I will be done with the vacation post soon. We are very thankful we were all able to make it to my Grandmothers funeral. She passed away at the age of 98 years old. We REALLY enjoyed visiting with all our family and friends from the Midwest. Thank you all for your wonderful hospitality.

Wordless Wednesday...

I love my customers...

"I will take one in each color!
... I am potty training my daughter."
Ahem... are you sure you don't want a tunic to go with each pair??
Why didn't I think of that while training? Afraid of running low on pants my kids had to run around in their undies while at home... and I sew!!

Oh, my Baby!

Let me tell you... this little handful is so full of personality!!! She loves to imitate people, animals and characters to make us all laugh... especially to her Daddy! Oh, and she is good at it too! We are trying really, really hard not to spoil her... any suggestions on not giving in when she pouts those big lips?

Check this out!!!
