As I was madly

washing the floor this afternoon, I realize I never got around to blogging this morning. I figured I better get over here and get it done before I run out of time. The kids are almost home from school so there is the wonderful homework scene and supper chaos awaiting me in a very short amount of time. At least supper is in the oven. Attempt #120398 with bbq ribs. Let's see if I can get them right this time. Hopefully they taste halfway normal since we're expecting supper company this evening.



I had just gotten off my rump (at about 10:15am) and decided to put away the mountain of laundry sitting in my upstairs hallway when the door opened and in walked my husband's niece. I sheepishly looked around at my messy house, trying not to feel too stupid for being so lazy this morning. No worries, she has seen my house messy more times than I care to count.



I had asked her yesterday if she had any open mornings to come model some aprons for me. I had about 6 of them sitting here waiting to be photographed (story of my life). She tackled the breakfast dishes (gulp) while I attacked the aprons with the iron. Isn't she just the sweetest?!? This is the only one I have listed so far...

Sneak peeks of a few more...

Yes, Mom. Since she was already here, I did have her model your purses for me. Isn't this one just simply adorable? Upon seeing this purse, I half heartedly tried to talk my mom into giving up doll making and just doing purses. Seriously though, she has way to much talent to spend her days making purses instead of dolls.

Step 1 is done. Now I just have to list them in her shop for her sometime in the near future.

In other able mabel news, the Lovely Kim Kesti gave us a shout out on her blog today. Wow! I feel honored! Thanks so much, Kim!!
