Thought I'd quickly share the view from our backyard.  Things have been incredibly busy lately- my husband had reconstructive knee surgery a few months ago and things have been going well with my Etsy shop & with getting items stocked at the Olivia Clare Boutique in Hawi.  The kids have been back in school for about a month now so we're all getting settled in the swing of things again :)

Using up leftovers ... like I mentioned on my Facebook fan page, there's more to life than fabrics & threads :). I will admit- unless it has to do with actual baking (ie cakes, breads, cookies) we don't measure that often... its more like a dash of this, a handful of that.  I should mention by the way, my Italian/Scottish husband is an excellent cook and his "gravy" (spaghetti sauce) is

Its been awhile (okay, a month) since I've posted on here but this is something that's been on my mind alot lately.  Without a doubt, I have a "large" family, 5 kids is nearly 3 times the "average" for the USA so while this may not work out to the same savings for every family, it definitely makes sense for us $$ wise but health wise too. Let me preface this with the fact that my kids love the

Ah okay... so I must admit, I have been on "blog vacation" for a while.  Things have been busy and still are as I am finishing up a second custom prom dress along with some other orders at my Shop on Etsy . Here are a few pics of some fun Monster Easter Eggs my kids and I did- lots of fun though I have to say, the glue did not want to dry fast enough- I'm sure the "sweaty" eggs (condensation)

A dear friend of mine recently found out her husband has Stage 3 Brian Cancer that has been deemed inoperable.  They have 3 young children.  For the months of January and February I will be donating 1/2 of the profits from my shop to the familly to help defray their ongoing medical costs.  Through the month of January everything at my Etsy shop is 25% off so its a win-win-- you save 25% and 1/2
