Little Miss Fancy is 6....with Fancy Nancy Euro style!!

We had the most "spectacular" weekend with our Fancy Nancy themed luncheon birthday party! My mom and I made sandwiches of little shapes and added fancy umbrellas and frilly toothpicks. We had "sparkling" juice and played pin the jewel on the tiara. I had all the girls sign the poster ahead of time at school (little job work perks when planning a Kindergarten birthday party :). The girls enjoyed making magic wands and bracelets, and of course making their own parfaits....yum, yum!!! My hubby even got in on the fun for a few moments by dressing in a suit and passing out tiaras to the girls when they arrived! We had a special guest appearance by the girls' very own Kindergarten teacher who....just so happens to be one of my dearest friends :) another job perk when planning a Kindergarten birthday party :) She dressed fancy and was her crazy fun self and helped "fancy" up the girls' nails with polish and nail stickers.

My dad kept the little kids busy in the basement after the girls arrived. And oh....the joy of me having yet another opportunity to get out my senior prom dress....I WILL post pictures in the next few days! I was fancy mommy for sure! One of the sweet girls kept touching my dress and telling me how beautiful it was :) I was rocking in the 90's though!!

So....my biggest baby is now 6. What a beautiful girl we are blessed with. She is so kind, smart and funny! So full of creative energy and reading like a champ! She is such a little thinker and has such love for our family. She is my cuddle bunny and snuggle-puppy and I am the luckiest mama in the world to have such a girl!

Here she is in her Fancy Nancy attire! Just listed HERE!!

Feeling Spring with Euro Frat Animals

Cuddly and soft, funky and sweet! I kept making excuses to walk by this in my studio...maybe the long winter is making me crave something fresh and bright. I went all out on the little details in this fun Euro set. You can see more of this fun set HERE!

Minnie Mouse in Andalucia

I love these lovely fabrics by the sweet and talented Patty Young! I've mixed in some of my other favorite funky mixes for your little Minnie lover! You can view this auction HERE !

Alices' Mad Tea Party in Wonderland and Baby's Chinese adventures continue!!

A little late....but here are two sweet auctions with my two sweet girls that are ending tomorrow. I had a blast chasing Wynter all around! She was obsessed with a little black pot containing goldfish and kept sticking her entire arm in the container! Here is the Alice set number one.

And Alice Set #2! I just adore these sweet Patchy Pants! Find this HERE!!!


And we have been having so much fun following "Baby's" adventures through China both at home and at school! See other posts to find the link to the amazing "journalists" publishing this adventure! Here are just a few of my new favorites! These are cracking us all up!

This was Baby serious about his Ping Pong gear!

Lucky Baby! Seeing Beijing!
This one made me laugh the most! They searched to find a Chinese New Year outfit
for Baby! I'm really wondering what the girls are thinking about this whole thing :)

Baby Goes to China!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. I look forward to posting some holiday pictures when I return home. I am enjoying this break from both sewing and teaching and have been so busy doing fun family things.





I just checked in on Kaden's "Baby" who is currently in route to China. A wonderful family in our town is traveling to China to bring home their two latest blessings. http://jacobsjourneyhome.blogspot.com/ I am fortunate enough to have one of their amazing daughters in my Kindergarten classroom this year, and my class will be following mom and dad's adventure to bring home their TWO new baby sisters. To spice up the journey followings we have added Kaden's baby to their travels. Baby is closely gaining on us in his worldly travels these days. He has been fortunate enough to travel to Costa Rica and St. Lucia, and most recently to see Santa in the North Pole....but this is his first Asian adventure! Stay tuned and happy travels!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Apple of My Eye

My eyes are bleary as I take a break from my next piece...I continue to amaze myself with my happy functionality with barely a wink of sleep and working full time...I continue to vow to sleep more and create less, but it just doesn't seem possible. I am hosting a gathering this Friday and even managed to dust some chandeliers this evening (much to the surprise of DH)!

But...just had to take a break to post a few sweet photos of our outing this past weekend picking out some apples and pumpkins in nearly 80 degree weather. I even managed to make a pie with all our fresh apples.  Happy fall everyone!
