winner, winner...

ok ladies (and my husband) i know you have been waiting all day to find out who won the hair clip, right?! 

we had a vomit filled night and morning. complete with fever and moaning.

sweet sara came down with something yuck as we were putting her down for bed. 

but she is doing MUCH better now. so much so, that she wore her princess slippers to bed. crazy girl.

so that's why i didn't post earlier. i'm sure you were worried, huh?! :)

moving on. 

the winner.

sweet linnae, you are the lucky winner! yay!

we knew she wasn't feeling well when she laid still enough to fall asleep on the couch. 

sweet girl.

birthday. 10 months. giveaway.

yesterday was my birthday. and my mom's. she is so kind to share her day with me. happy birthday mom.

i felt so celebrated.

my sweet friends from play group organized a little party with balloons and cupcakes. 

thanks girls! you made my morning. 

sweet ryan took care of every meal. that would have been a perfect celebration in itself. 

not planning meals=good day. 

but he also set up a babysitter in the afternoon (thanks stacy!) so he could take me shopping.

and then another babysitter (thanks amy and bob!) in the evening so we could go out to eat. perfect. 

shopping and eating. 

i felt loved!

also my sweet little man turned 10 months old.

he took his first step about three weeks ago. with more practice, he will be walking in no time. 

s.l.o.w. d.o.w.n. sweet boy!

so in honor of all the milestones... birthdays and steps. i'm going to have a little giveaway.

comment on this post by September 19th and you'll have a chance to win a little treat.

sara was able to take a break from decorating cookies to help me choose a winner from last week's giveaway...

notice the cookie crumbs?

our lucky winner....

robin!

we had quite the busy weekend...so please forgive my absence.  (i was able to let robin know the good news a bit early!)

it was my nephew's first birthday. he had the cutest sock monkey themed party. i was able to get a few moments to make him a first birthday bib.... i love the way it turned it.

 

look at what happens when sara has wilson over for a tea party.

ps- thanks for all of the sweet comments about the shop!

it's open and a giveaway

want one of these? 

go visit my shop

then come back and tell me what you think or what's your favorite item. 

your comment will put your name in the drawing for a new felt hydrangea hair clip.

the giveaway will end thursday (feb. 4th)

dallas friends... i'm not sure how to not charge some orders for shipping. so, if you want to order something without paying for shipping, email me your order and you can pick it up instead. email is on the right sidebar. hope to figure this one out soon.

the itch and a giveaway

i've had the sewing itch for the past couple of weeks now. but i couldn't scratch it (sounds wrong, i know) until my student teaching portfolio was complete... well, look at what i finished!

i worked on this the past week hoping to have it ready early so i could take a few days to sew and work on other things around the house before Thanksgiving. it was a long process but i am so glad i finished... so as soon as i finished, i began working on a couple things i had been wanting to make... here they are minus a birthday gift.

dino shirts for some little guys


and a girly Christmas outfit for Sara


in honor of finishing my portfolio and Thanksgiving, i thought i would have a little giveaway. i've never had one here but have always wanted to... so here it goes, post a comment by Friday and then i will randomly choose the winner and send you this little goody!

hope you enjoy your monday!
