We love dollies...

Especially Project Grab Bag ones...

And thanks to Shannon, Brave now has her own!

Go visit Shannon's lovely store and all her adorable creations...

Today, we also had another lovely picnic in the front yard, as both my babycakies colored and played with their dolls. Okay, True played with Posy, while Brave gnawed at Hildy!

What?!!

The weekend is done already?!!

What a mess!

What a doll!

Teaching an almost 2 year old how to make a doll is a lot of fun!

Now we have a new member to add to our growing Dolly family...

We love color...

New shop...

Calls for a mid-day post...
Sheer Whimsy are the oh so lovely creations that are completely endearing and original by my dear friend Helen!

I am so happy to see her offer her completely original (so watch out for the copyright), enchanting lovely creations to house your ipod, cellphone, camera, EVEN a paci-pod!!!

They are all absolutely fantastic that I want them all! Now, I know Benny wouldn't be happy if I got them all... and plus I would deny the world of owning their own Sheer Whimsy creation and I wouldn't want that to happen!

So go and rush to her little deliciously beautiful shop... then have a peek at the behind the scenes and craftiness of the Sheer Whimsy creator and visit the Sheer Whimsy Blog...
Sheer Whimsy makes me feel absolutely giddy!

A few of my favorite things...

True's artwork and a perfect find of vintage dresses (with the original tags still on them) for my little girls...



And some enchanting old flour sacks for me...


I love old things!

I love...

New projects!

New adventures and exciting news...

Check out Sekund the new online magazine by editor and publisher Liz Sorensen of the famed Daily Stroll.

I love Daily Stroll and am sad to see it end, but am also very excited to see this new magazine. Liz is always ahead of the game and knows there is a greater need for those who are looking for some advice for the "second time around..."

And as I have popped out 2 in 2 years, I know this new e-zine was made just for me!

Sekund still features hip product reviews, but it also has some great articles.

I feel especially honored to be a contributor in this first issue, as you can check out the little "project" that I was working on...

Want to learn about "memory hunting" (or just see my lovely little girls) and other great things?!! Visit Sekund...

Goodies galore...

I love getting goodies in the mail!

Something for me from MushroomMeadows...

I must say that these things are absolutely perfect and I started using them with my Cakies. I hope I win the next contest!!!

Something for the girls from Ruby and Elkë...I love these cute little shoes. They look like the belong in a garden.

Along with the lovely shoes, some more treats from Luna Lou...
We love goodies...

Thank you so much everyone... you made our day!

Home Sew Sweet Home...

My mounds of fabric finally have a place to call home...

Where am I?

This is where my body has been parked these past few days...


I worked on a little project, which I had so much fun doing... and baked tons of Cakies!

Thanks to the fabulous Liz and her Daily Stroll!!!

But don't worry...

During the midst of buisiness, there was always time for fun with both my babycakies and our new toys.

My little goodies...
Can I just say, etsy is very addicting. Is their an etsy anonymous anywhere?!!

Meet True's new friend Posy from famed etsian ProjectGrabBag...

When Brave is old enough, she will get her very own.

And we had a lovely picnic in our front yard. Well, I really wanted to take them out of the house, but still had lots of work to do, so why not the front yard?!!

Happy weekend all!!!

Take a stroll...

Breathe in some fresh air, get the blood flowing and pick up a Cakies while you're at it!

Check out Daily Stroll's special feature on Cakies... oh what sweet fun!

I Won!

Yahoo-ey! Thanks to MushroomMeadows...

I love packages in the mail and I can't wait for my treat... I don't even know what it is!

Lovely...

A weekend full of pins and needles is always lovely.

Happy Monday everyone!!!

Who said Cakies was just for your hair?!!

Have I told you...

That I love, LOVE Anthropologie.

It is a bit over my budget, but sometimes I like to buy a few reasonable things...
I have had this vintage caddy forever, hoping to use it to put candles, but I could never find one thin and tall enough to fit each opening. So I thought, I could put some cute cups in it and make it a caddy for my work area, so off to Anthropologie I go. I knew I would find the perfect compliments for my old lovely...

And while I was there, I saw these cute, little, turquoise, pint sized containers displayed all throughout the store...

I fell in love with them so much I went back today (so bad that I live between TWO Anthropologies) to ask where I could purchase them or if they would sell a couple. And being the lovely store that they are, the visuals person happily gave me 10. I was so excited!

I am also on the verge of completing my order for them online, but I am unsure because I would be getting more than I need. They would be great for some crafts and gifts, do you think people would buy them if I put it on my etsy?!! Hmmm... I wonder. Anyone interested?

Good morning...

It is time to work.

Happy Thursday!!!

Who said you can't wear Cakies?!!

Because you can!


My sister does...


And so does my friend Helen...



My mom does too (yes, the woman on the left is my mother, not my sister!)...


Cakies now comes in MAMAsize Cakies!!! Grabs yours today. Visit my etsy!
Now, we have Eeny, Miney, & Moe. Okay, not really, but we have MamaCakies, regular Cakies, and Teeny Cakies!!!

Something for me...

Finally.
It is nice, pink and lovely...


And also reversible...

It has been awhile, but I have been wanting to make a bag for myself since I taught RJ how to sew and make a bag.

Now the task at hand... Owen's bag that she requested back in November. Don't worry O, I am going to work on it soon!!!

I sew love to sew!

Also, check out the Smarter Babies Blog and their little blurb on Cakies... cool!!!
