Under the gun....

So it's thursday.... thursday, thursday, thursday.... need to finish a halloween costume by tomorrow.... I wish I was a caffeine drinker, as I'm sure I'll need it tonight....

Ever feel like you're under the gun?

Have a nice evening everyone ;)

Quick Bit....

Wow! It's been a VERY busy last few weeks, and will continue to be... YAY for beautiful pictures that drum up orders, hearts and traffic! I couldn't be more happy!

And to top it off, in true Monkey-Mama fashion, I've left the Halloween sewing til the very. last. minute... have I ever mentioned that Halloween is the BESTEST holiday EVVVV-ERRRRR!!?? I'll be posting some pictures later on in the week of this year's costume picks.... once they're all complete, that is... For now, here are some hints of what they are...

Costume #1: You can eat it crispy... or not ~:>
Costume #2: Phone home :-/
Costume #3: Ouch! My neck hurts >:[

Have a nice evening all ;)

In my yard....

On a beautifully sunny Saturday afternoon.... this happened....











Thanks so much Stephanie, for the fantastic pictures of a fun bunch of great looking kids.... oh yeah, and hats too!

Check out Stephanie here... you'll be amazed and want her to take pictures of your kids too... Have a great evening all ;)

Say cheese....

What a beautiful fall day it has been... I had the good fortune to meet a lovely lady named Stephanie... and she just happens to be a fantastic photographer...

Today she was nice enough to come over to my house with her daughter and 2 daughters of a mutual friend of ours... and together with my own 3 children... held a fun photo session/play date featuring my hats!!! I am EXTREMELY excited to be able to post pictures of my hats on some of the cutest heads I have ever seen, and taken by a photographer who sees beauty in everyday life.

I'll have pictures to show you later in the week... I can hardly wait! And I can hardly wait to post them in my shop!

Thanks so very much Stephanie! You are truly amazing in your art! You can see Stephanie's work on her website by clicking on her name in this post or the link in the sidebar.

Have a happy, happy weekend everyone! ;)

Addicted....

No pictures to show... but, trust me... I've been busy! I'm totally addicted to these darn scrubbies!

I'm not too sure how many I've actually made because I've been giving them away as I'm making them... did I mention that I LOVE them??? Is it weird to love something that you use to get crusty food off your dishes?

Aaaany-who.... Not much else to report... Oh, wait! I'm actually reading a book! Yes... I've managed to fit a book into the few minutes I have here and there... like eating my breakfast standing at the counter... or, o-er giving the boys 5 extra minutes in the tub so I can sit on the bathroom floor beside them and get in a few more pages... Does anyone else do this? See, I don't actually give myself the time to sit and read... it's something I work in (and not very often)... aaanyway, the book is Angels and Demons by Dan Brown... I really liked The DaVinci Code by him, and as it turns out, I am really enjoying this one too... I LOVE a great suspense filled novel.

Like I said, not much to report. Take it easy, have a very relaxing evening all ;)
