Ditz of the Day!

The award would go to me.... who left a comment directing people to my blog to see pictures of my craftroom.... only to come and check and realize THEY AREN'T HERE!

So.... here ya go!

Rain gutters. They are theeee best ever for storing my ribbon. I need more though. You will notice at least 3 colors are missing because I'm out of room, also all my ruffle ribbon is not here.



there is a total of 10 feet of rain gutter here. It comes in 10' sections, wich hubby easily cut with a small saw into 4 2.5' sections. The end caps were the biggest expense. All this cost me about $15.00!!



My Table.... it's big. Probably way too big for this tiny space. But I need it. I'm a spreader-outter when I work. I need to have it all right infront of my in a big mess in order to get anything done. It was a craigslist find at only $20, delivered to me, with a chair. It's only flaw.... it was U-G-L-Y. It is solid wood though, so it had potential.



Can you see all the nastiness we had to sand off? I wish I had a good before picture. I'm sure I do somewhere....



More nastiness...



My cute hubby.... he spent 2 nights after work finnishing it for me.



The measuring tape is varnished into the table top. I love it! No more searching for it!



And my cute green chair!! I *heart* my cute green chair!

Fall Thinking

My vacation in california is begining to wind down now. It's time to start thinking about packing everything back up for the long drive home. I've had a nice break from life in general.

I'm ready now to get home and get busy on this years Fall pretties! I have a few ideas... still need to work out a few kinks though. I will begin planning for a Fall Open House once I get home. But here's the thing.... I want to be able to include my fellow etsy customers as well.

It won't be as special as coming to my cute house and eating yummy treats while trying out bows and flowers while the kids play. It will also lack the fun adult conversation and tour of my craftro.... closet.
----BUT----
Here's what I'm thinking..... How about a SALE? I will list my summer things along with a few new fall things at a great price on etsy or maybe play a facebook game with it. Haven't decided yet. Just because you're far away doesn't mean you're forgotten!

Just for teasers I've got some plans for cute mommy things too!

Lots of Info

Okay! It is finally vacation time! YAY!

I've decided to have another give away on my facebook page! If you're not a fan get on that so you can be included in all the fun!

Whom ever sends the most fans my way will win- but only if I make it past 75. It's simple to do:
Go "like" my fan page
Suggest the page to your friends with a little note telling them to leave a comment with who sent them my way.

That's it! You have two weeks!

Also, my Etsy store is now accessible from my facebook page. However, my store is closed until I return.

I will be re-opening on the 5th of July with some fun new things! So stay tuned!

California friends..... I will be bringing a limited number of posies to sell while I'm there. Once they are gone they're gone. Trying to clear out inventory for new stuff. I'm only bringing posies, and one special someone a couple other things.... because I'm a sucker for babies!

Fort Lewis Friends.... be looking for info on my fall kick off open house. It will be sometime in August. EEeek! I'm so excited!

Yay for Vacations!

I'm so super excited to go on my vacation!

Ofcourse, in my life, that means that this last week before I leave is jam packed full of majorly important things.

Like my son having surgery, the dog too, hubby getting sick, new carpet installed downstairs, the car registration disappearing in the mail.... the list goes on.

Also on that list- TONS of orders for bows!!

I'm working hard today to get them all done. And in the mail. Today.

Today is also the last day to place any orders for 4th of July or other. I will be closing my etsy shop and not checking emails or blog until I get back from california.

I hope you are all enjoying your summer <3

Sets

It's been a while since I've been very busy with bows. Not to say that I'm "busy" right now.... but... I had lots of fun making this darling custom set and wanted to share!





I'm thinking it would be fun to do a few in different colors to keep on etsy.

The hubby is working all night on a gaurd shift. I'm going to play!
