I've been making.

My sister in law, Lori, and I are participating in the Candy Cottage Holiday Market this coming Monday at Rocky Hill Elementary School. So I've been buried in MAKING STUFF!!

Hooray! It's been a while. Here are some of the things I will be selling:

The paper cuttings will be available for custom orders (your own quote around 5-6 words on the 5x7 hearts) at the Market. I will have 4 of the Grinch Christmas quote cuttings for sale there, but the rest will be done at home and delivered by December 16th. (Frames not included.) (I can take 30 orders, so if I don't get that many at the market I'll let you guys order some in that shop I've ignored.)

I've got a bunch of bags and aprons, too. And some rice bags (to warm your toes) and some table runners and some cute little girl flannel skirts. I'll post some pictures of those this weekend.

The market is from 4-8pm at Rocky Hill Elementary School on Monday, November 28th - if you live in Knoxville and you wanna come.

And if you see something on my blog that you don't see at the market, just ask while you're there and we'll see what we can do. Depending on how many orders I've gotten. I want to spend my December drinking sparkling apple cider and eating bon bons by the tree in my $6 Old Navy jammies and fuzzy slippers while listening to Bing Crosby croon the season away. so I'm limiting special orders. You understand.

Cassy's Puny Party.

I am interrupting this blog drought to share with you yet another awesome party by my amazing sister Cassy. May I introduce, the Puny Party...

My nephew turned one, so of course she had the perfect party planned, complete with tiny door and 18 tiny 3 layer cakes. Yes, I said 18.

You have to go here to see all the amazing details.

And her KungFu party.

And the Tangled party.

I love her.

Oh, and here is just a quick picture of her Justice League costumes this year, THAT SHE MADE!!

Tea

I got an email a while ago asking if I was interested in some clothes from
Tea Collection.

Uh...yes please and Thankyou.

I can't tell you how much I love these clothes. They're affordable (clearance section) and they are such good quality! Much softer than our typical Target purchases. My new very favorite place for children's clothing. I feel like a fashion goob for not knowing anything about them before.

But here is what I love most about our Tea clothes:

These are Joey's French Terry Cargo shorts (they have pants, too) for $14.50. He wore them every day until it got cold, and now they wait on the stairs for him to get home and change into his "most awesome shorts called tea", as they have been rightfully dubbed.

Usually Joey's "bottoms" only last a month or so until we have holes in the bum and the knees (due to the obvious ninja lifestyle he leads), but these babies are going strong!!

And they've kept their color and softness after being washed 50 ga-million times.
Seriously. ga-million.

We love them. We need more.
And we need to convince Joey to start standing on his feet. maybe.
