Hi there. Long time no chat.  I’m really starting to slow down. 5 more weeks. I’m swollen beyond belief. Henry said, "Mama, your feet look like ‘Lil smokies."  I’m actually not counting down, because well, we are not really prepared. Stuff still needs to be bought, and  um, a name would be helpful. I am…

Okay, just a day later than expected, but the wearable wrist pin-cushions have just been uploaded into the shop! I love how these turned out. They look so cute on. I made them almost exactly a year ago and they were all snatched up pretty quickly so grab one if you find one you like.…

(sitch= short for situation.) We’ve got a lot of Children’s books around here. There’s the basket next to our bed, the basket next to Henrys bed, the books on the bookshelf, the books on the shelf in the closet. Usually at night when we are reading Henry stories, the books mysteriously  seem to make their…

Hope you have a Spring-filled day with sweet treats, lots of peeps and things that are neat! (that’s the pregnancy brain talkin’!) xoxo

Is everyone just loving this time of year? I am. All the pastels, new blossoms, longer days and evening sunshine. We had some little friends (and some Mama’s, too) over earlier this week for some cookie decorating goodness. So fun to connect and get caught up on eachothers lives. I always wished I could decorate…

Henry: "Mama, is that a gynormous piece of pizza in your belly?" Mama: "um…what are you saying? Later that same evening… Chris: "What’s Henry standing next to? Is that his bed or what?"Me:  "It’s my gynormous pizza belly"  (he said it wasn’t obvious enough what the huge black thing was.)

I love lemons. I always have. When I was a kid growing up here in Southern California, I used to walk to the end of our street, Friends Avenue, and pick lemons from the neighbors tree. I’d cut one open, sprinkle it with salt and have a go at it. We used to eat avocado’s…

Thanks so much for all of your great suggestions regarding the last post. A lot of you brought up points that I hadn’t really thought about- so thank you for that. I have just uploaded the applique’s to the shop. They are sold in sets of 3, 6 or 10. I’d love to here any…

A few posts ago I had talked about working on some new things for my little shop. I’ve been toying with the idea of selling appliques/iron-on’s for a while and was finally able to work on some this week. The thing that I’ve been debating is selling just the applique or the whole kit and…

Whenever I pass the banana’s at the market, I always grab a bunch. I don’t particularly care for banana’s but I’ll eat them and I figure if they are in the house, I’m more likely to. So I always buy them and pretty much without fail they always end up looking like this: Eeewwwww. I…
