fridays rock


good morning all....so i was actually able to find some peace yesterday. i sat down at the sewing machine and made some pouches from hemp scraps....and a few other things. of course when i went to take pictures, the batteries in my camera start to die. happens every time, i sware! so i've got them charging and when it's nice and bright and sunny today i'll take some new ones. i've got a new bag listed in the SHOP and another sweet one in the works for today. i'm going to be dyeing some fabric today and then i can start on some of these ideas floating around in my head. my guy has to drive to albuquerque tonight to pick up his brother. it's a cool drive...but not when you've done it a hundred times and not at night. they probably won't be getting home until 1 am or so. that's if all goes well with his flights...he is supposed to be flying into dallas then albuquerque. i talked to my sister, who lives in huntsville, last night and she said houston airport was closing, but she wasn't sure about dallas. they're leaving their house and going to a shelter. i couldn't imagine having to deal with a hurricane! my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in it's path.
one last reminder that today is the last day to enter the drawing for one of my relax yah packs. so, if you haven't already, you can enter
HERE ! don't forget to leave an email address so you can be contacted if you win....a lot of people forget to leave theirs it seems....i feel bad because they said sweet things about my work,but there's no way to reach them,so they're not entered. please remember to leave yours!! alright...i'm off to start my day.
~many blessings~

fabric time and sick wee ones...


yay! my new fabric came today from marlena from infintecosmoshemp! i got some hemp/silk herringbone...which i love to work with! i think i might make a skirt and a bag with it :) then i got a ton of hemp scraps. these are perfect for making some funky patchy wallets>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i can't wait to make some new stuff, there's just not enough time in the day lately! all 3 of my girlies are sick right now. our oldest still has the swollen gland in her neck. i took her to the dr. about 2 weeks ago and he said it wasn't an infection so he wanted to wait 7-10 days to see if it went down. well it did...but then it started swelling again. she's had a headache for days now. we have to go to the hospital today and get some blood work done on her. hopefully they will be able to let us know what the deal is! i hate not knowing what's going on!!! then last night, our two youngest started not feeling well (but have completely different symptoms than our oldest)

our youngest now has a fever this morning. i feel so helpless when they're sick. i just hope they all get better soon! my guy's brother is coming in for a visit and will be here late friday night. he's spending the week with us. please send our girlies fuzzy,warm get better vibes so they recover quick and get to have fun while their uncle dan is here!
hope you all have a beautiful day....

friday!


so glad it's friday! i have much to do today. i had 4 sales this week....yay :) I actually got them all late wednesday night. so i'll be shipping those out today. hopefully september will continue to be a good month for the shop! i had planned to get a bunch of sewing in yesterday but my headache just wouldn't wake up. i went to bed with it wed. and still have it. such a yucky thing to wake up with a headache....again. i hardly ever get them but when i do it's pretty bad. i can't take anything for it either. i'm allergic to everything over the counter...tylenol,advil,aleve,you name it. quite the bummer. my packs help a lot though...but with the kiddos, i can't just lay on the couch with the pack on my head all day :( i'm just going to work through it today and hopefully it'll go away soon!
on the agenda today...2 new bags and a wallet. i can't wait to finish these babies up. they're all cut out and one is half sewn. they're just sitting they're waiting for some stitches! i should have them all in my shop by tonight.
before i can start my sewing i must tackle the enormous pile of laundry that needs folded and wash some dishes. always fun.
hope everyone is feeling fine and has a super weekend!
