Spring Into Action

I guess a Friday post is my blogging style, so here it goes...our weekly recap.

The crafting continues. LoLo is completely preoccupied with sand, bugs, rocks, sticks, dirt, flowers, dogs and everything outside, so I am free to paint and make a mess of my very own.

I have been churning out faux vintage signs thanks to my Silhouette Cameo (this thing is amazing!), lots of inspiration from Pinterest and DaDa the handy man. We have a new gift store in town, The Mom and Pop Shop, where the owner has generously agreed to display my goods. I hope a few sell, it would be awesome to contribute to the bottom line once in a while.

 

I also hand crafted a few owl friends for the shop. Aren't they cute?

 

I also wanted to make Lo something for her Easter basket. The kid has 101 stuffed animals that we must drag around everywhere, so I searched for a smaller more portable option. She loves pillows, dolls, and mammies (blankets) too, so this little pocket size companion was the perfect solution. Another great Pinterest find, I created my own before realizing the pattern is available through this Etsy shop.

We also squeezed in several park trips and cupcakes at Funky Fairy Antiques. It is spring and we are in full swing. No offers on the house yet, but we are hopeful the new season will get people moving (literally). 

Peppi is coming into town this weekend and we are all very excited. Shhhh, its her birthday and the celebration is on...decorations, fun filled outings and sweet treats. I am so proud of her, she recently became a Registered Medical Diagnostic Sonographer, so she has cool letters behind her name and a professional career helping others. Very impressive since I can't even stomach the thought of anything hospital related. Lo loves her Peppi and she will love singing Happy Birthday a million times over the next few days.

As families come together this weekend, give your lovies an extra long hug and let them know you love them!
