It's hot!!! Summer is soooo not my favoritve season.  Give me fall football weather any day!! I am really looking forward to fall.  My brain goes to bed at night thinking about cute little clothes for fall portraits,  Halloween costumes,  pecan pie, etc.... the list goes on and on.  But here we are smack dab in the middle of one hot, dry summer!  Hallelujah thank the Lord for air conditioning and cold sweet ice tea!  I think we might have some new comers to the blog today, so let me just give you a quick synopsis of me:  I have horrible spelling and and am apparently not that good at using spell check, so just adjust your brain and deal with it :),  I have 3 small children so if it seems like I left a thought hanging, well I probably had to go save someone hanging from the rafters!!,  I have every intention of sharing more crafty blogs as soon as I have more time in my life (bahahaha) to take pictures and give clear detailed instructions, until then I'll show you what I did, throw out some random applicable advice and well.... good luck! 
Lately, I've been painting a lot of furniture (my poor husband doesn't understand why we can't leave things the way they are!) and sewing like crazy!  I'm so thankful for all my local customers who keep me busy. I really really want to work on some projects for tweens.  If some of you moms have tween and want to send some clothing ideas my way I'd appreciate it.  Do they wear the ruffle pants?  Do they want applique tshirts?  I'm firmly in toddler land and not sure whats "in" with the older set. So give me some feedback please!
I also updated the work order list.  If you have a pending order, you should be on there along with the date I plan to deliver your project by.  I'm waiting on a really slow backorder of a couple of fabrics that is holding up two projects but fabric should be in early next week and in plenty of time to get bags where they need to go! Be sure to check the list if you have already placed an order and let me know if you don't see something that should be on the list!!
 I'm still on a bedding kick. (be sure to check out the new page with all the bedding details and bear with me its a new adventure).  But it is firmly square dance season around here! I have two that are dancing this year and can not wait!! Love it. 
I'm also crazy busy trying to keep my crew entertained and loved this summer.  Its really hard to balance working from home and being a full time mom.  Some days I do good,  other days they would probably tell you I stink at it!!  My 8 year old loves a good science project or any kind of project so I thought I'd share this one with you today.  Its a pinterest find and it was so super simple!! Check it out and try it.  It was a hit around here!  Stay cool today and be sure to say hi and let me know you checked out the blog!
