Good News - Bad News

So the good news is that we are DONE! We have over 1,400 patterns packed and ready (I have to say here that Ben and Anna ROCK), and all of my sewing is finally done! YAY! The bad news is that there is no way I will be able to show you all of this stuff until we get back :( and I really think you are going to like it too! Oh, well. It is what it is.

I miss you guys! I thought of all of you, my online sewing buddies, as I sewed these samples up. The samples reminded me of back to school time and freshly sharpened pencils, which made me think of homeschooling and how I need to tell you all about our new set up this year. Oh I have so much to say! Including a little post after market explaining what my top-secret summer project was!!! I wish I could blab it all now but I have to wait until after market for that one....Meet me back here Tuesday and I promise to make up for all of the silence! In fact I may never be silent again after I spill the beans on this one! Can't wait to see you Tuesday! xo, Sam

I enjoyed meeting you and your sweet husband at market today. (I am the one opening a new fabric shop in October). Your patterns are precious and I can't wait to get something started....just don't know which one I'll begin first. Looking forward to you bringing your items for a trunk show. Thanks for all your help!

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We

A Wee Newborn Fairy Bonnet Pattern
