Good Enough to Eat

This set is just about sweet enough to eat. Made for the Haute Couture launch on ebay it was inspired by snowmen, holiday parties and the fun colors. I don't know what I love more about this fabic, the colors or the s'mores? The colors are very fun and festive while the print just screams holiday celebrations. I just have to say thank you to both Monica and Alia for such cute, cute photographs.

When Does A Mother Get Her Mind Back???

See, I used to be one of those girls that could remember things from years ago. I could grocery shop with out a list and come back with everything I had needed. Christmas lists, daily tasks and even birthdays for everyone in my extended family were easy to remember. No one told me that each time you have a child you loose a piece of your mind. You hear stories of love and happiness but none of feeling like you suffer from early onset Alzheimer's. I have 3 beautiful children. With each one my thoughts have gotten more jumbled. My memory is on the fritz. I have days where I feel I am lucky to have remembered to bring all 3 of the kids home from the grocery store let alone all of the things on my list. I have to jot down lists and make little notes to myself to remember play dates and school functions. Pretty soon I am going to be that crazy lady with yellow post-it notes all over the house with no idea what any of them are for. Are my brain cells just in hiding until the kids are grown and the coast is clear? That way I will go into old age without any memories of the full orange juice container spilled on the floor or the full pack of gum left in a pair of jeans that melted all over my clothes in the dryer?

Ladies please tell me is there any hope for my condition?

Here Comes The Sun

I am sorry. Sorry that I have neglected my posting. I have no excuse other than 3 kids out of school during an abnormally rainy summer. Yikes! I have gotten to the point of trying to sew while they demolish the house. I have almost become deaf to the sounds of rough housing and the occasional screams of "MOOOOOM". Thank goodness the sun has finally come out. Right after breakfast it was outside with the beasties. Don't worry, I will let them back in for food but other than that I shant see them until naptime. Ah, life is good.

Just About At My Boiling Point

Look, we all know that this government is destroying this county. We all know that they are going to keep on doing what they want no matter what the voters say. They are crazy living in this tainted bubble with no real clue what goes on in the everyday lives of the citizens of this country. I have tried, really tried to behave and not get to political. It can be a really touchy subject. But I think Barbara Boxer has finally pushed me to the point of wanting to get the entire congress thrown out and to start over.
In a clip on the radio this morning she was questioning a Brigadier General. In his response he referred to her as Ma'am. Common military practice. She interrupted him mid-sentence and demanded that she be addressed as Senator because she had worked hard for the title. Are you kidding me??????? I am including a copy of the email that I have sent. Please. If there is anyone out there that finds this ridiculous send a not to her at the link below my note. Feel free to cut and paste my text if you wish.

I have to start by saying that I am a US citizen, woman and voter. I have tried to stay above the fray, treating others with respect and behaving in a dignified fashion. I have been an avid supporter of women in politics. For the first time in my life I am writing to a politician to say you should be ashamed of yourself. To interupt a person speaking, let alone a Brig. General, to correct his address of you is childish, rude and very arrogant. You may have earned the title of Senator my dear but I would be willing to bet not with the same energy and commitment that the man whom you corrected earned his. SHAME ON YOU.

This One is for the Boys

Alright, alright. I know I have been stalling on the boys sets. It's my fault I know. I can't help it. The fabrics for boys are just not that inspiring to me. Well that was until I got my hands on this fantastic dragon fabric. I must admit I did enjoy doing this set. Yes even the dragon applique by hand. I just may have to do more sets for little boys. Now to let my son know he doesn't get to keep it......Sorry Baby.

Here Comes The Attitude

Holy Heck. Didn't see that coming. One day she is my sweet mini-me and the next my girl has morphed into "The Attitude". We are entering the tween phase of our relationship and things are getting off to a relatively easy start. So far a few rolled eyes and drawn-out sighs are what I am graced to receive. I am sure it won't end here. All I can say is buckle up baby we are in for a bumpy ride.
