A big change....

Those who know me, know I love crafting. From a young age its been my passion - crayons and paper were in my pocket at all times. Thats why, with sad dismay, I need to reduce my passionate business Kiss My Style. My once full fledged ecommerce, heaven is now a mere Etsy site. I cant keep up with the demands, the frustration of lack of funds, the desperate desire to fill orders until midnite on Christmas Eve. Its so hard to accept... I will never be "Martha" I will just be Meg. So here begins a new chapter.... Chapter 1 - who is Meg now?

Here are some pics of the Kiss My Style Closeout Party for tomorrow night.....

Our last weeks in photos

Hello all! Things have been insanely busy. We are trying to fit a lot of fun in a short amount of time before winter coats & slick roads stop the good time! Here is our last 2 weeks in photos... needless to say... it's been A LOT of fun!

First we hit up the pumpkin patches a few times. Hannah has never ridden a horse I was hoping she would give it a shot. So we loaded up the kiddos, the bags of necessities (diapers, change of clothes for the kids, bottle, sippy cup, toys, snacks, band aids ++) hopped in the family truckster and went to Roba's Farm.

She had such a good time, the next week we went back with KidDilly!

Then there was our trip to Knoebels. It was a blast. Hannah had a great time on all the rides and had her first big girl successful potty day. No diaper, no pull up, no accidents. YAY!

Then we had some relaxing time.......

And a little bit of love time.....

I was a lucky gal this month and got an invite to the Martha Stewart show to sit in her FIRST EVER Twitter section! Martha is my crafting mentor & I loved being included in such a cool experience. Rob was a Super Trooper and accompanied me & even walked 30+ blocks with me to PurlSoho to get my yarn on. I love him.

I had to whip up something Martha fabulous so a knitting I began......



The supportive and darling husband........

My sister in law took a picture of us on the TV.....



And our money shot!!.......



My goods from Purlsoho.....



And some work in progress (WIP)........

So home we went & came home to our darlings who love to take baths & be silly. We love them...... xoxo

This blog is inspired by....

Hello all - im meg: a mom, wife, crafter, lover of fabric & yarn, obsessive organizer, music addict, food critic (new at cooking), multitasking energizer bunny. I have a great almost 3 year old lil' monkey, Hannah and a new lil monkey still cooking.

It finally hit me that blogging doesn't have to be all business. It can be fun & personal too. With all the seriuosness of life, sometimes I forget the things I love. Being a Type A personality dictates that writing things down helps me appreciate life. What better place to share inspirations than on a blog for others to post their inspirations too?

This blog is about crafting, family, cooking, friends, books, activities and daily happiness that's inspired by..... anything. They say before bed you shold write 5 things that made you happy for the day. Its a hard task to keep coming up with new ideas! Let's see what happens with this blog....

Things that inspired today:

Lavender & Fabric: I'm sewing eye pillows, dryer pillows and neck/back pillows out of some delicious fabric like Michael Miller's collection. The lavender makes everything smell yummy. Our daughter Hannah likes to help. "I help you, mommy!" - those words make me melt.

Happier: A great book on achieving happiness no matter what life hands you. A GREAT read. The title is linked to amazon.

Alpaca Yarn: A great friend is having a baby and gifted me with some yummy alpaca yarn to knit a blanket for her upcoming arrival. The color is the bottom shade. Taupey goodness.
