♥ Happy Friday♥

Thanks goodness Friday is finally here! This weeks has been so busy and full of fuss! Many orders to fill and chores to fulfill before the holidays arrive. This week in the shop I have added some new little lovely pouches for someone sweet! Above is the two little birds pouch. I love this pouch! It reminds me of the decorations that adorn the Amish barns.

♥

I also made and will probably list today this cute little

kitten pouch! I usually don't make a lot of kitty bags, so this is a special addition. I love how he is so simple compared to some of my more funky pouches.
I think I can hear him purrring!

♥

Oh I almost forgot! I added to the shop yesterday this ity-bity nest brooch! It was quite hard to make but it all came together in the end. I almost kept it for my very self, but new it should go to a new home to hatch!

Have a wonderful Friday my little acorns!

Happy Thursday!

Good morning all my little Ity's! I hope your weekend was filled with crackling fires and hot cocoa! The family and I took a trip to the mall this weekend...beyond crazy! It was packed with people shopping like crazed wolves. I could not believe it was already so packed with Christmas shoppers! My Husband and I walked around the mall twice and left with nothing. This is usually the case because we really only go to window shop and get out of the house.

I did get in some much needed sewing this weekend! I had many orders to fill and at first seemed overwhelmed with all that needed to be done. But I managed to get most of it finished and even fit in some play time. I will be adding some of my new creations through out the week to my shop.

♥

Because this is the time for gift giving and to be thinking of others. I have decided to list some great organizations that are perfect to help out this holiday season!
