With Gratitude...

...we celebrated Thanksgiving.  I am so very blessed and offer up my thanks and praise to God not only on Thanksgiving but all year long.  This turkey day we were filled with thanks and turkey...and stuffing...and repeat.  As per normal with my beautiful blended family, we pull double duty on the holidays...but who's complaining?!  Seconds? Count us in!


The guys enjoyed a little football while the hens were heating up the kitchen!

Where the Magic Happens! Sew Fab...

After a hiatus from my clothing line aspirations last year... I am ready to jump back in the swivel chair and let the creativity flow.  With a year of re-adjusting and settling into our new life in Southern Maryland, I packed away the old Singer for a while.  Finally starting to feel like my feet are back on the ground, I have missed having my creative sewing outlet.  With a house full of boys and all things boy related, my favorite room in the house is my sewing room.  My sanctuary of fabulosity is all frills and ruffles; totally girly.  With my new sewing room complete and fully functional, it is time to start shopping for fabrics!

Fall Fun

Fall is my favorite time of year! The excitement and anticipation of the approaching holidays, the gorgeous change in scenery, (my birthday), and the crisp weather that just seems to add a little extra energy to the day's adventures.
