Hello Monday {Thanksgiving}

Hello Monday...I am so excited to have the entire week off school!

I haven't had the whole Thanksgiving week off in a long time!

Hello custom orders...

making a topsy turvy doll for a friend's granddaughter.

From my hubby...

she knows you love her if you're willing to make another one of those...right?!?

Hello aprons...

I have a stack to finish and another custom order to get to...

That's what I get for posting pictures of cute things!

Hello time at home...need to clean this house big time!

Helping the boys and Kenny get all their treasures into a new home will be so good for my state of mind!

Hello thrift store...

 Kenny needs the space!

Hello new messenger bag...

Hello baking time...

Hopefully we'll get some time in this week!

 

Hello nephews...

I hope I can see them this week!

 

Hello Monday!

I am going to make the most of this week!

Until next time,

Linking up will Miss Lisa for Hello Monday!

Inspired

A very dear friend asked me to make something special for her daughter for Christmas.  You see Miss T is getting a play kitchen and every busy girl needs an apron for her kitchen work.  The texts and Pinterest boards were filled with ideas.  

We finally settled on this as an inspiration...

Super cute, but the felt wasn't working for me.  

So I did what I always do, I put my own spin on it!

I came up with two beautiful princess aprons that will be sure to be a delight for Miss T and her kitchen adventures!

I used solid broadcloth fabric and lots of ruffles to make the cuteness pop.  The ties were replaced with little fingers friendly velcro straps and elastic was added to the neck line, so she will be able to put it on independently.  I was so pleased and so was Miss T's mama.  I love being able to help people bring their visions to life! 

You can follow me on Pinterest...you never know what I'll make next!

Until next time,

Time

Holy smokes time is flying by!  This school year is 1/3 of the way over...cannot believe it!

I have been a busy bee, but getting over here to blog about it just hasn't been happening, sorry about that!

I have been sewing, and grading, and teaching, and mama-ing, and trying to bring order back to my crazy house.  Not too much luck on the last one, but next week I am off school so the house will be mine once again!

I cannot wait for parent conferences to be over and time with my family to be here!  

Four days people, four more days!

I have added a bunch of stuff to the shop...maybe that's why my house is crazytown...hmmm.

I've jumped into some giveaways lately for pretties from the shop and one just started today!

Kimmie at Sugar and Dots is celebrating her birthday by hosting a huge giveaway bash!  Seriously, over $800 worth of goodies!  So go enter!  It would be wonderful to have one of my friends win that haul!

I have so much to share...I will try to be back soon!

Until next time,

Hello Monday
