Have fun and good luck!

My baby grows up...

Valley Momma sent her little man to his first day of pre-school today. :) Here he is... all grown up like. :)

August/September Contest

Ok. I really don't know what to offer up as a prize for this next contest... so why don't you all leave me comments suggesting what I could give as a prize? I'll hold the drawing on October 1 and see who wins. If the winner's suggestion is reasonable (of course! I'm crazy, not stupid!) then the winner may get what they've suggested! If it's not deemed reasonable (please be reasonable, people!) then I'll decide on a different prize for the winner from other people's suggestions. :)

So here's what ya need to do... leave a comment to this blog entry suggesting what you'd like to see me give as prize (prizes) in this giveaway. Then you're entered... simple! It doesn't have to be something that I already make... I'm pretty handy with the sewing machine, so if there's something you'd like to see made, but I don't currently make, go ahead and suggest it! New items are fun!

Good luck! (oh, please leave an email address or another way for me to contact you if you are the winner!)

Mini-Contest

Hi... just a quick contest because I'm in the mood for something fun... The first person who correctly leaves a comment saying where exactly I am in the following pictures will get $5 off their purchase in my shop. Happy guessing! (this picture was taken on 8/16/08)

UPDATE: We have a winner... thank you babycartlidge! You must have done some good Googling to figure that out! "Foamhenge" in Natural Bridge, VA. :) hehe

My new T-Shirts!

Ok, so I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new t-shirts! I put in an Alchemy request for custom screenprinted t-shirts for me to wear out and about and at my craft shows... and the first bid I got was the one I ended up choosing... I sent them the shirts and they printed them right away! Got them in the mail today and I'm in love! Check out what a great job they did...

If you ever need something done quick and done well check out Precision Engraving on etsy. They are wonderful! They even have wall decals that are reasonably priced and very very stylin'!

Let me know what ya think of the new shirts!

July Winner

Hey -- I know, I'm a slacker... but I finally drew the name for the July Contest and the winner was Misty! She thought a good name for my sewing machine would be "Bessie." I think that's an awesome name and congratulations Misty on winning the toddler/travel pillow!

I'm going to post the August/September combined contest here in the next week or so. I'm trying to determine a really nifty prize. :)

Stay tuned!

Oh - Tuesday was my birthday and I got a SERGER! I'm so excited about that! I can't wait to learn how to use and make new and exciting things I couldn't make before!

Batmania...

Here in the Valley Momma house I am surrounded by the world of comics. My hubby loves him some superheroes. He likes his graphic novels, comics and all that stuff. As such he has introduced this love to my son. :) Friday was of course, opening day for the "Dark Knight" Batman movie. We went to see it... LOVED it. VERY VERY good! Go see it if you can... it's by far the best movie I have seen in a very very long time!

Anyhoo - my hubby wore his Batman t-shirt that day and to the movie (yes, he's THAT guy). My son asked "where's MY Batman shirt?" - to which we answered, you don't have one, buddy. So, I got an idea and made him one out of some scrap black fabric and one of his white hanes undershirts. :)

This pic has nothing to do with my post, but I couldn't leave Miss Nikki out of the blog. :) This is me and her at the local fireman's carnival here last week. :) My headband and necklace were Etsy purchases! I LOVE them! Seriously, if you want a great headband at a great price you need to check out the shop I got mine from. I have like 6 of them! It's the SewFoxyBoutique... Go there... NOW!
