Independence Day 2014

    Happy Fourth of July! 
 It's been a busy few weeks, school getting out, parties, concerts, kids art fair prep. And my last round of bad chemo now finally behind me.
Yay!
 I've been down and out, this last round,  but still managed to push myself to get some things done, which shows you that cancer does not stop people entirely. 
You can get through it and still live life and have fun.
 I'm happy that the worst is over and now I can start to re-build and move on even tho I still have a few procedures left to go through, like surgery, and radiation but I'm creating, and enjoying summer with my kids.....hope you are having a great Fourth of July and summer too!

The pants that sparked an idea.....

It's no secret that I love the thrift stores, and recycling. It's how I find sweaters to felt and transform into pillows. So this past week had me poking my head in there to see what they had to Inspire me.
I brought my daughter along, so we naturally had to go over into the kids section to take a peek there too.
It was there that I spotted these amazing little red baby pants with an embroidered bird on them.
I about died.

Cutest .pants .ever.

Since I no longer have babies, I didn't
Need them, but felt I couldn't just leave them!
It was those little red pants that Sparked an idea!
I decided it would be a great idea to
Have a small rack of gently used baby and toddler clothes at my shop.

Most parents don't have the time to hunt for these beautiful clothes at the thrift shops because honestly, you really do have to look and sift through a ton of stuff.
But maybe I could do it!
So I started my search for good things.
Things with character, nice brands,
Good cloth and color.

I brought them home, had them freshly laundered and sweet smelling, pressed them and hung them up.
Some I've sewn little appliqués to them adding a little more character and fun.
It's a little idea I'm running with
Hope you like it.


It's those red pants,
They got me going, now if only they came in adult sizes :-)
Which reminds me, I'm working on some of those too, select adult sweaters with felt patches on them
Pictures to come soon!
so on that note,
I'm back to work, yes, even on a Sunday! 
thanks for stopping by and taking a peek  :)
