train roll up

I am so proud of myself for thinking of this. What was orginally started out as a way to carry my sons millions of pixar CARS cars turned into a way to carry Thomas trains in the take along and wooden series. I am going to be making more of these and some more of the ones for the cars. So what do you think??

a monster for my monster

My oldest son is almost 3 and he's getting to that point where he can't leave the house without a arm full of toys. I am in no way exaggerating. One day we left the house to dinner with 2 Thomas trains (not the little ones the big ones that take c batteries) and this little car roll up i made that had 4 disneys the CARS cars in it. Today we go to leave and he brings his MACK (again from that movie) truck with its trailer!! I have decided it's time he gets a cute tote to carry all these toys with him. So heres the beginning of his tote.

pictures soon to come. cant get them to load for some reason

Some people....

Or should I say some mothers. I love that I can go to this awesome website (www.cafemom.com) and talk to other moms because honestly all my friends are in different places in there lives. I have one friend whose kids are in elementry school (and their girls) and she works full time and then my other great friend doesnt even have kids so nobody knows where I am coming from in my everyday life of BOY toddlerhood.
So as much as I love me some cafemom some of the moms over there are just down right rude. I have never seen so many grown ass women think they are the BEST MOM ON EARTH. Who are they to judge other people much less of mothers? I was reading a question that somebody wrote earlier in the question thread and it was something along the lines of SHOULD TEENAGERS MARRY? That kinda upset me since I was 19 when I got married but then I was reading the replies and I just couldn't believe some of the replies saying if your that age you aren't mature enough to be married and such and it made me rather upset. Sorry but I didn't know there was a certain age that marriage was easy. What age does that come at? 25? 30? 35? No matter how old you are its hard! I think that nowadays divorce is to easy so when shit gets bumpy people go packing there bags because its not some long drawn out process anymore and its more "acceptable"
Sorry about the rant things like that just upset me!

what a week




So I got a custom order on Etsy for a matching scarf, hat, and mitten set with a pretty little ballerina embroidered on them. I went to start and my machine started acting up. Well comes to find out my timing was off then I need to adjust my bobbin tension. So once it got fixed I got cracking on the set. I have the mittens and scarf done as I am waiting for the hat size. Here's how it looks so far.
I just got some new colors of fleece and hoping to add some mittens to my store soon. They were so much fun to make!!!

gotta love the cafemom etsy moms!!!!





I belong to this great street team made up of MOMS!!! I was browseing through the moms stores(search cafemom team for some great items) when i remembered that I love dawnberries allergy jewelry. I have a son that is celiac so he can't have wheat, rye, or barley so I know about being nervous someone will feed your child food they shouldnt eat. Here are my favs.
