Carry-a-long chalkboards
These are a bunch of portable chalkboards I made up. They have a writable surface and a separate pouch to hold a few chalk pieces. The pouch also doubles as an eraser. These are so handy as they have ties on one end to secure them. Just roll them up…

So I went down into my sewing 'Dungeon' all excited and motivated to get started...... until I looked around. The room was a disaster. There was not one inch of space that was free of clutter. There were notions, fabric, patterns, books, paper, etc. everywhere. There was barely a clear…

- well.....its like a purpley black but its patchy because my hubby did it :( And the chunky highlights which were supposed to electric blue came out green :( I need to make some cool teenager friends so that they can do my hair.....LOL! For now I will just put another bottle of the black and purple in to cover everything else.

Candi Roetman said… - Thnkyou for all your sweet comments! I was looking at your pics, and saw the baby shoes! How adorable! Wish I had some grandchildren to put them on. Your daughter is quite the little fashion model isn't she? She is lucky to have such a talented mommy to sew beautiful clothing for her!
