The Lady Cakes

Happy Thanksgiving!


Dear Catherine,

You are my sweet Lady Cakes.

I love your little voice.
I love your curls that can barely hold a bow.
I love how fast your little legs run when you are playing chase.
I love how you hold your Daddy's hand at dinner time.
I love when I go in your room in the morning and you say, "I had a good nap."
I love when you steal my lipgloss and have it all over your face and on your chin.
I love how much you love tutus.
I love how you think pink cowgirl boots go with everything.
I love how you run and hide when it's time to go to bed.
I love how fast you can pedal your bike.
I love when you want to have tea parties.

You are my Lady Cakes.
I am forever grateful for you, my Catherine!
I love you always, as always.
Love,
Mom

 I love how you never give up.



 I love this smiling face!
I love how much you love John Patrick.
You are growing up, my baby girl, and I will always love you!

Happy Thanksgiving!

My little Tom Tom

Happy Thanksgiving!


Dear John Patrick,

You melt my heart.

I love when you wake me up in the morning and want to cuddle on the couch.
I love how proud you are of yourself everytime you get yourself dressed.
I love how you LOVE your cowboy boots and wear them almost everyday.
I love how you tell your Daddy you are getting big just like him.
I love your giggle when you're being tickled.
I love how you like to help Daddy doing "hard work" in the garden.
I love how you want to kiss your little sister, Catherine, goodnight every night.

I love that you want 3 kisses before you go to bed.
I love when you quote the movie, Robinhood, and say, "I love your more than life itself."

I love you always, as always.
Love, Mom



 I love watching you grow up and be a good friend and brother.
 This Thanksgiving, I am incredibly grateful for you, my sweet man!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Tea for Two - Rose Pillows


The Thank You Pillows

My friend Rebecca (CLICK HERE to see her blog) just started sewing a few weeks, but if you saw her blog you would think she's been sewing for years. She has already made curtains, clothes for her children, a Halloween costumes (the lion tamer), recovered chairs, made pillows, monogrammed anything in sight (napkins, table runners, dresses, ornaments) that she is complete inspiration to me!
*Pillow Tutorial coming soon...

 She made these in 2 days!
Sock Monkey Pajamas! HOW CUTE!?!



To know someone with that much talent never gets old! She's always surprsing me with her new ideas. And to top off that talent, I call her, "The most Southern person I know." She's from Birmingham, has a love for pearls, hosts great parties, cooks amazingly and her house is always immaculate!

Well if that isn't enough, she's super sweet! My fabric bins in my sewing room were overflowing with fabric. I had leftover fabric from projects that wasn't enough to make a skirt for my little girl but too much to throw away. Well last week I cleared out the bins and purged so much fabric that it felt great! Well since Rebecca loves sewing and appliqueing I gave it all to her. She thought it was like Christmas came early! And as a Thank You she made my sweet Catherine two rose pillows using this gorgeous rose fabric. Aren't they beautiful?
They sit on the chairs by Catherine's table in her room where we have tea parties. Ladies have to be comfortable when we sit and play!

 Isn't Rebecca the best? How great of a Thank You is that!?!
And now Catherine's room looks even sweeter.

Time to play!
As Catherine says, "Thanks Miss Becca!"

Pillow Tutorial coming soon...
