«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 300 of 300 Newer› Newest»Love the Shop. I would love to have the Black Laraine (sp?) Bag Kit. There are a lot of great fabric lines.
There are so, so many blogs out there you don't want your shop to get lost in the maize. I would make your heading with a Link to the shop and have it be colorful and very obvious.
Thanksgiving is over, but it was exactly what I wanted. My hubs, son and I don't live near any family so we are very "tradition specific" on our own. We cooked together and made all the different things we each like and had a wonderful meal expressing what we were thankful for. Perfect.
This isn't a Bible story, but my favorite reading in the Bible are the sections I look up for specific guidance. In my Bible I can look up feelings, or special needs at the time like anxiety, or holding onto bad feelings and be directed to the passages to inspire me on.
"I thank God for being HIM. For being there for the whole human race and providing the spirit we need to live, the guidance in the form of the Bible and the unconditional love he has for us all. I thank God for the life he gave me to live out the best I can. I say thank you every night before I sleep for my day, and hope for another one.
I Linked your blog to Facebook.
Yesterday I woke "late" slept in till about 8:30..woo hoo (it's late for me). Watched t.v. with the hubs, had potatoes for lunch and relaxed all day together. Lovely.

YESTERDAY WAS 'BLACK FRIDAY' AND I MOSTLY SPENT QUALITY TIME WITH MY FAMILY! I DID MAKE ONE FABULOUS PURCHASE OF DURHAM FABRICS!
jldouglas@wispwest.net
I am a follower.
I went shopping yesterday on Black Friday, but not for Christmas presents. We got my daughter's hair cut and new shoes for my two girls.
Spent most of the morning trying to get out of my driveway that was filled with about a foot of snow. Around 10 am my daughter came and picked me up and we went to Wal-Mart to get a few things. Other than that....just tried to enjooy the day.
our black friday morning was spent at the naval hospital trying to figure out why our darling 9 month old had become such a nighttime monster - seriously, she hadn't slept in 2 nights and wouldn't poop to save her life!
then that night, we went out to get check a few clothing sales. luckily it wasn't busy anymore at 8:30pm!

My favorite hymn since I was a little girl is "In the Garden"
On Friday, I stayed home and was deep asleep and warm while people froze because they woke up at 3am and waited for stores to open. :D
All right! FREE ENTRY! :p
I follow the Happy Homemaker and Momma Blog
If I win, I will make a quilt for my Mom who is a very special person.
My favorite product in the Mary Madeline shop is the entire line of Flower Sugar 3.
I think you should move your store and call it Happy Homemaker and Momma Store. Less confusing and easier to find.
On Black Friday I went to church, had breakfast with my mother, brought her grocery shopping, went to they gym and did some sewing.
This is my first time to your site--I love it!
I am now a follower.
I LOVE the "Long Ladies", doing business with them is always a pleasure.
Thank you for the generous giveaway!
If I win the Red Rose Farm fat quarters I think I will make a quilt for my aunt & uncle who were recently married. The aunt is my mother's sister and the uncle is my dad's brother--they are in their late sixties.
They are super cute!
My favorite thing it to make gifts for others.
The think I love about Marie-Madeline Studios is EVERYTHING!
Their photographs of the fabrics are excellent and their pics. of each other are SO sweet. I enjoy when they post a new recipe and tell a cute everyday kind of story.
And they have great tutorials to boot!
One of my favorite hymns is "Children of the Heavenly Father".
I am a Google Friend follower. You can contact me at pattycoleman@live.com
I would definitely make a quilt!!
i love "Old Rugged Cross" - it was my nana's favorite hymn and i love hearing my mom play it on the piano.
taprilcrosier @ gmail dot com
i would love to see some pillow case tutorials :) or photography tips! (hehe)
taprilcrosier @ gmail dot com
"If you could have anything what would it be..." Spiritual a closer walk with God. Financially, a little more money, not alot. Family, I have the best, could ask for more family members (daughter and son inlaws & lots of grandkids)... Something just for me.... A laptop computer to do my photography on.....Oh, I have so much already...Thank You Lord.
29th entry: Holiday crafts are always fun to read about! :)
if i could have anything....
a third bedroom for all of our craftiness!! i want my dining room back (is that wanting two things, or can i lump them into one?!)
taprilcrosier @ gmail dot com
I'm a new follower and would use the fabric for a quilt that my mom and I would sew together.
pete.kelli.rummel@gmail.com
I am a new follower! Hope you'll visit me soon, too! ♥
I would like to make a small quilt...a lap quilt! I would LOVE to win! Thanks! ♥
I want a Happy Scrappy quilt...I've wanted one for a long time! HIGH on my wish list! ♥
I like the Happy homemaker...I think I shy away from a blog with the word virtuous in it. I know it's what we strive for but I like Happy Homemaker best! ♥
I enjoyed cooking a nice big dinner just for my hubby and I! It was a nice quiet day...a blessed day! ♥
I love the story of Ruth and Boaz, too. And I'm looking forward to reading the story of Jesus' birth for Christmas morning! ♥
If I had a pineapple, I would eat it over the sink until the juice ran down my chin! heehee! ♥
I'm a new follower but very glad I found your blog. So much to see and be inspired by!
I want to go snow shoeing!
a goal for this next year.... redecorate our apartment with as many homemade items as possible - be it made by my family or someone else's!
taprilcrosier @ gmail dot com
I am a follower of your blog.
I would use these FQ to make items for my Mother to spruce up one of her rooms.
I've toured the Marie-M. shop before and like their skirt patterns (think one was called Route 66). I like the gored and A-line longer skirts.
You should consolidate blogs and move your store to Happy Homemaker et al. It will be easier for you I think, and consolidate traffic to build sales.
What I looked forward to most for Thanksgiving was my mother and I going somewhere - so she would not have to cook (I'm a terrible cook and wonderful dishwasher) - and we could be thankful together with people we like.
I'm blogless so skipping extra entries 5, 6, and 7.
My favorite Bible story: Noah's Ark.
If I had pineapple, and we do, we would cut off the top, the outside, and core it. We would eat it as boats or chunks in oranges. We would plant the top in our "pineapple plantation
next to our compost. Fresh pineapple is good for you.
I thank God for his many blessings - the food he provides and my salvation by grace.
I stumbled upon my most recent deal. The first purchase was on sale with an automatic dollar off. The receipt had a $3 off coupon. I used this for the second purchase. That receipt had a $5 off coupon. I handed it to my mother. We had several BOGO free purchases with the $5 off in addition. Ended up with $15 saved (not counting sales prices).
On Black Friday I stayed home and sewed / worked around the house.
A favorite hymn is "In the Garden."
On HH&M - quilt or sewing tutorials. Photo journal.
If you could have anything what would it be?
Every family member would be saved and happy.
It is the first day of December only a few weeks before January 1st-tell me your goal for next year-something that you want to accomplish or do...
In 2011 I want to have improved health and energy - able to do more physical work to help my mother and to make more/better quilts.

Love the Ilsa handbag, so cute!

I don't have a shop so I really don't know how to advise you, but I would think that keeping the shop in the blog would be more manageable, no?
Either way I wish you success!

If I had a pineapple I would make pineapple mousse, it's so yummy!

I'm debating whether I would keep the fat quarters for a project of my own or give them to a co-worker for Christmas because she makes the most beautiful quilts. You could decide if I win! :)
I'm liking the anaclaire jumper pattern over at Marie Madeline Studios
I like this website...I get alot of encouragement and ideas from these girls...

Every Christmas I "guilt" my family into watching, "It's a Wonderful Life," with me. They love me making them feel guilty! We have alot of fun with this...HA HA HA.....
Well, I have the dilemma of a lot of quirks to choose from - I love to pull weeds - - now family members recognize that if I pull weeds when walking to their front door that it is just the OCD in me and chuckle. Thanks for the extra opportunity to enter.
i have a horrible pet peeve about closet doors being left open - i consider it "unfinished business" and just can't stand to let it happen!
