Fortune Cookies...

Things are looking up, first our very good friends came over and immediately found 5, yes FIVE, four leaf clovers in our front yard in a matter of 2 minutes...

Then I went out to eat with my hubby the other night and got this in my fortune cookie...

Thank you fortune cookie for your words of wisdom.  And thank you to good friends who are always there for you, and help lift your spirits when needed.
Sometimes its the little things.  Actually, its almost always the little things.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time...

My Big Fat Craft Fair FAIL...

Have you ever worked really hard at something, only to have it be a big fat failure?

Yup, that was me this past weekend with my big fat craft fair FAIL.

I had all of these dreams and visions of a semi-successful craft fair, with at the very least only half of my inventory selling. Wanna know how much I sold??? Zip. Nada. Not a ting. Well, unless you count the 2 barrettes that my craft fair partner bought when I wasn't looking, I think to make me feel better. HA! Now that is a good friend!

Needless to say, I was sooooooooo bummed.

I even had all of these plans to tell you what I learned, a whole week of a possible mini-Series. Yeah, ummmm...that is not going to happen.

That is not to say that I didn't learn anything though.



I worked really hard for the two months leading up to it, making all sorts of clothing in my free time. Learning how to 'assembly line sew' as I called it. Trying to figure out what clothing would be the fastest to make, in the least amount of time. Going through my fabric stash and seeing what I wanted to stash bust with. Even coming up with some new designs to premier.

A Little Somthin' Somthin'...

I am still gathering my head about me over the Craft Fair, and I am looking forward to telling you all about it. But today I thought I would share just a few things I made and took pictures of prior to the show...

Some Spring Scarves...
