So, I have decided to have a "Fun Friday" sale every Friday :)  This week's feature is the Mystery Bag of hair goodies.  Let's face it.  I make stuff ALL THE TIME!  More than my own child is ever going to wear.  Of course, she wants to keep all of it for herself but that just isn't going to happen.  When I am sitting down to create, she is generally right there investigating.  Every now and then I hear "Is that for me, Mommy?"  I have finally given in and agreed to let her "shop" after the Fall Festival tomorrow.  She can pick what she wants that didn't sell.  The look on her face was priceless!  I know what she has been eyeing.  I'm hoping we can make it into a learning experience.  I might actually give her a few dollars for her to make her purchases.  I know it's just the same as me making it for her, but I really want my kids to understand the value of a dollar.  I'm hoping that they will remember all of the hours and hard work I have poured into my little business so that they can have the "extras". They do help with packaging, cleaning up my snippets, getting me a cup of coffee, stamping notes, etc.  But is it enough to help them be successful later in life?  I sure hope so.   

The challenge was to sew for 1 hour a day for a week.  Well here is what I created!  A fall scrappy skirt!!!  So glad a customer grabbed this up :)  Thanks M.!  And in just 1 hour I created the Bug a pink penguin T-shirt dress.  Try to make a point to try something new every once in a while.  You just might surprise yourself...I know I did!

I absolutely LOVE Halloween.  It's probably my most favorite holiday EVER.  I love the way pumpkins look in pictures with my kids.  I never get a bad shot.  It might be the awesome natural lighting this time of year or something.  I don't know but whatever it is, I love it.  I have been making some bows trying to capture some "Halloweenish style"  What do you think of when Halloween comes around? Candy is probably my family's first thought.  My husband certainly doesn't help matters with bringing a sweet or two home from grocery shopping.  Yes, my husband does the shopping. It just works out this way.  Anyway, my favorite candy at Halloween as a kid was candy corn.  So I made a candy corn inspired bow.  Probably the cutest thing I have ever made!
