Really Special News !

Our house has been buzzing with excitement! My oldest son proposed to his girlfriend last night! We are all so excited and I am especially happy to finally, after 26 years, to have a daughter! And how cool is it that I get to bypass the toddler stage and early teen years! I am so lucky :-) She will be a wonderful daughter and already fits in well with our immediate and extended family. They haven't set a date yet but there is plenty of time for that. Her ring is beautiful and I will try to share a picture soon. The pictures I have taken were too full of bling and sparkle (not complaining) so rather hard to capture without bright interference.

I have quite a few projects ALMOST finished, therefore zero new items uploaded! I spend way too much time online. First, I catch up on my FB home page which contains updates from all (several hundred) of my favorite & "liked" pages. Sometimes I have to actually click on their link to take advantage of a great deal or get more details on what they've posted. Take for instance, one of my new favorite shops/blogs Savvy Spending Mommas, they have a great website, facebook and blog. They know where all the great deals are!  I think you should check them out and sign up to receive notices.  Everyone could use freebies and rare coupons, etc.   As you can see the result of all my online surfing, the day quickly passes by and then I realize my awesome sewing projects are waiting for me. Well, actually before I think about my projects,
I move onto my Etsy shop, Twitter, and my Blog & make sure they are updated and current.  By this time, several hours have usually gone by.  My favorite blogs all have such good information and in general, Etsy has such talent throughout all their shops! 
Tomorrow my teenage Niece and Nephew from TN are staying with us for the long weekend.  Should be lots of fun!!
Until next time, * Sparkle *

I'm on Twitter ! I hope that's a good thing.

After much encouragement, I re-activated my Twitter account.  I never really "de-activated" it, I just never used it. I didn't really get it. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I get it now but I'll spend some time on it, since I have the time, and see how it goes.  Apparently your username is limited to about 17 characters. Bummer for me since I have 20 characters (and that's without spaces!!) So, my Twitter name is @PinkSparkleLace.
No room for the "And".  Just when I was getting used to it and just when my Blog, Gmail, ETSY and dot com website ALL had that name available! Like I mentioned to my girlfriends Jackie and Rhonda, "Do I really need to worry? Afterall, who would grab those four words and put them together without spaces and call it a business?"
So, if anyone out there Tweets, feel free to look me up and follow me.  Fair warning:  I'm navigationally challenged and cannot be responsible for getting you lost while following me.  Rest assured though, I do go in circles for the most part.

Today was pretty productive....at least for the few hours I was able to be in my sewing room. (When am I allowed to call it a "studio" ? Lol).  I prepared a few projects for sewing and I finished a drool bib made from left over Valentine fabric I purchased for an apron.  Here it is:

 

This is the front.  Cute little hearts! I also sewed an organza ribbon & tied it into a bow.

 

 This is the back side, just a solid pink. And my label that my son made for me! Lucky to have a son that majored in Design, when you need to have something designed!

Well that's it for now.  Happy Blogging or Tweeting or whatever it is that you like to do to fill your extra time.

Until next time, stay Sparkling.
