Little Adventurers!

Hello, Lovelies!  Remember when I told you about The Toy Society?  Well, I had so much fun with it before that I decided to start making things for it again.   I whipped up a quick pattern using some poor man's templates (aka plates) and got to stitching.  I was inspired by a cute pillow I saw on instagram but it ended up looking much different.
The one in the front was from the second time around, but I think I like it better.  Although I do want to experiment with the kerchief idea more.  Just a quick little project, but it gave me lots of practice time with Ol' Bessie.  Perfect for smaller pieces of fabric, too.  I have a ton of fat quarters that I never do anything with, so I see more of these in my future.  I've already prepped some cute little doggie ones!  

These little adventurers will be out in the world soon, hopefully finding wonderful forever homes.  It's supposed to rain for the next few days though, so I'll have to think long and hard about where I'm going to leave them.

Bye, I'm off to play with some new stitchy stuff I got in the mail!

Remember What's Important...

Every once in a while, I get into a funk.  Everything turns into, "I hate this...and I hate that..." I have to stop and reevaluate what's really important.  And I realize I'm just being silly.
A little girl that used to live across the street drew this on the sidewalk this summer.  I got to see it on my daily jaunt over to the big, blue mailbox on the corner.  For some reason, it's really stuck with me.  I think I'm going to get one printed so that I can hang it somewhere as a daily reminder.

Snapshot Friday!

I'm in the mood for something a little cute, maybe even a little sweet.  I'm in a happy-go-lucky sort of mood, so I wanted today's snapshot to be something that makes me smile.  

Here it is-
My man as a little tyke, what a cutie!

Poor guy, I'm always embarrassing him.  I can't take all the credit for making him blush though, I did have a partner in crime.  This photo comes courtesy of his Mom, thanks so much Mama C!!

What's making you smile today?
