What I Wore Wednesday

Its been such a miserable week weather-wise. Rain Rain Rain. But - on the sewing front - its been amazingly productive. Amazing. Ended up finishing 8 orders yesterday.  One included 20 teeny tiny monsters.  Can't believe it, but I don't have another one of those pending.  They have been selling like crazy in the shop.  This morning I have a diaper bag to cut - then some ruffle pants & a lounge set for two of my fave clients!  Addison & Jackson.  You probably don't know, but Miss Emma & Addison are BEST FRIEND PEN PALS!  Cutest thing.  There mama has been one of my clients from the get go {3 Years!}.  I am not sure how she found BB&CP but, I sure am glad.  She has become one of my BEST ONLINE FRIENDS.  Its always amazing the friendships that I have created from my business & blog!  I {Heart} You guys!  Eachone of you.

Ok!  Here is me today!  - Rocking a travel mug full of COFFEE.

Took the littles - a few tries to get a picture of me.  Head to Toe. Not blurry.  They sorta got it. ha. Alright.  Gotta run! Time for the bus.  

 Happy Wednesday!!

Weekend RePlay {Weekend #4 on the Market!}

Thursday night we had our scrimmage & lost. But it was competitive & fun! Its so crazy with all of our select players on different teams for rec league. Us Moms are cheering for BOTH teams. Too funny. Cody & Carson {opposite teams!!} giving each other high fives! One on the bag the other playing second. Funny Stuff. 

Saturday morning, bright & early kicked us the Spring Baseball Season with two pre season games! We WON our game!  

Sunday we surprised the littles - took them out to the movies.  I squeezed in some sewing time & got the camera bag done.  I am so excited about it.  No really.  I love it.  Sometimes I make something, and really amaze myself.  This is one of those times.... Check it out!  Padded with 1 inch foam.  Snaps to keep the camera snug. Swivel Clip Straps - Adjustable & Removable.  Three exterior elastic pockets. Its delicious in this rainbow chevron print by Robert Kaufman. Love Love Love IT! 


So.  Seriously how has it been  4 weeks {on wed.} on the market already?  We haven't given up keeping the place clean & ready to be shown, but Mr. L is starting to give up hope.  The stats show our house should sell in 3 months.  We are only 1/3 of the way there.  This is our first weekend since being on the market that the house has not had a showing.  Ugh.  We did however have a showing scheduled for Monday.  It happened.  They bought a house they had looked at earlier in the day.  Double ugh.   To make matters worse, our friends in Durham county are selling their home, its pretty much our houses twin, just add a garage.  They got an offer this weekend.  Triple Ugh.  {Yay for them.  Enjoy your rental living till the house is built in September. hehe.}  

So I am totally hoping - best case scenario our house sells in June.  It will give us time to finish out the school year & get relocated to a RENTAL, blah, in Raleigh & be ready to start school there... That would be just to freakin' ideal.  Wouldn't it?

Alright - its back to my machine!  I have 21 monsters to stuff.  Trying to beat the mail lady. Ready. Set. Sew. 

 

What I Wore Wednesday

Chilly morning today - but supposed to be up in the 80s this afternoon! Going to enjoy it, this crazy spring we are having has us back to the 60s again the next few days. I am suffering through allergies & weather changes. Drank a big ol' glass of emergen-c last night in hopes to kill this cold I feel coming on. It didn't work.   Please don't mind my just woke up look - I just woke up!  Trying to get my blogging done early today.  And - oh!  I still can't get up high on The Pleated Poppy's linky list!  Ugh. I made it in at 128.

Weekend RePlay

Third week on the market - one house showing this weekend, no feedback as of yet.  House is still somehow staying clean, but not the sewing area.  I mean its not super dirty... and I always put things away when a showing comes up, but its a workspace, so yeah!  Hoping this week ahead brings showings & lots of productivity.  Keeping the house in order & having to stay flexible with the showings has made me a little less productive work wise.  But - I am not too far behind.  I am currently stitching up monsters on the embroidery machine.  Six for one order & 12 for another.  Busy, busy!  These monsters are super popular in the shop right now! 

 

This week I had an order to try something new --- I adjusted my own tote pattern a bit to create this cinched purse.  I love it.  Such a fun new look.  And of course its chevrons.  Mhmm.  There are a few more of these in my future & perhaps a pattern one day soon too!  What do you think of it?





Of course you know we had a busy weekend full of baseball!  Friday we went to a birthday party for a couple of boys from the team.  A limo ride to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park was the highlight, being that the game was rained out.  

Oh!  And how could I forget?  My Birthday!  And Mr. L & I celebrated 10 Years Married.  Where did the time go?  And how is it that the littles rode in a limo on my birthday & anniversary?  ;)

Saturday & Sunday we had away games in Smithfield/Selma area.  First win of the season with Knightdale Select!  Woot.   Proud of our Knightdale boys! 

-- Lets make this week super productive --

 

What I Wore Wednesday

It a chilly morning, so I have my sweater on for the bus stop run - but its going to be in the 80s today, so I am rockin' the new skirt! I love it. What do you all think?  Found a clover patch in my side yard - might be a four leaf clover in there... somewhere. :)  Would you all believe it, I started this day off with a killer headache - straight to vomiting?  Working on my first cup of coffee, iced, now and feeling much better.  A little sunshine & coffee.  That's what I need.
