Poor Sick Baby

Just thought I would mention that my 5 month old daughter is quite sick, so that constitutes my lack of involvement lately with my blog and street teams. We took her to the pediatrician Saturday when they said it was just a little cold. We took her to the ER Last night and according to the doctor, she is on the verge of having fluid in her lungs.

1 tb Butter
4 tb Cream
Pie crust; uncooked

Mix the brown sugar, flour, butter and cream. Pour the mixture into an uncooked pie crust, covering the top with woven strips of pastry dough, if desired.
Bake at 400F for about 30 minutes.

Featured Etsy Blogger : Baby Friendly Beads

So bear with me as I attempt my first one of these for The EtsyBlogger Street Team.

Baby Friendly Beads

I have to say that I would love one! I am not breastfeeding, but I love the look. I actually left the site up to one that I like so that hubby gets an idea for a Christmas gift. Thinking about it, I could actually use one of these with my daughter so the does not pinch me while I am holding her. But enough about me...
These are not only beautiful pieces of jewelery, they're functional too. The necklace enables the baby's focus to be diverted. So no more pinching and pulling at mommy's hair. The reminder bracelets help track nursing sessions.

"Sturdy and stylish, Baby Friendly Beads are perfect for anybody who spends time with kids. "

Thanks Aunt Karen

I see my Aunt Karen about once a year, and I love the products that she makes (I especially love the soap, face wash and healing salve). I have used nothing but her home/hand made soap for about a year, it's the only soap that I use on Freedom. Well today, she has inadvertently branched her products out into a new direction. Or rather, I did for her. I used her Goat's Milk Soap to make myself some homemade laundry detergent. I will be testing it out tomorrow.

Lady Bugs!

So here is something new...
Hair Clippies!
Made with double prong metal clips and the cutest lady bug embellishments.
Check them out in my etsy shop.

I also made some cute clippie holders.
Just working on the photography aspect of them and trying to get them listed.

My First Ever Treasury!

I was featured in a treasury for voting in a contest.
Clik here to check it out.

Possibly

I am about to submit an application for a craft show.
It's a small local one. I am hoping that I will be able to do. Excited because it's my first one, but also scared/intimidated at the same time.
So off to work on some craftiness.

So I am addicted to owls.

I was just thinking about my home decor and realized how many owls I have in my house. I was obviously born in the wrong decade.
So I was thinking that I needed something to show my love for owls OUTSIDE the house.
I did a quick search of the "cafemom team" and now I feel that I need to get my butt in gear and sell some stuff to buy more things for me. The last 4 purchases were all for my daughter.
