Happy October!

Hello Fall! 

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. at. all. 

Kind of embarrassing!

Here are a few things that have been keeping us busy:

Soccer for M.

 Soccer for A.

 Crafty things for my SHOP, and many upcoming holiday bazaars.

Here I am last night, along with my friend Kandi at our first bazaar of the season.

And............I am now a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant.

It's lots of fun.  :)

Okay, that's a quick wrap up!  Time for dinner. :)

Posh Paisley Shop Blog

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Just a quick post to let you know I had to start a new blog for my Etsy shop! (I was locked out of my old shop blog when we switched Internet providers. Darn!)

The new blog is: http://www.poshpaisleystudio.blogspot.com/

A fun place to visit that is "all things creative and crafty".

My New Etsy Favorite

Somehow I stumbled upon this Etsy shop: TIMELESS VIXEN VINTAGE - and I **love it**!

I wish I had some spare cash and a reason to buy one of these little beauties. This pink one below is one of my favorites. But really, it's hard to pick just one favorite.

So.......here are a few other favorites I picked out. Really, the dresses are just amazing, most from the 1950s, some from the 20s, 40s, 60s, and a few from the 1800s! Their condition is pristine. I can't help but think these could have been worn in a movie or two?

Malia was scrolling through this Etsy shop while I was making dinner, I came back to find that she had somehow added a $420 dress to her "cart". OMG!! Thank goodness she hadn't proceeded to checkout. Apparently she didn't mean to do that.......but still gave me a mini-heart attack. I did check to make sure it was one that I would have actually liked to own. And it was. If only I had $420 to spare 1 month before Christmas - or any month actually.

So, if you have some time, like fun vintage dresses, check out the SHOP. :)

I would have loved to be around in the 50s, and in a lifestyle that would require me to wear these dresses.

Have a great Wednesday.

Trying to Become One with My Sewing Machine

For some of you I'm sure this is pathetic. But, for me, it's a step in the "trying not to be afraid of the sewing machine" direction. I made this potholder for my sister - it was under the gun - before the party at her house last week. It started out a bit bigger, but I had a little issue with layers not being in the right order (ie: batting on the outside when I turned it inside out!). I had to trim off the first batch of stitching and start over.





The ribbon loop is a touch on the big side, but it matched the fabric. I do love these bright fabrics!!

On a different note, if you are in need of Halloween tags or any other paper goods, head on over to my Etsy Shop HERE. :)

Okay, that's all I had to share for now.

Happy Saturday!!!!!

Feeling Posh.............Well, I Mean

CRAFTY!

Here are a few cards & tags I have been working on for the good ol' ETSY SHOP .

Time is what you might call "limited" these days, but I figure a little bit here & there is better than not at all...right?? Alex is hit & miss on naps these days AND he is having a really hard time GETTING to sleep at night (sneaking out of his bed, playing in Malia's room, sneaking downstairs into the computer room, etc. ) Some nights it's almost 2 hours later, and he's still awake. Sometimes I don't even know he is lurking around, then he scares the p@@p out of me when he pops up. I could go on. But I won't.

Well, I'm off to start dinner and get some paper goodies in the POSH PAISLEY Shop.

Have a good night.

Finally.....Some ETSY Love!

Hello! How is everyone? We have all been a little sick this past week, but are now feeling better. I had a rough day the other day......you know you're sick when **any** sound makes your head throb a little harder and **any** sight of food, real life, on a commercial, etc. makes you gag. Ugh. Getting the mail was a chore.........not to mention trying to take care of 3 kids. Thank God that day is over! It makes you really appreciate your good health ! :)

Now that Christmas is over (well, almost......we are doing another "make up" Christmas today with 1/2 of the in-laws)........I have been working on some Valentine treats for my ETSY SHOP! I love hearts, polka dots, red & pink........so I am hoping to get lots of things made and out of my system before it's too late.

Have a great Saturday. I've got to run. Last minute clean up and stuff to do before our guests arrive.
