In case you were wondering about Beth (the camera wiz from the last post) here she is. Yep, she looks just like that. You'd think she'd get tired of being dressed up all the time.Which reminds me...no, there will not be an "elizabeth" doll. I don't think anyone would like a peggie in pajamas with disheveled hair. Unless, I make one that looks like the other elizabeth and not me. Now there's an idea... ... View the Post

Invasion of the Peg People
So, I'm finally doing it...putting items on etsy.My friend Beth, who is a wiz with a camera and all things technical, took the pictures and formatted them so I could upload them to our shop. (Thanks again Beth.) Then this morning I began adding them in.I chose a handful of my favorites (all made after the manner of my family and friends) and those will be the ones I make and sell in my shop. The peggie in the picture above is "Grace" and has white hair and ruffles just like my baby girl Grace.I ... View the Post
Slowing Down
We just returned from spending some time up at Island Park. (A beautiful area up in the Targee National Forest just outside of Yellowstone National Park.)It seemed a fairly inopportune time to go...a cabin trip sandwiched in between the marathon, family weddings, the art show, and country fair that we just completed but right before art camps, the start of the school year (when I start teaching preschool again), and the slew of upcoming boutiques, and more weddings. How could I possibly take ... View the Post

$5 Friday…Baby Bracelets
Gracie is two so technically she isn't a baby anymore but I've been making these for her since she was born so I'll keep calling them baby bracelets.I snapped this picture of her wearing one of her bracelets while she was napping this afternoon. They are made from decorative elastic trim which you can find at almost any fabric store and a button. (I actually think I bought both the trim and button at Jo-Ann's.)To make them just measure your baby's wrist and cut the elastic about 1/4 inch longer ... View the Post
Thanks for the Great Weekend!
Thank you to everyone who came up to Midway for the Country Fair. We had a great time and met a lot of fun people. I can't wait until we are back up there for Swiss Days in September! My brain is overflowing with ideas for new items and decorations.*PS---I am THE WORST at taking pictures. The photos of our booth are both crooked and blurry. This is the only in focus shot I had to post. It is from the peg person corner as I was in the process of setting it up Thursday morning. ... View the Post
