happy things.

We took a wild animal out to eat and lived to tell about it.


Little Miss Sunshine is helping me figure out my new camera.


Stair gates may be in her future.
ER visits are not.


For the first time EVER!!! the little Valentines treats are packaged and ready to go.
Two days early.  Not at 2am the night before.

Bethany from Love, September is having a Haiti fundraiser where all proceeds from her pattern sales go to Haiti relief.
I have made a bunch of these a.dor.a.ble Cinch Skirts for birthday gifts and I am smitten.
In the time that it would take to pack up the kids, drive to Target, pick out cluttery plastic gift, thrown in the 10 other things that you didn't know you needed while you are there and come home, you could have made an easy, unique, and heartfelt handmade outfit.
For less money.
Plus, you are helping Haiti.
Her patterns are fabulous and so well written and illustrated and I promise you that you will fall in love with what you can create from them.

Plus it is raining today.
I am one happy, coffee drinking girl.

thanks Julie! I was wondering why all of a sudden the patterns started to sell so fast :) I'm so excited to be donating more money to Haiti-everytime I watch the news, I wish I could do more.

What kind of camera did you get? I'm still trying to figure my new camera out. Let's just say that I won't be taking anyone else's pictures anytime soon....
