to calm down but having a boy is so much scarier then a girl. He never sits still. Anyways......I did manage to make 3 new owls that are now in the shop.

For more pics come look at them in the shop.

I have so many new things I want to make and create.................................I just need some time. More to come, stay tuned:)

Have a great Saturday everyone!
