It's our last day/night in the old place... then we are headed to the place we call home.
This here is perhaps the most perfect song about where we are headed... I think anyone who lives, or has lived there gets a little warm and fuzzy when they hear this.
It's by the everybodyfields .. go look them up.. it's magic i tell you.
happy weekend ~

and finally... we have a home...
Well folks, after a long and frustrating hunt we found us a place to call home for the long haul.
After many a dissapointment we stumbled upon the perfect house.. a super old craftsman in a lovely little sidewalked neighborhood. The kids were ecstatic to be done looking for a house... see photos below for how they handled the hunting process:
The whole family is excited about the house... Dave has plans to "braverman" our back yard, Ruby can't wait to get in her "cool new room" (that's all she says, I swear), and Harvey was so comfortable in the place upon setting foot in it he pooped up his diaper (this is a true sign of a success... because he only does that in a place he feels comfy). I'm looking forward to being settled... we've been slightly nomadic lately, so this will be a wonderful feeling.
I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as we get in there.
In the meantime all my sewing is on hold.. but I've got lots of new ideas I can't wait to share soon about where the shop is headed. Lets just say it includes making my own fabric... can't wait.
happy week all!

The Moving Sale...
Our move is fast approaching.. so fast, that i realized two weeks from today I will be unpacking boxes in a new house. I'm not sure if I have shared this stress with you guys yet.... but we have not found a house, let me repeat, WE HAVE NOT FOUND A HOUSE.
This makes for one ball of nerves and stress, also known as me. We are continuing our house hunt this coming weekend, and regardless of what shanty we may encounter, we must claim a house as ours asap.
In the meantime I am putting my entire shop on SUPER SALE mode. I hate packing, so the less I have to do the better...
to give you an idea of some prices.. all bags are less then $38.00, some even as low as $23.00...
and all pins are $10.00 or less...
so happy shopping, and happy hump day!
..the above bag was originally $50, it's a large one, but is now on sale for $38
the pin above was originally $14.. but is now only $10...

and ruby turns 3...
Our sweet little Ruby turned 3 this past weekend..
It's wild to think she can already be this old.. and in selfish mom fashion I wish her small just a little while longer. I can't count how many times I was told when i was pregnant with her..."enjoy it, they grow so fast"... and now I realize all those people were telling the truth.
Dave and I threw together a shindig at the house.... surrounded by discount silver christmas decor, fairy wands, pirate swords, lots of sprinkles, many a loved one, a rather rambunctious cheese ball eating Harvey and a pup named biscuit... Ruby felt uber loved.
It was the kind of birthday a parent hopes their kid gets to have.... so thanks all you lovely, lovely people.
happy monday folks ~

poor, poor machine...
hello folks...
well in rather sad news my machine has decided to kick the bucket.... apparently settling for the cheap one wasn't the best idea. it's been a good two years.. but i've ran it into the ground. my little local sewing shop will be receiving it soon to see if it is worth salvaging... so newness in the shop is put on hold for just a bit.
i'm a little disheartened, because i've been in the sewing mood a lot lately, and i have so many new ideas ... however it's kinda good timing i suppose. ya see, the family and i are moving again.. and soon.. actually in three weeks.. and not a single thing is packed in my house.
soo...
i suppose fate interviened to tell me to get on it with the boxes and packing tape. ...
and in case you are interested, we are headed back "home".. to the land of family, friends, and pal's (if you live there.. then you know.. it's a to be missed place)...
lots of new adventures are on the horizon career wise.. and hopefully sewing machine wise too..
i'll keep you posted.
and for some monday funny... a rather accurate picture of how this day typically goes here (monday's are the pits for these babes)
