Happy Halloween

Life is Good when it's Halloween!!!!

Walking Machine

Whit is on the move and she is fast!!!  Macy calls her a "walking machine."

Life has much cleaner hands with a walker than a crawler.

New Favorite.....Again!!!

I think every time I work with a new fabric or try a new pattern it is my favorite....at least of a little while.

This one is like a 2 for 1 deal---new favorite fabric and pattern!!!

A few weeks ago, I was browsing through Etsy and found a cute bag.  It looked similar to a pattern I had done but with tweaked handles.  It also had a fun Chevron fabric similar to one I had used on a panel for a bag.  I put it in the back of my mind to make someday...........I even got online to search for more Chevron fabric!

Then, a few days ago, a very crafty friend posted a pic of the same bag..........I took it as a sign that I needed to make one and got back online and ordered the fabric.

When we got back from soccer practice last night, I had a nice little surprise on my doorstep!!!!

I put the girls to bed, Justin came home from a dinner meeting and chatted with me while 

 I "whipped" up a new bag!!!

Ta Da...........

Hoping to get a few more done before my craft show this weekend.  The best part is the sash can be removed and replaced with a different color!!!!

Life is a Good with something new.........and cute!!!!

25,000 Giveaway

We had a wild and crazy Friday night........We ate dinner at Costco and then J took the Biggest and the Littlest shopping.  I took the Middles over to JoAnn's.  

While there I found this fun purple fabric for a custom order.

I liked it so much that when Kaylee and I went back on Sunday(yes, I have a problem with going to JoAnn's) I got more to make a purse.

I have enough left over to make either another purse or a knot dress, so I decided to celebrate 25,000 pageviews I would have a giveaway.

Here's the prize:

A purse like the above picture or a knot dress of your size choice.

Sunday Spa Day

What do you do when you want a lazy Sunday,

 but don't want your kids to sit in front of the TV all day?!?!?!  

SPA DAY!!!!!!

 We mixed up some Bathtub Paint:

1/3 cup baby shampoo--I did 20 squirts

1 Tablespoon Cornstartch

Food Coloring

Mix together

I am not a baker so we don't use food coloring very often.  Maybe this has been around for awhile, but I found gel food coloring today.  It was great-----not messy and gave the paint a very bright color.

 Ready for a soak in the tub!

 I am on a new laundry system----do loads all week and fold everything when I get a chance!

 Manicures and Pedicures

The girls spent about an hour and a half in the tub and taking a shower afterward---plenty of time for me to fold everything.

We had the nail salon open for about a half hour so we filled a few hours with some fun, cheap entertainment.

Life is Good with Family Sundays

Mommy's Models

Every Sunday, the girls pick out their clothes for the week.  It worked out that today K and M both picked out Sew Sassy Sweetpeas outfits!

Life is Good with Free Models!!!

Happy Fall

For Kindergarten, Kaylee needed to find signs of Fall last week and our front porch has quite a few......

.....Straw, Corn Stalks, Mums and Pumpkins!!!!!

 We've never decorated with all of these things before, but I went to Rita's Backyard after a neighbor mentioned it and it was very reasonably priced.

1 Large and 1 Small Straw Bale

2 9 inch Mums

1 Corn Stalk 

4 Pumpkins 

All for just under $42.

I have driven by a million times and always wondered about what they had--now I wish I had done it years ago. If you live in the area I would suggest stopping in.

The best part was the 4 different sizes of pumpkins.  Macy loved picking one out for each of her sisters and herself.

Life is Good in the Fall!
