Mother's Day 2012

 Mother's Day has a whole new meaning this year.

  We are so unbelievably happy she is still here with us, after having such a tough year regarding her health.

(My Mama, circa 1944-ish)

I can honestly say that she is the strongest, smartest, most cunning, nuturing and talented Mother I've ever known.  

I love you Mom....

and I am proud to be your daughter.

 

My New Sewing/Design Studio

Next week,

we move.

And I will be able to have my sewing inside our home rather than outside.

It's gonna be so nice.  

sigh.

I am lucky enough to be "inheriting" a desk from my sons girlfriend's Mom's bestfriends roomates, Uncle Nick.

(Just kidding about the bestfriends Uncle Nick.)

Here is what it's going to look like AFTER a katrillion coats of paint:

(thank you allthingsthrifty.com)

Isn't is the BEST idea ever?  It's the perfect size and has tons of drawers! 

I'll be sure to take before & after shots of the desk AND the room.  

(The walls are going to be aqua/turquoise and curtains!!)

Yay!

It's like riding a bike

(I made this one.... just for me!)

You never forget!

I'm hoping that writing a blog will be the same.  

I've missed my blog and the inspiration is gives me to create.  I'm craving a really good crafting day where I get to make something I WANT not something I HAVE to make.  Know what I mean?  

(Not that I'm complaining about sewing purses, I do love it and appreciate my customers and their orders.... I just don't get my creative ON!)

So.... I'm gonna just jump right back into the water here on my beloved and extremely missed bloggy-poo and do what makes me happy.

Create!

I'll be back soon with little updates about where I've been and what I'm doing.... 

Yay!!

 

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day

 My four children give my life worth.  

And having a wonderful husband to share them with, makes life even better.

The Bug

The months of March and April were pretty rough for my family.  My poor Mama had another spell in the hospital with her heart and breathing issues and from there.... it all went downhill.  My Dad got sick with a stomach 'thing' that sent him to the hosptial then my Amelia-Claire got it and ended up here:  

(See poor pathetic sunken-eyed little girl below)

Her Daddy says it was from wearing her Justin Bieber shirt.... she didn't agree.

Then.... everyone else got it.  My Mom ended up going back for two days because of it and my poor Angel of Husband got it and still has it.  Poor guy... he's not used to being sick.

(It's actuallykinda funny........ he thinks he can beat it with his own man-made-thought-up home remedies.  Tee and Hee!)

Bascially what all of this means on the sewing/crafting homefront is that

THERE IS NO SEWING AND CRAFTING ON THE HOMEFRONT!

I do however have a ton of purses screaming at me from my "book-0-orders" and I'm trying my best to get to them and satisfy my awesome customers.  It's happening, slowly but surely.  I also have a good amount of other neat stuff to blog about but can't seem to find 'ye old son's camera that I have to borrow since mine brokeded' to be able to show you with pictures AND words.  

Oh... Saint Anthony I need you!!

 

New....

It's been forever since I've posted.... yet again I fail.

On a brighter note.... I've made some new purses using Joel Dewberry's new Aviary 2 line and also Ty Pennington's new Impressions line.... and I'm loving the doo out of them!  

Seriously.... the doo!

(Above:  Aviary 2, sparrows and ironworks?  I can't remember what the framing fabric is called and I'm too fat and lazy to look up the name.)

(Above:  Ty Pennington's Impressions.  Again, too fat and lazy to look up the names but me loves them lots.)

I've basically been sewing, sewing and sewing tons of purse orders.  Thank Goodness!  Since Darren's job was reduced to part-time... I'm broke.  Seriously.  So, thank you to all of my fabulous customers!  Be sure to go on Facebook and LIKE Plumtickled... I'm always updtating the newest purses and dresses there and also giving coupon codes for nice discounts!  

HOoray!

Now... I'm off to eat.  Yes, eat.... it's what I do.

 

 

Emotional breakdown beginnings

This boy Cole.... he's going to be leaving me soon.

Stupid college!

He was just this little guy a day or so ago... I promise.

And a day or so before this he was just this little guy.

 

I think about it every single day.  It can't be good for my circulatory system, can it? 

I need to go bake something.

 

 

 

Getting my blogging legs again

I'm back.  I finally updated my credit card information.... I'm so lazy.

I'm busy sewing the crud out of purses but will be back soon to show you everything I've been up to.... and stuff I have planned to complete before Santa comes our way. More like things I'll be staying up late doing because I wait till the last second.  

I'm like that.

Wasn't sure if you knew that.

Now you do.
