Thank you to Allsorts!! This elf pattern almost made me fall down. Love it! Here is my tribute to the wee little elf.
I love the simpleness of this shoe, I love the little felt bobble on the toe, and I love the little embroidered flowers. I see this as gift potential for the ladies at work.

Make do we did! Emma wanted to “make something else” for Dad, Christmas, whatever! She was not to be stopped. So, [...]

Fall is certainly coloring our world. It is so magical when the leaves do begin to turn and the tree lined streets almost stop traffic. My daughter loves the cooler weather and loves photography even more. These are her views of the beauty of Fall.
I think she caught the beauty of the season.
Great job Sara!

It’s started. You know what we’re talking about: Christmas trees in department stores, not-so-subtle ads everywhere, a deluge of catalogs and the nagging feeling that you should get to work and at least think about holiday gifts. We have the answer for holiday gift-giving this year, or at least the inspiration and a few (100+) [...]
