Busy Fun

We had a great weekend around here and pretty sad that tomorrow is Monday…just don’t want the weekend to end. Lots of playing outside this weekend and went to a little festival in Hendersonville.  Josh and I were not that impressed, but the boys loved the balloons and Harper was super excited about riding a pony for the first time.

The pony’s name was Justice, which Josh and I both thought was ironic, considering his circumstance.  But Harper’s face was priceless and the kids had fun and that was good enough for us.

And yes that is a Christmas tree you see painted on Harper’s face…she asked for it specifically.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her!

Saturday was also what I liked the call “the day of key fobs”.  I ended up making over 40 and it felt super fantastic to get them all done, packaged up and ready to head to their new homes.

What about these insanely cute girl scout key fobs?  LOVE the cookie fabric.

And this group of key fobs is headed to Sara in Ohio, Kerry in Murfreesboro, Tn  and Rebecca in Alabama.  I love the cupcake key fob and choice of verse…too sweet.  Thanks so much ladies.

These key fobs are headed to Lisa in Springfield, Tn.  She needed some sweet key fobs for her kiddos teachers.  Love the quote.  Thanks so much Lisa and hope the key fobs are a hit.

And these key fobs are headed to Deb in Colorado, Gina in Knoxville, Tn, Mary in Texas, Angi in Arizona, Nina in Illinois and Heather in Arizona.  Thanks so much ladies.  You guys rock!

Now that is a lot of key fobs.  Can you see why I was so elated to get those knocked out?  So glad they are done!

This next order was placed by Kerry in Murfreesboro, Tn.  Kerry wanted some sweet Russia tees for herself and her girls to sport.  I never get tired of these tees and I so love the black and white damask on black and pink.  Kerry also wanted the 8×10 Adopted art with Russia in the background instead of Africa and an “adopt” tee for herself.  Thank you so much Kerry for your business.  It was too much fun.

These next two 11×14 art pieces were ordered by Tamara in Tennessee.  Tamara wanted one 11×14 Names of Jesus piece and for the other 11×14 she wanted me to use Proverbs 3:5 & 6.  Thanks so much Tamara.  It was awesome to work with you.

And this last order was placed by Mary in Alabama.  Mary sent me some bags that she had bought and wanted me to sew some appliques on.  The first zebra print bag she wanting matching elephant silhouettes and for the purple bag she wanted the state of Alabama and then Africa on the other side.  She also wanted two key fobs and a special burp cloth for a new little baby “l”.  Thanks so much Mary.  Hope everyone enjoys their gifts.

We also have set a date for our big yard sale and bake sale.  Last time with Sol’s adoption we did this and had so much stuff donated we ended up having the yard sale at two locations.  We are hoping for the same turn out again.  We will be yard saling it all day on Friday, October 15th and Saturday, October 16th.  If you have items you would like to donate, we would be more than happy to pick them up.  We are already scheduling pick ups.  And if you would like to bake up some goodies, just shoot me an email and I can get your more details.  Last year my sister-in-law Kim WAY out did herself on the bake sale, but I loved her slogan “If we bake it, they will come.”  If you are a fan of Field of Dreams then you get the quote, but we really did bring in money on baked goods.  People loved it.  And if you could do one thing for us, please pray that the weather will be amazing.  We realize October is pushing it, but with everything else going on, it was the most reasonable date to make sure we have everything ready and organized for buyers.  So please pray for great yard sale weather.  Cannot wait to have our third boy home.  He is going to have so much fun with these two.

Happy Sunday!
