Birthday G I V E A W A Y
***PLEASE don't forget to leave a comment here on this post so you can be entered! Just tell me which things you completed from the list below so I know how many entries you get :) ***
Yep, I have decided to give YOU a gift for my birthday!!! How awesome you say? Yes, it is!!!
This is my newest design! Doves are a symbol of peace and love, and these are things I wish for all of you in this new year! I drew this dove by hand and appliqued it to a roomy, and sturdy corduroy bag. This bag is about 17" wide, 14" high, and the strap can be any length you wish. I make the strap wide for comfort on your shoulder. Inside are 3 slip pockets to hold your cell phone, keys, lip balm, pens, whatever! There is a layer of canvas sandwiched between the outside and lining for strength without too much stiffness. It closes with a magnetic snap.
One L U C K Y reader will win a Peace Dove bag of their very own ($52 retail value!!!)!!! YAY!!!!!!
Leave me a comment here for each item you do and a winner will be randomly selected on Friday January 15th, 2010 which is my birthday :)
I will email you if you have won and you will be able to choose the color of your bag, and the dove's colors also!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

P.S. the giveaway ends on Friday, January 15th 2010.
Sewing away for SPRING!!
I am so ready for warm weather!! It always hits me in January. I want sunshine, and warm breezes. I miss taking the baby for afternoon walks! And morning jogs :)
Well, I can't make the seasons change any faster, but I have decided that I can start working on my spring line, and so I have! I have these gorgeous new corduroy purses, some twirl-y patchwork skirts in the making, and LOADS of fun ideas waiting to be made!! I am very excited, and I have
a couple of photos to curb your curiosity a bit ;)
I will post more photos as I get more done, but for now this is my new Peace Dove Corduroy Hobo, and my mama patchwork twirl skirt (it's just a peek really because it isn't quite finished!)
Keep checking in! I may just decide to give away a beautiful Peace bag to a LUCKY reader!!

Happy 2010!
Wow, I cannot believe how fast 2009 went. It is crazy how fast time goes by these days! I am very excited for this new year! I have lots of great ideas for my shop(s) and SOOOO many things that I want to make. I am gearing up for the spring already, trying to jump ahead for once.
Today is my husband's and my 9th anniversary! It was very low key. We celebrated at home. I made steak and dill potatoes with a nice salad. It only cost us around $16 and we fed 6 people! If we would have gone out that bill would have been well over $100! SO for this new year, we are trying to not spend money whenever we can. Very hard for me to do since I am kind of a shop-a-holic. But I am very determined to not shop unless it is something we absolutely need. Actually, that is one of my New Year's resolutions. I have a small list of resolutions, and I am going to try very hard to keep them :)
So we didn't get to got to the New Year's Eve party because the baby was sick. We just stayed home and watched re runs of The Office. I would have been in bed at 10pm but the older kids went to a friends. Had to wait up until midnight. I was so tired, LOL. We got to watch the ball drop. Always fun. I liked it better when we lived in California. The ball dropped at 9pm, then the kids could go to bed because it was the new year! Of course they were much younger then. I don't think they would fall for that now!
I hope you had a great New Year's, and I wish you happiness and blessings. Please check in from time to time! I am going to be trying to keep posting more often :)

Merry Christmas!
Oh my gosh, Christmas morning was SO fun!! I will never, ever forget the wonder and surprise on the kids' faces as they see the presents under the tree. Lorelai looked at the tree, looked at me and said " now that's what I call Christmas!" So funny. She cracks me up! Connor does this funny surprised gasp whenever he gets excited and he kept doing that while he ran to grab at all of the presents. Santa left a few of Connor's gifts unwrapped so he of course enjoyed that!
They were so cute playing and enjoying their gifts. We talked about the reason for the holiday, and we made family breakfast. This year it was sausage and gravy over biscuits with scrambled eggs. YUM! I lived on that stuff when I was pregnant with Connor. Nothing else seemed even remotely appetizing. It is strange what morning sickness does to you. We said a special grace and wished Jesus a happy birthday. Even Connor chimed in with his "Amen".
To make our day even better we went to our cousin's house in Virginia to celebrate and have dinner with them. They made a yummy lasagna. The kids played Wii for most of the day. They have a Wii Fit and one of the activities in there is hula hooping. Connor was trying to mimic everyone doing that and it was SO cute and funny!! He loves to do what everyone else does. It is hard to believe he is 21 months!!
I hope everyone else had a wonderful holiday, whatever holiday you celebrate. And I hope you got to spend some time with family or friends, or both!
Now we are looking forward to a New Years Eve party that we are all invited too! I will let you know how it goes :)

Beautiful Snow!
How exciting to wake up to this gorgeous view this morning! And it is still coming down! Can you see the excitement on their faces? Connor and Lorelai were so mesmerized, they just couldn't stop staring out the window! Hopefully it will stop snowing enough so that we can go out and play later. Connor has never played in the snow before, so that will be interesting. The Weather Channel says we are having a blizzard. How lucky for us that it is the weekend! Yeah, the kids are not as happy about that, lol. We are supposed to keep getting snow until this evening! How cool if it snowed like this for Christmas! I can't wait to get out there and build some snowmen with the kids.
