Happy Anniversary

Well today is my anniversary. D & I have been married for 11 years! I can hardly believe it. What an 11 years it has been too! I'll be honest there was a long period in the middle where it just sucked. But by the grace of God we have overcome those issues & are now happier & more in love than when we got married. I know that sounds cliche'. But it really is true. We got married when I was 19 & D was 23. Sure I loved him & he was my best friend but at the time that is not why I was marrying him. It took me 9 years to realize what a wonderful man my husband truly was. He has to be the most patient man I have ever met. God knew what he was doing when he placed us together. Having come through on the other side of all that stuff still in love or actually I guess I should say truly in love. I can actually say that we love each other more now than when we got married.

So I want to let my husband and all of the world (at least those few who actually read my blog) know that I LOVE YOU! Thank you so much for putting up with me and all of the crap that I gave you. You are a great man and I am proud of you and appreciate all that you do for us. I thank God for you.

Loveme

My Newest Product & my Fav!

I am finally getting around to selling my signature Kimonos. I just love kimonos on little ones. They are so cute! I have been making them for my daughter & friends for a while & I finally got around to listing one in my store. I just love it & I have had lots of complements already! Of course the adorable model helps too! Thanks Shantel!

A Summation if my Daughter in One Picture

This one picture sums up just about everything there is to know about my Stinkpot. Nevermind the fact that she can't read. It wouldn't matter anyway.

Look what I found in my kitchen!

There is a stool in our kitchen that I now have to keep on the back of the stove so that K will stay out of stuff. Well this particular morning I forgot to put it away before she got up. This is the result.

These PJ's are the cutest!

I saw these on Etsy a few weeks ago & fell in love with them! I just love Heather Ross's fabric & the bycicles bring back memories! It was finally cool enough last week for her to wear them & I couldn't help myself but to take a few pics. She of course didn't want to cooperate but I managed to snap some anyway. So here is a pick of my Stinkpot in these adorable pajamas! They are made by Heather Hale Designs & I totally want her to make me some more!

Running & headbanging just don't mix

I discovered last night that running & headbanging don't mix. It is very hard to headbang & run (at least on the treadmill) at the same time. I kept getting disoriented each time my head would come back up. Then my feet want to run to the same rhythm my head was banging to & that doesn't work so well either. I am surprised I didn't fall flat on my face & fly off the treadmill! So just as a warning to all you metal headbanging runners out there. Don't try to do both at the same time!

I got some new fabric!

This is the whole reason I sew... Fabric. I love it. I can't get enough. So to justify the money I spend on fabric I sew! That way D can't say anything about the $ I spend b/c I am making $ too! It's all part of my evil plan, hahaha!

I ordered this fabric last week & it came yesterday! I just love Matryoshka dolls. Ever since I went to Russia when I was in high school I have loved them. I have a small but beautiful collection of them. When I saw this fabric I knew I just had to buy some! I can't wait to create with it!
