Things I Don't Understand, Part Two

Hobbies where the best
you can hope for
is to not die.

This is my hobby and it's
enough excitement for me.
Usually I don't feel like I'm in
imminent danger of death.Although sometimes Foster gets tired of me moving him and he bites me.And I did actually sew through my own finger once.

But usually, my hobby is relaxing and fun.
And when I'm done, I have something to show for it besides being dead.


These just don't look either fun OR relaxing.

They just look like death waiting to happen.

Am I right?

The Gorgeous Milleigh!!

Wow, just look at her EYES!!
It's hard to concentrate on the Halloween tote, LOL!
Still taking orders for this year, probably through this weekend...

First Cute Comment of the School Year

By one of my little boys, while waiting endlessly for his late bus,
"Do you think my bus is at the movies?"

LOL, NO. And I don't think the bus DRIVER is at the movies, either!
This might be faster, though!

Fan Mail for The Tooth Fairy!

Don't you just love it when something unexpected makes your day!?!
You may remember that we include a personalized letter from The Tooth Fairy with every purchase of a Tooth Fairy Pillow.

Well, imagine our surprise and delight when I found The Tooth Fairy found this envelope in our mailbox!! This is the back of the envelope. Note the carefully-drawn hearts and triangles! Inside was a letter from the two little sisters for whom The Tooth Fairy had made the Tooth Fairy Pillows in the picture at the top.

The letter was ADORABLE! The girls wanted to know how I knew The Tooth Fairy knew each of their favorite colors.

They also wanted to know if I like The Tooth Fairy likes paper airplanes, LOL. (When The Tooth Fairy sends a personalized letter with the Tooth Pillow, she folds the letter into a triangle. Not because she likes paper airplanes, but maybe because the triangle shape reminds her of a tooth?? After all, she's a FAIRY and is pretty inexplicable in the first place.)

You know that I teach school, so you can imagine that both The Tooth Fairy and I were very happy that those children are WRITING!! We were also delighted that they took the time to decorate the envelope with hearts and, our favorite...triangles!

I have to run now. The Tooth Fairy wants me to help her write a letter in reply!

Cute Stuff!

Okay, I promised you cuteness and I'm about to deliver it! I've been cranking out kiddie oven mitts and hot pads! I have a couple more designs to go, but here is a sampling of the designs I've made so far:

Three sets of butterflies.

One set of ladybugs so far.

Four sets of piggies...2 on purple and 2 on lime.

(The colors are off. The piggie hot pad is a dark purple and the ladybugs are on a bright lime green.)

I'm going to make placemats and napkins to coordinate with them. Cassie and I are doing a craft show later this month...she's bringing play food and I'm bringing these things to go along with it.

I think just about ANY little girl would be delighted to find these in her Christmas stocking, don't you?

I'm glad you could stop by to visit! Come back soon, okay?
