{ Bueller......Bueller..... }

Here!
Yes I'm still here I'm just stitching like a mad woman & trying
to finish up Pressed Peony orders. Here is some fabric that is screaming to be made into some flowers.....
Then I took 25 minutes for myself today and made a new header for my blog... I love how simple & fresh it feels, I am SO ready for spring.
And speaking of time to ones self, this is what happens to your embroidery floss when you leave your toddler unattended for 5 minutes....
And yes she is still alive if any of you were wondering,
 bless her little black soul....... :) j/k

FYI: I made my new header in Photoshop for the inquiring minds...

  4. LOVE the new header so much. I am so ready for spring too. Can't wait to get into my garden and get some dirt under my nails. ;) Too funny about the floss. My little 18month old, Chloe, and your Addison could sure get into some trouble!

  5. Love those fabrics~ they will make awesome flowers hun! The header is super cute and perfect for this new season upon us~ way to go girly! I only wish I knew how to use Photoshop. Was it hard to learn or did someone show you some of the ropes?
    And the floss...oh my goodness! I feel your pain as Caroline is like a tornado into any of my stuff as soon as I blink. I swear!

  8. I think Addison needed more time. She didn't have enough time to make the skeins on the right "pretty". When my son was a toddler, I left him alone for a quick run to answer the phone. I had been painting the trim on his bedroom windows blue to match the circus wallpaper I had just put up on the walls. I told him not to touch anything. Came back to find he had painted a big section of wallpaper for me. I didn't have any more wallpaper so I painted a big blue elephant over his work. He was so proud of his work.
