MY NEW BLOG!

I've been thinking about the direction I want to take my business, which has a lot to do with my last post.  I find myself struggling to do all the things I want to do.  I love sewing, designing, crafting and the list goes on.  But, I struggle to find the necessary time for all that I need/want to accomplish.  After all I have my family, grandkids, and being involved in the youth ministry at my church.  So, that being said, my main focus will be to get my fabric shop, Fabrics I Love off to a great start for 2010.  In an effort to do that I'm starting a blog just for the fabric shop.

Don't worry.   This GiggleKids blog will remain open, as will my Giggle Kids Boutique shop, and my Not Your Mamas Aprons shop.  I will continue to keep stock in both shops, but want to focus on the fabrics.  Besides, if you know me at all, you know what a Fabric Obsession I have!  So for those of you that follow my blog, please show me some love by checking out my new blog at www.fabricsilove.blogspot.com, and while your at it visit Fabrics I Love too!  Oh, and if you go check out my new blog there is a discount code for my new shop!

FABRICS I LOVE!!!!

I've recently opened a fabric shop on etsy http://www.fabricsilove.com.

I've always loved sewing and anything to do with fabrics, fibers, embroidery, smocking, crocheting. Get the picture? So, I decided if I'm gonna do this I might as well feed the addiction, right? Now I have an excuse to buy fabric! What could be better?! Sell some so I can buy some, so I can sell some, so I can buy some..... I think there might be a pattern going here. Only problem is that I tend to buy more than I sell. So come on guys, help me out. Go check out my new shop and help a girl out.

And for a little incentive, from now until Dec 23rd the entire Be Merry Fabric line is on sale! I know I can't be the only one out there that does last minute Christmas sewing. These cute little snowmen would make the cutest lounge sets, stockings, or twirl skirts. So get them before they melt away! And if you need a little more encouragement check out the outfits my customer Amber made with the Red Snowmen from Fabrics I Love for her daughter and her friend:

And a chef in the making!

Serving her guests!! Sweet or unsweet? I think definitely sweet!!

So go. Check them out right here www.fabricsilove.com!

Before I Was A Mom~

I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mom -
I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom -
I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom -
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life
so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Happy Mother's Day Everyone!!
