We have some wonderful new sponsors that I just HAVE to introduce you to. I have sampled the goodness of some of them first hand when they took me up on my bartering deal. They sent me burp cloths and I hooked them up with free advertising. It's a total win win scenario. :) In all the craziness of the kitchen remodel and now with getting the baby's room ready, I have not been able to take many pictures so I'm going to show you some of the goodies they each offer in their shops and then just sing their praises about what I received. :) Check these out! These are some of the items I received from Sunfire Creative. Aren't they great?? Embroidered Burp Cloths and Matching Custom Onesie and some Chenille Burp Cloths with cool patterned fabric. Love it all!More adorableness from Elly & Oliver. … [Read more...]

Project Gone Bad…….And A New Sponsor
I had such grand ideas to make some custom dish towels today but that whole project was a bust! I tried to use a piece of muslin that I had kicking around and that part actually came out pretty good but when it was time to use some fusible interfacing and snaps, I ran into some problems. I think I hammered the snaps too hard and they got all wonky. Then the brilliant crafter that I am decides to iron the interfacing on AFTER I took the paper backing off. Ummm, yeah, I tried to iron my appliques onto the interfacing after I peeled the paper off. End result, stuff stuck all over the ironing board cover and the iron. For some reason interfacing confuses me. If I don't have the instructions handy, I'm a total spazz. lol So, no project to show off today. I do however have a really cool new … [Read more...]
