Storm Damage

A crazy storm blew through this past Thursday. I haven't seen winds that strong in many years. Unfortunately we have a large willow tree in our backyard that doesn't stand up to high winds. And so we had a mess that took all day Friday to clean up...well...really just relocate to our driveway until the chipper comes later this week.The neighbors also had some damage but thankfully no one was hurt.

Nature Center Outing

Yesterday we met some friends at the Nature Center for a little free outing for the kids. The City of Sterling Heights has a very nice facility with hands-on learning activities and a small theatre. They have all the things that mommies love like snakes...that tickle...samples of animal scat...that you can get up close and personal with when you use one of their magnifying glasses.The kids had a great time especially when we let them play in the rain in the park and woods behind the Center. They were a mess but it was worth it! I'll gladly leave the snakes and poo samples at the Nature Center. I have my own animal to bring home and tame...

Gilly and Doug Got Married!

Well we made it! Made it through hosting the bachelorette party, an art show for Excess Baggage, wedding rehearsal with our ring bearer and flower girl, got them down the aisle on the big day and didn't destroy anything at the reception. I'm declaring it all a success! Congratulations to Doug and Gillian! It was a beautiful day!

Berkley Art Bash

This Saturday will be our fifth year participating in the Berkley Art Bash. I always look forward to this show! It is very well run and the public is super friendly. I'm in spot #1 again...woot woot! Hoping the weather report continues to be warm and sunny! Stop in if you're looking for something to do this Saturday. There are activities for the kids, great food and entertainment all day. Looking forward to seeing you!

Website Overhaul

Working on putting the finishing touches on my new website. I'm really excited about it! I've loaded new pictures for the Gallery, revamped the About page and basically just cleaned it up. Pop over if you have a minute and check it out.

This is going to be a crazy week! I'm sewing every day for a show in Berkley on Saturday and we have a wedding that my kids are in on Sunday. And I'm hosting the bachelorette party on Friday. Glad to do it though. I'm super excited for our friends Doug and Gill! I'll post pics next week!

Pancake Breakfast

Its so nice having a girlie who loves to stir...

when old supplies run out...make a new bag

Well my roll of bag stabilizer finally ran out this week. Ugh. So into the scrap pile I dove and managed to find enough to make a few small bags. These little babies have been requested more than a few times by shoppers so I'm hoping they will sell this coming weekend. The straps are super long so you can wear it across the body, zipper close with one interior pocket. Perfect for well...art/craft shows I guess :)

Enjoy the weekend! Its a beautiful day here in southeast Michigan!
