Halloween Decorations - Entertaining using pumpkins
So this is kinda like decorating but I thought it deserved its own category since these show different ways to use pumpkins while you entertain. So fun and creative!

Sewing for Baby - Halloween Costumes
Originally I didn't think I really needed a Halloween costume for my little lady. I figured I could put her in the pumpkin outfit from her great Aunt and she would be all set. Then I started seeing cute costumes all over the place (mainly pinterest because that is where I spend all of my free time). Now I think I must have a costume for her. I haven't found exactly what I want for a newborn so I am working on my own creation. While I work here are a few pictures I found for future costume inspiration.

Strange Purses #8
Today's strange purse comes to us from Lunacy Boutique. This site is full of fun and crazy stuff, I am sure I can go back to find more bags and purses that fit into the category of this post. But for now we will look at the telephone bag.
A bit crazy, a bit strange but it is a lot of fun. I can't see myself ever carrying this bag around but it has a bit of whimsy the I like. If I was 12 again I would be in love with this bag. I love the alternative handle, I'm a sucker for crazy purse straps and handles.

2 becomes 3
I can't believe it's been over 2 weeks since my little lady arrived. Everyone told me the time would fly and it's true, I swear she is getting bigger every day.

Building your business - blogs I like
Someday I hope to make my crafting and sewing into more of a real business and money maker. I don't plan to be the next Martha Stewart but it would be nice to be able to quit my day job, stay home with my kids and still provide income for my family. There are millions of blogs and books out there about how to do this, these are my two favorite blogs that I have found. Their posts are always relevant and written so that anyone can understand them. They cover real topics and I learn something every time I visit their site.
Check them out when you have time:

Sewing for Baby - Diaper Bag
I have been doing a lot of sewing for the new little lady who's on her way. First up is kinda for me and kinda for her - the diaper bag! I knew I wanted to make my own bag but I did a lot of searching around online to pull inspiration from bits and pieces of other bags that I liked.
2 Large exterior pockets on the front and back, 2 pockets on the side to hold diapers and other odds and ends. Then there are 4 pockets on the inside for more bits. A set of shoulder straps and a removable across the body strap will hopefully make it easy to use in any situation.
The exterior fabric is Amy Butler from her Soul Blossoms Home Dec collection. It has leather piping and a leather base.
I had a great time figuring out the size and dimensions and getting all the pieces together. Hopefully it will work out well for the baby and me!

Fun ribbon project!
Love these, they look super easy to make. Would be great for hair clips, shoe clips, a broach, really the possibilities are endless. Check out Marthastewart.com for the instructions and a few other ribbon projects.

Strange Purses #7
So I have been a little behind on my strange purse post that was supposed to be a monthly event but has been MIA for the past few months. Well, don't fear because I found a new strange purse, I think I might actually call this purse flat out ugly. I am not a huge fan of designer purses to begin with. I think they are usually overpriced and people are just trying to show off by purchasing one. I would rather have 100 $30 purses rather than one $3,000 purse, but maybe that's just me. I am sure that I would never be in line for this bag.
The Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork bag was released back in 2007 but even now, 4 years later it is still horrible. The bag cost over $52,000. This bag is crazy ugly and I can't believe that people would actually be tricked into purchasing this just because of the logo on the bag. Here are a few photos to show of the true ugliness of the bag.
I think it even looks more ridiculous seeing someone actually carrying it.

Obsession Confession - Pinterest
It's official, I'm addicted to Pinterest. I will admit I can spend hours getting lost online, viewing different blogs and websites but now it is worse, much worse. Ever since I discovered Pinterest I can't log onto my computer without checking it out. As soon as the site loads you are tempted with amazing photos and new ideas. Then you click on a category and there is just no stopping me, I'm lost in wonderland and I love it. Are you on Pinterest? Do you get lost for hours on end? If not, I highly recommend it but let it be known, you have been warned - you will become addicted!
I did a little test and logged onto a fresh page on Pinterest to see how many lovable photos I could find in just a few minutes. Too many to count, but here are a few:
