Last day of January

I hate winter. I really do. I'm so tired of it. This winter has been a lot better than other winters for me, but I am still so ready for it to be over. So, this is the last day of January, February is a short month, and then March is spring! I can do that right! Oh I hope so.

I've already got some organic heirloom seeds from Homegrown Healthy and Smokey mist gardens on etsy. I can't wait to grow this pumpkin! Isn't it beautiful! Come on spring!

Awwwww...

I got to do lots of custom items for Christmas. Here is one of my dolls in her new home with her new Mommy.

This just made my day!

Winter

I usually hate winter, but this year has been so much better. Maybe it's because there hasn't been any snow yet. Maybe it's because my girls are bigger and more fun to hang out with. Maybe it's because I've been so stinkin' busy!

Anyway, it's been nice and cozy this year and I'm enjoying it.

That's a job well done

I got to make 5 life sized snowmen for a display for a charity event benefiting kids with cancer. It took me months, but I'm done now and they turned out really well.



I went down to the CDA Resort to help set up on friday for the Festival of trees. It was really fun, but it took 7 hours!

Black Friday

I LOVE Black Friday, so I just wanted to link really quick to a list of bunch of Black Friday sales on Etsy. My name will be on that list soon ;)

Cuteness!

Now that I'm not a month behind it's easier to just sit down and blog.

I got to make these sweet little aprons for a friend of my Mom's. They turned out so cute!

These are my kids modeling them.

We're getting ready for Thanksgiving now, and I have a lot to be thankful for. Family, home, love, success, friends, comfort.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Oh good, the stomache flu

I have not died or fallen off the face of the earth. I have been so incredibly busy!!!!!!
First of all, we finished our basement and rearranged the entire house. The kitchen was the only room that stayed mostly the same. It's just like moving without the excuse to order pizza. But now the girls have their own rooms, we have an office and a nice big school room!

I've been making 5 life sized snowmen for a charity event for children with cancer. It took me 2 months to design the first one and then a good 3 hours for each one after that. Whew!

Add to everything else, my shop has just gone nuts! I never thought I'd be this busy! It's unreal! I've got custom orders coming out my ears!

And then, the stomach flu. Sometimes we need to slow down and rest and re-evaluate what's important. If you can't find an opportunity on your own, the Lord will give you that opportunity. So thank you Lord, for the stomach flu. This week I've spent a lot of time snuggling and nurturing my children. Yesterday I got to sleep all day and take a long bath. Today I get to serve my husband. That's my real job, that's more important than any old snowmen.
