Just Say It!




 It's almost time... candy hearts, chocolate boxes, Hallmark
cards and flowers. Sometimes I wish EVERYDAY was
Valentine's Day!  I think we often forget to stop, take that
moment to say "you are loved'. 

So this is a gentle reminder to myself, and all those, who like me
get carried away with the constant craziness we call LIFE.
JUST SAY IT! 
However you can, simple or elaborate. Let those around
you know how much you care for them.  We all need
to be reminded. 

Happy Hearts Day!

Color Inspiration





COLOR plays a huge role in who I am.

Not only in the garden, but in my children's products,
I design around color and texture. 

I thought I'd share with you some gorgeous images
of spring to get your heart skipping a beat.

Counting My Christmas Blessings

 The holidays can be a hard time for some.  Remembering
those loved ones who are no longer with us. Missing friends
or family we don't get to spend the holidays with.

Speaking for myself, the struggle between appreciating all that
I have, and wanting more for my children often creates
  a little hole in my heart. This year has brought many struggles.


   
 But at the end of the day
I have so many blessings to count.  Life has so many challenges,
but the rewards are abundant.

  


I hope that this Holiday Season brings much love, joy and laughter
to your life. I hope the fun of spending a little time with a friend, or
reading a book to your child, or decorating a ginger bread house,
 reminds you that EACH DAY IS SPECIAL.  

Enjoy the season and remember to count
your Christmas blessings!

Last Few Cuties...




Trying to squeeze sewing into my very BUSY, HECTIC, AND 
OFTEN CRAZY schedule has been a bit tough. 
Obviously I've been MIA from my blog since the end of October. 
THESE ARE SOME GIRLS FROM THE LAST MONTH!

It's nearly December now, Christmas is just around the corner.
Today as the clouds cover the sky, I'm taking the opportunity to
work on the last three custom dolls of this holiday season.

I'm going to take a deep breath and count my blessings. 
I hope you can do the same. 

Happy Friday!
