A rebirth of sorts

Over the past year, I’ve sat here in front of my laptop so many times, just as I do now, with the intention to write… something, anything… but the words failed me over and over again. Rather than do nothing, I’d tinker with the site – making a few changes here and there… adding and removing …

Sneak Peek

Something that I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time now, is add a little more variety in both my shop here and on Etsy. I started working on new products last fall, but life happened and quite honestly, I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to add them to the shop at the time. It’s a new year now and new goals have been made…

Why hello there September!

It’s finally beginning to feel like fall here in the Midwest. Last week’s heatwave has thankfully left us, and after a few stormy days, we are now blessed with sunny skies and temps in the mid 70’s – perfection in my book!

I was so excited to receive my first order through my very own shop here on this site last week!! I had tested and tested and tested everything before launching the shop feature, but there was always still that off chance that something wouldn’t work right… but it did and I’m so happy!!

I’m so happy to announce the addition of the Noby Designs shop to this site!

I’ve wanted to have an independent place to sell totes (and more), but have been afraid to make the move because it was such a big move to make!

Meet Big Belly Ellie!

Big Belly Ellie is here and ready to conquer the world! She’s been a little shy lately, but has decided that it’s finally time to make new friends.

Stomp, Stomp, Stomp!

Over the past few months, I haven’t been able to sew as often as I like, since I now have one child who doesn’t nap and two others who refuse to sleep at the same time.

Rambling

Obviously sitting down to pre-write posts isn’t working out so well. This past week has been filled with such a mix of things. Last Thursday I took the kids to the pediatrician for flu shots, a check up {Noah’s 4 year… I’m only 3 months behind} and the latest set of vaccinations. Needless to say, it was inevitable that at least 1 of my children would have a reaction to the shots… and it was Noah. The poor kid’s temp started rising Thursday evening and he didn’t break it until sometime on Sunday.
