Stash, smiles, and more!

I think Mary Kathryn from Happy Stitcher is so talented! She also owns Handcrafts Online and sells finishing kits for the Crescent Colours/Little House Needlework collaboration kits. I love the fabrics she has chosen, so I ordered the fabrics for Watermelon and Pear, and ordered Apples along with the finishing kit. It came so fast! I was so excited to receive it all in the mail today!

The smiles part of this post is Matthew smiled at me the other day! I couldn't believe it! At first I thought I imagined it, but then he did it again yesterday and today! I'll have to get a picture of it soon!


The more part is I started working for my brother this week. He started a construction company building retaining walls around Florida last year and needed help doing his bookkeeping. So I started helping him. I've only worked about 10 hours whenever Bradley's at school and the other two are taking naps. It's been fun! I'm a computer/accounting nerd, so I love this type of work. Much better than retail! It's a little hard to work from home, so I put the program on my laptop, that way I can escape every once in a while! :)


Well, baby is crying, so I'd better go! Write more later... maybe I'll get to stitch on Watermelon, and have a progress pic to share!
