Spreading a little Love...

I realize that we have just gotten past Christmas and still have New Years to go but I feel that Love is in the air! :) LOL, so cheesy! Anyway, I have big plans and new items perfect for the Loves in your life so I wanted to start out with a fresh look for the upcoming Valentine season...

Look for fabulous new fabrics and new items coming in the next few weeks!

Have a Safe and Fabulous New Years!

A Christmas Play...

We had the best Christmas plays this year! Well, the first one wasn't a play but it was beautiful just the same. My son who normally plays guitar for church learned a song on the piano and another of the youth played the guitar... and finally, one of our young men sang. It was a beautiful song by Casting Crowns. I was just so proud of all of them for stepping outside of their normal for our Lord... it's what Christmas is all about: the gift that God gave all of us.

The young kids actually wrote their own play (or at least the idea of it) and it was wonderful! They actually did a little play about salvation and the things we wrestle with in our daily lives. For little kids, I think they get it a lot better than most adults!

Here are a couple of shots from their play...

I'm so thankful that we do have the opportunity to Praise God and Worship him... What a blessing to be able to teach our children the real meaning of the season.
Merry CHRISTmas!

Yummy Delights

After all the sewing had been finished, packaged and put away, I decided to make myself a little treat... a new apron with a fancy little J embroidered by Kathy's Bridal... Thanks Kathy! This is just a little sneak peek of the apron in action but I'll post later with a real model.


Pay no attention to the crazy lady in the glasses...



Me, Kara and my little niece Peyton iced the cookies with an easy (but messy) glaze icing recipe. I cheated and used Betty Crocker icing to make initials for all the recipients... They don't look that good but they taste YUMMY! :)


Next treat to make on my list is Rock Candy. I can't wait to have some of that! Yummy!!!

For real cookies, be sure to check out Paula's Blog! She has beautiful cookies and treats!

Look what was peeking under my tree!

I just have to show you what I found peeking at all the gifts under our tree! These cute little monkeys will be finding new buddies at Dawn's house this Christmas! Dawn, I hope these guys are just perfect for your kiddos!

Next, a special treat! Kathy requested some cuties and she wanted to add some names to her babies so, here they are... aren't they just precious???? After the holidays, I'll resume orders and will be happy to get your order Monogrammed or a name embroidered by Kathy's... just take a look at how adorable they are!

The last babies, well, they are for an old friend... her girls needed these babies badly and I just had to make sure they got them. Thanks Jamie! I know they will be loved!

Thanks so much to everyone for making my holiday sales the best ever! I'll resume orders the week after Christmas. I can't wait to start on some new ideas for 2009!

Babies are Ready!

Finally! The last of the babies are completed! I'm so happy that I've got them finished and I'm going to start emailing everyone now!

Just a few more monkeys to finish and all my holiday orders will be completed. Once all the orders are finished, I'm going to concentrate on getting my home ready for company and starting some holiday baking. I've already told miss Paula that we will be making cookies but I don't think mine will turn out as pretty as hers! I just hope we have an ooey gooey time making them! :)

See my first boys??? I just think they are adorable with their hair sticking up!

Key Fobs ordered for some special people in Florida! They will be shipping in the morning...

I just wonder; do you think the elves get tired by the end of December of creating all those sweet little gifts we love to find under our trees Christmas morning? I'm pretty tired and look forward to a little time off from sewing, now to just get the house in order!
