a jump for joy

I dance, sing a little song, jump, and just make my kids laugh at me for acting like a goof.  And today that is just what I did!

It was so simple.  My jump for joy.  I got my flickr back today! It makes me so happy!  I love the flickr community.  The photos, friends, inspiration.  I have been cut off from it all for almost three weeks.

My hub did some upgrades to my computer.  Which was great, because it was going really slow.  It was Murphy's Law.  Whenever something gets fixed, something else will break down.  My computer forgot my flickr password, and so had I.

But today it is all good.  My kids got to see my little dance, and hear my funny song.  And now I got my flickr back (sounds like a Justin Timberlake song).  So to celebrate with me check out my flickr.  I will be on it all day, probably not getting any other work done.  I'll be sharing a ton of photo's that have been waiting very patiently for their day of flickr fame.

sewing

I have been sewing like crazy! I so love this new organic fabric. It is so soft and a really great quality. I have my favorite pattern, and I am looking forward to the spring release of some new fabrics from Harmony.



I have been sewing so much and not really making it out of the house, I think I'm saving money! My husband must be happy because, I'm not out shopping. Just to buy thread. I even had a sewing dream last night. And then I was at a craft show selling my new organic baby line. I had made a little baby coat with a hood that was really cute. I might have to make one of those in August or September. I think they are so cute with the little baby buttons up the front. I just need to get comfortable with the button holer attachment on my new sewing machine. It should be super easy, right?



My next project will be making some pillowcase items for my friends at Lark Books. I'll tell you more about it later...
But, they are looking for pictures of your pillows and some special memories that you might have about a special pillow in 200 words or less. Just go to their website www.larkbooks.com and click on the Submissions page. If you are featured in their new book you will receive photo credit and get a free book copy.

I've already sent them pictures of my vintage embroidered pillowcase collection. I was so surprised to see how many I had. 18 in all. How did that happen? I'm sure you know how easy it is to buy them when they are just the right price and have such pretty handy work. So, I hope you have fun with it and send them some pictures and maybe even some words.
