busy, busy!

I've got lots of projects lined up for myself on the very near horizon... I am in the mood to pretty up my bedroom, which means pillows are being made! I have busy at work on a large custom order for my shop which is finally done and now I am trying to get the shop ultra-stocked! I've been scouting out vintage papers and bits to do some special new things with in the shop as well, which I am super excited about. I am planning a "Christmas in July" sale to be very spectacular and I can't wait to share it all with you. I am planning a GREAT GIVEAWAY week beginning Monday in celebration of my 300th post! Busy, busy, busy... right?! :) Whew- but I'm loving it. This is what I want to be doing right now. I feel blessed to be able to create things and love having an outlet to do so!

Soooo, here is the adorable new fabric I picked up at our local Yardage Town. They have such funky, different fabrics and I fell in love with both of these. One is a retro "suburban" neighborhood print, complete with barbecue grills and campers! AH, so cute! The other is a European village scene print which I totally adore! Can't wait to create some things out of these... I am still trying to decide what to use them for. Any ideas?! :)

And here are some new little goodies in the shop...

...cute and bright "you rock" tags!! Love these! :)

...and two adorable vintage-inspired scalloped tags!

And don't forget that
EVERYTHING
in the shop is
20% off
until June 14th in honor of the YART sale... do your shopping now while it is ALL on sale! :)

I hope you all are having productive and creative weeks.... what is on your to-do list lately?! xo!

back in action!

Whew, I so needed a break.

A break from blogging, a break from the crafting, a break from daily routine. And I got it- the ultimate relaxing weekend in Palm Springs was perfect for all of us. It was a chance to completely relax without having to be obligated to do something... to clean, to work, to do schoolwork, to be at appointments or kid's lessons.... it was just what I needed.

The view from our room...

My sister Mallory and I out by the pool! :)

The family... my parents, sister, and of course, Andrew & I! :)

Andrew & me splashing around in the pool... he had the BEST time and started sobbing when we had to leave. I loved our vacation, it was the perfect trip to take with a five-year old! :)

And now I am back and fully ready to get back into the swing of things! Back to getting my Etsy shop back in order and stocked full of cute things, like this new card...

...and of course, back to my sweet little blog and all of you lovely friends here! :) Now I am off to create some more things and work on a custom order before taking Andrew to karate this afternoon! Back into the swing of being home, right? And I can truly say, even though I miss that gorgeous poolside in Palm Springs, I am more than happy to be home!
