Today, I got the sweetest suprise......
My niece Haley, gave me this apron that she
made in sewing class
at school.
(I'm kind of diggin' it over the petitcoat, it would make a cute ruffle)
Isn't it darling?????
She picked out fabric she knew I would love,
and I do!



I plan on taking it to the store and using it
when I make candles.
I'm super impressed that she actually
MADE this.
Sewing is one thing I would love to learn to do,
now I know who can teach me!!!
Who knows, maybe I can get her to crank some
out to sell in the store!
Thanks Haley....
I love it and YOU!

Back to Normal......

Things have been absolutely IN-SAAAANE around our home lately.
The month of February is seriously, just a blurr to me.
We spent any and all of our free time at the new shop, beautifying. I am soooooo glad and proud to say that it is completed and we will be open for business TOMOROW, March 2nd at 10 a.m.
In all the chaos going on, our home suffered, BIG TIME! We literally just made sure there were clean clothes to wear and dishes to use.
So yesterday, after church, my family pulled together and cleaned our little hiney's off!

Have you ever let your home go for so long that it almost becomes overwhelming to try and tackle it?????
That is how I felt.

(#4 tote found here )
I was SOOOOOO thankful that my boys and hubs helped me out.
I think they wanted it back to normal just as badly as I did.

(white wreath found here )
It is such a relief that I can go to the store tomorow knowing I can come home to a clean house!!!!!!



I promise to take pictures of the store tomorow and post them.
If your in the area, stop in and see me, I'd love to see ya!
p.s. My mom goes in for her 4 month check-up tomorow, so prayers for cancer FREE would be great!!!!


Have a great Monday!
