so i made a little treasury ode to the talking heads yesterday...
i love them oh so much.... they are my 'all is right in the world' music...
without further adieu here is the treasury.... and a sweet little ditty (it was mine and my husbands first dance at our wedding - so it holds a special place in my <3 )....
treasury....
and love....

notes for future generations.. and oh yeah i'm sewing...
a sweet teaser dose of spring has hit my neck of the woods... and i couldn't be happier.
i am able to wear a sun dress today ( they make me oh so happy ), the kids are barefoot, and my windows are open... now if it would only stay this way.
i've been sewing up new bags all week long... which has been lovely... and we have also set a move date ( two weeks from saturday)...
so look for new things coming soon in the shop ...
and i will be looking forward to a new home..
here is a little something we left for the next ones who get our house ...
it's the underside of the mantle my husband built for the fireplace surround ....see below...(he built that too)

(sidenote- this is a super clean stripped down version of our living room for selling purposes)
the idea for the little note came from whomever built our house... when we were removing the wall heaters we found under the walls a little note that said "hello 2000" - from 1950. it was such a fun find we had to carry the tradition on ourselves.
anyhoo.
have a happy rest of the week folks!

sweet music...
okay.. so i love music...who doesn't? but lately it has weened itself out of my life... i've been engulfed in toy story, yo gabba gabba, and on and on...
but enter this week
so far it has been quite musical in my house.
we had a grammy filled sunday evening... apparently ruby is a justin beiber fan - she danced the entire time he was on - sigh.....
i on the other hand was excited about seeing my sweet, wonderful Avett Brothers ( they did not disappoint ) and i was so happy to find a new bad, Mumford and Sons ( late to the game on that one)... rule of thumb in my house - if a stand up bass is nearby then good music will abound.
Beginning yesterday I googled the heck out of my new discovery and found myself in a blissful situation listening to the NPR tiny desk concert series ... a combination of two of my favorites, NPR and music - double love. Now i have this little collection of new to me bands and tried and trues that i have played all the live long day... so i will share them with you.. .because i like to think you all might like to hear them too :)

empty shelves and new fabric....
it's getting a little bare at my house... lots of packing and not so much making.. but thus is life...
my sweet little built in that i will miss so dearly is almost empty with the exception of some odds and ends and my husband's kangaroo - it holds all his day to day items - and was found at an antique store in Boone, NC - a must have for my 'Pulp Fiction' loving man.
i have never moved with children.. but i have found that diaper boxes are a dream come true for such an occasion. At least that helps ease the cost of them a little.
This past week we officially got our house on the market.... which is a little scary.. but exciting. I've never sold a house so I am crossing my fingers on this experience and hoping for a smooth ride.
Our days are numbered in this little nook of Tennessee.... only 3 more weeks til we bid adieu to the area i have lived in my entire life and head on down the road (it's only 2 hours away). Even though it isn't all that far , I am looking forward to the change it will bring to us.
I've been doing some searching online and found there is a wonderful community of ETSY sellers who meet monthly where we will be living - so that has me super excited. I have noone nearby who does that sort of thing.. and my husband and I have always joked that our neighbors are probably always trying to figure out what it is that we do - because from time to time i pack up my car with my Sweet and Dirty's set-up and peddle away - this always involves many random pieces of vintage display furniture (dumpster diver extraordinaire right here). So it will be nice to have others around :)
Speaking in terms of making - i've got a long list of custom orders that are at my feet, which i love... and i bought some new to me fabric this weekend - that translates into new bags for the shop! I spent the other day printing up more tags, since i had dwindled down on my last batch...
I've got plans to spend the rest of this week sewing when i can... photo it up this weekend... and then present some springtime goodness to the shop starting monday morning.
