I just added a new item to the shop – Heart Cupcake Toppers! They are so sweet, and would be darling to use for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, a special tea with friends …. or just to dress up your morning muffin. : ) I have plans to add ones made from music paper, red ones and maybe more – I’ll keep you posted! Thank you so much for following along with me here on the blog. I haven’t been…
It’s really fun to realize that some of the things in the shop are getting featured on websites and blogs (a huge thank you to all the wonderful people featuring them!!!). It brings a huge smile to my face. : ) I was so excited this afternoon to see that it had happened again last week! The blog that carried that post is called It’s A Brides Life (here’s the post). The author was writing about Etsy wedding decor and…

Emma Grace is in sweet stage where she loves her dollies. She loves taking care of them, making them “talk”, holding their hands and making them “walk”, asking for treats (real ones) for them to eat (and she then finishes what they don’t, of course). And of course, diapering them. It was getting to the point where she was using more (real) diapers and wipes on them than I was on her some days! So, now her dollies have their…
I’ve been thinking about a phrase someone I know said a few weeks ago: “God doesn’t give you more than you can handle at a time, so that you won’t lose faith and turn away from Him.” There was something about that phrase that really bothered me, but I didn’t have the quickness of mind at the time to be able to put my finger on it and respond.A few weeks later, though (kind of shows how scatter brained I…
My great-aunt sent me a package that was almost overflowing with wonderful handmade lace pieces.The best thing about this lace? It was made by my great-grandma and great-great-grandma. Isn’t it just amazing? Aunt Noelle sent it for me to use, and I will. : ) Maybe to edge some dresses and tops for Emma Grace, maybe on some decorative pillows too. Even though I almost want to wrap these pieces in tissue and preserve them, this lace was meant be…
It’s June 23 and Summer has officially been here for 2 days. And I haven’t blogged since May 14 – yikes! I had every intention of posting a new silhouette in the shop for Father’s Day, using the one that I was making as John’s gift as the example. Um …. I got his done on Father’s Day afternoon. Definitely not in time to post.His dessert this year was a Strawberry Upside-down Cake (recipe from here) and it was delicious….
can you see my garland up in the middle? The Vintage Music Hearts Garland was featured in a treasury called “Daddy’s little birthday girl” this morning, and that treasury has been on the front page of Etsy’s treasury section all day! Kind of fun. : )
3 years ago today John and I were finally able to be together after not seeing each other for over 4 months. We were finally in the same time zone, same state, same city, same car. It was wonderful. (photo from the rehearsal dinner – we both needed sleep!) 3 years ago today we were not only finally together, we were finally alone and on our way to our last pre-marital counseling session with our pastor (and the only one that…
-image source- I just love the brides who order from thePathLessTraveled.Not only is it fun to fill their orders for their coming weddings, but many of them have wonderful ideas of things that they’d like to see if I can make for them – often giving me ideas of new things to add to the shop (remember this post?)! One such bride asked if I could make her some fabric streamers – of course I can! She sent along the…
