Bits and Pieces
Mail:
I've been anxiously waiting for the arrival of three prints from The Black Apple. I ordered them during her three for two sale and was so thrilled that I would finally be able to purchase all three of my favorite prints. They arrived today and I can't wait to have them framed and up on the wall.
Made:
More pants for the babe. Corduroy is really my favorite material for clothing. I love it and actually dreamt of wearing it during the hot summer months. These navy blue pants have a cute linen pocket on each leg with some trim for fun. It's getting harder and harder to take pictures of her because she's always on the go. This picture? Well, I think she was doing some yoga on her "yoga ball" and I really have no explanation for how my new shoes keep ending up in front of the camera. And for those readers out there who were wondering, they are Simple's Green Toe shoes found here.
In Progress:
I have grand plans for additions to the shop. I've had these plans for a while, but haven't really taken the plunge to start them. Here is the first tiny bit of progress.
The Shop:
And there are 4 clutches up in the shop. I'll be making more in the future, but there's no telling when. They were fun to make and I have been using one for months and find it is just perfect for a checkbook, some cash and cards. So slim, it slides right into my bag.
yay!I ordered prints form the black apple as well!! i ordered 2 for my house, and one as a gift... and now i want MORE!! =)

Oooo, thanks for sharing the link to those shoes! I love Simple shoes, so comfy!
I must say, as well, I am LOVING reading your blog these days. After all those posts are being worn out and frustrated and at the end of your rope, now it's so beautiful to be reading about all the joy in your life. I can't believe how much you are able to accomplish every day. It wears me out just reading it.
You've come so far, mama! *hug*

mamamilkers-Thanks so much :) You're comments mean so much. Yes, we have been through so much and I am so thankful that things have turned around. I know my posts are always upbeat, but there are still struggles...but struggles are what every parent deals with!
I heard you were on the search for a "banner" for your blog. I'd love to help. E-mail me and we'll see what we can do :)

Getting things in the mail is always such a treat. Unless of course, it's bills to be paid.
I love these little pants. I love corduroy. Hands down one of my top five favorite fabrics.

Speaking of mail, I received the the baby sling I won from you. My sister in law is going to love it! Thanks again.
