I’m so excited I’m jumping up and down! Well almost jumping up and down… more like bouncing in my chair :) Mindie over at Bacon Time with the Hungry Hippo is hosting a giveaway today, and I am one over the GIVERS :) This is my very first giveaway and I am so excited! I’m giving away a $20 credit … [Read more...]

  That is the question… Etsy has recently made some changes and they now allow you one shot at changing your shop name.  I’d been wishing that this was an option, and now it is! But do I want to change? What would I change it to? I love all the cute shop names like CaitCreate, SeasonsofWool and … [Read more...]

  So lately I’ve been struggling… I love pinterest, but I hate it at the same time! With Christmas, my wedding, several craft shows and markets to get ready for, as well as photo shoots booked, I have a billion and 3 things to do! And yet I find myself  spending HOURS pinning away. There are so … [Read more...]

  As a family friendly alternative to Halloween, my church hosts a fall festival even each year. The kids (and even some parents) get to dress up, play games, eat a ton of sugar and take home a ton of candy. They were looking for volunteers to help make cupcakes for the kids, and I of course offered … [Read more...]

  I’m in love with hand rolled, fabric rosettes! There are a million different things you can do with them :) I’ve made headbands, pins, and used them to embellish a whole bunch of other things, but when I saw these… I was inspired.

  Mule has been sick for the past 3 days. Sickest he’s been in years apparently. Is it just me or are men impossibly grumpy and toddler like when they are sick? Oh and all he wants to eat is Kraft dinner and chocolate chip cookies. *Sigh* So I need to laugh and take my mind off the fact that I … [Read more...]

    BOOBIES!   Shocked? Well you shouldn’t be :) It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I’ve had family and friends fight against Breast cancer. Some have won, some have lost. All were incredible fighters and I stand in awe of their Strength. I lost my Nana to cancer in 2001. It started out as breast … [Read more...]

  Like being wrapped up in the perfect hug :) At least that’s how I feel. They are labor intensive, time consuming pieces of art that reflect the makers heart. Of Course that’s just my opinion :) I’m in the midst of another baby quilt and planning of a block swap with a friend (if you’re interested … [Read more...]

  OK well its not really a secret :) But saying it’s a secret seems to make it so much  more fun! A couple of weeks ago I signed up for a fall/Halloween swap hosted by Pink Stiches. But since I’m not much of a fan of Halloween, I’m going more with the fall theme. I got an AWESOME swap partner named … [Read more...]

    CHRISTMAS! right? At least I don’t think its too early. Especially with planning a wedding for the first of January! I’ve got to be on my organizational A game. So I’ve started pinning :) Oh how I love pinning :D These are just a few of the ideas that I’ve come across that I want to add to … [Read more...]
