Trees Down and New Ebay Listings are Up

Last Sunday we had a terrible wind storm. The winds were so strong it knocked out a lot of folks' electricity. In fact when I went into town yesterday, there were several traffic lights not working still. We were one of the lucky ones since our electricity never went off, but I have a few friends who have been without electricity for over 3 days now! I saw that the wind blew vinyl siding and roof shingles off of many homes. And there were so many trees that were either broken or completely down. I have never seen anything like it! I took a few pictures yesterday of the giant tree in my neighbor's yard that was blown over roots and all!!



Last night I listed the Fairy Flower Scarf and Hat on Ebay.

Bada*Blingg Tutu Costumes

Xiera and Zella LOVED modeling these adorable tutu costumes for Tawnya of Bada*Blingg. You can also read her blog HERE.
Xiera modeled the Witch Set! Her favorite part of the set is the furry little spider dangling on the tutu!



Zella made the cutest clown in this next set! The balloon props kept popping every time they hit the grass so that is why Zella is holding broken balloon remains!! LOL!

A Shower For A Sweet Baby To Be

I just adore Baby Showers! And what could be even more fun than a baby shower? Why a little girl baby shower of course!!! All the sweet little outfits, sleepers, booties, hats, bottles, lotions, baby products, sweet picture frames and the color Pink!!!! My Sister in Law, Jessie had her Baby Shower today. She is expecting a baby girl in December. She looked so adorable this evening. She has that mommy-to-be glow that I so dearly miss! Zella is going to have her very own partner in crime very soon!! ;)

I got her this BEAUTIFUL diaper bag with matching changing mat made by Stacy of Cloud Dust.

Isn't the fabric just YUMMY? I am going to have to get myself one of these very soon!!! Perhaps in a mommy purse size.....hmmmmmm.... :)
Jessie LOVED the Diaper Bag along with everyone else at the shower!! It was a HUGE hit!!

A Butterfly Convention, and Sharing my Scarf Set

The girls and I were playing outside. We enjoy taking walks through our neighbor's 5 acres. Well we were walking along and were excited to see this!

Doesn't it look like they are all huddled together having some kind of butterfly convention? LOL!!
Thor the goat got out again!! He was wandering around and when he saw us, he thought he would come to say hi and then try to nibble on our clothes!!!

He has a face only his mother could love! ;)
I also got my pics back of the adorable Spenser modeling my scarf and hat set made to match a set made by San of

First Day

Yesterday Xiera had her first day of Preschool! She was so excited! I was a little nervous but was really happy for her. Since there isn't any children for her to play with because we live out in the country, I knew this would be great for her socially! She only goes twice a week for 2 1/2 hours. I was able to get caught up with a few chores and spend a little one on one with Zelly Belly and then it was time to go and get Miss Xiera from school. She was so excited to see us and had a lot of pretty little things she made to share with us. My little girl is getting so big! I am just so proud of her! I didn't get my camera back yet so I had to borrow my MIL's camera. I couldn't miss photographing this BIG day!

Did You Miss Me?

What a WEEK!!! Let's see, where do I begin? Well late last week I was uploading pictures from my camera and was called into the bathroom to assist Xiera. I left my camera on my computer desk since it was still in the process of uploading onto my computer. I come back and find Zella holding my camera. I told Zella to give the camera to mommy and she takes one look at me, smiles and throws my camera onto the kitchen floor lens first!!! So now my camera won't focus and turns on and off constantly! We already sent it in to be fixed so I am hoping and praying that they can fix it. Then our internet service was acting wacky all week long!! Some things wouldn't even load up and other times it was slower than dial up!! I was ready to scream!!! The Time Warner guy came out yesterday and had to run a new line since the other one was bad! A week with no camera or internet!! You know I was going through massive withdraws. At least I was able to get caught up with a lot of orders.

Look at my Hungry Caterpillar Hat being modeled by the adorable Elle!!!

It looks so adorable on her!! I have to say I love her caterpillar prop too!
And here is Alex in my Jack Hat! I just love her eyes! This is Xiera's new fave too!

I will be listing these in my Etsy store soon!

Here is a pretty little scarf and hat set I made to match a set made by San of Boutiqueprincessnbows. I already sent it off to be modeled but snapped a few pics of Xiera modeling it. This was right before Zella broke my camera BTW.


O and I never did get to share the beautiful sets Xiera modeled for Francoise of Francoise*Studio.


Aren't they both just the cutest?
And look at these cute bracelets Xiera modeled for Nicki of Tiny Tot Jewelry! Here is a close up shot!

And here is a collage of a few others!


I hope everyone has a fun and relaxing Labor Day weekend!

Our Little Nick Vacation

Yesterday Hubby and I took the girls to Kings Island! The girls had a blast! They saw their favorite Nick characters like Sponge Bob, Patrick, Dora, Diego, and Pablo from The Backyardigans. Zella rode her very first ride without mommy or daddy. She paired up with Xiera and drove the little car on the track! Can you tell, they LOVED it?

Xiera riding in Blue with her friend Maddie.

Here are a few pics of the girls having a blast with their favorite Nick characters.
and yep, that is me holding Zella visiting with Sponge Bob.

Here is a little video of Zella and me hanging out with Patrick jamming to the ICarly theme song. I catch myself singing that song almost daily!

Xiera rode her very first kiddie roller coaster with mommy and let's just say she was not too fond of it, but said today that she would maybe go on it again. My little thrill seeker!! ;)

Want to see what hubby and I rode on???

It is called the FireHawk! You get in like a normal roller coaster, but then it reclines all the way onto your back. You lie on your back looking up at the sky so you don't see the 63 feet drop ahead that you go down BACKWARDS and then you flip so it looks like you are about to fly straight into the ground!!!! Yeah...I can say, I did this...and LOVED it!!!!!!
