Happies

Are you in need of any gift ideas?  How about a 12" wine cork wreath or a one of a kind coffee sack pillow?  If these things interest you, I am your girl!  Let me know if you have a particular idea of what you want and I will get busy making it for you.  Give a happy to someone or get one for yourself!

Well, I Never!

As I sit hear eating a pack of Girl Scout cookies with fat milk (that's right, not skim), I would like to justify my behavior.  Taking care of kids is the most thankless job on the planet!

My dear, sweet children were playing all afternoon on the most lovely of days.  They had their extra curricular activities in the morning (track and horseback riding).  They jumped on the trampoline with a cool breeze brushing through their hair.  They had a few neighborhood kids visit, washed the cars, played in the sprinkler, played house, were catered to, and not a care in the world!  Did they get all they wanted today? I should think so.  They even asked if a neighbor could sleepover.  "Of course", I said, "that would be great".  At 9:00 p.m., after they had been playing ALL DAY, it was time, bed time!  My precious and appreciative 10 year old got her tude on.  "Mom, I am a little mad at you".  To Hell you say!  Are you freaking kidding me?  You are one bold chick to think that I give a rat's patootie that you are mad at me.  I mean - really!

So, if I want to sit and consume loads of calories from this freaking box of cookies that we got stuck with from the Girl Scout cookie sale, then I will!  Dad-gum-it.  My ass will just have to get on the treadmill.  Tomorrow, I will do that tomorrow.

Have Your Cake and Eat It!

Can you believe how freaking adorable this cake is?  Even more amazing is how much it cost.  I found a wonderful cake lady about 5 years ago who enjoys making these beauties and charges mere pennies for her art work.  I just had to share! 

BTW - my oldest 'baby' is officially in double digits.  How is this possible?  I am still in my twenties (at heart).

Bid-ness!

In an effort to share the coffee bag/burlap goodness that I have stumbled upon, I am starting to sew lots of pillows and such. They are made from raw burlap coffee sacks, with the original printing on them. They are truly all one of a kind!

A friend of mine, Stacy, and I will be selling these beauties in craft shows and on Etsy.com. Please take a look and let us know what you think. Also, we do not have a name yet. If you suggest a name and we like it enough to use - you will get a complimentary pillow!!!!
