Fabulous Friday!

This amazing picture was shot by my wonderful daughter-in-law, Crystal. This past week, Forbes magazine ran an article on the company that my son works for and they used Crystal's photos! Wow! I am impressed! You can see more of her amazing work here: sevensphoto.com  be sure to click on her blog.

Last Thursday Gigi and I went to Columbus to celebrate her birthday. We shopped at our favorite stores on 23, then went to Polaris looking for good food. Omgoodness, did we find it! Smokey Bones, need I say more. No, but I will.

Yummy breadsticks with dipping sauces;

We ate it all but one breadstick! So good.

I found the perfect gift for such a wonderful friend at Home Goods. We love that store!

What the Heehaw? Did you guess fabric? Yep! My ever so smart sister-in-law Janie came up with a brilliant way to store fabric. She cut off hanging files, folded fabric over each half and boom; the perfect solution to a growing addiction ,problem stash. She and two of her sisters used file cabinets. I didn't have a file cabinet and it has been too cold to dumpster dive so I decided to go with these stackable hanging files. I like that they are portable .

I was able to get 30 pieces of fabric in each one.

This makes it so much easier to match fabrics.

Did I mention that I found them on Clarance clearance at Targee'?

Now on a much more important note: My ever so sweet Daddy is having surgery , Monday morning in Ashville N. Carolina. We will be leaving on Sunday to meet him at the hospital. Please pray that everything turns out ok! Oh, how I love this man!

Photographer Extraordinaire

No, not me! My amazing daughter-in-law and her magnificent assistant, my son, have started their own photography business. I knew that they were good but I didn't know just how good. That is until I watched as they did a fashion shoot. Wow! I mean WOW! Crystal was in her zone! She was shooting the most amazing shots.

It didn't hurt that she was shooting the most gorgeous model, Laura.

To see the photos that Crystal took of Laura and many other amazing photos visit their website at http://www.sevensphoto.com/.  Crystal has a knack for catching the personality of a child like no other!

Click on her blog and check out the picture of the curly haired cutie. Don't forget to leave her a comment. We all love us some comments! Be sure and click on fashion in her gallery to see more of Laura.

Happy hunting!  ~Robin~

Our youngest princess

While taking pictures of Addie in aprons, Crystal captured this precious moment!

My bucket list

This Sunday I was able to mark one thing off of my bucket list. No I did not jump out of a moving airplane! I have an Etsy shop! Oh how I dreamed of this day. My own little shop to sell some of the sweet little things I make, so that I can buy more fabric and make more sweet things. Sounds like a vicious circle doesn't it!

First I must thank my photographer, my lovely daughter-in-law Crystal, she shot and edited a zillion pictures. Our little model ,who made Crystal's job much easier, worked the camera. Thank you Addy! You rock!

Last but not least my ever so patient son, Shannon, the family computer expert that we use and abuse. I love you all more than you can possibly comprehend.

I can't believe it! I have an Etsy shop. Yea! I am still doing the happy dance!

Thank you sssssssssssssssoooooooooooo much, Crystal, Addy and Shannon!
