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

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.
