THANKSGIVING SALE



thank you amy for making the sale pic! hop over to my shop to see what's on sale! the enchanted pumpkin.

old navy wish list




old navy has a bunch of cute cosy slipper boots just now. some are fair isle sweater type which i love. i think they'd be really cosy. i'll have to buy myself some i santa doesn't ..lol

gifts for mikey





i got a coupon from janie and jack so we bought mikey a few christmas gifts. janie and jacks clothes and shoes are really nice but a bit too expensive for us so we wait for sales and coupons. the just added a new line with pandas for boys that i love but have to wait for them to be on sale too.
anyways here is what we bought him. the cute moose sweater vest to wear for christmas, the reversible moose t-shirt, suede loafers (mikey likes loafers cause they are easy to put on by himself) and little leather boots.
sorry the pics are small they are janie and jack stock pics and i dunno how to enlarge them.
aren't they cute!

how does it feel...

to have a child with autism? you know that feeling.. the big lump in your chest and throat.. like when you break up with someone or say goodbye to someone you love..or when someone you love dies? that's how it feels..almost every day.

swap from bumkin bears





i was super happy when catherine asked me if i wanted to swap for sweet boo! i had been looking at him for awhile actually wanting him.
so i am very happy to introduce boo! he is a beautiful miniature bears. made with beautiful fur that is black with orange hairs so pretty. that face is simply adorable! and he brought his little pumpkin pillow with him and as you might have noticed i like pumpkins.
she also send some adorable smurf stickers and some fancy yarn bits! i love everything.
we are so happy boo traveled all the way from Belgium to live with us! cafe ole has already adopted him.
thank you so much catherine!

recent crochet






here are a few of my newest creations.

thrift store finds








here are some of my newest thrift store finds.. i found the blueberry muffin doll yesterday. looks like she wasn't played with. i am a sucker for dolls with unnatural colored hair!

i'm back...

just crazy busy here and still having sleep issues with mikey. his doctor thinks maybe he has acid reflux.. so no we need to take him to a gastro dr. also he is going to start going to a new occupational therapist.. which we will pay for since insurance doesn't cover autis therapy. so hopefully that will go well. it's good cause it is an evening appointment.
anyways will post somem fun pics next! huggs!

cutey, annabelle, bb and peanut.
hope you love them julia! thanks for the swap!

yet again a couple bad days...

we just can't seems to have more than a couple good days here! mikey hasn't been sleeping well and crying again.
also we are having a problem with him only wanting me..not daddy.. so i cannot cook, take a shower, go to the bathroom etc.. without him getting all upset.. and if that wasn't enough he wants me to carry him around. and he has gotten really heavy! and like i said it can only be me..not daddy.
what to do...?

no if i can get crepe suzette that would be so nice! ttfn!
