Another fun blog..Bless Our Nest

I saw this idea on Bless our Nest who saw it on Frills Fluff and Trucks who saw it on My Romantic home! This is such a cute idea, I have to hit the thrift stores. It takes three pieces, candlestick, glass plate, and cheese dome, just stack them up and glue the candlestick on the glass plate. These are great for a party, you can make them in all different shapes and sizes and fill them with so many different things, fresh cupcakes, mini pumpkins, cookies... They would make very inexpensive and lovely christmas gifts for friends, just put some home baked goodies inside!
So go check out Bless our nest for Christian inspiration and some nice home
decorating ideas.

projectdomesticbliss

Why do we follow certain blogs, I find my self attracted to blogs that inspire me and that talk about homelife and recipies and nature. I found a really inspirational one the other night, Project Domestic Bliss, written by Nikki, a young mom. I am so inspired by her. It's a take on the perfect "50's" style mom, very cute. Sometimes, I think, I am waiting for my life to be perfect and be making enough money to be living a life. OOPS! Something wrong there! So thanks, Nikki, for helping me to get up Saturday moring and make pancakes and pumpkin pie and celebrate life with my daughter and knowing that life is now and that there is no waiting around. I heard a great quote this mornig, "If you want to be happy, don't want what you don't have, Want what you have. I want my beautiful daughter, I want the opportunity to start my business again, I want to meet lots of new frinds in cyberspace, I want to be an artist, I want my 5th floor walkup apt in NYC, I want to enjoy the fall and have my apt filled with scents of baked pies and cinnamon and sonds of laughter and friendships. Looking forward to keeping in touch! What kind of things do you want!

The famous Craigs list Nanny ad!

Who would think!! A good friend of mine, Rebecca has become famous over night from an ad she placed on Craigs list. The news of this ad was all over the neighborhood in a day. Unfortunately SOME people weren't saying such nice things about her. I've posted this in a few places but just want to say it here. I will keep it short and sweet. Rebecca is a great person, a great friend, from what I can tell a great wife and above all a totally involved, loving, caring, fun, fabulous, smart, generous and very functional mother. So There!!

I've decided to go back to my old basics. These cotton lycra tees were such a staple every year on my line. They come in every color under the sun, wash really well and are so comfortable. I am also making leggings, ruffle bootlegs, lots of skirts and hooded tops. I love it that leggings are back in style, it's such a great look with long tees and lots of layers! We shall see!



Some really fun photos of my Autumn Gypsy Fall '08 line!

More pics..

I am starting to really like this camera and this is a new dress I made for my dd to wear to a party today, finally, I can dress her again! The last time she wore anything I made she was 7!

Thanks Gina!

Patience

A virtue I admire in OTHERS!




A few more pictures that still need some work. I am not a patient person. I looked at these photos and yuk--the sleeves--all wrong--need to do some work on that pattern and the photos, well, I know I don't have a great camera with a great lens but I can do better and I will. Children's photography is very hard, the child, the clothes, the camera, the background, the sun...what's a not so patient girl to do?!





And my friend just emailed me over these....thanks Sylvia!

Still learning...

Cornucopia

Cornacopia, a charity I am starting to give support to single moms in NYC or anywhere really. The support will be emotional, spiritual, legal and financial. The money will be given in the form of a grant. There will basically be no questions asked. It will go thru a lawyer that helped me. It's kind of a last hope when your out of hope. Sometimes people get into a position where they just need help. It doesn't really matter how they got there, the point is they are there. 5% of my business will go twards these grants. I still have a lot of details to work out. If you have any ideas please leave a comment or shoot me an email.
