Baking day!

Monday was BAKING DAY!

The monkeys and I went over to Natalie's house and we baked cookies all day.

The kiddos had a blast decorating the sugar cookies...

We also made chocolate button cookies, peppermint bark, and thumbprint cookies.

We were baking ANIMALS!!!

Speaking of animals...

...Bigsby even (reluctantly) donned his Santa suit for the occasion.

We are making a gingerbread house, tonight.

And Mister Christmas is bringing us a SURPRISE dinner!

Hope you are all staying WARM and FESTIVE. 

These two.

These pups are so funny.

So crazy.

So sweet.

I've been missing them, lately.  

We are looking forward to lots o' playtime and snuggle time with them over the winter break.

Going out to do the LAST of my holiday shopping!

Have a marvelous day!!

Welcome, November!!

I hope you all had a frightful and delightful Halloween!

We had so much fun  TRICK-OR-TREATING!

After preparing for the not-so-chilly evening's walk with a little

"Starbecky's,"

we headed out into the SPOOOOOOOOOKY night to collect some treats.

I was so inspired by all of the jack-o-lanterns we saw along the way!

The boys got some SERIOUS loot!

Bigsby even put on his monster costume for the evening. :)

Alas, Halloween is over, much to my monkeys' dismay.

On to MY favorite holidays!!!! 

Happy November, everyone!!

Keeping that under-bite warm and cozy

The cold weather has finally caught up to us.  Tomorrow, it will be snowing.

I have to make sure Bigsby stays all warm and cozy so...

...I couldn't resist taking about a hundred photos of him in his new fall sweater 

by Martha Stewart...

...and I could have taken a hundred more.

Doesn't he just look adorably ferocious?

He's a vicious beast...who shivers. :)

Stay warm, my friends!

Ittie Bitties

.

Bigsby and I spent the day in the studio.  I made a bed for him out of this little Coca Cola box.  He loved it.

  

I've had a rough couple of days so it took me a while to get the "creative juices" flowing.  

Once I started, I couldn't stop...

 and boy, did I have fun!

I am calling them "ittie bitties."

They are little pieces of Fern and Sprout flare that will brighten up any back-to-school outfit, or fall blazer.

And of course, you can wear them in your hair 

and on your shoes, too. 

They kinda remind me of vintage enamel pins (only made of felt.)

Each piece is only about 1/2 - 2 inches wide.

I want to eat them like CANDY!

Please - send me some feedback!  I would love to know what you think!

Gypsy Farm Market

Bigsby and I are sitting on a bench outside one of my favorite places,

Pajama Baking Company,

right down the street from my studio.  

It's beautiful outside right now.

I am excited to tell you about my next event!!!

I will be sharing a booth with my "partner in crime," 

MISTER CHRISTMAS!

I will have lots o' new designs as well as my new "Gypsy" collection - to be sold exclusively at this event.  

Mister Christmas will have lots o' new goodies, as well.

And we will be selling our goods out of our vintage Airstream!

 We're going to try to make it really cute!

And, the boys and I are taking a trip to...

We are sooooooooooo looking forward to some fun "COUSINT" time!!!!  That's coming up very soon!

Stay tuned for a preview of the "Gypsy" collection, and more exciting happenings.  Have a delightful Friday.
