WIP!

Hello Everyone,
I have been one busy lady lately! I woke up one day and just couldn't stand looking at all of the storage containers of fabric that I have. Honestly, they were messy too. Fabric just squished down into them. I had been Blog Stalking late at night (something I do very often) and saw an idea for organizing fabric using comic book boards. You roll your fabric around these boards to make mini bolts. So I ordered them and got started. This was no small job...it took me an entire week. Of course what takes me a week, would take someone else a day or two at the most. I only get a few minutes here or there to myself. Here are some pictures of what I did:

When I am finished it is going to look like my own little Quilt Shop :)  While I was rolling the bolts, I was also folding and stacking  my fat quarters. Well now what am I going to do with all of these, I thought to myself. So I went to Target and looked at some storage ideas and found this, and filled it...

They are not really organized my color as I would like but I did it in a few minutes with the little Princess helping (shoving them in any where lol). I must admit that I am having trouble with the fabrics that have multi colors..Where do they go? How do I organize them? If you have an idea PLEASE PLEASE leave me a comment.

What do you think?

Hi Everyone,
I am really liking my new Blog Template...I won it from Adori Graphics on April Showers Blog. I think it is so cute. I am still tweeking things but so far so good!
On the home front I am feeling much better. Not great but better...I am planning a Surprise 43rd Birthday Party for my brother Dwight. He has been my best friend, confidant, and rock when I needed it. We have been through SO much together and I want to do this to show him how much I love and appreciate him in my life!

Today I am working on some cute Hair Clips and sewing a few pillows for fun! I will add pictures later. It is a rainy day here in PA..perfect time to get some cleaning and odds and ends done!
As always, thanks for reading!!

Chilly and Chillin'

Wooo Whooo it is COLD outside....

I don't really like to be cold but I love the cold weather season....Does that make sense??lol

I couldn't live without winter completely but I would like to experience Fall first. It is getting cold to quickly. I decided to take some time away from the business and relax and then business picked up....Murphy's Law right?!

So here I sit with the hubby watching the Nascar race on tv and making Holiday Hair Clippies for a sizeable wholesale order that needs to ship first thing on Monday.

I have been sewing my buns off making Christmas Ornaments and Tooth Fairy Pillows.

Please keep checking my shops for the new holiday products I will be adding. Oh and I added my Little Pags Boutique Facebook page here to the right, click on it and add yourself as a fan to follow my business updates and be entered to win a free product!!!

Thanks for reading,

Anniversary Weekend!!!!

Well this Saturday is our wedding anniversay! 5 wonderful years of non stop happiness!!!! Yeah, right, who am I kidding. We have had more troubles then most (the loss of a child, his "friend" embezzeled all the money from his company and left us holding the IRS issues, the ups and downs of raising his, mine and ours, then his leaving and not speaking to him, child support, loss of our log cabin on 10 acres and our vehicles etc..but we remain strong through it all.. He is my best friend! We will probably just stay at home like we always do and celebrate with a glass of wine and a big fat kiss!LOL

I decided on the Heart Bowl Fillers for the February Giveaway!

I will post the rules for the contest in my next post! I will run the contest the first week of February. These bowl fillers are handmade by me. The actual bowl fillers that you receive may differ from those pictured here. They may differ in sayings and colors.

I wanted to take a moment and tell you about a product I received in my Out of the Box Sampler. It was from a Company called Twist of Taste. She also has a Etsy Shop. Her Chocolate breakaways and Covered Pretzels are to die for. I emailed her to let her know that we loved it and will be back for more. Turns out she lives right near me too. Check out her products it is worth the look www.twistoftaste.etsy.com and also go to www.outoftheboxsampler.com to see what Michelle has in store for Februarys box.

I also have a few other things that I have purchased from Etsy sellers that I would like to tell you about: I got the most adorable necklases (one for me and one for Ava) from Reillybelle shop. Here is the link to the necklace http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15715107.

The other was an adorable Diaper Bag from Cutestitch's Etsy shop. Here is link to the bag I got http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20039035 her prices are great and I love the personalization of name, hair color etc...

Until next time enjoy your weekend everyone;)

Finally! Getting Back to Norm.

Wow things have been crazy around here. Unfortunately my entire family came down with that horrible virus that has been going around. I even tried dissinfecting everything after each family member got sick but it didn't work! It has taken me longer to get over it than everyone else in my family. I just starting feeling better from the virus and I got Mastitus AGAIN.... And then diagnosed with PostPartum Arthritis. It is so much fun getting older!!!! And all of this while celebrating my Birthday and then my son Braeden's Birthday.

We are very focused on getting Sean (Private Kindness) ready for his Army training! He has been vigoruosly working out..So much so that he can hardly walk the next day. He is so excited about it and I know he will go far...

On the Business front....I am currently working on Spring designs for hair clippies. I will be adding some Tissue Cozies to my Log Cabin Crafters shop soon. I have been waiting like everyone else who makes children's products for the other shoe to drop. Not sure whether I should be creating things for kids or not. I am hopeful that they will realize what they are doing regarding this law and make the proper changes to it. Though the letters that I have read from State Senators in response to some other crafters concerns has not been very positive...Almost like they are not really listening.. I will have my fingers crossed until then.

I will be doing monthly giveaways...So please check back often. And speaking of Giveaways...I want to Congratulate Michelle of Out of the Box Sampler for winning my credit card wallet. Michelle it is on it's way to you...enjoy!
