9 months: Stand Up!

My "mature" baby turned 9 months on Saturday. We marked the occasion by having a Captain Morgan Long Island Ice Tea Pour and Party people over for a barbeque. Wow! Since that 6 month mark time has been flying by. What does she like right now? Standing, standing, and more standing. She'…

A Day In My Life

Fabric Scraps D.I.Y.

I saw this over at Fashion Dujour Daily and knew I had to give it a try. I have so many scraps that I've been hoarding  saving just in case I find a small project for them . I have lots of jewelry too that I do not wear. Maybe now that they are joined together I'll wear it more. I like it. I…
