my babe

my sick girl


Hello my dears,

So sorry to have missed two days of posts. Rory has been a sick little girl and I've been trying my best to ease her discomfort and still get some work done, so a few things had to go the wayside and unfortunately my blog was one of them. I spent the better part of today trying to get my daydreaming post (supposed to be posted yesterday) together and a Rory is six months old now post done, but alas my sweet babe needs her mommy and it was all for nothing. So this week is a bit of a wash (last week was too). However, tomorrow a new giveaway will be up and that is something to look forward to.

I leave you to return to my little love as she has woken up and is in need of a cuddle. Oh, did I mention that I am pretty sure that a tooth will be coming quite soon, that hasn't helped our situation out at all.

Best,
Jamie

Giveaway!!!!


I'm very happy to introduce the talented and super crafty Carolina of Pikithins who will be giving one lucky reader the Oriental Bracelet from her shop. If you visit her, you will find a variety of items as she is one crafty gal. From stuffed toys to really lovely and eclectic jewelry to note cards and more! Go have a peak and when you come back, I'll tell you a little bit more about Piki.

I'll wait!

Okay, these are  just a few my favorites from her shop.









Here is a little bit about 

Pikithins.
My name is Carolina and I come from New York. I've been enjoying crafts ever since elementary school. I've never been a person for following the actual directions to creating a card, or a piece of jewelry when it comes to crafts. Instead, I like to complicate the process by trying to figure out how an item was made by looking at a picture. It gives me the opportunity to create my own techniques. Plus, its a fun little puzzle game that keeps my brain entertained =). In this way, I've been able to work in different materials and crafts like felt, wood, acrylics, embroidery floss, macrame, jewelry, and doll making. The play between color and functionality is what I feel makes my items attractive and fun. Without those, my little world of rainbows prancing over skies would be ruined by fussy clouds of rain =).

Find her here:



This is what you could win.








Sparking with oriental flavor, this bracelet is decorated with a green hollow bead with a stripe design on its surface.
