Earthday on the Horizon!

In honor of earthday we made this adorable upcycled dress out of the softest t-shirt ever that our friend sent us (thanks Laura!) All cut from the patterns of our spring line, other upcycled hand full "copycats" will be available in the earthday giveaway on the Natural Kids Team Blog http://natural-kids.blogspot.com/p/earth-day-promotion.html.  Check this out and all of the other great deals on amazing handmade goods for children!

I received this picture the other day  from a friend who bought a hand full banjo hoodie as a gift.  I love picturing where our clothes go but it is totally exciting to actually see where they land.  This is baby Wylder-- and he is an adorable model-- don't you think? 

Today I am grateful for:
1) cute babies-- oh how I love babies
2) a day off-- tomorrow I don't have to go to school and I am going to spend the day cutting fabric-- it is my form of meditation.
3)  my friend Sarah's voice-- she made me a cd of her singing and I listen to it at least twice a day.  It is so fun to have my friend singing with me on my way to work-- sometimes I even sing along.
4)  my family-- totally wacky (and outspoken) but extremely loving as well.
5) Wisteria Chic-- an adorable store in Sisters that just placed a wholesale order yesterday.  We love Debra, the owner who has been a big supporter of hand full since it's inception!  Check out her amazing shop!  http://www.redmondcommunity.com/wisteriachic.html

next door neighbor

As many of you know when I am not working on hand full I am a school counselor at an elementary school in Eugene, Oregon. My next door (classroom) neighbor is a wonderful woman named Phyllis. I love her being right next door-- she frequently stops by to say hello, check in about a student or tell me something cute. We have shared a lot of laughter and tears. For the past 3 years we have become quite close-- I was elated when she became a grandma for the first time last year. Baby Levi is adorable--- I love seeing pictures (especially when he is wearing hand full).
