Summer is almost here...

The days are getting warmer, longer, and harder to send the babes off to school.  The countdown has begun!!  We see that glorious light at the end of the school tunnel.  Oh how my family loves summer.  And oh how I love my family :)


Sooo...  So long school!  So long alarm clocks and carpool!  So long sewing/crafting!  There will only be time for chasing children and cleaning all their messes.  Well paid job?  NO.  Appreciated job?  NO.  Best job in the world?  TOTALLY!!!  


I do have a couple of photos I snapped ever so quickly before zipping off.  They all make me smile!  Wish I were better at taking pics, but usually I finish the work and then race out the door to deliver it.  One day I'll be organized (ha! ha!).  Fun fact: a sweet gentleman in my life calls me "Piddles".  You get the picture :). So here's what I have to offer... 

It's she adorable?? Totally in love! I have decided that the combination of pink and aqua is THE color combination of the season. Along with a zillion others I'm sure.  Next up, pink/aqua tote for yours truly! 

Here's a yummy baby gift. Triple trouble survival kit is what you call that! Zip out the door with these supplies and you're set for a little shopping trip. I vote Anthropologie. Goodness, gives me goosies just thinking about it :) 

Now back to girl!  Baby shower gift.  Her sweet onesie is in a cupcake box & the tutu around the outside.  Just lovely.

Now this is just for fun. Look at my new table decor! Stinkin' cute baby frogs! Just squeal... Didn't that feel good?!


Here's to warm days, loud children, and chaos.  Life is good!

Twirly Skirts

Here are a couple of pictures of my work this week. Twirly skirts with coodinating tops. Totally edible, I could just eat them up! A sweet lady asked me to make them because her bitty cutie pie needs new church clothes. Do you hear my little "yippee!!"? I myself am a huge fan of church. So, bitty one will be blessed dearly and look so stinkin' cute at the same time. It just makes me smile!

Now the second outfit. So miffed at myself for forgetting to put the matching headband in the photo, but too late now. It's totally cute though. There's a third outfit but I ran out of time to take pics. Maybe tomorrow... Well, maybe not - I'll be at church. Smile.

That's the end of my little story for now. Off to my happily ever after. I can hear all the babes upstairs screaming, laughing, and playing some wild game with their dad. Dying to join them :)

Glorious Girls

Happy Saturday morning to you! All the babes and hubby happily in bed sleeping. Enjoying the quiet morning. A little coffee, fruit, and Adele. If only a fire were burning...

So, a super wonderful family I know is about to pop with pinky #2. It's just too exciting! Mommy and big sister are beautiful, so this little bundle has no choice but to follow suit. AND, they're oh so girly (Do you see me beaming from ear to ear?? I could just break out with a little chearleading spirit!!). Here's their sister shirts.

Yes, headbands. It's like the bow on a package. These are gifts from God you know! The design I put on them was actually a Sew Poshy creation - how fancy is that! I have grand software to design amazing things, I just don't know how to use it. This project gave me a little practice. I should take more classes, but I play too hard (giggle, giggle, just ask my hubby). Close ups? Absolutely...

So there you go. Smooches to the sisters. And smooches to my sister, she's amazing! Nothing in life compares to a sister. If you have one, cherish her.

Thought I would give you a peek at a few more pics. I haven't blogged alot recently. It's all to do with my KISS. "Keep It Simple Sista." It does magical things in my life. Ever read If You Take A Mouse To School? Yeah, that's me. So when I remember to KISS, life is much easier. And then I have more time to kiss, if you're following me. (I just cracked myself up!) Here's baby girl's new leggings:

She's wild and crazy, just like these pants! Tutu is from a Christmas production she danced in. And the topless part, well that's just her everyday attire around the house. Had to bribe her to keep the pants on for a photo. They quickly came off as soon as I was finished. I think she kept the tutu on though. Hold on while I get lost in that happy memory...

We went to a birthday party last weekend and here's our gift.

This has a zipper. Ooooh, aaaaaah. I have been working on zippers these days. BTW, I don't like them and they don't like me. Yuck. I've been sewing for so many years and have never perfected this skill. The time has come. One day I will conquer a silly zipper!

Now I'm off. I hear pitter patter upstairs. Sleeping house is now awake. And yes, I'm smiling huge. Off to kiss (literally) my babes! Kiss yours today too!
