Patriotic Ideas

I love holidays!  I know that some would criticize the commercialism of our holidays, but for me, the decorations, festive clothing, and traditions just magnify the celebration.  So here are a few items I love to complement our celebration and appreciation of our freedoms in the USA.  :)  You better believe I'll be sporting the red, white, and blue!  

Patriotic Petals from Doodle Design Shop can be worn as a pin or hair clip for big & little girls:

Warehouse Sale - SATURDAY

One last reminder about the warehouse sale Saturday 10-4. The address is 2575 Kelley Point Parkway in Edmond, OK. For you locals, it's on the west side of Kelley between 33rd & 15th. We're in an empty portion of a super-nice office building. You're in for a treat--lots of great local Okie small businesses.

AWESOME Cleaner

I've told some of you about one of my favorite stain-fighting cleaners. My grandma introduced me to AWESOME, a multi-purpose cleaner that you can buy, of all places, at the Dollar Tree. That's right for only $1.00 this wonderful solution can be yours too! I use it most often on laundry; my uncle uses it to clean his hog trailer--go figure.


Last night I also discovered that it also removes the letters C-I-A-N-N-E in pink crayon from bed sheets! It truly lives up to its name--AWESOME!

This Week

This weekend I'll be at the Tee for the Soul Warehouse Sale here in Edmond.  It's Saturday from 10am-4pm at 2575 Kelley Point Parkway (off Kelley between 33rd & 15th).  Come browse my shop as well as some other very talented local vendors!

Also, Tip Junkie has some great giveaways this week.  I am a mom-prenuer on Laurie's fun site.  Be sure to check it out this week.  

Yay for Summer!

I've been neglecting my blog for good reason.  We've been really enjoying the beginning of summer...Memorial Day with college friends, weddings, swimming, cousins moving across the street, playdates, a trip to Alabama to see dear friends, mother-son cowboy BBQ...and I've still managed to do a few sewing projects in the midst of all the fun.  

Here's a picture of Corben and I from the mother-son Cowboy BBQ at church this week.  (BTW, Jill Jones amazes me!)

Speaking of cowboys, here's one project I did this week, which will soon finds its home in Japan!

Teacher Gifts Too!

Due to popular demand, the tea towel sale has been extended through the end of the month.  These make great teacher gifts.  So show your teacher how "blessed" your child has been with these cute kitchen accessories.  You can get two of the cross towels for $12 or personalize your second towel with a name or initial.

Last Minute Gift Idea

Being the last-minute sort of gal that I am, I thought I'd throw out a last-minute special for Mother's Day.  Order a set of tea towels for a special woman you know--2 for $12 (reg. $8.00 each).  One towel has an animal print appliqued cross with "Blessed" embroidered across the center.  The second towel can be personalized for any mom or grandma (i.e. Nana's Kitchen, Mimi's Kitchen, or (my personal favorite) JoMama's Kitchen).

Also, you can order a MOM apron for $15.00.  This applique includes bright springy colors with a splash of zebra and rhinestone accents.

Email me to order.  Please order by midnight Wednesday if items need to be shipped (will use Priority Mail).  For local pick-up, please order by midnight Thursday, May 7 to receive yours in time for Mother's Day.
