Why do I feel like I need a day just to recover from the weekend??

Things are hoppin around Casa de Chicky this week…bags are being packed (dh going to check out St Louis), sewing machines are smokin’, gardens are being planted (I planted begonias in a 50/50 shade-sun area…is that right?)…
I want to transplant some mini rose bushes…is it too late to do that? or do I need to wait until winter?

I am going to be adding some new links this week, so until then, check out this site-it has a TON of crafty tutorials, to make everything from  bags, to aprons, to everything in between…Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Bub!

Wow, Nan sure did a great job with Apronpalooza! I have never seen so many cool aprons in one place before! I am also honored to announce that I have a winner for my Apronpalooza contest, Stacey of Village of Many. She has a beautiful blog that I can’t wait to read more of! I will get your apron off to you this week! I can’t wait to see pictures of you in it! We also added all of the participants to our sidebar, marked with an *, so everyone can get some apron lovin! Don’t forget, if you sell, love, make or just buy aprons, share your site, blog, story, or shop with us-we may feature it in an upcoming post!

I also opened up an etsy shop myself this last week. I don’t have anything but some blog design stuff in it yet, but am hoping to start filling it up this week. I have some cute aprons planned, as well as some bags, cases for ipods & phones, composition book covers, headbands, pincushions, coasters…Whew! I get pooped just looking at that list! I would eventually like to get a regular online shop, but I think that is a bit further down the road…Oh! Here is the link! Fresh~Baked

Eren has an etsy shop too! Since she is in the middle of moving, she might not be adding things right now, but just give her a few weeks! This chica has a great eye for vintage!

OK, back to the sewing machine! Bye for now!

Good morning! Today is the day i am being featured on “Apronpalooza 2007“, so if you’re visiting from there, Welcome! I am just getting my little sewing business off the ground, but I welcome any ideas, advice, and tips you can offer. I am giving away a copy of the apple/pear/polka-dot apron for the festivities-go enter here!

I also wanted to announce the grand opening (can you hear the trumpets?) of my new etsy store! It’s called Fresh~Baked, and while it only has some bloggy design stuff in there right now, I hope to fill it up with all kinds of goodies, starting this weekend!

Ya know, there was something else I was supposed to do this morning, but it escapes me right now…Oh, yeah! The drawing for the Rolling Stones DVD set! Well, since there was only eight entrants, I decided to just write the numbers 1-8 on bits of paper, and draw one…and the winner is:

Friglet!!

Yay!! Send me your address, and I will get that off to you first thing Monday. Congrats!

Well, I better hit that sewing machine if I am going to fill that store up! Have a great weekend, and I will be posting all the festivities with little dood turning 2!
