A Sad Day

RIP

Buster

1995-2010

So today was a very sad day for me. My dog Buster was put to sleep this afternoon at 4:00. He had been my companion for the past 15 years. What a hard decision to make, but ultimately I believe that it was the right one. Tonight for the first time in 16 years I do not have a doggie sleeping in my room. Keith and I often play with Matthew by pretending to "fake cry", this afternoon when Keith left with my Buster I was crying and Matthew was laughing away thinking I was playing a game with him. When he finally realized that it wasn't a fake cry, he said "Mommy, stop tearing, stop tearing" then he proceeded to go into the kitchen, get a napkin and come back and wipe my face. Wow how that helped!

On a lighter note, I am hoping to meet with Drew tomorrow barring any unforeseen mishaps and HOPEFULLY we can get my site up and running. Check back soon!

It's Official...

Ok - it is apparent that I am not the best blogger....but I am gonna try harder to keep up with this. There is surely something that I can be consistant with, right? Have had a couple of busy weeks. Two Mondays ago, I had a little car accident, thanks and praise to God that I was not hurt and the kids and Keith weren't with me. That same afternoon when I picked Kendall up from school they said that she had fallen with her "boyfriend" Tyler and had me sign a little accident report. As the day worn on my motherly instinct told me that something wasn't right with her. A doctor visit and an X-ray confirmed that she had a broken collar bone. Again thanks and praise to God that is was not displaced and she just had to wear a brace and sling for a couple of weeks. After that she came down with an ear infection and has been sick for over a week. Then of course I got it. So good reasons to have not kept up with my blogging. And finally here we are well into Spring Break. I was worried about 5 full days with 2 kids that are constantly fighting, but it has been a pretty good week. We took a trip to Tampa on Monday with Grandma for lunch and some shopping, then to Lakeland's Common Ground Park on Tuesday and to Busch Gardens today.

I will be meeting with Drew (my website builder) tomorrow morning and I am hoping that the site will be up and running in the next few days. I am really excited, it is looking super cute.

Have finished up a couple of orders and have several waiting to be completed. Again thanks to God that I have steady orders coming in - not too many and not too few.

Check back soon, hope to have exciting news about my new site.

Had a good craft show on Saturday. I was pleased with the purchases and orders that I received. I was also very thankful for all of the kind words that people had for my creations. The top seller as "That's MY pillow" (photo attached). Well I must stop blogging and get to sewing. Have a great day!!

A day of preparing

Worked today on getting everything in order for tomorrows craft show. I am hoping that I am finally going to find the right group of people for the things I love to make.

A rough couple of days...

Have had a couple of rough days with the kids. My little guy is so often upset, and it really makes me sad. On a brighter note, I had a sneak peek at my new website this morning. WOW I am so excited for it to be up and running. I am attaching a photo of what Drew created for me and again I have to say that he does amazing work. Hoping to actually have it up on Friday. :-)

Day 2 -

Spent today working on a new purse pattern. There was alot of cutting to do, but the finished product turned out really cute. I think I will do some modifications on the next one to make things easier for myself. I am posting a picture of another new bag pattern that I put together last week. It is a super cute finished product, and there are so many possiblities since the pattern calls for 4 different fabric choices. Counting down to Wednesday for my first peek at my new website.

Trying to get it together

My first official post to my new blog...

I have decided to change the name of my "little business". What was That's Too Cute will soon be That's Sew Sassy. Several reasons for the change, but hopefully it will be a change which will get my business really up and running. I have come to realize that I definitely have no future in any type of computer tech business, therefore I have enlisted the help of Drew Satmary of Spectra Marketing Solutions (and my dear friend Erica Catlin's brother). Drew is working, as we speak, on designing a logo for That's Sew Sassy and also building a website. Check back soon for updates.
