Etsykids Tool Love

Sam loves Handy Manny and his tools. I was checking out some Etsykids sites for tool themed goodies and look at what I found..
MissBakerStitches

Over at MissBakerStitches I found some tool rattles. Sam is 21 months now but still teething like a mad man.

In denisejacobsohn's shop I found this little fabric tool kit. Sam had one like this before but lost all of the pieces. I like that it is all fabric.

Over at TriedandTrue I saw a great tool themed diaper bag.

If you have a sec go check out these shops!

My beautiful boy has two kidneys that work AWESOME! We got a great report from the surgeon last week and it was so good to get if after waiting 4 months from Sam's initial surgery. He turned 21 months old yesterday and he gives us so much joy. Here are a few new pictures too. The buddy buddy

Etsykids Superhero Love

I am trying to get back to blogging...now yes I know I have promised this many times before but with Sam not needing anymore surgeries and school winding down for the year, I should have a bit more free time. I am thinking about making some superhero themed items so I checked out some fellow etsykids folks.



These super cute superheros from Pegged and I will for sure order one as soon as Sam is bigger. You get to pick which superhero you want.
These are hand knit super hero finger puppets "egglets" from Egglet

PartyInk created these adorable personalized super hero sticker. They are afforable and would be great for a party or gift stickers.


When my son was little he would always lose his binkys so a binky holder like this would have been fantastic. Little Birds Boutique created this functional and cute binky holder that is all boy.

So go check out these shops and support my fellow etsykids members.

Happy 16 Months Bubba

My bubba came into this world 16 months ago today. He is a HUGE blessing and I feel like we are so lucky to have him in all our lives. Here are a few boastful mom things that I love about him

1. the good morning hugs I get when I am able to get him out of bed.

2. his giggles they crack me up

3. how clever he is. I see so much of my hubby and myself in him.

4. when he smiles I see glimpses of myself and my dad in him.

5. how my grandma shortly before passing called him lazy because he wasn't walking and less than 24 hours after she passed he started walking all of the time.

6. how he makes me feel awesome everyday and brings such joy to our lives.



This is an old pic of when he got his 1st awful haircut 3 months ago. It was soo bad, pardon my boob shot

Listen to sewitsforyous Playlist

Hi everyone,

It has been quite a long time since my last post. I haven't been doing as much crafting as I used to but I do as much as time allows. I am working on items for my most favorite show Atomic Holiday Bazaar. The show is December 11th-12th in Sarasota. Please come out and get some awesome gifts for the holidays. I always get some fabulous things. A lot of of my necklaces that some of you admire were bought at the past couple of Atomic shows.




These are short, sweet and to the point hankies..

Who doesn't love a super hero baby? I do!

I love me some moustaches....here is a gift for some friends..

Some Napkins for the faint at heart..

In honor of my son and hubby part of my new british series...

For all the ladies( and men who like pink and to cook) who like to cook.

Have a great holiday weekend!

Etsykids Love

Well I am finally getting back to blogging woo hoo!. I am going to share with you Poppy Patch Quiltery's shop. She is a fellow Etsykids shop so here are a couple things I liked.

What a perfect gift for your favorite toddler girl. She can take her crayons everywhere now with this nifty little holder.

These soft texture blocks are so adorable. I think I may have to get them for Sam's b-day stash. he is just starting to stack things.

Check out her shop!

Been A loooonngg Time

A LOT has happened since my last post, I got a full-time teaching job about a month ago, and we finally got a computer at home for the 1st time in like a year and a half.

Today will be a short post but I will be posting a lot more often and am going to be having a contest that will be announced soon.

I wanted to show you a treasury I was included in. These sushi napkins were made from Regina's adorable patterns she made for my etsy shop.

I am still doing my embroidery just at a much slower pace. I am working on an idea to have a show at my school one weekend but I will definately be at Atomic Holiday Bazaar this December. I can't wait. Adrien is awesome! I have gotten tons of compliments on necklaces at work that I picked up at last year's show...

My Recent Work (clean versions)

I became acutely aware not everyone has a potty mouth like I do. Here are some of my newer works ( and cleaner versions) for all to look at.

Thought Bubble Napkins..I guess something could be put in the middle to make it personalized.
Hmm not too hard to figure out what this says..
This one doesn't take a braintrust either...
These napkins you can invent the expletive it says.

Some lovely shop owner on etsy included my sushi napkins in her treasury. In all my years I have never been able to snag a treasury on etsy. Any hints?

Blog Carnival for July

One of the blog carnivals for this month was where, when or who did you learn your handmade craft from?

Hmm I started to do embroidery about 4 years ago when my husband became sick with what we thought was his appendix, and then became a mystery ailment and wound up being his appendix landed him so hospital time. I was worried about him and couldn't focus on my school work or reading so I sent away for the Sublime Stitching Kit and taught myself how to embroider. I totally sucked at the beginning but now it has been 4 years and I can't believe it. How time flies.

Etsybloggers July love for Sykin's NW Wonders

This month's featured Etsyblogger is Sykin's NW Wonders. She currently has 2 etsy shops and I chose her shop that is dedicated to handcrafted items & photography from the Pacific Northwest.

Here are a few of my favorite things.



Both of these pictures are so lovely. The totally made me think about the Goonies and all of the lush surroundings in that movie. That movie brings me back to good times and so do these pictures.

EtsyBloggers June Love for Beaded Tail

Better late than never seems to be my most common line lately. Here is my very tardy Etsybloggers Love for Beaded Tail

Here is a pink tigers eye bracelet.

These are 8mm white Swarovski crystals dangling from 10mm hammered look silver toned circles.
What I like aboput her shop is a portion of the sale of her items will go to benefit animal awareness causes.

Etsykids Love Petite Fish

I can across the cutest shop on Etsy Kids today called Petite Fish. I was looking for something for Sam to wera and I fell in love.. I am finding so many great things from fellow EtsyKids folks I wish I had more money!

This is the Kramer the Alien Shirt

This is the smores bib ( who doesn't love smores?) It can also be made in a onesie.

ARRRGHHHH Look at the Pirate skull..

So go check out Petite Fish!

Treasuries Galore!

I have never had a treasury on etsy. I have tried to make one but often get frustrated and just quit trying. I have gotten 2 messages in the past two days from people who included me in their treasuries..Here's a looksee..

This was from Oh Baby Dot Com. She is a fellow Etsy Kids friend.

This was from Bululu's Shop. Check out her stuff. She is a fellow fester...

I am working on embroidering again at night in preparation for my Christmas in July sale. I just finished a set of Sushi napkins and working on some Hanukkah Themed ones now. I will post pics soon.

Etsykids Love!!

I just saw this shop Mi Cielo Mi Cielo and fell in love. There are some of the cutest things ever here. This is a fabulous site for any Star Wars Fans. I love all the custom shirts and bodysuits.



How great would this be for any little boy wtaching the A-Team with his daddy. I pity the fool...
Ninja's are so cool. I love this little bodysuit. I think Sam is too big for it but maybe a toddler shirt.

This Yoda rattle and onesie are so great. I am going to have to get this for my friend who is pregnant.

Check out this great little etsy shop!
