My Cutie

My 3 year old loves to sing.

She makes up her own songs like "Pj don't be scared, don't be scared, I am on the swing" when her cousin was scared to go on the swings and the ever popular "wash, wash, wash" song when she was washing the bathtub.
I had to laugh this evening though because we still use a baby monitor and from her room you could hear
"I'm chillin' on a dirt road, laid back like I'm George Jones"
"ice cold beer in console"
She is so funny sometimes.

Like last night when she was asking about babies
Emily: "Mama, how did I get in your tummy before I been borned?" (Yup, borned)
Me: "How do you think Emily?"
Emily: "Maybe you thought I was chicken"
I tried not to laugh because she's little sensitive but that was too cute.

This afternoon I took her with me to Marshall's and I was trying on shoes. She started yelling "they don't match, you have 2 different ones on." It was so funny. Oh and at the bank she had on her Minnie Mouse sunglasses and the tellers were saying how cute she looked.
She looks up at me and says "why are they talking to me"
Me: "because they like your glasses"
Emily: "well they can't have 'em."

Here is the start to a necklace I am working on. I have been drawn to eggs and birds lately. I am not sure if it because it feels like spring here, because we had a little baby Cardinal born in the bush outside our door or if it just because I love birds. I have been working with a graphic designer to revamp my logo, which is 2 birds. When my daughter was a baby she had the tiniest mouth which she would open like a little bird when she was hungry. So my little birds began. My business has grown and so has my vision for my business so I wanted a more upscale logo. I will unveil the new logo soon.

 Here are the beads I was sent for the Echo Creative Club. They are stunning! I am not sure if I will make 2 thing, 1 with the yellow beads -earrings perhaps and another with the red or if I will make 1 piece combining them both.

Stop back the 25th and find out :-)

Buttons

Here she is all ready to go to the Stormville Antique and Flea Market

She loves to go shopping and especially loves Stormville. She find really cute things too!

We went on Saturday and it was Hot! The cool part was the TV station HGTV was there filming for a show Flea Market Finds. I can't wait to see the show because everywhere we went that day there was someone with a camera. I was pouting though because a cabinet I wanted was bought by the show :-(

I didn't buy this tool chest but isn't it cool? We must have walked by it 20 times.

I scored this awesome tin of old buttons and have been having so much fun filtering through.

See the buckle like piece in the back? There were about 5 or 6 of those, they are Mother of Pearl and I am envisioning layering them with some etched copper... hmmm

and here is my cutie again, she wanted to show off her Leopard when she saw I was taking pictures of the buttons she said take my picture mommy. 

Hope you are having a great week!
