Mini Ironing Board!!!

The one thing to make my sewing area complete was a mini ironing board so that I can sew and turn and press seams, and sew again.  Here are some cute pictures of it.  I took some insubright in the middle and used a stable gun on the bottom to hold it in place.  It even has little feet on it - my FIL made it fit for me!!

Upcoming

Hi! A lot has been going on this summer and so our blog has sprung a couple of cobwebs. No need to fear, we are still around.  

I was ready to type up and post my great review for the item I received from CSNstores.com, but I left my camera at my mom's house and can't get it yet and so I have to wait.  Sorry guys! I guess that's what happens when you are 9 weeks pregnant... You get prego brain and forget everything.

My husband recently started up again on work for a two month job. Even though its only two months, we are excited.  In fact, we decided last year when he was laid off that with his first working paycheck, we would take Jesse to Disneyland for the first time.  We will be going there on Saturday and we are getting excited! I definitely need my camera back before Saturday.

Because there has been a lot going on lately, we havent worked on any major projects, but I wanted you to know we aren't gone forever! We are still here and will be posting more soon.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer and enjoying the Great Outdoors.

Have a fabulous day!

Cards for a Cause

Dani over at Craft Rookie is amazing!  Her friends, Stewart and Ciera (click on their name to read their story) are going through a tough time, and Dani is helping out. Stewart has a heart condition and needs to raise money to afford a trip to Minnesota as well as the hospital bills that will pile up from the trip.

Dani has decided to sell these:

for $3.00 each, as well as sponsor spots on her blog. All proceeds will go to Stewart and Ciera and help raise the $10,000 they will need for this trip.   This is a big task, so if you want to donate more you can always donate to their paypal account on either theirs or Dani's blog.  

I'm glad that Stewart and Ciera have the blog community to spread the word and help them.  They can't do it on their own and we can make great friends on the internet-- we all know that.  Please check out Craft Rookie and look at her fabulous cards!
