Happy Saturday guys! Hope you've all had a great week, and are having a fun weekend too :) My weeks been pretty hectic... I'm hoping for some sunshine this weekend so that I can take some photos in the clothes that I've made this week.

Today I'm having a tidy up and rearrange session in Lola and Kiki's bedroom. I've finally gotten around to buying two new wardrobes for them. I've taken down the fa;ling down hanging rail, and gotten rid of the broken chest of drawers..... I always loved rearranging my bedroom as a kid... and still love it now too! I can't believe how many clothes these girls have... along with all the rest of their things! I think we need a bigger house. What plans do you have for your weekend?

Happy Thursday!!!

Well hello there!!! I hope you're all having a good week. Mine has been choc-a-bloc full again - man, I'm yearning for some quiet times! And a certain little lady has her back teeth coming through.. so hasn't been letting me catch very many zzzzzzzzzz's of late either. Lack of sleep and me really don't mix well. Fingers crossed it'll pass and she'll miraculously start sleeping through! I can always dream ;-)

I wanted to let you know that I'm taking part in a giveaway over on My Girl Thursday right now. There are a total of 11 goodies on offer for one lucky reader to win. I'm giving away a braided headband. Hop on over and enter! I also have another similar headband for sale here.

 

I've managed to find some sewing time this week too... the last few weeks have been so full, of going away and visitors coming, that I haven't had much chance. I stayed up way too late the other day and made a pile of new tops. Here's a sneak peak:

They're just awaiting a couple finishing touches... and hopefully a little sunshine and a co-operative husband later so I can shoot some photos and list them in my shop!!

Open for business!!!

At last... I've finally took the plunge and set up a new Etsy Shop. I wanted/needed somewhere as an outlet for all the things that I make... my home is in danger of being overrun with stuff right now!! Plus it gives me an excuse for all the fabrics and crafty things I keep buying ;-)

 

click here to visit my shop.... I shall be adding more items later today or tomorrow :)

Keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway coming soon!

Living Life Your Way....Interview with Brittany Wallrath

I've been working hard the last few months at overcoming my fears and following my dreams. So I'm running a series of interview with inspiring people to see what part fear has played in their life and how they've overcome it to live life their way...

 This weeks interview is with Brittany from Rebel Road Sister

*Hey! Tell us a little about yourself.

Hi! I'm Brittany from RebelRoadSister.com a blog about horseback riding, yoga and traveling...and sometimes running. I have many passions but mainly I enjoy life, nature and learning new things.

*Is the life you lead now the life you've always dreamt of?

Yes, well, kind of!  If I can categorize myself in anyway, it would be that I am a dreamer.  My goals and opinions, wants and needs change like the weather.  I once heard Diane Von Furstenberg on an Oprah interview say "I didn't always know what I wanted to do, but I always knew the type of person I wanted to be."  I loved that.  I am the type of person I always dreamed of being.  I may not have my dream job or dream house but those things do not make who I am.  

*When you have faced difficulties, what has been your inspiration to keep going?

My family and friends as well as my long term life goals.  If I want to accomplish things I know I have to take the good with the bad.  When difficulties arise, I try to learn from them and move on. I don't let anyone hold me back. Yoga always helps too. 

*Fear affects us all at some point. What part has fear played in your life and how have you overcome it?

 I love to travel - it's one of my favorite things to do. In August, I took a solo trip to Montana for a Horseback Riding and Yoga Retreat.  I was terrified of traveling alone. Since none of my friends share my passion of Montana, horses and yoga, I knew if I wanted to go I would have to go alone. Honestly, it was the best decision I have ever made.  I had so much fun and now traveling alone is no big deal! 

Fear affects me a lot. Trying to overcome it is a daily battle.  But if we don't push through the fear, we will never accomplish anything. If I hadn't pushed through my fear, I would have never went to Montana (a trip that has changed me so much).  

*What advice would you offer on following your heart and living your dreams?

I am so thankful to have come from a family who fully supported all of my dreams as a child. If one month I wanted to be a painter, they lovingly supported me and got me painting supplies. If another month I wanted to be a surfer, they brought me to the beach for lessons. Growing up, I never understood why people do things they don't love.  Life should be fun and exciting.  You should be passionate about everything you do from eating to your job. If you want to do something, make it happen. 

  

*What do you think are the three most important things you need to lead a happy and radiant life?

Love, Dreams & Laughter.  I can't imagine a day without those three things. 

 

Happy Valentine's Day
