The last month

This last month has been a loooong one.  I was not feeling very well for a few weeks of it and with that I want to thank all my patient Etsy customers.  I had so many return customers and it seriously made me smile ear to ear.  THANK YOU!  For those of you that would like a digital holiday card you still have a few days to order.  If you do happen to miss sending out Christmas cards just remember that any of my cards can be converted to New Year cards.

I managed to squeeze in a craft that I'd been eyeing up all over the place.  It's a little time consuming but, SO worth it.  I love it!

I hope you all found some down time to enjoy something that you love during this crazy time of year.  We deserve it!

Taking it easy

Sorry for the lack of blog posts lately.  I've been experiencing back pain and I finally went in to the doctor to see what's up.  They are thinking that something is pinching my sciatic nerve.  I had issues with that a bit when I was pregnant with both kids but, nothing that was this painful.  So far I'm to ice my back, take anti-inflamatory pills and muscle relaxers.  It's only been 1-1/2 days on that regimen so we'll see how this goes. So with all of this I've been cutting my time back from sitting on the computer.

I'm sure many of you know of the clothing store Ruche and I just saw on their blog that they have a homemade holiday guide look book that is full of fun things to make.  If you have you should glance at it - really pretty things to make for the upcoming holidays.

Also, thank you for all the kind words that I've been receiving on the LEGO party I did for my son's 6th birthday party.  It really is so nice to hear.

Keeping it local

I love it when I stumble upon other Wisconsinite artists/crafters like this etsy shop: Jack and Ella.  I love the simplicity of her designs!

Happy Halloween

Simple

I really need to step up on my Fall decor.  I have a few things floating around the house but, not enough in my book.  There are so many simple and easy things to pull together for a lovely fall look.  What do you display around your home for fall?    

1:: front entry decor, 2 :: monogram and stencil pumkins, 3 :: filled candle holders, 4 :: owl decorations, 5 ::  diy pumpkin tea light holders

A photo from our little mini photo shoot.  I'll never get bored with these two.

Okay I'm a little late wishing you that but, today we are having beautiful Indian summer type weather.  A high of 76.  Love it!
