In Bloom

So a few days ago a lady I work with brought these 2 "cacti" into the office. One was about to bloom and it only blooms for 1 day. Since we have big windows in the front she left them here to get some nice full light & she didn't want to miss the flower.

Here is what we found this morning.

How neat is that?!

~Holding my Breath~

I am crossing my fingers for NO RAIN this Saturday morning. We still have the lovely Downtown Appleton Market going on (last weekend is Halloween).

It is really hard for me to go if it is raining. All my things could get wet & all of my tags could get wrecked.

The cold isn't fun, but I can layer my sweaters!

So there is a 40% chance of rain for Saturday - wish me luck!

That Kelly

So I have to give a big THANK YOU to Kelly of http://www.ohshootphotography.weebly.com/

She recently purchased a pendant with her children's names & birthstone colors on it. She then sent an email about it to about 50 of her closest friends :) I have been getting emails daily about them as a direct result.

So here is a photo of her pendant and again - thanks Kelly!!

New Project - Giraffe Baby Toy

Here is a new project that I am loving. A little giraffe plush toy for babies. They are made of cotton, and fiber-fill so they are chewable for you little ones & then washable. They also have little ribbon ears and mane to keep little fingers busy.

They will be at The Aurora Medical Center Gift Shop in Oshkosh and at the Appleton Markets (Saturdays from 8-12:30).

The Ride Home

After a day of fun-in-the-sun the girlies were pretty tuckered out for the ride home......

We do just love the bike trailer! It is such a nice way for mom & dad to get a little exercise & the girls to get fresh air.

Work Space 1.0

So here is my cute little table-top ironing board that I finally broke down & bought the other day - a $7 deal at Jo-Anns! Before I am sad to say I had no good ironing board....we had an over the door kind that only fit on our bathroom door & could only be used with the door closed & I have never owned a big board & with the kiddos running around I didn't feel comfortable having it out.

So I found this one on sale at Jo-Anns, it fits on my counter & my sewing area & what cute fabric! It also comes with a little hook that & it fits on my fabric rack.

Have a great day!
