Hello, All!

Happy Thanksgiving, Happy December, and Happy St. Nick too! Time is zooming by!

I am a week and a half away from being done with school this semester. I started taking classes for a Bookkeeping certificate in August. I have learned so much, but it has taken SO much time! I haven’t been able to do much sewing or anything else for that matter. I did finish the yellow sock monkey I mentioned in my last post, for a customer. Here he/she is:

Tradition Red Heel Sock Monkey – Yellow

I am currently working on a brown sock monkey and a few more things before Christmas. I don’t have many things posted in my online shop or in my Etsy shop at the moment. If there is something I can make for you before Christmas, please shoot me an email. There is still some time before Christmas to create and ship something special for you!

Happy Monday!

November 12, 2019 – Baby, it’s Cold Outside!

We have a bit of a cold snap going on right now. This morning, around 7 am my DH walked up to the thermostat and said, “Wow, guess the temperature.” I thought for a moment, what temperature would be really cold right now? “6?!” He says, “Ok, you must have already seen the thermostat.” I didn’t, and I was surprised. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet and it is pretty darn cold outside.

Keep warm and have a lovely Monday!

October 12, 2019 – Garden Mum Obsession

adminLeave a comment

Every year in June I buy a wee little garden mum plant from Stein’s in West Bend. They always have a coupon special for $1.99 for a little 4-5 inch pot. I plant the mum and we watch it grow all summer long. As Fall approaches, we get excited. The bigger the mum gets, the closer we are to Fall and the “bers”! I have a strange garden mum obsession!
Our mum got nice and big this year. Here she is at her peak, four days ago!

Happy Saturday, All!

October 03, 2019 – Write all the Things Down!!

adminLeave a comment

Someone in one of my Facebook groups shared this quote tonight and I had one of those, “YES! YES! PREACH!”, moments. I KNOW it is vitally important to write ALL the things down. Make a plan. Write the plan down. Follow the plan, ….but, it’s HARD! And that’s why it is worth doing.

Important quote by Robert A. Heinlein

Write all the things down and have a wonderful evening!

September 12, 2019 – Happy Birthday, giggleFritz!

Busy. It’s been busy. I want to just post a little update before I go back to all of the BUSY.

We celebrated my birthday last week, a small celebration with burgers, brats, cake and family. It was small and laid back, just how I LOVE things to be! Here is a picture of the birthday cake I made. It is Pumpkin Torte and it was DELICIOUS! Right before we served it, caramel topping was drizzled over the toasted walnuts and it was perfect. We also added a small scoop of vanilla ice cream for anybody that wanted it. Happy Birthday, Me!

The day after my birthday party my DH and DD went to a Milwaukee Brewer’s game. Close game, but we lost 2-3. It was a great game and I got to see Yelich hit a home run in the 9th! I love being at Miller Park!

We sat right next to the camera guys! Roof closed.

My birthday was rad! The rest of my time has been spent getting used to my Bookkeeping classes and getting my homework done. Also, making dinner, doing laundry, falling asleep on the couch, and all of the other normal shenanigans.

And now I must return to the “BUSY”!

Have a wonderful Thursday!
