Mingle Monday - 10.15.2012

Hey there! Sorry for skipping out on the hop last week... but I'm back today!! 

I am super busy trying to get ready for a boutique at the Disneyland hotel in a month! Yikes!!! If anyone is here in sunny So Cal or will be the weekend of Nov 10th, I would love to meet you at the boutique! It is sponsored by a Women's conference, but the boutique is open to everyone! There are TONS of handmade goodies there ... perfect for doing a little holiday shopping! 

PLUS, if you stop by and see me you can pick up a FREE SHIPPING coupon code for my Etsy shop! 

In the meantime, I will be working to stock my shop, get products ready for my boutique, and trying to keep up on my blog posting! So... bear with me!

•  •  •  •  •  •  •

I am starting an additional link party on Friday's for everyone to link one of their favorite posts from the week to. It will be called Friday Fun! You can link directly to any one of your personal posts. It can be crafting, sewing, cooking, decorating, just about anything goes! 

Make sure you come back Friday to link up!!

It's that time again! I hope everyone had a great week! We took the kids to the beach yesterday and I came home fried! BUT, I learned a trick about getting sand off.... rub baby powder on the sandy area (usually your feet) and the sand comes right off! AMAZING!!



Thanks to anyone who continues to come back week after week, and a big WELCOME to any new hoppers!! 

 Feel free to visit as many blogs on the hop as you want, and make sure to tell them you are stopping by from Mingle Monday.

Mingle Monday - 8.27.2012

Hi there! I know you thought it wasn't going to post this week... and hopefully there are still a couple of you hanging around who still want to link up! 

My computer has been on the fritz lately... it may be about time for a new one. (If only!)

But since I have a spare minute -- as I listen to my newborn fight her nap -- I am trying to get this blog hop up and running!

Mingle Monday - 6.25.2012

Hey there! I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! I picked out some fabrics yesterday for a car seat canopy. I'm hoping to start working on it tomorrow so I can get the tutorial posted this week... as well as another baby blanket tutorial. 

As long as this little one doesn't decide to come early, I have LOTS more ideas for tutorials coming up as part of my continuing Nesting Series. If you have any suggestions, be sure to leave me a comment. Make sure you check out the Nesting Series tab at the top of my page to see all the fun tutes that are already posted!

I'm putting together teacher appreciation gifts this week {ya, I know... it may seem a little late for that -- but my LO goes to a year round preschool, and this is her last week, so I'm just doing it now} and it will include a free printable that you can pin now and save until next year if you want!

Mingle Monday - 6.4.2012


Ugh, it's been a busy week... sorry for my lack of posting... ok, for not posting at all! 
Monday was a holiday -- and my anniversary -- and Friday was my birthday. In between that I have been dealing with swollen feet, 85-90º weather {not bad unless you are a billion months pregnant -- like I feel}, and getting over a 3 week long cold that still hasn't entirely gone away.

I'm tired, I'm uncomfortable, and my darling hubby doesn't want to turn on the A/C... I'm a little moody... can you tell!?! 

I finally dragged myself off the couch and to my computer to have a chocolate re-energizing boost while I write this post before having to go make dinner. 

I know I will snap out of this funk... at least in the next 6 weeks. In fact, now when people ask me when me due date is, I don't even answer them with a date anymore ... instead I simple tell them the number of weeks I have left... hoping that will help to cheer my up a little! ☺ Sometimes it works. Anyone who has been pregnant -- especially in the summer months -- I'm sure can totally relate! 

I have a great tutorial for this week on how to create your own large photo canvas for less then $10!! I have to edit my pictures and get everything written and it will post this week! 

Here's a sneak preview:

Mingle Monday - 5.14.2012

I hope everyone had a great weekend and a FANTASTIC Mother's Day!!

I didn't have to make dinner last night, AND my kids cleaned up their bedrooms. That was enough of a gift for me! I got to take a nap and sit and put my feet up for a while!

If you haven't had a chance to check out some of the changed around here, be sure to take a look around!
I added a drop down menu bar to make finding what you are looking for MUCH EASIER. I included an entire tab dedicated to my Nesting Series. Each new post will be added to the drop down list.

Now, let's mingle!!

Mingle Monday - 5.6.2012

Sorry for the late post. My little guy is super sick. We spent the morning at Urgent Care and now that he has some antibiotics he is finally able to sleep. The poor guy has a double ear infection and bronchitis. Needless to say, things around here have been a little cuh-razy!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Did you notice the fun change here on the blog?!! In an effort to "spring clean" and make things easier to find around here, I added a colorful drop down menu in place of my tabs! Take a look around and let me know what you think! ☺

But, it's up now! I hope you had a great weekend! I am looking forward to some sewing and some cleaning this week.

Mingle Monday - 4.30.2012 - PLUS a quick poll...

Now that I'm less than 11 weeks away, I am totally feeling that time crunch to get prepared for baby #3. I know, I know... you can never really be prepared for a baby ... and you would think I would learn that by know. BUT, it's still fun to make lots of fun new baby things. 

Baby things are just sooo cute, aren't they!?! And possibly even more fun to make!!





If you aren't expecting, you can file these tutorials away for when you are, or for making your own gifts to give away to your friends!!

♥   ♥   ♥   ♥   ♥

As I start making my own stash of baby "stuff" I want to know what you are interested in learning how to make yourself .. that way I can put together tutorials for you guys based on what you want to learn! 

So, to make it easy, I created a quick little poll. Just vote for the thing that you want to learn most. Then I will take the top couple of them and those will be the ones I focus on creating really great tutorials for! 

If you are just dying to learn how to make something but don't see it on the list, vote for your second choice, and leave me a comment with the specific baby "thing" you are yearning to learn! 

What tutorial would you MOST like to see in my "Nesting Series" as I get ready for baby #3?

Then once you're done voting, make sure you link your blog to Mingle Monday! Can you believe it's that time again!?! These weeks seem like a big blur to me because they are going by so fast!!

Mingle Monday - 4.22.2012

Did you check out the first post in my "Nesting Series"?? With just about 12 weeks left until my due date, I am really feeling the time crunch to get my nursery and other fun baby sewing/crafting projects done! Not to mention cleaning the house and trying to baby-proof again! 

Make sure you check out the fun things in store in this tutorial/advice series! If there is something in particular you are interested in learning to sew/create for your little one{s} leave me a comment. I'm sure it's something that I need to do too!!

Have a great week!! I am hoping to get a couple tutorials up this week. 

Plus a date with my sewing machine to complete a custom blanket order and to create some new fun blankets using my new stash of minky that I picked up this weekend.


I love the bright colors! Plus... there is a bolt of light pink minky with small stars on it that I'm going to use to re-upholster my gliding chair for the girls' room in anticipation of the new little one arriving in July! 

Are you doing anything fun for your Spring Break!?! 

Mingle Monday - 3.19.2012

Sorry for the late start... with a birthday party this weekend at our house in the pouring rain, there was a lot of clean up going on!! Not to mention being exhausted from it all!

But, hopefully you aren't too busy enjoying your Spring Break {for those of you doing something fun!!} to link up this week!
