feature and giveaway!

The lovely Hannah of Sherbet Blossom is doing a giveaway for me today!

I've been working day and night making new things for my shop and there are several new designs.

I'm also having a sale - everything is 20% off - starting today and ending next Thursday (April 22). So if you're looking for something for Mother's Day or just for fun, now's a great time to get something.

Some of the new designs

destashing a bit

I was looking through my quilting/sewing books today and found a few I could part with. So I've listed them in my etsy shop at some great prices. I haven't been making much jewelry as of late, but there still are several goodies in there. Go on over and check it out!

so excited!

I did a trade with a new friend last week. (I LOVE trading). Gina has a lovely little etsy shop and a great little blog. We exchanged emails because of a giveaway she did and happened to check out my blog. She liked a pair of my earrings and I suggested a trade for one of her gorgeous stamps. Thankfully she agreed and I got this stamp in the mail the other day (with my own name and address of course.) Then she mentioned me and my packaging on her blog! Thanks Gina!





p.s. another trade I made today: I sewed for my friend while she cleaned my kitchen. That's a trade I'd love to make any day!


p.p.s. what I actually got accomplished the day I wasn't sure what to do: washed 2 loads of laundry, folded 4 loads of laundry, put away 6 loads of laundry, made my bed (a rare occurrence), and puttied a few holes in some trim in the kitchen, sanded them, then painted over them.

that's me - making lobes more lovely

Thanks so much to marta of m. writes. She's doing a giveaway for me today so head on over and try to win yourself a pair of earrings!

p.s. I also added a few valentines to my shop, so go over and check them out.

I forgot . . .

A few things I forgot to tell you . . .



Luke also makes lightsaber noises when playing lightsabers with the boys.

He has also been throwing tantrums.



I put a few new things in my etsy shop the other day and I think I'll be listing a lot more. (I went a little overboard on bead shopping.) If there's something custom you'd like, please let me know.

ps - thanks kristin for the pear idea (and the book idea).
