Rain Rain go away!

It has been raining for 3 weeks now. We get a hour and there of sun, but that is it.

I need sun and to be able to go outside and to play on the swings with the girls.

Anyone have any ideas for fun things to do inside with the little lones please let me know. I have done everything I can think of and we all are going crazy now. Help! :)

Rain rain go away and do not come back another day!

I am going in a SHOP!!!

I am so excited! This week Kindred Handmade asked if I would be interested in having my items in there craft shop in Manie. Well after reading the policies I said I would love to.

This is the first time my items have been in an actual shop!!!! I am going to send my felt Food Collection to them to add to the shop. The shop is called Kindred Handmade in Damariscotta, Maine.

They also have a website my items will be on soon too. Be sure to check it out. I will let you know when my items are on the site and in the store.

I have a lot of checking inventory and sewing to do. I am so eager to have my felt food in an actual shop!!! I plan on mailing half the items to there shop on Friday!

Cupcakes Cupcakes

I have just come to realize that cupcakes are very in right now! Every party I go to instead of cake there are cute little cupcakes.

My husband and I recently went to a friends wedding and instead of a traditional wedding cake there were the beautifully decorated cupcake tower!

(I wish I could find the picture)

Then just this weekend my daughter was invited to a birthday party and you guessed it more cupcakes. The cute thing here was each cupcake had a candle and all the kids got to blow out there own candle, not just the birthday boy! What kids does not like blowing out candles?

There are so many things now to make these cupcakes so festive too. Like the cupcake tower I just bought that hold 24 cupcakes. Also all the great cupcake toppers. Like these from my Etsy Friend Traci at T and Little S Designs www.tscrapper.etsy.com

Two Years old!

I can't believe it my youngest will be 2 on Saturday! I can't believe she has grown so much. She is climbing up everything. She is my little tornado. If there is a mess she made it. She has such a great smile and so do darn cute it is so hard to be mad at her.

For her birthday I am going to attempt to make a birthday shirt. I tried this with my oldest daughters birthday a few months ago and it just did not come out the way I wish it had. So after looking at tons of number birthday shirts I think I may know where I went wrong now. So here is hoping I figured it out.

Here is my oldest not so great shirt I made.

I embroidered "I AM 5" on it, but it is way too small to see.

Change Up!

Well I have decided to change up my blog a little. I will not only be talking about my felt food items from my shops, but tons of other things too. Such as money saving tips giveaways, raising 2 girls, My felt food, my Avon, and so much more.

Basically whatever come to my mind!

I noticed I am more attracted to the blogs that have stories and helpful tips and I want my blog to be that way too and personal.

I hope you all enjoy my new format.
