all-in-one

I like lots of things about these candles - the color choices (the 3 in the picture are screaming "fall" at me). no floofy scents, just beeswax. the simplicity, no candlestick holders involved. i'll take a pair in orange for my mantel please. or brown, or grey...i can't decide!

Guess what this dress used to be?

Made using this tutorial.

can't hold it

Remember when you were pregnant and had to find a bathroom asap, almost every hour of the day? Or you just have an extremely small bladder? Well, technology has caught up to help you - just download the free Have2P app to your iPhone for easy access to a listing of nearby available restrooms. Pretty handy for toddler potty training too!

Teachers Pet Cardi, Simple Tee and Poppy Skirt GIVEAWAY!!!!

How could you pass up this giveaway with that huge flower?! The things this lady makes are amazing!

too much sewing

I've been living at my sewing machine lately, so I might as well make this pretty flower I've had bookmarked for awhile. It's meant for a ring pillow, but I want it for a brooch or accent on a handbag or skirt...something.
