gearing up for Christmas...

Can you believe it. We're already thinking about the Christmas season. In our shops, family and those many "things to do list" that we all have. Given that we all get so busy, I just wanted to say it....

Happy Halloween

Have a great Thanksgiving

And Merry Christmas

I know I've missed a lot of other hoildays in there but let me say also...

Happy Thanksgiving to our friends to the North

Happy Hanukkah

And a Happy Kwanzaa

that being said I thought I would give you some tips to make the most out of your busy season.

1. Don't take yourself so seriously

2. Get over your anger and frustration by eating some chocolate.

3. Give your friends some of that same chocolate-add a note about something funny.

4. Set some limits to how much frustration you will take daily---30 minutes to 1 hour is good, then go have some chocolate.

Are we seeing a theme here. Chocolate, the 5th food group. As I was posting some holiday pieces to etsy I was searching for some because I was having a lot of trouble with my computer last night. Didn't find any (so you know what is on the top of my grocery list) that I really wanted to eat, only found some stale cookies that HAD to share with hubby.

What are some of your tips to get through the holidays? I'd love to hear them.

Sorry for being offline this week, talk to you soon.

thought I'd disappeared did you...

This has been a real busy week for me. A lot of

work to get done, both at my day job and for

"faire wings and pixie dust"

I needed to do a little of this and a whole lot of everything else. As you can see I've got a little show and tell with what has been keeping me busy.

Embroidered

set of 5 lace buttons in pink. Just larger than a quarter. Since we have those CPSIA laws going into effect I needed to find something to replace the buttons. I thought this was a start but I really need to find some that are a little smaller. I found them at a great wedsite called, www.cuteembroidey.com. In making my Princesses in Pink Pillowcase top and diaper cover I got a chance to use them. The above outfit is a 24 mth old size and can be worn year round.

Now to think what I'm going to do with all those lovely buttons that I have collected for years and I do mean years. Some my mother gave me from clothing that I remember her wearing as I was growing up. Talk about recycling, they knew what it meant to use everything again and again.

Well I need to get dressed for another action packed day at work. Oh, like I haven't already gotten started on my next project this morning.

Just wanted to stay in touch...Ya'll have a good day.

Milly Mouse's Halloween

Meet Milly...she lives in the pumpkin down the road. With fall coming she's thinking of not renewing her lease on this great one room home. See... someone already painted a face on the front door.

This is a Cherokee onsie that will fit a 18 to 24 mth old. Milly has been machine embroidered on the chest. I've added a little ruffle a little off the waist to give it a dress look.

I guess I better stop and find something for dinner tonight.

if my head...

Well, if my head wasn't attached... I'm usually very careful about where I leave my keys now a days, because I would lose them so often. You guessed it, lost them again. Just spent 45 minutes looking for them.
Please don't tell hubby...he swears he's going to get me a clapper for my keys.

Do you lose things, too. What?

Ruth

P. S. I'll get back to business later today, got to find another place to hide my keys when I come back from the post office.

I don't want to go back to work...

Yesterday was the last day of my vacation.
I don't want to go back to work.
Please don't make me.

this is scary!!!

Hi guys,

I've got the second site up, kinda scary, but exciting. My third site will only be for supplies, which I have a lot of. Since I'm featuring more of a clothing line all the other things not in use will go up for sale. I do have patterns listed on my main site but not for much longer.

Huey G will remain small right now while I build some more stock but look out. Things that will listed are

• bows
• headbands
• ornaments
• shoes n booties
• patches
• and anything else

Just watch out. Does this mean I have to quit my day job?
