Score!!!



Look what I just found in my inbox!!!!Thanks to a very talented friend named AMBER, I now have this awesome desk top calender! Isn't it adorable!!!Thanks Amber! I love love love it!!!!

So I survived my first tent sale today! Just barely! I have never seen so many woman going crazy over stockings and ripped up linens! Down East had a tent sale and that means all the crazies in the Valley came with their games faces on!!!I too was prepared to throw an elbow or hold on a little tighter then socially accepted just to snag an item I had my eye on! I wasn't afraid to hold my own and to be honest it took all I had not to leap inside a huge box trying to reach a baby onsie! At one point I took my keys out, and started breaking down the box so I could get to the good stuff!!! Madness I tell ya!!!

The funny part is I have no idea what I actually bought!!! It was fill a bag so you just started throwing things in and hopefully when you get home your "WOW that was so worth it" pile is bigger then your "What the crap was I grabbing" pile!

Have you ever seen those news clips of crazy woman waiting at the door of a bridal shop in a mob and then being let lose to ravage the contents of a sale? That's basically the idea!




Don't worry... No child was harmed in the making of this journey to the TENT sale!!! My neighbor was kind enough to protect the children from the evils of women and baby sat for me!!!Thank goodness! Car seats were covered and I wasn't worried about kids wondering the parking lot or being covered in tossed and discarded bedding!

So I have a lot of sorting ahead of me! Now don't any of you go and report me to OPRAH as a hoarder! I buy all this stuff to resale on eBay! It's my part time job I needed to support my Sonic habit and addiction to expensive fabric!

A Little Vaca!!!

Ahhh yes!! Nothing like having a hubby gone and letting your house go to pot! With Mike in Provo all week I am taking full advantage of the situation and loving it! Cereal for dinner anyone!?

The girls are hankering down with me each night in my big bed so nights aren't too bad! I sew, do my ebay thing and sew some more! I love not putting my sewing machine away each night or doing my mad dash to clean the house at 5:15 each day! Theses are the days!

And talk about a great day yesterday!!After play group I barely made it to Subway with out eating my left arm, I was so hungry! I love the $5 foot long!!! I'm a veggie girl but when I see a veggie sub for the same price as a meat sub I start evaluating the value!!! So lately I've been indulging in a BLT!!! You're lying if you can say you don't love Bacon!!!

THEN!!!! I called my fav fabric store and got the news I've been waiting for all summer! HEATHER BAILY fabric was in!!!!!! POP Garden is her new collection and it's breathtaking! Better then SEX I tell ya!!! I'm a little more obsessed with Fabric then the next gal but I just love it! It's way pricey but oh so yummy! I made an adorable childrens apron with it last night! Sadly I can't buy it as often as I'd like...I spent $30 on 2 cuts! Ouch!!!!!



Here's the fabric in action!! I have enough to make one more adult sized apron with the Pop Garden fab(Flower fab) So if any of you want to claim it it will go to the first one to let me know! Other wise I'll just sew it and sell it on my blog and etsy shop!!!

I'm working hard all week to get enough inventory to launch my etsy shop! I'm not having much luck selling my baby cloths on ebay! I think it needs a site like etsy! My goal is to have 10 aprons and 15 baby outfits by Friday!

So I'm busy busy busy! I can only be this productive when I leave my responsibilities on the back burner!Don't worry!My kids both still got a bath last night and breakfast this morning! I do most of my work at night!

So I will warn you... If you come to my house this week I won't let you in...it's a wreck!

I love a good vacation!

One Memory!!!

Something fun to do!!!!!! Thanks Steph!

1. Leave one memory that you and I had together, as a comment on my blog. Anything goes.


2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll check to see if you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.
