It's a beautiful fall day and this is the perfect downtempo track to listen to while sitting back and soaking up some sunshine.

Fab Pick of Last Week

Piper and Paisley is a little piece of hat lovers' heaven! I'm a sucker for cute caps and there are so many lovely bits for your lid found in this etsy shop that I had trouble choosing just one for the Fab Pick. Pop over to get a closer look at the lovely designs and let me know which is your fav!

Keeping Track of Memories

I have attempted to journal on many occasions and I usually fail miserably. I started for the 8 billionth time two weeks ago and I'm actually on a roll (for me), not writing daily but a few times each week and I'm hoping to keep it up.

Today while touring Orange Beautiful I came across this brilliant journal: One Line A Day. This is a five year journal with enough space to write one memory each day.

This little gem has been added to my Christmas wish list: Oh Miiiiike! :)

Mermaid Sushi

A new design by Gingham Skies: reusable double sided cloth napkins!

These puppies are 10 x 12" when unfolded and sport a funky sushi print on one side with mermaids, octopi and sea turtles on the other.




Hop over to my etsy shop for more details or send me an email with a custom order request: ginghamskies@gmail.com

A gift for Andrew Alan

Little Andrew Alan needs a welcome to the world gift and since his daddy is a DJ we decided music notes would be appropriate.

A fleece backed blankie will keep the wee man warm this winter.


My first attempt at applique on a stretch cotton and I'm pretty pleased with the result.


I hope Andrew likes his gift!

Whooga Ugg Boots Giveaway

There's a stellar giveaway over at Whooga Ugg Boots. The contest is open to anyone in any country; there is a pair of Uggs being given away monthly! Thanks Eterknity for posting this fab find.

Fab Pick of Last Week

Eterknity has done it again! This time their Cabled Sweater Shrugs have caught my eye. I have had the pleasure of trying this beauty on and it's ultra comfy: the perfect little shrug to keep you warm without all the bulk of a traditional sweater. I can't decide which colour I prefer, the jade is stunning!


Check out the shrugs in Eterknity's Bargain Boutique shop but don't stop there, the ladies have a slew of stunning new designs found in their other etsy shop.

Life is good and I am HAPPY

One Day...

One beautiful day in the who-knows-how-long-from-now future I will be a mommy AND one day I will cut up my babies clothes (as they grow out of them). Why in the world will I cut them? To create a baby clothes quilt like Hillary Lang from Wee Wonderfuls has done.

I love how she cut pieces with details like ruffles, pockets and buttons!


Maybe I'll make two: one for Mike and I to curl up with our peanut on cold winter nights and one to be tucked away for a gift for my future grown-up baby.
