The new mommy itch

Don't you hate when you get the new mommy itch? Ahhhh, it's all over me right now but I am in no way thinking of being a new mommy again...ya got that! It all started when I found the cutest diaper bag while shopping in the baby section at one of our local boutiques. SMACK!!! It hit me, that stinkin' itch! Awe, all the new baby items that would fit great in this awesome bag, the passys, bottles, tiny diapers and cute wipes case...I love babies stuff! So, if you are planning on being a new mommy or you are enjoying that new bundle of joy, you gotta take a look here. These bags are awesome!

I thought spring was here?

Boy was I wrong! We had a winter blast come in out of nowhere. I am serious! Saturday afternoon I was grilling pork chops and it was like 69 degrees. Then Sunday afternoon...SNOW! It was crazy! Huge flakes, dropping temps and a little girl that was giggling with excitement made for a wonderful day in the snow. We enjoyed taking pictures of the rare occasion. The snow is still lingering on the ground today and school was canceled but temps are forecasted to be in the 40's. So, I am sure things will be back to normal soon. Enjoy the pictures of our fun time in the Georgia snow storm!

Shop hop

Love to shop, love fabric, love sewing, crafting or just being among ladies of like interest? Join me in the shop hop! You can read about it here. This is going to be so much fun. I can't wait to see what each shop has to offer! I am sure you wont want to miss Karen Taylor's shop, A Scarlet Thread. She has some of the most beautiful boutique fabrics...about 6,000 + bolts to be exact. I love her shop, it's like a candy store for sew-a-holic!

Wowsers....me?

That was my exact thought when I received an email today from my fiend Kris over at SWAK.com. For those of you who have never heard of SWAK.com, it's a jaw dropping, amazing, creative, loaded with fun site full of embroidery designs. A couple of weeks ago I posted a little apron dress that I made and embroidered a little red apple design on the front. This is a design that I found over at SWAK. You'll never guess...it was FREE! Yep, cute and FREE..I was shocked! The design was a perfect fit for what I needed to give the apron dress a finished look. Anyway, to my surprise...I was featured! SWAK.com has an e-newsletter that generates every so often and I was featured for my creation using the apple embroidery design. I thought that was so "sweet"! - LOL Thanks Kris for all that you do over at SWAK.com and for featuring my creation that looks so great...thanks to SWAK!

where ya at?

To answer all of the email questions of ..."Where are you?", we took a spur of the moment family vacation this past week. Roxanne was out of school and we decided that all of us could use a little time away. We had a wonderful time just being free to do what we wanted, when we wanted, eat how we wanted...where we wanted...etc. It was just a truly fun time with the family. I hope you all have been well. Sorry I ducked out without giving you guys the scoop, but it was such a last minute trip that we were here one day and gone the next. Anyway, I'll be posting some exciting news soon...stick around!

A little something for yourself

With spring on the way, I can't help but to find myself being attracted to cute little hand bags. Out with the old drab brown and black totes and step into spring with this soft yellow print bag. I love the unique design and it's functionality! You can find it here.

Did I mention that I like little red apples too!

My new motto is "Red...is delicious"! Doesn't this yummy fabric make you want to drool? I am totally in love with it! The first time I laid eyes on this print I knew I had to have it...a lot of it! It took weeks for this line to become available to retailers. As soon as it was on the shelf, I headed straight for the cutting table....true love! The fabric is part of Sandi Henderson's newest fabric line, Farmer's Market. The little apron dress above is part of her sewing pattern collection, the Claire pattern. I made this little set for my youngest daughter, Bryar. Hmmmm...I'm thinking little red apples (green ones too) will be popular at the Roe house this summer!

Crash and burn

OK, so this is not funny...at all! You know my new laptop that I just purchased 7 days ago. Well, it's fried! Yep, serious! It was in the shop on the 7th day. "A VIRUS...again!", I said, like I hadn't heard that line before! So, needless to say I lost my computer again! Thank goodness there was no charge to me and my computer was able to be cleaned. We now have some super geeky, techo, anti-EVERYTHING program running on this doozie of a computer. Shew, I burnt it up in 7 days. Is that like a world record or something. You should have seen the geek squads face..."you've only had this for seven days?" It would have made you laugh. Just think of it, Miss. crafty over here has the geeksters puzzled...I was laughing(on the inside) and praying to the good Lord I serve that he would bail me out of this nightmare once more. Thank you Jesus...you're one awesome computer tech!

XOXO...

Today is Roxanne's Valentine's exchange. The teachers asked that each parent help their child create a box for their Valentine's. With a little thought and some supplies I had on hand, here's what we came up with.

My talented friend Kris and her daughter also created a Valentine's box for her daughters Valentine's exchange. Check is out here! It's a totally cute and fun Valentine's box that you can carry like a purse. Yep, she's one crafty mama!

I wish you all a wonderful and happy Valentine's day!
