Medicine Cabinet Makeover

I was recently inspired to do some organizing in my medicine cabinet.  I'm almost ashamed to show you my BEFORE shot.  What a mess!  Although we did know where most things were.  I'm not sure how.

Sew Busy

Hey Ya'll!  This past week has been a whirlwind.  I've been trying to get some things made so I could open my Etsy.com store.  I finally have a few things in there.  Take a look.  Over on the right side of this blog are some links you can also click.  Feel free to click "share" or "like" and post them to your Facebook if you want to help me show them off.  There's a gazillion sellers on etsy and I think it is easy to get shuffled way back to page 1,000,000.  I'm being dramatic, but you get the picture. 
















Pictured above is a piece of furniture that my good friend, BJ, gave me for my sewing room. Dennis and I covered the top with batting and cloth so that I could use it for an ironing table.  And look at all that storage that I will be able to store fabric in.  It's fabulous!  It's a great addition to my sewing room.  Thanks BJ!!


Tonight I was busy making Ethan some burp cloths.  I will have to mail them to him since it will be a while before I get to see him.  I hate that!  


Ethan is so sweet.  One of my good friends (Jane) asked me while I was on vacation, "Don't you wish you could bottle his smell and bring it back".  Omgness YES!!!  So how is it that you can instantly fall in love with someone that you just met?  Let alone a baby?  He can't even love me back yet.  But can he?  I think so...it was love at first sight.  The Bible is full of great verses about the topic of love.  God's love for us is a perfect example.  
1 John 4:7  Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves have been born of God and knows God.
Ethan has filled my heart with joy unspeakable!  Thank you God for this precious gift.

Sewing Like Mad

Hey Everybody!  I've been sewing like a mad woman today...and loving every minute of it.  I've been working on the cutest owl Christmas ornaments.  I will have 2 sets completed by tomorrow.  I will be putting them on Etsy.com.  Heather thinks they look good enough to be in the ornament section at Hobby Lobby!  Wow!  That's a great compliment.  They are time consuming little guys, but they are so cute and fun to make.  I can't wait for you to see them.  I know...the anticipation is killing you right?!?  I've got to find a Christmas tree to hang them on so that I can take some pictures of them.  I don't want to drag down our 6' tree from the attic.  Hopefully I will be able to find a little tree somewhere.  Target only had Halloween stuff out.  I will look at Walmart later.  I know, this is a lot of trouble for some ornaments, right!  If I'm going to sell them, presentation means a lot!  I'm going to call it a day ya'll.  Thanks for reading!
