So let me just start by saying that Tegan can throw a fit like I have never seen before. If you take it away, move the wrong way or say the wrong thing he will let you know. Well he is definitely a creature of habit thanks to his beautiful and perfect mom(hold your comments)....that would be me. The other day he was wanting something to drink with his snack. Well he always drinks juice at this time of day and only at this time of day. The rest of the day is all milk. Even though I still water down his juice I didn't want him drinking it that day b/c he has a horrible rash from the antibiotics for his double ear infections that he still got after having tubes put in....oh wait, we weren't talking about that. Anyways his little bum was red, swollen and looking pretty painful so I was thinking that juice with acid in it may burn. Apparently Tegan didn't get the memo or he just didn't care. Everyday he drinks his juice from one of the same two cups which weirdly are completely different from the look and brand of his milk cups...weird I know but I have created a monster. So I got him the cup and put just water in it thinking I could trick the kid. He took one drink and literally threw the cup across the room. In the video below he is standing at the counter where we keep the cups at and wanting a new one b/c that one didn't have juice in it. Well I finally did put the smallest amount of juice ever in the cup but by this point he was just mad and didn't believe me. The fit lasted for about 5 (felt like 20) minutes and I only caught the very end on video. Notice how he knocks the cup over out of meanness. Also notice at the end when he decides to give it one more try and like magic....everything was right in the little bubble world of Tegan. This was a very mild fit and not nearly as bad as when it started but I thought the end where he picks up the cup and realizes and run was just to cute not to post! Enjoy!

It's starting
I hope this means something but last night I had my first two sells from my new fabric etsy shop! I am so excited. It's funny that now that I have a pretty good business going on in my other etsy shop that it is nothing to sell something from there but to get new sells from a new shop is so exciting!
Sorry....just had to share!

I did it! I did it!
O.k so I am breaking free from the clutter and separating my etsy shops. I now have a separate fabric shop!





I have to admit that I have already forgotten how much work it is to set up a shop. I have been very (and by very I truly mean that) slowly moving my fabric listings from my Polka Dot Pixie Shop and also listing some new fabrics I have gotten in.
No luck yet! I just started setting things up on Friday night so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will start getting some sells. Just one sell would make me happy today!!!
I couldn't decide so I decided that it wouldn't hurt to just try to split the craft and the fabric up. It just seems like a lot of clutter in my craft shop and I want people to really see a clean and consistent store. Does that make since??? So does anyone want to buy some fabric????
Oh...the name SIMPLE FABRICS
www.simplefabrics.etsy.com
Sort of a spin off from this blog.
Check out my etsy mini on the side!

What have you made today...
I've been very busy sewing the past few weeks with lots of orders from people. I just had to show you just a few of the things I have made.

I did this great pillowcase dress for Ivey!

You can actually buy one of these on etsy right now!



The two above are baby sets with a matching car seat blanket (which means it is perfect size for a car seat or stroller), burp cloth and bib set! Love it!

Thinking of Stellan and MckMama

I just want everyone to take some time to remember and send up a few words for MckMama (who is having a hard time) and Stellan (who is having an even harder time).
Looking at that baby's precious face in the picture above just breaks my heart. Things are becoming drawn out and not correcting itself as quickly as possible. MckMama is sick, tired and growing weary and needs as many thoughts and prayers as she can get. If you are a mother...just think of how helpless she must feel b/c she can't just fix him!
Loving these...
Since I have gotten so behind on everything and haven't found the perfect weekly feature I am going to use this post instead of my feature this week.
I recently made a trade with another etisian and am soooo pleased with the final result.



I know these aren't the best pics and doesn't show how beautiful these tags really are but hey, I was trying to do it while a 19 month old was steadily trying to grab them...we are just lucky there are no little fingers in the picture.
I think everyone who has any sort of craft that you make money from should have some super cute tags! Let's show some love and all stop by Karisma's Scrappin and Craft Corner
