49.6
Yeah, 49.6 pounds gone off this body of mine since January 2012.
I’m at my pre-kid #2, pre-kid #1, pre-wedding, pre-meeting my husband weight. It’s been 15 months of slow and steady work and it’s paying off. First I was dying to see that tip under 200. Just to see my weight start with a ‘1’ and do a little happy dance! When it happened I did just that.
Now I’m dying to see it tip a little bit more with that 0.4 so I can happy dance over the 50 pound mark.
I’ll get there soon.
Also, welcome and thank you to all the new followers and likers who came this way recently. I’m going to kick some crafting butt this weekend and have lots to share next week. Promise.

Another thanks to Janee.
Not only is my cyber space friend Janee hosting this super cool giveaway right now but she’s also dangerous to follow on Etsy. She favourites beautiful stuff, and also makes pretty awesome treasuries. Beware.
Because of her I found this great shop recently.
Not only am I a sucker for fabric, I’m super interested in printing my own someday so any shop where fabric printing is involved I like!

And now from my friend Janee!

I’m trying to be here.
The past, oh almost 12 months, have been kinda crazy for me. Things have been going on that essentially mean I should be changing my Facebook relationship status but instead I just let it be hidden months ago so I wouldn’t have to face this possibility.
So instead I’ll dip my toe in the water and kinda sorta spill the beans here. Maybe that means I’ll work up to something bigger. Maybe I’ll just keep saying nothing elsewhere, and certainly in ‘real life’.
Here is good for me. It’s good for you sometimes too because I might be struck with a brilliant idea or give some cool stuff away, or host a swap (totally plan to do that in the next few weeks). So yeah, thanks for reading and stalking me in other ways. This whole SewTara thing really helped me find myself again at a time when I needed it most.

Easy Peasy Necklace organization
I finally got around to making this little fellow for my growing accessories collection.
I picked up the plaque at Michael’s, it’s just one of those plain wood ones. Then I screwed in some hooks here and there, painted it a fun colour and stapled some baker’s twine to the back!
Nail in wall and voila!
Mitten Bay
I have no clue where it is but I want to live there.
Found these at a thrift store in Kensington Market in Toronto. Also, why didn’t I have a Hoedown in Grade 1?!
Next mission is an authentic looking shirt to stitch on this collection. Oh and expand the collection too.
Magnet oops giveaway.
So I mentioned making magnets and sometimes while crafting things go a bit wrong.
These lovely magnets are indeed, lovely, however they have a few bumps and bruises.
A few have spots on the back where the fabric didn’t quite catch in the button machine. And while this doesn’t effect the look from the front, or the fact it’s still a magnet they’re a touch substandard for selling. Soooo I’ve decided to do some clearing out and give them away. They’ll be fine holding things onto magnetic surfaces and with normal use. If you start poking at that little sticky outtie bit of fabric it’s going to fray and possibly peel off the magnet.
So if you would like to win either the 7 little magnets or the 7 big magnets leave a comment below! I will choose 2 lucky people and get them mailed out next week. Leave a comment before Friday, March 22nd. I’ll draw the winners on the weekend and send the emails!
Magnet crazy!
Well I went a little nuts over the March Break making and packaging magnets.
It was easy work, sick just time consuming, buy cialis and it resulted in me taking over the kitchen table many times while the kids played with friends or came in for a game or snack.
I just used some little baggies and cut some cardstock to fold over and staple. Then I use a MOO sticker to cover the hideousness of a staple. Pretty simple and easy. Now I just need to order more stickers. I use the MOO MiniCards for giving away SewTara magnets, case price tags and just usual business cars. I love their stuff.

Since it’s March Break and I have a 10 day stretch of no school I’ve been taking over parts of the house.
The kitchen table has fallen victim the most.
I’ve been working on small projects, hair clips and more magnets. If you follow me on my Instagram I’ve been moving around and creating various things.
Haven’t really hit the sewing machine yet since that’s in the basement and at least, even if my nose is buried in my crafting, I feel like I’m there for the kids. They’ve been enjoying the break by playing wii, having friends over, mastering Angry Birds on the iPad . . We have also hit swimming, gone for walks and hit indoor play places. So I’m going to say the break isn’t going too badly so far!
