Has anyone seen January?

I mean I lost it, really could this be well into February already?? Crazy, just crazy.  January is a big blur of birthdays x3  :)   and pneumonia x4 :(

And the weather, well this picture is before the 12 more inches that are piling up right now! That my friends was the mere 24 inches we had the other day.

No school.... three days now.

It kind of goes like this

play in snow, hot cocoa, bake something, sew a little, cook, eat, repeat :)

I had big plans on a New Years post with a picture a month....more for me to look back on than anything else but seems kind of silly...now that it's February!!! So I made a New Years collage, good enough.

Check in with me on Valentines Day. Plan to give something away....hopefully something I've made but if not then some fabric even though I know you're tired of me giving away fabric ;)

There's some great new stuff coming in...just listed Sugar in my shop. It's a pretty colorful line for spring/summer. Has me thinking of windows open, fresh air, and trips to the ice cream shop....in my flip flops! There's some new 2D Zoo colors and a great line, Wheels, that is fun for the little guys. My little guy, the one up there in the picture with no coat out in the snow (bad mommy), is getting a shirt made out of the 2D Zoo, he's crazy for elephants :)

That's about it for now, I'll leave you with a picture of something I've been sewing, a skirt for my niece, pretty and girly, just like her...

Yum!

And MORE Snow!!

Hi there.... popping in with a few more snowy pictures to help cool off my friends in Australia, crazy hot over there! Our kids had three 2 hour delays this week and school was cancelled for today :)

Luckily I followed the salt truck the whole way to the post office and was able to get my orders out.

Be back soon with some sneak peeks of new fabrics coming out and hopefully my New Year's post....while the year is still new!!

The snowy kids

Winner Winner Spaghetti Dinner Part 2

Thanks so much for warming my heart with all your kind words. You did come back, you did! And thanks for all the birthday wishes for our little guy, so sweet of you. He's outside right now enjoying some snow fun with his siblings.

And to answer a couple questions I was asked...my blog banner is a photo of a bowl that sits next to my desk, just a bunch of vintage goodies for inspiration. Right now it holds some Christmas pretties. 

And someone commented on my profile that they didn't know what "anthro" was. Well here you go, www.anthropologie.com, best store. ever.

And a winner, yes, the winner. Randomly chosen by a random kid asked to pick a random number. No need for the Random Number Generator website here :)

Our winner is Susana, who commented,

See? Way more than two!

Happy birthday to your little one!
Something nice: my baby girl (she's just shy of one) just waved hi to your boy's picture.

Congratulations Susana, I will be in touch!!

And thank you again everyone...I'm inspired to post more now that I know you're out there.

Here are a few more snippets of Christmas around our house. Enjoy the last few days of preparation...I'm off to make hot cocoa for some snowy kids.

xoxo
