Coming Soon! CPSIA
For those of you that have never heard of CPSIA, it is a new law that is threatening to put millions of crafters out of business. While this law I am sure was passed with the best intentions, it requires lead testing on all items that will be used for children under 12 years old, it was created quickly and without much foresite to the ambiguous nature of the law. This law applies to ALL items that are intended for children under 12 and includes toys, clothing, bedding, the list goes on and on. Many in the hand crafting industry are calling Feb. 10th "National Bankruptcy Day" because anything that is sold after this day that has not been tested for lead will be illegal to sell. Lead testing is very expensive (we are talking hundreds and thousands of dollars per unit) and just not feasible for small businesses to do. While we as crafters, designers, and boutique owners want to be compliant and provide the safest items for our children, unfortunately many will not be able to continue with their business. For more info on this issue please check the following links.

Show and Tell Monday!
I don't know about you, but I love vintage chenille! I have been collecting scraps for a while and finally got some things together, these are a couple of baby quilts, but I hope to get a larger one done for myself soon!

My Favorite Place!
It is only April but I am already dreaming of our visit to my favorite place that will be coming up in September: Sannibel Island, Florida.
After moving to South Florida I was determined to make the trip again and it was just as magical as what I remebered. I wish I could leave everything and take up permanent residence there, maybe someday, but now I will be content with visiting. I wanted to share this special place with my girls and they love it just as much as I do. From the expansive beach, warm, calm water, and unbelievable shelling, it is paradise!
I just wanted to share some photos of our previous trips, what is your favorite place?
The boardwalk to the beach at dusk. The evenings are the best time to walk and collect shells, you can also catch a few glimpses of the dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico!
My two bathing beauties! The water is so warm and calm, you can walk way out and still be only knee deep in water.
My favorite time of day is shelling with the girls.
