Summer is finally ending!

Well, after school was postponed AGAIN! I decided to just give into the crazy. My girls have been exceptionally looney as well, so it's been fun around our house, lol :)
I haven't gotten much work done recently, but have managed to eek out a couple of pumpkin hats and a precious little football earflap hat. I still have to finish the detail stitching on it and make the tassels, but pictures will be posted once I finish it.

     I am ecstatic about Monday! School is starting, the A/C in my car will be fixed (I've been driving my dad's, and I've been SO paranoid that me or the hubby will wreck it!), and I've OFFICIALLY banned myself from hosting another auction for at least a month! However, I am participating in a few auction being hosted by some wonderful vendors :)
I'll be sure to post about them once they start.
I can't wait! COME ON FALL!

For those of you who are fans of summer, I do not mean to bash, but here in Oklahoma it has been over 100 degrees for 2 months now, and I am DONE with heat, at least for a while :-)

Auction and giveaway next week!

     I promised myself I wouldn't host another auction for a while, but I just feel like there's no good reason not too. Who needs their sanity anyway, right? LOL :D
So I want to have a daily giveaway to draw in customers, and I'be scheduled it to start on Monday! I'm a glutton for punishment.  If you are a vendor or know one who wants to list some products send them my way >>

Only one more week

Well, it's only one more week until school starts, and for the first time ever...I CAN'T WAIT!! I love my kids, and spending time with them is awesome. However, we have pretty much had our fill of one another since the summer was extended a week due to construction on the new high school. My oldest is going into Kindergarten and my youngest will be staying home with mommy for one more year. It's amazing how much more work I can get done with just the  younger one here! She is much more calm, quiet, and cooperative when her sister is not here. I'm already working on stuff for the fall and winter, and I've got so many ideas and not enough time to do them!

I'm also SUPER excited about the prize I won from Photography by Teresa in the 1500 Fan Celebration at Girly Girl Boutique / Barrettes Unlimited!! Hopefully, I will soon have beautiful professional photographs of some of my designs! Thank you both for your generosity and hard work!

Summertime...

I'm in southern Oklahoma, where currently the temperature is around 110+, and has been everyday for 2 weeks. My house is moderately cool, around 80 degrees, but I still can't bring myself to pull out the yarn until after the sun sets! I think I need to switch modes to get any work done, so I'm going to try to stitch some jewelry today for the first time!!! We'll see how it turns out if I ever motivate myself to open the curtains, and let the sun in so I can take some decent pictures, lol! Wish me luck!
