I'm outa here!

It's getaway time and I'm leaving this afternoon-YEAHHH! No kids, no worries, and only one meal to fix all weekend. Just mom, grandma, and I crafting away in our p.j.'s and staying up until the crack of dawn doing girly stuff. I plan on sewing until I can't sew anymore and then we can take a break and head down town. There's a couple of really great shops that have the coolest stuff. I plan on making a run to Simply Sandy's to get some shabby cast iron handles. I'm not sure what I'm going to make with them yet but you can never have enough cast iron I say. I hoping to come back with several projects completed and a few things for the Etsy store I'm thinking about starting. I need an outlet for all the stuff I make. I'm running out of crannies for storing my creations!

Today is the last day for soccer and I'm a little sad I'm going to miss their last games so I helped the kids do a gumball project. I got the idea from Hilary Shirley's blog, she's so creative and this is such a cute idea. Jeremy got to hand his out last night and the kids loved them. For the coaches I filled cute midget mason jars with gumballs and tied a tag around the top. So fun, thanks Hilary! Ashlyn gets to pass hers out tonight and because Cody is the coach he's also planning root beer/orange/sprite floats.


Grandma doesn't have a computer so I'll be blog-less all weekend but I'm sure I'll have at least one juicy story and some pictures when I return on Monday. My grandma is soooo colorful so it should be a fun time (or funny at least).

  1. Those turned out so cute!! I was going copy Hilary and do the gumball thing as well but alas---I never got around to it. Oh well there is always next year right? With my luck this weekend I may need to find a store in tri-cities that sells straight jackets. Yup I am pretty sure those would help a bunch! Well have fun sewing & have a FABULOUS weekend! Looking forward to hearing about your "colorful" grannie! :)
