its been a good week my friends...

this week was lovely...
my husband applied for his dream job (fingers crossed), my kids are just a crazy good time, my shop has picked up, my sewing is getting furious - and i'm excited about where it's all going, urban outfitters got served by the crafting community - sorry hipsters, we won that grill, and it's a long holiday style weekend that is going to be spent with my sweet little family and my best friend. love it.

i think i'm going to just take the next few days off and enjoy..
so happy weekend everyone ~ hope it is super duper awesome :)

i love vintage fabric...

i have a serious vintage fabric addiction.. one that will eventually take over my house... well maybe not the whole house, but definitely one room of it. that being said, i just made this little lovely from some of that stuff mentioned above...

have a super rest of the day!

nectar.. some wednesday treasury love...

we won a grill.

okay so this is just me being excited...
but first, for the record, dave and i never ever ever win anything... we've played the lottery (because who hasn't dreamed of being debt free?), we've entered info on our target receipts (i really want $5000 in that store - for real), and on and on... now granted those are rather slim pickins on winning.. but still, you get the point.
but yesterday we won a contest we entered... which is totally due to the fact ruby has the cutest face ever (i'm her momma so of course i think she does). all you had to do was send in a photo of the person who does the grilling in your house - so we sent in the photo below.... and cha-ching! dave is over the moon ... he is afterall the grillmaster in our neck of the woods :)  thanks earthfare and ruby!

boo power company

so i had this epic day of sewing planned... then along came the power company foiling my plans.
1800 homes without power due to some faulty breaker. thanks kub.

i figured if i couldn't make new, then i at least needed to give the shop some love with updated photos..

so here are three of the newest items in the shop with all new snazzy pictures...

happy tuesday all!

happy faces monday edition....

album cover Ruby....

sweet boy, just ate some bubble sticker Harvey....

happy start to the week!

thus far on a wednesday...

so far today has been the longest day imaginable...
it probably has something to do with my varying wake up calls ...
the first being at 2:30am.. which ended by 3am.. so back to bed until 6am... and since then i've been up and at em'. thank you harvey.

the cruel part to this whole bit is that harvey peacefully goes back to sleep for 2 1/2hours... and ruby, having woke up due to harvey's cries at 6am ( i keep stressing the a.m. part), is not sleepy one bit. eventually she gives in to the whole "i'm up way too early" thing.. so for an hour, i had time to myself.

i chose to drink coffee, eat a bagel, and indulge in my super guilty pleasure of watching last nights episode of Glee. my husband laughs a little at my liking of it, and to that i say i laugh a little at myself too. anyhoo.. it was a good hour.

oh and aside from watching glee i have (and currently am) been sewing.

two teasers... and pardon the bad light and fuzzy pictures please... it has been so rainy and overcast around here lately that i have absolutely no ability to take a decent picture. so the shop won't see these til later this week - word on the street - sunshine tomorrow!

alright folks... that's all she wrote :)

a treasury happy tuesday....

love him.

i'm not much on posting pictures of myself on here...
but i do love this little quickly snapped photo of dave and i...

and two of us 7 years ago.....

:)

busy days ahead....

morning all...

It's about to get super busy in my neck of the woods.
I just found out this past weekend that i got accepted into Bristol's Rhythm and Roots Festival... which made my weekend all the sweeter. It's my absolute favorite place to vend....i missed it last year (harvey arrived only two weeks prior, so i was slightly busy)... so it will be oh so nice to be there again this September. As far away as that seems, it always has a way of sneaking up on me really quick like... so i am getting ready to enter heavy production mode.  But at the end of it all i get to set back, sell what i love, and hear the sweet sounds of super amazing music... not too shabby :)

in other news... we gave ruby our old camera... so she has been going all around taking pictures of her day to day. it's wonderful to see the world from a 2year olds eyes...
here are a few of my favorites she took (they will be framed soon and on the walls in the house)

happy week everyone :)



slacker dacker doo

oh i am the slacker of all blog slackers.
it's been a rather interesting time lately... so my mind has trailed off from this.
harvey has been cutting teeth for what feels like forever, even though he's been miserable for only a week... a really long week for the both of us. ruby is working on conquering her toilet fear... which has to happen because this two in diapers business, no thank you. there have been birthdays and random celebrations galore.. so needless to say the blog and shop have fallen by the wayside.

the good part to all this distraction is that it has given me the opprotunity to really evaluate the shop and get myself a good list of changes i need to make in order to make it more successful, and make me happier about it all too :)  thankfully i have a wonderful husband who sat down with me last weekend, a bottle of wine and lots of conversation later i laid out a nice new plan of attack. so look for lots of changes ahead.. from bigger & better bags, to the return of bloom pins (yay - i've missed them), and some special new additions!

In the meantime i need to clean house... so the shop is in crazy clearance mode, and i'm running free shipping until May 10th. oooh and also I have a super sweet website and entire image/logo makeover coming very soon, yay for good friends.

alrighty so happy weekend folks..
i will leave you with some sweetness!

dill pickles, biscuits, and a cheese sandwich.. ruby is such a little southern girl
