Look at Me Go!

Wow, I am kinda proud of me!

I started a new Facebook fanpage....

lynn's fanpage

And, no less amazing, I made a new Holiday shop banner.

I searched for a premade one I loved or could customize a bit, and nada, nothing I liked. sO, I started searching for some digital elements and found these Rob and Bob ones. Oh how I used to covet their papers and stickers in my scrappin' days (not that they are gone forever mind you).

Anyhoo, I got to working...

and hours later (when I should have had the house clean for my quickly approaching Thanksgiving guests), here's what I came up with. It's so cute. Let me know what you think!!!

Oh, and I realize that the avatar still needs work, but hey...

gotta run, this guy is yelling at me somethin' fierce!!!

This is probably why I never got to paint my room yellow as a young lass. Yellow!!!! What a difficult color to photograph!

This child's scarf is sO pretty IRL!
Soft and sweet. And the characters havve such sweet faces. I adore it. Makes me want a little girl all over again.

Well, maybe not!!!

I only had this tiny bit of this fabric, so this truly is one-of-a-kind.
Although...
I do have another colorway almost ready that is suitable for little lads and lasses.

sorry for being MIA for so long. It seems I lost a week or so there!

Oh, and last but certainly not least, my first born is 18 today!
Eighteen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would say that I am getting old, but believe me, I am already there!

2 More for the Weekend

This last one is another work in progress. The waistband and pocket will be out of a brown and white zebra pattern that is currently enroute, and the ties are the blue polka dot. Very cute, and not Lilly.

Have a great weekend peeps!

They like them, they really like them...

My aprons have been well received as of late, and I must admit I have really been enjoying putting them together. If my darn kids would quit getting in my way!

Just kidding of course (well, kinda).






They are all sold!
I'm working on more now. How fun!!!
And one last thing...
a new scarf

Happy Day

Hi All-

I was going to post some pics of a new apron I listed today, but a sweet customer that purchased a scarf, snatched it up. I love it when people get as excited about something I make as I do. It's hard to explain, but it's kinda like someone really appreciating something about your child!

Here's what it looks like anyways. I used a fringe for the first and NOT last time.
Hope you like. More coming soon. In other farics of course....
Hmmm, maybe I should invest in some larger pieces with holiday shopping coming up and all. Oh sorry, I'm talking to myself again!


Have the Best Halloween!!!

Here's what I have to show her, waiting for final approval.

ANd in other news, I received my HUGE box of designer scraps and have been sorting through them. Can't wait to get started on some gorgeous new Fall scarves!!!
I'll definitely be keeping a couple of these beauties for myself.

I'll keep you posted with my progress. Still have lots of cutting and sorting left before I can begin sewing.

It's Only Taken 16 years!!!

No, it has nothing to do with my children...

or my husband.

It's this guy

Yep, we've live here on the water for 16 years come December 1, and NEVER have I seen one of these in my yard during the day. In fact, I've only seen some at night once, and that was a couple weeks ago.
We live very close to a small island that we've always known had deer on it, but never, ever saw them in our hood until the last couple of years. Obviously they are thriving. Although I did see a wound on this guys back leg. Sure hope he'll be ok.

I have mentioned before that I moved a little desk into my kitchen to house my laptop not long ago and I came downstairs to "check my email" for the who knows what time today, when this one caught my eye.

I am so lucky to live here!!!
